So I decided to run the new Custodes with my standard Grey Knight list, accompanied by Inquisition (do a very good job eating overwatch for cheap!) and a knight (provides some additional alpha strike to a strong mid to late game army)
Grey Knight CAD
Librarian
-ML3
-Domina Liber Daemonica
-Falchions
2 Units of 5 Terminators
-Hammer on Justicar
-Psycannon
2 Dreadknights
-Sword
-Heavy Psycannon
-Heavy Incinerator
-Personal Teleporter
Oathsworn Detachment
Knight Crusader
-Avenger Gatling Cannon w/ Heavy Flamer
-Rapid FIre Battle Cannon w/ Heavy Stubber
-Melta Gun
-Icarus Autocannon (my only dedicated AA, mostly just hoping to force a few jinks)
Inquisition Detachment
Ordo Malleus Inquisitor (Warlord, because whatever I can give up warlord, but locally "scoring" in old rules = obsec, and getting 2 more obsec units in this is good)
-Power Armour
-Daemonblade
Ordo Malleus Inquisitor
-Power Armour
-Daemonblade
2 Henchman Units
-3 Crusaders each
-2 Death cults each
Golden Legion Task Force
Custodian Guard
-2 Sentinel Blades and Storm Shield
-3 Guardian Spears (one on sergeant)
So the libby joins the Custodes to try and get Sanctuary (pretty good chance) and get them the possibility of hammerhand, the shields go in the front to tank shooting, and then get into combat for ridiculous punch. Thinking I will walk the whole thing across the board, I can give up my shooting with the Custodes, it's not very good, so they'll run. The Terminators probably won't be the first priority to kill since there is a KNIGHT and 2 Dreadknights (they kind of build the big and scary part of my list, even if they don't put out most of the damage), my inquisition squads are good at eating overwatch (its astonishing how good crusaders are at this, for 15 pts they are really good and still expendable) and if they make it in can seriously do some damage (every one in the actual squad is AP3 and the inquisitors can be AP2 if I'm lucky). What are peoples thoughts? Fun for both players (meaning I don't get my ass handed to me) but not super rough is the plan (yes I know there is a knight, but around here super heavies are everywhere and this one doesnt even bring the D).
