Hi, i want to build an army composed entirely of the Custodians and Sisters of silence found in the burning of prospero box set. Maybe an imperial knight to quench anti armour needs but thats about it. How would you feel about playing this list at a 1500-2000 level?

Sure, why not. Sounds like you're doing it for a unified theme. I like that.

I might suggest waiting a bit for Prospero to hit (for the 30k army lists) so you can grab a few of the Forge World vehicles (also because the 30k Custodes seem better organized and less haphazard than the 40k rules we've got at present).

I would love to see this on a table and would love even more to verse it. 1500 points would be my limit though just because 2k takes ages. But yeah, this would look tres nice.

The other upside to waiting for Inferno and getting some of the FW vehicles is that we all get to spend more time looking at the shiny golden sword/shield Dreadnaughts.

Really positive response, i am relieved x

This. The 30K version will be a proper army list (at least, compared to what's available now). I plan on doing the same and have already picked up some Custodes and Sisters cheap off eBay.
And anyone who wants to complain about you using 30K rules, point out that the 30K Guardian Spear does not have the annoying Block rule that brings the assault phase to a screeching halt.

Playing for fun and the army you love? Why not? It would be a great game no matter what the out come is.

That said, hopefully you can find like minded people like this in real life.

Sounds like fun.
Completely shutting down some armies' Psychic bonuses is always amusing.
The Custodes are a bit boring though, super Terminators...meh.

Ik its the wrong section now, but if you're interested, heres the exact list using current models. I think the custodians are just super terminators, but they are much more scary and certainly make it a tense game til they're wiped...hopefully. Sisters stop any powers, custodians protect, knight goes after armour. Its actually a really fragile list, and i dont think (apart from the knight) too overpowered for the point level. Id like to expand obviously. Please give thoughts etc x
