Hi guys. Just after some opinions on the current imperium list Iv been working on. Looking to be reasonably competitive without sacrificing a decently fluffy list IMO.

Any comments greatly appreciated!

Custodians on foot are horribly overpriced, drop them. I'd also give hurricane to all bikes: you need dakka to remove screens and hordes, you already have plasmaguns for the big stuff. Consider adding tempestus command squads with 4 plasmaguns with the points you have left.

Iv only used custodian guardians once so don’t have great experience with them but they did take down skarbrand in one round of combat! The idea with them was to either camp a home objective and be seriously hard to shift or deepstrike and try to claim an opponents objective.

True, they can kill skarbrand in one round. BUT, they are also quite slow if footslogging, and suffer screens and deep strike deniers if sent on deep strike. They can also be tarpitted. Unfortunately, in the custodes codex anything that's not on a bike is severely overpriced (and if you plan on using them as objective grabbers in your backfield, you're investing a ton of points for something that will be ignored by the opponent until the time he marches towards that objective with a lot of ObSec units and grab it anyway...)

The inclusion of a Culexus ruins the MT detachment, losing the storm troopers doctrine.

Officio Assassinorum units are not included in the 4 auxiliary Imperial divisions which can be included in AM detachments without them losing the regimental doctrine. I don't know anything about the GOLD blokes but if you can move it to their detachment without affecting it then go ahead.

I know and it sucks. If I moved it to the custodes detachment they would all suffer -1 to inv save (current 4+). So I think losing the doctrine is the lesser of 2 evils! The army really needs the psychic defence.

Ok guys. Few revisions to my list. Dropped the footslogging guardians and salvo launchers in place of another shield captain and Celestine. Figured may aswell go full on aggressive!

I've already got the non-custode detachment covered and I LOVE the dawneagle bike models so I might have to swipe your list and spend my lunch money for the rest of the year on bikes. If/when you play it you should report back with your findings

Swipe away! Hoping to get a game in this weekend so will report back if I can.

My biggest concern is enemy deep strikes as the list lacks any kind of screening.
