What do you think?

Looks like it will probably put the hurt on most. Especially with the FW tank included in there.

I think my only objection (and it is fluff wise and nothing else really), is people (not just you!) using the IG CP battalion as the Warlord for the force. It just runs nails down my spine every time. The Custodes should (and really would) be running the show, but I understand what has to be done to be competitive.

I understand you but in a game made for hordes, a super elite army is very limited. In addition, custodes have a number of stratagems that without CPs do not shine as they should. However i tried to take the minimum IG possible.

I have posted 2 list of pure custodes, but I do not have any comments. You can see them here:

For the fluff the IG commander as Warlord represents the grand strategist, leaving custodes free to wage war, which is what they do best.

Thanks for the comment!
