Why Aye Ya Canny Dakkanaughts!

I'm thinking about getting into 30k but I don't even know if I have a suitable army for 30k, so before I go mad buying books and the likes, could I even make a list from my 40k Custodes stuff?

Here's what I have in my 40k Custodes army:
2x Shield Captains on bikes
1x Shield Captain
1x Vexilla Praetor
6x Spear Guard
3x Sentinal Guard
3x Vertus Praetor (Might be ordering a few more)
3x Wardens
1x Land Raider
1x Telemon Dreadnought

1x Knight Lancer

So, in short:
1. Which units can I use in a 30k Custodes army?
2. What kind of points level would I be looking at when fielding this list?
3. Would it be a good list?
4. How are Custodes in 30k? As disgusting as they are in 40k?

Cheers.

1. the only thing you can't use is the landraider
2. not sure - someone more custodes -minded should answer this one
3. go to 2.
4. top teir; listed alongside TS, mechanicum, SW and phosphex spam.

Somewhere in the dark...

the bikes you could use as proxies for the HH jetbikes but they don't really have the right weapons on them. the wardens you could use as hetaeron guard if they have spears or axes, or even as bog standard custodes if they only have the spears - I'm sure no one would care that they have those skirts on. But they look better as hetaeron guard. 30k shield captains can't go on bikes so you'd have to use them as normal bikers.

You'd basically have enough there for an HQ, three troops, some jetbikes in elites, the telemon in heavy and hetaeron in elites. It wouldn't be a well put together force but you couls certainly use it as custodes are extremely good in HH so you wouldn't be smashed off the board but your army composition might mean you don't win too many games. You're looking at, very approximately, 1500 points. A good amount for zone mortalis and small games of heresy but would need to bump it up to about 3k to really enjoy 30k
