I am looking for some productive feedback on a list that I am formulating for my first match in 40k. The aim is to construct a compound force utilizing Blood Angles and Custodes.

Given I am unfamiliar with the roles (Vanguard or Elites for example), I would much appreciate it if you could recommend gear to add to each unit as well as any models I should add, swap out, or remove. Also, I am totally in the black regarding point values, so that is also the goal of this thread.

Please give me a hand to the best of your ability or willingness. Keep in mind, that when I say that the wargear is unknown, I am asking for suggestions. In this way, I hope to remove any unnecessary costs and streamline the list.

Thank you for any contributions!

Also, could you guys give me a hand with completing this survey for my film studies elective? I have been having trouble with getting anyone to bite. It would help me a great deal if you could take a brief moment and answer the four questions featured.

Link to survey.

This website might be able to help you out, I'm new to 8th edition too and have found it really useful.

I'm a B.A. player, so I dont know much about Custodes, but you should be able to find the datasheets with the point values, rules etc that can help you to formulate a list.

Hope this helps

Learn how to use Battlescribe, it's great for messing around with point values and figuring out how to build an army.

*edit - It's also free.
