I'm building an Imperial army for my kids to learn with and for me to use on occasion. I landed on Custodes because they're very similar to what I normally play. Plus I really like the models. I've made this list in hopes of feedback, mostly regards to the beta stuff. As far as if the points cost is justified or if they're not worth getting. The transport tank will have a unit of Guards plus the Shield Captain.

I would drop the Coronus, it's hugely overpriced for what it does, and use the points to bulk out your numbers a bit. If you can free up 180pts take the Loyal 32, you need all the CP you can get.

Agree about the loyal 32. Take the vexillia if you can fit it in too. That 3" charge stratergem is too good to miss out on.

Thanks guys. As mentioned, it's for my kids to learn. So I'm not trying to optimize too much. Nor soup.
