Hi all,

I'm working on a list for Adpetus Custodes and looking at an army to be around 2k points that will hopefully hold its own. My hope with the Pyrithite Spears is that they add some much needed anti-tank.

Any thoughts/suggestions/concerns about this list are very welcome!

BUMP - I'd really appreciate any advice about weaknesses in the list

I think the biggest, obvious drawback is you have very low CP points in the list. You could easily solve that by splashing an AdMech or Guard detachment? Guard could also allow you some psyker defense.

You lack long range anti tank. You lack CP, your foot custodes are 80% close combatants but you have not way to get them into cc.

That is my take.
