So I'm looking in to Custodes and it seems like everyone is just spamming caladiuses (caladii?) and I don't want to do that because it seems boring. But I've also seen some people pair them with knights and it would give me an excuse to paint some awesome gold and red knights. So what about this list? I'm trying for semi-competitive but I'm pretty new so I don't know what weaknesses it could run in to. Thanks for the input.

House Krast is typically considered the best house even for ranged due to WL trait and Relics. I also think the Armigers should be Double Lightnings Locks rather then the Volkite.

On the custodes side. I am still not a fan of our infantry. Sags are MUCH better then guard but I don't think they are still worth it over more bikes or a loyal 32 Battalion (Cause lets face it we mainly take the troops for the CP and 1 guard squad is 161 point an entire loyal 32 is 180)

Just my competitive 2 cents.
