Hello, I´m starting a custodes army and I´ve been reading a lot about them but haven´t played them yet. So before buying I would like to know what do you think about the list I plan to play


Battleforged +3CP

Adeptus Custodes Supreme Command Detachment +1CP
Open the vaults -1CP

1 Shield Captain in Allarus Terminator Armor
Castellan axe
Pretorian plate

1 Shield-Captain
Sentinel blade
Storm shield

1 Shield Captain on dawneagle jetbike
Auric Aquilis
Misericordia

Adeptus Custodes Vanguard Detachment +1 CP

1 Captain-General Trajann Valoris

1 Custodian Guard x3
3xStorm Shield 3x Sentinel blade

1 Vexillus Praetor (Warlord - Champion of the imperium)
Storm shield
Misericordia
Vexilla Magnifica

1 Allarus Custodians x5

1 Allarus Custodians x5

1 Vertus Praetors x5


The idea is to deny points to the opponent. the shield captain with storm shield and the custodian guard (engineers) sit at the back on objectives. Bikes, bike captain, trajan and vexilla advance. both Allarus units and allarus captain deepstrike with strat and pretorian plate respectively if possible. Against marines and other heavy hiters armies i would have to play defensively, trying to deny kill more and possibly kill, scoring engineers and others.

What do you think? thanks for the advice!

I think you should buy and paint 500 pts before buying the rest. I'd recommend you get a Battalion for some more Stratagems.
