Hi people ! So I had my first game against custodes lately and I got rekt absolutely by their 4++. As such, I am trying to bring about a list that can counter them with a high number of bodies and mortal wounds. What do you think of this ?

The list looks cool and fun but not sure how well it will work if he focuses the warriors your in trouble. I have the best results Vs custodes just running mephrit and dakka them down.

9 tomb blades with heavy Gauss do the trick nicely and with the new overlord we can mwbd them. Also the new cc destroyers are quite good if you play with alot of Los blocking terrain.

I too have trouble dealing with the Custodes, I have only recently started playing Necrons, but so far multi wound weapons seem to be the way to go when dealing with custodes, they might be able to save most of them, but the one or two that get through can hurt a lot when it melts a custode or two... the biggest pains I've had to deal with have been the jetbikes, and the strat that lets them switch warlords with out giving you slay the warlord.

I mainly play Thousand Sons now, and Mortal wound spam seems to be the best way to deal with them, but they have a save vs psychic on 6+, so if you can get other ways to deal mortals consistently that aren't psychic that's probably the way to go.
