I picked up the custodies christmas starter box.

1 General Trajann Valoris
3 Vertus Praetors
15 Custodian Guard

What is a good way to go from there? I tend to follow the same pattern when I build armies, and that is a little bit of everything. The book is good a wobbeling across the table and stand on objectives. For that building some of the custodian guards into the bannermen that grants the 'light cover banner' seems good. Give the guards shield and just be really though.

How ever I have a hard time finding the anti tank weapons in the book. From what I can see it is dreadnoughts with multimleta that seems very slowmoving. (Good with the re-roll hit and wounds subfaction.) And the Praetors seems to have some high damage.

Would a good list be:

1 Valoris
1 Terminators character with the teleport relic
1 Praetor bike captain.

2 units of guards with swords walking upwards
2 vexilus praetors with banners (light cover)

12 bikes with rockets

Some units to hold the home objective (sacresant custodians?)

I am a bit budget minded. So staying clear of most of the forge world could be smart.

Something like this perhaps:
