Hello everyone, Looking to start playing at a competitive level, been reading through some of the Astra Militarium book and also recently got some of the Adeptus custodes bikes.

So came up with this soup list, which whilst I have never played either armies or tried the units out, on paper it looks strong, but would like peoples opinions.

Cheers all
