Hello everyone,

Not played my marines for a long time and thought I would make a list using my recently picked up custodes bike models.

I think the list could do quite well, with some hard hitting units available and support fire from devastator squads which can make use of the hellfire stratagem and also versatile with the loadouts.

Also have never used the ancient character but after reading the rules, sounds like a very good model for the pts.

The custodian shield captains can roam around either together or separate causing issues and provide a nice combat unit.

Let me know any thoughts,

I think you can only have one relic in your list.

You could take the standard of EA if your warlord is an Ultramarine but not the relic of terra or vice versa.

You only get access to relics if your Warlord is from whatever codex/faction/chapter.

Yeah, you can only have one relic. Unless, of course, you have access to stratagems, and he does since he has pure detachments. He can have up to 5, if he pays for them

Agreed, but would they still not need to be from the same Codex? You only access to the relics of the warlord’s book. Right now he hasn’t one relic from each. It was more along those lines that I was commenting.
