I’ve tried to get help on this topic in army lists but maybe it’s because I don’t have an actual list to critique, I’m not seeing responses.

Can anyone help me with a Custodes list 1000 points and 2000 points making strong use of witchseekers/prosecutors/vigilators?

I’m just coming into 9th and only have a few games under my belt, not sure where to begin to buy models as I don’t want to waste money (which is funny to say considering I’m building an army on models I think are cool).

It may also be because nobody really knows what to do with the Sisters of Silence; they have pretty much no support of any kind and I'm not 100% sure they're Matched Play-legal right now. They have no HQ, so unless their "can take a detachment with no HQ" rule still exists (which it doesn't for the other armies that used to have it) you're stuck taking an Auxiliary Detachment per unit. You might be better off trying to proxy them as Sisters of Battle or using them in 30k.

They have current rules and there vangaurd detachment plus other rules and strats with no hq required in the war of the spyder physic awakening book.

Im planning on using a couple of squads in my custodes army, one with bolters as objective sitters and one with flamers to clear some hoards, unfortunatly i cant find a use for the swords as there just to limited in scope which is a shame as they look the coolest, plus with gk and 1k sons coming there ability to mess with pysker powers could be fun.

at 1250pts.


30 SoS in transports, 4 shield guard, a vexilla defensor to grants all the Rhinos and sisters a 5++, and Valarien and Aleya. Using aquilon shield host to give the vexilla the half damage WL trait and the strat that lets the shield guard bodyguard stuff. At 1250 its pretty fun.

Edit to make it a bit more efficient. 10 flamer sisters overwatching is pretty scary and its slightly better to have 2 min sized melee squads to split into different targets and get +1 attack from the second sister superior.

I was going to suggest something similar for a Talons of the Emperor list. If OP wants as many Sisters as possible here's what I would cram into a 1000pt infantry heavy list.

Points 995 (CP-1)
HQ
Valerian and Aleya
Shield Captain (Warlord, Captain Commander. Superior Creation, Indomitable Constitution, Relic: Eagle Eye)


Elites
Prosecutors x5
Prosecutors x5
Vigilators x8

Transports
1x Null-Maiden Rhinos

Prosecutors for backfield objectives. Valerian & Aleya + Vigilators in the transports. Rely on Custodes Guard to be the immovable objects they are. I was going to recomend Raiment of Sorrows for the relic but then I noticed it won't apply to SoS losing a model.
