Funny you would say that. Custodoes can kill everyone. (Assuming you walk into charge range.)
Tailored Orks do much better than Take-All-Comers Orks.
Most Ork shooting is 24"ish high attacks on BS5+ S4-5 low to no
AP, and D1 so everything will snowball in favor of the Custodes. Lots of Shots with lots of misses, then often need 5's or higher to wound, which are then very likely to get saved or do little damage.
Battlewagons will help, the aircraft that I usually like - not so much with the flying Jetbikes able to charge. Shokk Attacks will be nice but few and far between. Rokkit Launchas will hurt Custodes, but have the short range. Mek Guns will likely hurt a bit. Especially 9 of them. But for the most part most of their weapon profiles look to still be on the Infantry=T5 Tops, Vehicles = T8 design, so they're missing that S6/7/8 Heavy Infantry area you'll see for Gravis, Custodes, and Centurions etc. They also didn't get much Anti-Infantry.
