And is the praetor with the vexilla defensor really worth it? Can't see what he adds to the list tbh - a 5++ on guard squads is definitely not worth it.

Have you thought about whos having your relic and warlord trait? The custodes relics are fun, but you also have the guard command point options - grand strategist and kurovs Aquila will greatly boost the amount of CP available. If you do go this route then you can still use the 'open the vaults' stratagem to get the jetbike relic for your biker captain. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/750086/9818643.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/750086/9818643.page GMT [2000] - Custodes/Guard HQ will be the company commander with Grand Strategist and Kurov's aquila.

I'm curious to hear how this list has been working for you! I'm in the midst of building a similar list with a large Custodian Guard squad (to deep strike) and bikes.


So the caladius served its purpose very well as a flying death machine. After an alpha strike of 30 bloodletters landed a massive 3d6 charge of 16 and were able to wrap through the screen squad of guardsmen and place models against the tank, being able to just move it 16" away behind a squad of 3 custodes spearmen and resume firing on 3+ was vital. I do believe the best custodes list will revolve around large bike units, but the tank having a 60" cannon and 16" of movement proved to be a somewhat deciding factor of my game as it gives the custodes some serious ranged punch. The large blob of custodes is an amazing deepstrike for 1CP, even with somewhat poor armor save rolls, being able to wound allocate in such a large squad almost guarantees you do not lose one until you get where they need to be. I will probably be editing the guardsmen some... it was not a pretty game for them]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/750086/9857745.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/750086/9857745.page GMT
