Pure Custodes with Troops



So the aim of this list is to make something with the Custodes, with a few more command points to boost your options in the game itself, and to increase your number of Characters to boost your swap the Warlord Stratagem as well...

So like the previous listits worth pointing out that this list requires:

3 Boxes of Custodians - £105
2 Boxes of Vertus Praetors (the Jetbikes) - £70
2 Boxes of Allarus Terminators - £60

Bringing the cost to £235, potentially around £210 with online discounts, which isnt too bad for 2000 points - this also nets you 4 additional Custodian Guard that arent used in the list!

The Plan
With 7 command points to begin with this has a few more options than other lists I have written.

It spends 1 command point to Open the Vaults, and really should spend 1 Command point for a deep striking Custodian Guardian Squad for Turn 3 Objective grabs. 

It has two harder hitting units in the Vertus Praetors backed up with a Shield Captain on Jetbike to nip around causing people problems,

While the Allarus Terminators can deep strike in on turn 1 supported by the Shield Captain & Vexillus Praetor with -1 to hit. 

That gives you a decent ability to threaten two seperate areas of his battle line, or to focus all your efforts on one point to really drive through the enemy force. 


Based off of what I want to build for my other list, this isnt too much of a Stretch to give me some different options.

I am not sure how competitive it would be, but it is a very hard list with some decent firepower and combat ability to hit someone where they least expect, or rather really don't want you to! 


It does have a lot of Characters (5 in total, 2 of which can deep strike for free), with plenty of opportunity to move your warlord away from the danger area.

Nice looking list

How is it faring on the table so far?

Hi Gareth, at the moment its very much a plan for what I could do vs what I have actually done.

I think this will struggle with things that can avoid combat, but it has a number of options.

As soon as I get some games under my belt though I will let people know how it goes!
