Hi
I was thinking of starting a pure Custodian army. So I am looking for help and feedback on this list.
My thinking is that the troops and Dreadnought will walk around helping with objectives and kill stuff when they can. The Allarus shield captain will deepstrike with the other Allarus. And the one on the bike follows one of the biker units.
With the new bolter rules i split the weapons in each biker Group for more targets.
But I am new to The Custodes, never played with or against them. So any help is good.
I was also going to paint them as Shadowkeepers (in codex) But dont know how I should do their bases, so tips on this aswell.
Thank you all in advance.

For basing I've made a new basing tutorial on youtube...urban road kind of look. List looks good...for the bikers I would go all hurricane bolters for hordes clearance and leave the heavier targets to be taken out in close combat. you'll also save some points. But all looks good to me:)
Thank you
I will check out the video, I just found out that custodes does not benifit from the new bolter rules so I will give them to every bike. I also saw that FW has models for them aswell and I think I will get The dreadnought model from there even if I dont use their rules but i probably will. But the man reason is the same as with the Eldar Avatar. The FW model is sooo much better sculpted.
Thank you for the help.
Oh yeah FW have some great Custodes models! Yes you are right..the bikes no longer get the new bolter rules...such a shame. Enjoy putting the army togther:)
