Greetings,

With the advent of 9th I'm considering what armies I would like to get involved in, Adeptus Custodes is appealing, the model numbers are manageable, the paint scheme can be as complicated or as simple as you like and they look like they could be a finesse army, and those have always appealed to me.

I'm trying to come up with a 500 point list which is darn tricky but I came up with the below... it's pretty bare bones but I tried to get as many bodies on the field and vehicle, what do you think?

++ Patrol Detachment 0CP (Imperium - Adeptus Custodes) [28 PL, 499pts] ++

+ Configuration +

Shield Host

+ HQ +

Shield-Captain [7 PL, 100pts]: Guardian Spear, Warlord

+ Troops +

Custodian Guard Squad [8 PL, 147pts]

. Custodian: Guardian Spear

Custodian Guard Squad [8 PL, 147pts]

. Custodian: Guardian Spear

+ Fast Attack +

Pallas Grav-Attack [5 PL, 105pts]

++ Total: [28 PL, 499pts] ++

I think it is about as good as a Custodes army can get at 500 pts. I think some Sagittarum instead of one of the squads might be good but I don't think you have the points.

Haha, yeah that would be nice... 2 points too many and can't shave any bells or whistles off... because they don't have any to begin with
