The Custodians are the most elite of the battle brothers. While they are very few in number, These guys are even more slabs of meat than any equivalent army and will almost always be outnumbered.

			The Custodians are the most elite of the battle brothers. While they are very few in number, These guys are even more slabs of meat than any equivalent army. Opposite them are the sisters, all capable of blocking psychic spells and more mobile but at the cost of being as fragile as HDF veterans.

			*No psychic game despite being able to block with the best.
	~~== Army Special Rules ==~~

	*'''Anti-Psychic:''' Your sisters can all buy the option to block psychic powers despite not casting. It's a very advisable buy if you want to take down a psychic-heavy army.		==Rules==

	~~==Psychic Spells==~~		*'''Eternal Vigilant:''' Friendly units within 12" get +1 to hit rolls in melee.
	''~~Note~~: ~~This section needs more content. You can help the wiki by expanding it~~.''		*'''High Prosecutor:''' Friendly units within 12" get +1 to hit rolls when shooting.
			*'''Shield Wall:''' Enemies take -1 to hit when they attack any units where all models have this rule.

	==~~Unit Analysis~~ ==		==Units==

	===Heroes===		===Heroes===

	*'''Great Sister:''' ~~Your lone~~ hero, as the ~~custodian heroes are unable to be fielded in Firefight~~. However, she also has to dedicate between melee with her Energy Sword (which makes Furious a desirable buy) or shooting ~~with~~ either Flamethrower of Prosecution Rifle with a CCW (thus making Relentless a good pick). In either case, you can instead grab Scout for advance movement instead of Relentless or Furious. On top of that, you can also buy a ~~12" bubble~~ of +1 to either melee attacks or shooting attacks~~...or buy a bubble that provides Fast~~.		*'''Great Sister:''' A flimsier hero, but more than capable of synergizing where the Custodian Captain cannot. However, she also has to dedicate between melee with her stock Energy Sword (which makes Furious a desirable buy) or shooting by buying either a Flamethrower or a Prosecution Rifle with a CCW (thus making Relentless a good pick). In either case, you can instead grab Scout for advance movement instead of Relentless or Furious. On top of that, you can also buy for a unit bonus of +1 to either melee attacks or shooting attacks, which can synchronize with any loadout.

	===Infantry ===		=== Infantry===

	*'''Vigilant Sister:''' ~~All this sister has to her name is~~ an Energy Sword and Furious. You absolutely do not want her on the front lines, but to support your tougher guys. With no gun to call her own, you might be pressed to consider putting Witch Destroyer on your Great Sister so this one won't ~~be stuck in~~ the ~~middle of the field when she could be chopping down the foe in a charge~~.		*'''Vigilant Sister:''' Armed with an Energy Sword, and therefore is Furious. Don't let them get hit, abuse all the cover.
	*'''Prosecution Sister:''' ~~Sisters~~ with Prosecution ~~Rifles~~ and Relentless. Don't keep on the front lines, especially without cover.		*'''Prosecution Sister:''' A sister with a long-range Prosecution Rifle and Relentless. Don't keep on the front lines, especially without cover.
	*'''Hunter Sister:''' A sister ~~with flamethrower~~ and Scout, so you want ~~her~~ to make sure ~~that Flamethrower hits~~ the enemy at the worst possible time.		*'''Hunter Sister:''' This sister has a Flamethrower and Scout, so you want them to make sure their flamethrowers hit the enemy at the worst possible time.
	*'''Custodian Brother:''' Incredibly expensive, but very durable with a 2+ defense and Tough(3). ~~Each one~~ can ~~grab~~ a ~~shield for protection and a battle standard~~ for Fear ~~on top of your really strong weapons~~. ~~Wardens is also a viable option~~, ~~providing Regeneration but~~ you're ~~already paying a lot for~~ this guy ~~off the bat~~.		*'''Custodian Brother:''' Incredibly expensive, but you get a very durable custodian with a 3+ quality, 2+ defense and Tough(3). If you need more survivability, you can buy either Shield Wall or Regeneration so you can protect your extremely costly investment. On top of that, you can also pick up a Battle Standard for Fear. In most cases, you just need to make sure that you're killing everything you can with this single guy because you'll need to do as much to make back his value.
	**Melee: The ~~custodian is equipped~~ with a ~~menacing Axe~~ with ~~Blast(3) to hack through outnumbering crowds~~. ~~The Sword provides you AP(1) and Rending to handle most infantry for very cheap~~, ~~while the Halberd's AP(2) Deadly(3) lets you flatten monsters and the~~ Spear ~~provides~~ a ~~flat AP(4)~~.		**''Melee:'' The Custodian starts out with a Sword with an addon that can generally be used for any enemies. This can be replaced with either a crowd-clearing Axe, an armor-crushing Spear, or a hero-felling Halberd.
	**Shooting: ~~Luckily for you, all of your guns are compatible with almost all of your weapons. By default, you merely have a~~ Shot-Mount ~~for~~ AP(1)~~, but you~~ can mount ~~that for a~~ Fuse-Mount ~~for monster~~-~~hunting~~, a ~~Flame~~-Mount for rapid-fire~~, a Bolt-Mount for~~ Rending, a Storm-Mount for long-range AP(1) ~~or a~~ Needler-Mount ~~for~~ long-range Poison.		**''Shooting:'' The Shot-Mount the Custodian comes with is a pretty handy attachment, as it has AP(1) can handle quite a bit at a decent range. You can also take a new mount, with plenty of options. The Fuse-Mount destroys all brutes with ease, the flame-mount can overwhelm squads, a Bolt-Mount for rapid-fire Rending, a Storm-Mount for long-range AP(1), and the Needler-Mount gives you long-range Poison.
	* '''Jetpack Brother:''' ~~Less protected than the base custodian~~, ~~but the jetpack gives more than enough protection by letting you fly through cover~~. ~~By default, he comes~~ with a Destroyer Pistol ~~for some short-range rending but you~~ can ~~easily give them an AP(4)~~ Spear and ~~the option between~~ either a Shot-Mount or Storm-Mount depending on how ~~close~~ you ~~intend~~ to ~~keep them~~.		*'''Jetpack Brother:''' While not as tanky at 3+ defense, these guys have jetpacks so they can have mobility that most can't compare with. While they start with a short-ranged Destroyer Pistol with Rending and Dagger, they can pick up a Spear and either a Shot-Mount or Storm-Mount depending on how far you want to shoot. As with the standard Custodians, you can also buy shields and Regeneration for extra survivability.
