Custodian Siblings (1000pts)

This is a v2.50 Battle-scale list you can build using the Combat Patrol: Adeptus Custodes box from Games Workshop, or any other models of your choice.

Fairly low model count. Take care of Fusion weapons, as usual, as they can easily make their points back picking off Custodians. Use your Hunters to remove threats early, as 30 shots hitting 15 times, in an 18" threat range, with a 12" pre-game move for an effective alpha-strike radius of 30" will allow you to put a dent in basically anything, even without any AP(X). If your opponent's deployment is particularly sloppy, you can wipe one of their units off the board in your first activation. Prosecutors can safely camp in cover near an objective and chip away at infantry squads while your heavier lads walk up the field to stab something.

Taking a little imagination with what counts as an axe (this is a model-agnostic game, after all), and you can free up 15 points by swapping the Spears on your Custodians for axes, and use it for some better ranged options, if you wish. If you want something entirely different, you can go all the way back down to Swords, and use the 5 points the list doesn't use to purchase Shield Wall for all of them.

Your jetbiker can be built to swap back to the default Twin Devastator (24", A4, AP(3)) or Heavy Rifle Array (24", A6, AP(1)), for 5 less points (which you could use to equip the Prosecution Squad with Anti-Psychic combined with the other 5 points the list didn't use, if your opponent really likes spells), or for the same price, the Twin Laser Pulser (24", A2, AP(2), Blast(3)), to reliably kill squads of anything with 3+ armor or worse. As presented, their purpose is to take out vehicle threats early, with a 26" threat radius on their Fusion Missiles because of the bike's Fast and Strider special rules. After those are cleaned up, their Lance is very respectable for finishing off lighter infantry that your Hunters and Prosecutors have been whittling down, and isn't too shabby versus 3+ armor, either.

Most of all: Don't be afraid to play a little safe with this list! You have 14 models and each loss hurts, even your Sisters! 3+ armor is good, but isn't remotely invulnerable. If your biker needs to take a round off to zoom away and finish an objective that your opponent won't be able to contest, don't be afraid to do it! Unless you're the narrative type, in which case you should put that lance as close to your enemy as possible.
