Goatboy’s Grimdark Armylist: MSU Adeptus Custodes – Golden Dudes Everywhere!
This MSO Adeptus Custodes lists hits hard from everywhere all at once. The Golden Boys are back!
The new “good” Custodes army seems to be a nice option to play if you want to throw something on the table that isn’t too big, seems somewhat simple enough to play well, and would most likely look cool. Plus – it seems to be a nice sized army to fly with which is always a good option if you are player that doesn’t get to play enough locally.
Of course that list isn’t something I want to exactly play so instead I want to tweak it a bit and add things that I like more. Make it a bit more “moveable” then just two bricks of Wardens and instead lets you try some things out.
Will it work? Who knows but it is probably easy to get ahold of then trying to source 20 Wardens. Of course it has 10 Wardens but it needs a bunch of other fun stuff to run around with. I like the idea of having more units to try and “win” the game other than just pushing models into your enemies gullet.

Golden Custodes MSU Tactics
Using the MSU Custodes armylist is pretty simple. You are going to boost the crap out of your Wardens, and move them forward. Hopefully you will take the center versus all the pressure you get from the current winning armies. The rest of your army is going to move around, and score some secondaries. Mainly it should just be a pain in the butt to deal with as they counter charge their way to victory. The pressure games are high in a lot of the top list and this is one of those armies that can take that pressure and break the enemy across their knees.
For the Emperor!
