Time to see how the Adeptus Custodes will deal with the new edition.

Brian: The Adeptus Custodes are one of the most improved armies in the new edition. They’ve always had one of the most impressive collections of Stratagems, but now they have enough Command points to put them all to use! With clever army building and a bit of luck, you may easily find yourself with over 20 CPs during a game – more than double what most Adeptus Custodes players are used to.
The new missions work really well for the Adeptus Custodes as well. Many of them offer fewer opportunities to score points in the first turn, giving your forces time to get in place – and into optimal range for their weapons. Much of the game will revolve around controlling central objectives, forcing your opponents to come to you, which is just where the Adeptus Custodes want them. Of course, since almost the entire army has Objective Secured* and is super durable, you’ll hold those objectives better than anyone else in the game.

Venerable Contemptor Dreadnought
What About the Sisters of Silence?
These witch-hunting psychic nulls are often found alongside Adeptus Custodes forces as the other half of the Talons of the Emperor, and that easy alliance remains a key element of army-building in the next edition. You can include units of Sisters of Silence without invalidating your army-wide bonuses, and their unique abilities are a natural complement to your Custodes units.
