1st Place: Mani Cheema – Custodes

Mani Cheema 1Mani did great at the London Open, making it out on top with his single detachment Custodes. The Battalion is led by a Jetbike Captain and Trajann. The Jetbike is great thanks to its incredible weapons and mobility, but also has the benefit of a hit re-roll aura for nearby models. Trajann on the other hand is footslogging so he’s a bit slow, but is also a fantastic combat model and has some great auras for the rest of the list to benefit from that the Jetbike doesn’t.

Troops see 6 Custodian Guard as a simple troop with decent stats and weapons that are overall pretty flexible. There are also 4 Prosecutors thanks to the Sisters of Silence now being in the codex, giving a few extra cheap bodies to help get a crisp 2k points on the dot for max efficiency.

Elites bring in 3 Achillus Dreads, which are mobile weapon powerhouses. they are durable and mobile, plus they can pack a serious punch from range thanks to the options they field.

Mani Cheema 2

Fast attacks bring in the speed with a total of 9 Praetors, which all have great movement and decent anti-armor shots, plus a fantastic melee weapon for some crushing charges!
