Two Shield-Captains led Steve’s winning Custodes for re-rolls, followed by Trajann for a great-named character with support for the rest of the list baked in.

Battlelines start with 30 basic Custodians for great bodies with good weapons, although more expensive (and better) than most other factions’ basic options.

There is also a unit of 5 Prosecutors for cheaper bodies that help round out the list totals.

Then jumping into allied units is a Callidus Assassin to mess with opponents’ CP, and two Extraction squads for super cheap bodies and a decent variety of weapons.
