Custodes have been popping up more and more in 8th edition 40k tournaments. Let’s take a look at why they have been rising to the top!
More and more in recent tournament results, Adeptus Custodes managed to come in f1st place beyond all of the Chaos/Xenos shenanigans. Check out this recent list from the Bay Area Open that ran Custodes!

So the main workhorse in this army is the Custodes. With the heaviest armor being the Calladiuses and the Telemon, they took up an entire quarter of the points. A few Terminators, a Vexilla, and Constantin Valdor also showed up to tie any “loose ends” on the battlefield.
As for the rest of the list, there were two Battalions fielded mainly for CP and extra firepower. A Catachan Guard company with the Emperor’s Wrath formation came out to play bringing the CP regen loadout on the characters. The cool thing about Catachans specifically is that they can reroll the number of shots before they fire. (Talk about getting the best bang for your buck).
And with the leftover points, he brought an Assassin using the stratagem to cherry-pick whatever kind of operative he needed vs. his opponent. Great job bringing a unique list!
