Custodes axes or spears

Hi all,

I'm going to fight astra Millitarum tomorrow and I was wondering what weapons would be best suited, he runs a lot of vehicles.

Now this would be a simple question to answer, since axes have a higher strength and damage, but spears have -2 ap, which is great against Astra Millitarum tanks which normally have +2 saves.

I usually run shield host so I would be criting on 5s so I could run lethal hits which would help my hits get through.

What's everyone's advice?

Trajann is with the wardens.

The BC with no enhancement is with the other warden squad.

It isn't an optimized list but custodes have always been one of my more unoptimized armies (especially since everything was in resin before the mini vehicle refresh they did recently).

Unfortunately I've only got one caladius so there isn't much anti tank (which I'm trying to fix).

Though any game tips and and list tips would be greatly appreciated!

Detachments

Hi all,

I was hoping to learn a bit more about the detachments and what they specialize in.

I'm not too familiar with custodes and their play style and I'm hoping to learn more. I am pretty experienced in 40k though, just with other armies such as grey knights and the such.
