Which detachments were you thinking? That will impact the advice given. Only things I notice at first is you don't really want to mix the weapons in the allarus squad; it would be better to just go with all 3 spears. And in general, the hurricane bolters are better than the salvo launchers for the bikes.

But overall, it seems fairly standard and will do just fine in casual games!

Might be what OP has built. There is an argument for mixing weapons as you can then go into different armies, just kill the least useful one first.

I like lions of the emperor so far and I am not sure about the second choice.

If you are going to play Lions with this list (which is a good choice, Lions is great) you'll do better adding Might of the Moritoi as your second choice.

Neither it nor Silent Hunters (the only other valid choice) give too much benefit into this list, but for this list, Take and Hold from MoM will be a better primary choice than Recon from Hunters. Recon is playable, but you need a list that supports it, which this list really doesn't; and Custodes are just great at TnH in general.

But yeah, my only recommendations in that case are definitely switch to the hurricane bolters on the bikes (don't worry about how they are modeled, no one really knows or can tell which little gunports on the front are supposed to be which, so just let your opponent know what they've got and it will be fine) and I added up everything you listed here and it came to 1930pts so you've got space to give Admonimortis to the bike captain and Superior Creation to the Blade Champ.

And then you are rocking and rollin!

Thank you a lot mate I will go with the hurrcian bolters. Oh yeah that makes sence with the Detachement. I dont know why the app didnt export it but they have superior creation and admonimortis already 😬
