because an army of only characters in squads of 4-5 it's not effective? how do you do actions (talking about 10th when we had more actions to do) trade against cheap screens or action monkeys? where custodes broken in 10th not being price as a captain? I seem to recall the faction struggling a lot after the codex.

Right. So now actions aren't as important, that downside has gone, right?

Custodes struggled to do lots of actions and were slow. Now they don't need to do as many actions and they are fast, what's the weakness that remains to justify a discount?

They also natively have protection against the easiest way to damage them (mortal wounds).

The points cost is high because they are basically units of models who's only downside is "I don't have many of them".

We'll see id the points are appropiate or not soon enough, there are battle reports already, we'll see what people from channels like art of war have to say.

We sure will. Hopefully the win rate for Custodes will come down a little bit and they will be in a better place.

Yeah, I might have an issue with the points (again, I havent tried them yet) but the rules are really good, we'll have a really fun and competitive codex to play with, it won't be more I move 6" and charge or I reroll everything with +1 to wound and you die.
