While shield host is super cool and Auric champions was needed just to be taken seriously and not as a meme detachment, I still think they only fixed a problem, custodes still need to lose some of those nasty "ifs" on their strats, like -1 to hit in melee when you are in an objective and if you control it... yeah it's bad also Auric champions still has one of the worst stratagems in the game, 2 cp (now 1 with a captain) for a single character to fight on death, but that aside custodes will still stat check armies and people so they will be fine, still need to fix their lame codex but I am happy to see they are actually fixing it little by little
Castellan's Mark got a bit of a nerf as well since you now have to redeploy *before* finding out who goes first (it used to be after, which I found to be much more useful). I'm still taking it, but it was kind of a bummer.
