This game really played to the strength of the Custard, imo.

Matt just didn't have enough shooting units (or smites or whatever) to make a dent in the Custodes before they got in close combat and did what they do best.

I didn't expect the Praetors to one-shot the GUO. Surely, a unit of them would have to be an auto-include for any Custard player. They seem to me to be too good to leave out.

I think Abe said it near the end of the show, too, that it would have been different if he had not had his Astra Mil buddies there to recycle CP. We were discussing this in chat a bit; I don't think pure Custard is going to be people's army of choice (as cool as they are), but as a Imperial Soup ingredient, they are great. I'll still be getting some just for the models, I think :)
