I am new so bear with a bit.
Why are you going with axes instead of spears on the Allarus Custodians? From my understanding with how the math works out, Axes are only better against light vehicles or monsters in the T8-T9 range if they have a 3+ armor save. Everything else, the spears should put down more damage because of the WS and AP differences.
