4/5 stars. I prefer the regular Custodian Guard Squad, but that's not to say this unit isn't great: it strictly is great.
Background.
Arguably having a greater degree of coordination than other formations, this squad is fundamentally a defensive configuration. They're still crazy deadly.
Strengths.
They retain the Custodes stat line but have exchanged their spears for the Praesidium Shields and Sentinel Warblades. This grants them a little extra durability.
I would advise taking some of those Solarite Power Gauntlets myself. They have "line" so hanging back on an objective is also a fine play for this unit.
Weaknesses.
The price to be paid here is slightly less attacking potential. So what? They're still Custodes and they're still powerful. It is true though, I prefer them with spears. Just saying. I can certainly see them doing well in boarding actions and Zone Mortalis in general though.
Builds.
3 Sentinels, 1 with Power Gauntlet (180 points).
A base line build. Take at least 1 power gauntlet in each squad, just in case!
5 Sentinels, 1 Vexilla, 2 Power Gauntlets (310 points).
A mid range unit that provides a potent threat. Expand the number in the squad to taste.
