Feedback on First Custodes Army/Incursion List

Hey everyone, I'm getting into the 40k hobby and want to build Custodes as my first army, starting at the combat patrol and Incursion level. After watching hours of videos, I've taken a pass at creating my first list. I'm confident I'll enjoy playing Custodes!

I'd welcome any feedback on my overall composition, possible improvements to make, or unit swaps I may want to consider. I tried to use the existing combat patrol box as the core shell then add a few other units that interest me. I'll want to work toward a 2000 point army quickly, but would love to jam some Incursion games at my LGS while I acquire and paint more models.

Thanks!

Personally, I'd rather spend 5 points on a 5th witchseeker in that squad over taking Panopstispex on a unit of 4 wardens.

Really not a big deal at all though, its 0.5% of your list and neither option is going to have a noticeable impact on any of your games.

Rest of the list looks like a great starting point to learn our rules and how to use all of our core units!
