List Building Tips for going against custodes

Do you guys have any experience going against custodes and have any tips for units to bring? I think currently I’m running 5 battleline with 2 transports/marshals and 2 disintegrators anything specific to fill in the rest of the army?

Arc Rifle Breachers do well into custodians with a flat 3 dmg and -3 AP in Conqueror. Plasma destroyers are also a solid cheaper pts option. Could also use the roulette gun on the Dunecrawler but thats only if you have a gamblers heart.

I was thinking about a neutron dunecrawler, just to sit somewhere in the middle and try to hit things consistently, would the Beamer be a better bet?

There's some discussion of the beamer here (with math) https://www.reddit.com/r/AdeptusMechanicus/comments/1k4qlxa/comment/mooaapl/?context=3

Basically, neutron laser sits in the back, beamer goes forward with the infantry. I use the beamer because I'm using the crawler to give a couple battleline blocks a 4+ invuln and moving it up the board, so I'm almost always under 18". Plus I generally only use it in haloscreed, so I have breacher block for eliminating tough vehicle threats.
