Composite Higgs models provide a natural, non-supersymmetric solution to the hierarchy problem. The large top mass is explained with the introduction of one or more multiplets of new quarks, which could be well within the reach of the early LHC data. We implement the model in MadGraph and analyse in detail the collider signatures that these new quarks can produce. The discovery potential of the model in multi-lepton final states is discussed. Moreover, we outline a new method to reconstruct the mass of the introduced charge 5/3 top-partners.
