It also contains a pair of deadly Kastelan Robots and their Cybernetica Datasmith handler, six Kataphron Destroyers (or Breachers ) that can be armed with a variety of heinous weapons, and a unit of Skitarii Vanguard which can be built as Skitarii Rangers . These elite guardians of the Imperial Palace and the Golden Throne are the personal bodyguards of the Emperor. This legendary warrior is more than a match for all but the very mightiest denizens of the 41st Millennium – even more so when supported by highly-mobile Vertus Praetors, nigh-indestructible Custodians in Allarus Terminator armour, and a large force of versatile Custodian Guards, the finest infantry in the galaxy. Bullets and shrapnel ricochet from gilded auramite breastplates – these warriors are armoured with the finest wargear, carrying the blessing of the God-Emperor Himself.

This box provides 22 plastic models with a huge variety of weapon options and alternative builds, making it an ideal way to start a new Adeptus Custodes army or customise your existing collection. The knights are playing a good hand here and are just edging out the Custodes in terms of savings, and come second to them in terms of points. For example, you can use Pallid Wych Flesh to highlight belts and Runefang Steel to add highlights to metallic parts.Chapter Master Kayvaan Shrike leads this strike force from the front, supported by a Librarian in Phobos Armour .

You’ll also get a set of Imperial Fists Primaris Upgrades and Transfers to mark your force out as the true sons of Dorn.

Shrike and the Reivers make a solid pairing for a sudden strike and the pair of warsuits and eliminators give them some meaty back up.
