Warhammer 40K: Adeptus Custodes Reveals At Warhammer World Anniversary

The Emperor’s Golden Boys are back with a new codex, new Battleforce, and new Shield-Captain!

Few enemies of the Emperor can stand toe-to-toe with the Adeptus Custodes. Perhaps it’s their golden armor. Or maybe it’s their genetic enhancements combined with superior training. They also come with the best wargear in the Imperium — I’m sure that helps, too. Whatever it is, the Adeptus Custodes are are the warpath once again. And now they have a new Shield-Captain miniature to lead them.

Adeptus Custodes Shield-Captain

“Shield-Captains rank among the greatest warriors in all the known galaxy, equipped with superlative strategic abilities and combat prowess – not to mention an armoury more finely wrought than any other in the Imperium. With an absolute mastery of weapons and will, Shield-Captains are large and very much in charge.”

The new Shield-Captain comes with either the bare head or helmet option. Wargear wise you’re going to get the devastating pyrithite spear — a weapon that doubles as both a melta shooting attack and deadly melee option.

Adeptus Custodes Battleforce – Auric Champions

Your first crack at getting this new Shield-Captain will be in the Adeptus Custodes new Battleforce – Auric Champions:

The contents include the new Shield-Captain, five Custodian Wardens, six Allarus Terminators, and six Vertus Praetors on Dawneagle Jetbikes. Honestly, this already looks like a tough cookie of a Battleforce. It wouldn’t take much more to round out that and have a full 2000 point army ready to deal the Emperor’s judgements on his foes.

New Codex: Adeptus Custodes

“To find all the latest rules for these paragons of combat, look no further than the new Codex: Adeptus Custodes. It contains up-to-the-minute background information on the Adeptus Custodes, and datasheets and Detachments covering the Emperor’s bodyguards and the Sisters of Silence. We’ll have more information on just what’s inside closer to release.”

Well those were all the major Adeptus Custodes reveals from the Warhammer World Anniversary. You can bet the Custodes are going to be ready to mop-up the enemies of the Emperor when they arrive later this year.

You don’t want to mess with the Adeptus Custodes.
