The Adeptus Custodes are an army unlike any other. Each member would be considered a mighty hero by lesser warriors, capable of besting entire units or even armies of weaker foes. When they assemble in larger groups, they are a gleaming golden host, their speed and agility combining with frightening strength, skill at arms, and tactical brilliance.
The Adeptus Custodes rarely deploy in large numbers, but they are a hurricane force of destruction when they do. Trained in the arts of the Martial Ka'tah, their armoured infantry steadily advance – an army of gene-forged golden warriors who wield ornate powered blades with integrated firearms, every strike and shot a graceful killing blow. These are the chosen guardians of the Golden Throne, the Emperor's emissaries and executioners, and they meet any foe with the conviction and confidence of demigods.
The Adeptus Custodes are the guardians of the Emperor. They are each individually gene-forged, and their iconic golden armour is among the most magnificent in the Imperium. Now you can protect the Golden Throne with themed dice to match!
The Adeptus Custodes are demigods of war, sworn to defend the Emperor until death. They are among the most elite warriors in the Imperium, clad in auramite armour and wielding some of the finest weapons ever created by Humanity.
The Adeptus Custodes are towering champions clad in gleaming auramite who will protect the Emperor at any cost. With bodies and minds honed through ancient secrets of gene-alchemy and wielding individually crafted weapons of incredible potency, even a small band of these terrifying exemplars can carve a bloody path through hordes of foes. They fight side by side upon the battlefield with the cold-eyed witch seekers of the Sisters of Silence. Theirs is an eternal war, for the threats to the Master of Mankind are manifold and spread across the stars, but they wage it with breathtaking skill and ferocity, for to falter is to doom all of Humanity.
Drop pods are self-contained, recoverable orbital descent capsules, each designed to carry a squad of Space Marines or deliver lethal fire support. They are showered down from orbit like ordnance, allowing surprise attacks and precision combat drops to punch down right into the midst of active war zones.
Solar Auxilia squadrons of Basilisk and Medusa tanks can both lay down fearsome barrages ahead of the advancing ranks of infantry. The Medusa siege gun can crack open mighty fortifications, while the Basilisk's earthshaker cannon hurls explosive shells at great distances. Their hulls, derived from the Solar pattern Leman Russ, offer enhanced protection from all but the most potent enemy weapons.
Warhounds are the smallest class of ‘true’ Titan, classified within the De Bellis Titanicus as ‘Scout Titans’ in reference to their common operational role as vanguards to larger Titan battle groups, or support elements for lesser ground forces. A Warhound's sheer scale and power is enough to turn the tide of most battles – but when facing enemy Titans, they must rely on manoeuvrability and pack tactics to bring down their larger counterparts.
The Warbringer Nemesis Titan serves the Collegia Titanica in the role of heavy fire support. It mounts a single Warlord-scale weapon on its upper carapace and Reaver-scale weapons on its arms – sacrificing the speed, armour and manoeuvrability of a conventional Battle Titan in favour of firepower far in excess of its size. With a Mori quake cannon launching world-shaking shells of arcane power, the Warbringer Nemesis is a sight to inspire dread in all but the most battle-hardened enemy Princeps.
Warmaster Heavy Battle Titans are the embodiment of the Omnissiah's wrath. Once hidden away from prying eyes, these war machines have been unleashed in the cataclysmic days of the Horus Heresy. Though few in number, the thunderous tread of a Warmaster is an omen of impending doom, for little can stand against their fury.
Dire Wolf Heavy Scout Titans are sturdier and more heavily armoured than their Warhound cousins, and function as ambushers in Legio Titanicus battlegroups. Dire Wolves hunker down in forward positions to ambush and obliterate key targets with precise shots from their primary dorsal weapon, while their pintle-mounted arm weapons offer some defence against lesser targets, allowing the Heavy Scout Titans to focus on lining up a firing solution.
Warhounds are the smallest class of ‘true’ Titan, classed as Scout Titans in reference to their common operational role as vanguards to larger Titan battle groups, or support elements to lesser ground forces. When confronting enemy god-engines, Warhounds must rely on their speed, manoeuvrability, and pack tactics to bring down their larger counterparts.
