Games Workshop - Warhammer 40,000 - Adeptus Custodes Dice Set

Product Information

Indomitable Guardians- Let’s a CUSTODES unit within range of an Objective interrupt combat for 1CP, letting you really control the flow of combat over an important point of the battlefield. If you’re battling near an Objective, always remember this one over the more expensive Core Stratagem.

A PRIMARCH or SUPREME COMMANDER is marked for death, or if neither is present the enemy unit with the highest points value, excluding AIRCRAFT . At the end of the battle score Alongside the anti- psykers known as the Sisters of Silence, the Adeptus Custodes bring war anew to the enemies of the Imperium. All shall learn to fear their golden warships, for they herald swift and unmerciful slaughter. These are heroes of fire and blade, and they will not stop until every threat to their immortal master lies slain. Mission actions are specific to the mission you are playing, and will be detailed by that mission’s briefing. Missions can be found here (Open Play mission) and here (Spec Ops Narrative missions). Only this time the Custodian Guard would be accompanied by the new gene-crafted warriors meant to replace the Thunder Warriors; the first few thousand prototype Space Marines, most of whom would go on to form the nascent I st Legion, later known as the Dark Angels. The hour of action is nigh as the Era Indomitus dawns. With the surge of Chaos activity across the galaxy in the wake of the Great Rift's birth and the threat of eternal damnation more real than ever, the Adeptus Custodes have taken their vow of protection to its logical extreme -- they will see the destruction of those forces who pose a threat to the sanctity of Terra. First amongst these are the dread hordes of Chaos.The codex also brought the Sisters of Silence – anti-psykers extraordinaire, and historic allies of the Custodes in the so-called ‘Talons of the Emperor – into the Adeptus Custodes codex for the first time, with rules to fight alongside the boys in gold. The Dangers of Excellence (Unknown Date.M42) - Amidst the horrors of the ongoing war against Chaos, it is deemed heresy for Administratum clerks to suggest the Adeptus Custodes could ever lose a battle, regardless of the odds. Fearing for their safety and their souls, many Adepts record campaigns as Imperial victories even before the first shots are fired, should so much as a single Custodian be reported active in that war zone. Needless to say, more than one star system is lost to subsequent disaster despite the Custodians' endeavours.

The histories of Old Night tell us to fear Men of Stone and Men of Iron. They should have warned us too, of the most terrible monsters of all: the Emperor's Men of Gold." The release was somewhat delayed, as it had been scheduled to drop alongside the new Genestealer Cults codex in 2021, at the same time as the Shadow Throne battle box(which pitted those two factionsagainst one another). Clad in baroque, golden Custodian Armour and armed with priceless relic weaponry, the Adeptus Custodes make for a magnificent sight. They tower over mortals; each has the statuesque physique of an ancient hero, close to nine Terran feet in height even without his scarlet-crested helm. Yet for all their might, for all their bravery, the Custodians were unable to prevent the Emperor from falling to His traitorous son, the Primarch Horus. Gatekeeper- A souped up Guardian Spear with +1 Shot, Str and AP to its Ranged profile, which always hits to boot. Otherwise the same in combat. Not bad, not great, probably pass.

With gilded blade and thundering Bolter did the Ten Thousand march out to meet WAAAGH! Deffbringa. Before the gates of the Petitioner's Fortress upon sainted Argentum, no less than eight Shield Hosts marched as one. Like the Emperor's own blade they thrust deep into the Ork horde, and with a single, unstoppable blow they pierced its heart. The siege and the Heresy ended in the same moment, with the slaying of Horus, and the mortal wounding and ruination of the Emperor. His life was extended beyond all natural measure through use of the Golden Throne, and, ever since, the Adeptus Custodes have stood watch over him, deciding who enters the holy throne room, and turning away those they deem unworthy. Behemor gives you Str+2 AP-4 D2, with 4s to Hit MONSTERS and VEHICLES automatically wounding, making them decent at carving up big things as well as good all rounder profile, just watch out for -1 Dmg. Adeptus Custodes’ Venerable Contemptor Dreadnoughts contain some of the finest warriors that the Imperium has ever witnessed. Pass on their centuries of experience to other units in your army with this Stratagem. The Legio Custodes are by many accounts the Emperor's true firstborn, prefiguring even the gene-crafted Thunder Warriors of the Unification Wars. They are His first genetically-engineered, psycho-indoctrinated warriors, perfected weapons crafted by the Emperor's genius from the dread lore of the Dark Age of Technology.

One of the absolute pleasures of playing Warhammer 40k is the models. Simply owning these creations, getting to build them and then lovingly daub them in your chosen colour scheme, is a joy. No matter your skill at any of the above, these models are created with such care, with so many intricate details, that you’re sure to find some pleasure in even the simple act of owning them. Deep Strike’ essentially means the unit can be placed into Reinforcements and arrive more than 9” away from enemy units.Tanglefoot Grenade- At the start of either the opponent’s Movement or Charge Phase, a non- FLY unit within 12” of a CUSTODES INFANTRY unit reduces how far they can move that Phase by D6”, to a minimum of 0”. A powerful debuff to stop units from getting onto Objectives, into range or line of sight, as well as having the potential to significantly blunt charges. Can only be used once a turn, so no “double dipping” to reduce both Movement and Charges, but either one can be a significant swing in the flow of an opponent’s gameplan, and at 1CP is an affordable ability to have access to with relative ease. The Custodian Guard, as they were also known, became the Emperor’s personal bodyguard (for they were few in number, and their skill in warfare unmatched) but Custodians could also occasionally be spared to lead particularly important missions, or as envoys. War of the Beast (544-546.M32) - Still recovering from the events of the Horus Heresy, the Imperium is again beset. This time it is the Ork menace of a powerful Warlord, known only as The Beast, that almost overruns Mankind, bringing their war all the way to the gates of Terra itself. Bound by oath and duty, the Custodians take little part in the sprawling conflict, save to strike down a force of Aeldari who attempt to cut a path to the Emperor's throne room during the chaos and confusion.
