Like Allarus Terminators<\/a>, these veteran warriors are immensely durable and can wipe out units many times their size. Their miniatures are accordingly covered in fine ornamental details, making each Terminator a display-worthy piece that together look awesome arrayed together on the battlefield.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The new Aquilon Terminators can be used in both the Age of Darkness and the 41st Millennium. Their Warhammer: The Horus Heresy rules can be found in the Liber Custodes: The Forces of the Emperor Army Book<\/a> while their Warhammer 40,000 rules will be in the new Codex: Adeptus Custodes. This book follows the pattern of the previous Orks<\/a> and Space Marines Codexes, with the standard softback release packing tons of background lore, hobby guides, and army rules together<\/a> in a decorative slipcase.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This Codex also marks an epochal change for the Adeptus Custodes as a faction, as their datasheets are fundamentally rescaled to reflect the near-mythical demigod heroes we know and love from the lore. Even the most \u2018basic\u2019 Custodian fights at a power level beyond most Space Marine heroes, with points levels and squad sizes adjusted to make them the true most elite army in the game.*<\/p>\n

The new Codex will be accompanied by a Combat Patrol \u2013 the perfect place to enter this new era of Imperial domination, packed with powerful warriors and advanced technology.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

A Shield Captain leads a potent strike force of six Sentinel Guard and three Venatari, backed up by a towering Contemptor-Achillus Dreadnought. If you\u2019re not worried about using this box in games of Combat Patrol, you can also build the three squads in alternate configurations, making this one of the most flexible boxes around.<\/p>\n

Like other new Codexes in the 11th edition, you\u2019ll also be able to pick up a faction Command Pack containing reference cards and useful tokens \u2013 invaluable for keeping your attention on the game while bolt rounds and blades fly.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This new Codex coincides with a range of newer Custodian kits getting their standalone releases, which can all be used in both Warhammer 40,000 AND Warhammer: The Horus Heresy.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The following kits are getting swanky new packaging bearing the logos for both game systems:<\/p>\n

Shield Captain<\/p>\n

Custodian Guard Sodality<\/p>\n

Sentinel Guard Sodality<\/p>\n

Venatari Sodality<\/p>\n

Custodian Dreadnought<\/p>\n

Telemon Heavy Dreadnought<\/p>\n

Gyrfalcon Jetbike Sodality<\/p>\n

Pallas Grav-attack\u00a0<\/p>\n

Caladius Grav-tank<\/p>\n

Caladius Annihilator Grav-tank<\/p>\n

Coronus Grav-carrier<\/p>\n

From a Warhammer 40,000 perspective, this is one of the largest expansions of the Adeptus Custodes range since the faction first launched, and gives budding Captain-Generals a vast well of reinforcements to draw from. We hope you\u2019ve stocked up on Retributor Armour paint<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ll have more from the new Codex, including further details about their enhanced statlines, as we get closer to release. In the meantime, head back to the reveals hub to see what else we\u2019ve shown off today.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Like Allarus Terminators, these veteran warriors are immensely durable and can wipe out units many times their size.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":782271,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[59,86,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-782270","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-technology","tag-gb","tag-technology","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/782270","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=782270"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/782270\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/782271"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=782270"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=782270"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=782270"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
