Among the Warhammer 40kImperium armies of Space Marinesand transhuman warriors, the Adeptus Custodes are the elite of the elite. They stand guard over the Emperor and his Imperium, the last line of defence between civilisation and eternalChaos. However, Custodes are fairly early on the list, all things considered, so even if there are some things you don’t like about the index, you don’t have too long to wait until the codex drops. The Adeptus Custodes are clad in finely wrought golden armour. Each suit is custom made and fitted to its wearer, a work of art in its own right. The name of its owner is inscribed within the interior of the suit. Each suit in inlaid with gem mined from Terra itself and cut by skilled artisans, these will be changed whenever the Custodian switches roles to reflect their new position [44] [46] [45]. Their Power Armour is forged in the secret armouries of the Custodes, somewhere within the labyrinthine halls of the Imperial Archives [47], and is made from Auramite as opposed to Ceramite. The servos and motors of the Custodes armour are nearly completely silent. Custodes power armor also include a built-in grav chute and internal air supply. Each suit's helmet includes an internal vox, an altimeter, ambient neutralisers, and hololithic schematic overlay map. [44] [46] [45] Even more so, you can feel free to challenge any model in melee thanks to his extremely good defensive ability Consummate Swordsman which makes 1-3 hit rolls auto fail! Not to mention if they actually get a hit through, he gets a +1 bonus to his save in melee.

Now while some folks will be upset by the immediate “invalidation” of yet another in print Games Workshop book, it’s worth mentioning that this Codex, in theory, is being released way later than originally intended. So it is “butting up” so to speak against the new twice-yearly GT updates. Death Guard players had to wait months longer than planned, but when the codex did come, it came along with some extra goodies – primarily the long-teased and fundamentally foul Lord of Virulence model, and a Death Guard Combat Patrol starter box – the first of its kind for a Chaos army. Expansions for Warhammer 40,000 provide alternative ways to play the game. Rules in expansions remain valid unless superseded by a newer publication.

More Sisters of Silence: Bluntly, in 9th Edition all the Sisters datasheets were outright bad. They look a bit more like something you’ll actually want now, and can still act as cheap objective holders. 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. Custodians are superhumanly durable even without a shirt on, and adding suits of Allarus Terminator armour makes them truly immovable. Despite the immense weight of their armour, the From Golden Light ability gives them surprising mobility in the midst of battle, and can hurl them across the field onto distant objectives at critical moments. Although even with all this, a Knight-Centura is only a 3 toughness 5 wound model, so she won’t be impossible to kill. Especially since outside of Lookout sir, the Custodes ability does not extend to Sisters as they are not “shield host”. Adeptus Custodes 9th Edition 40k Unit Rules Datasheets

The World Eaterstied off all the Warhammer 40k Chaos factions– and in fact, all the codexes for 9th edition. And as our writer Tim Linward says in his World Eaters Codex review,they might be the very best codex of the edition.Getting into the new Captain Commander rules for the Adeptus Custodes there will be three selections for each HQ type. The Sisters of Silence got three relic options with Enhanced Voidsheen Cloak looking insane! If you combine this with the warlord trait that removes objectives secured from enemies, you can have an extremely hard-to-kill warlord stealing points from opponents. A 4+ invulvn AND -1 to hit and wound on paper is super great! The Solar Fastness: while once the invasion of Terra was unthinkable, since the Great Rift things have changed. This section describes the Adeptus Custodes’ defence of the Sol System Tip of the Spear gives you re-rolls to all your ones in combat and is seriously strong, especially considering you already hit on 2’s. Adeptus Custodes 9th Edition 40k Warlord Traits Rules Warhammer 40,000: Shadow Throne is almost here, and the new Adeptus Custodes and Genestealer Cults codexes will be following in early 2022. Yesterday, we saw the new fighting styles of the Adeptus Custodes, and today we’re taking a look at a new unit that lets you run a full Sisters of Silence army.
