So we've had rules for the Legions, the Primarchs, and the Mechanicum. It was only a matter of time until the Emprah's BFFs got rules, and here they are.

Why play Adeptus Custodes

There are a number of reasons for playing the Golden Bananas

  • Because you like gold
  • Because you like Eagles
  • Because you like Eagles made out of gold
  • Because the Emperor was right all along
  • Because Erebus can fuck a cactus
  • Because you want to take Phoenix Terminators with a half-Primarch statline as troops
  • Universal 2+ saves and 5+ invuns minimum
  • You want to model Pillerstodes
  • Because one day you might be able to take the EMPRAH as a LoW
  • Because you want a three man(?) squad that can take out a dozen space marines

Special Rules

  • Preternatural Skill: If the majority of enemy models in your have equal or less Weapon Skill compared to yours, you get +1I. Considering theres no such thing as a WS6 squad you might as well assume you're always I5
  • The Sodality: A Custodians unit coherency range is 3" and they always use their usual LD for regrouping. Representing how Custards fight as individuals rather than a squad.
  • Inviolable Psyche: Forgeworld dancing around ATSKNF again, you are immune to fear, and re-roll DtW.
  • Bulky: Not a rule specific to the Custodes, but they all have it.

Special Equipment

  • Custodian Armour: Artificer Armour, Refactor Fields, and move through cover rolled into one pimping suit.
  • Guardian Spear: AP2 +1S on the charge, and reverts to a power sword after, every time you roll a 6 to hit with it, you get another attack. In addition, it's a got an Assault 2 Ap4 bolter hidden inside.
  • Preasidium Shield: Provides a 4++, which is re-rollable in CC.
  • Sentinel Warblade: A specialist power sword with rending. In addition, it's a got an Assault 2 12" range bolter hidden inside.
