Journal Tactica: The Battle for The Signus Cluster – Assault on Kol
The radiation-blasted world of Kol in the Signus Cluster played host to some of the most secretive battles of the Horus Heresy. Here the Legio Custodes would take the fight to Traitors, rebellious members of the Solar Auxilia, and even the accursed daemonic spawn of the entity known as Slaanesh.

Coronus Grav-carrier
The Coronus Grav-carrier grants the Custodes a degree of speed and agility unmatched by the grinding armour of the Imperium’s other forces – allowing them to deploy, redeploy, and evade without risk of being pinned down by enemy troops or hazardous terrain.
Advanced Protection and Fire Support
This multipart plastic kit builds one Coronus Grav-carrier for your Legio Custodes armies in games of Warhammer: The Horus Heresy, and for Adeptus Custodes armies in Warhammer 40,000. Capable of quickly ushering your elite warriors safely to the front line through heavy firepower, it’s a crucial asset for any rapid assault force. Its primary weapon is a turret-mounted Twin Arachnus Blaze Cannon, allowing it to provide fire support to its passengers after they’ve disembarked. It also has a choice of hull-mounted weapon – either an infantry-slaying Twin Lastrum Bolt Cannon or horde-clearing Twin Neutronium Cascade Projectors. Combined with fast antigrav technology and its well-armoured chassis, this tank can turn the tide of battle in your favour.
Caladius Annihilator Grav-Tank
The Caladius Annihilator Grav-tank provides a mobile, protected platform upon which to mount one of the heaviest elements of the Custodes’ arsenal – an Arachnus Blaze Carronade. With this fusion of advanced systems and weapons, the Caladius Annihilator is perhaps the most powerful battleline armoured unit of its size in the Imperium’s forces.
Annihilate Heavy Infantry
This multipart plastic kit builds one Caladius Annihilator Grav-tank, a swift, powerful tank for Legio Custodes armies in games of Warhammer: The Horus Heresy, and Adeptus Custodes armies in Warhammer 40,000. Equipped with a turret-mounted Arachnus Blaze Carronade, it can shred even power-armoured infantry in an instant, making for a potent addition to your heavy arsenal. Combined with a fast and well-armoured chassis, this tank can turn the tide of battle in your favour. Its choice of hull-mounted weapon – either an infantry-slaying Twin Lastrum Bolt Cannon, or a horde-clearing Twin Neutronium Cascade Projector – will have you blasting through your enemies’ lines and on to victory.
Caladius Grav-Tank
The Caladius Grav-tank provides the Custodes with a mobile, protected platform upon which to mount one of the heaviest elements of their arsenal – an Iliastus Accelerator Cannon. With this fusion of advanced systems and weapons, the Caladius is perhaps the most powerful armoured unit of its size in the Imperium’s forces.
Punish the Enemies of the Imperium
This multipart plastic kit builds one Caladius Grav-tank for Legio Custodes armies in games of Warhammer: The Horus Heresy, and Adeptus Custodes armies in Warhammer 40,000. Equipped with a turret-mounted Iliastus Accelerator Cannon, it can punch holes in enemy transports and lighter tanks, while leaving power-armoured foes as little more than red smears on the battlefield. It also has a choice of hull-mounted weapon – either an infantry-slaying Twin Lastrum Bolt Cannon, or horde-clearing Twin Neutronium Cascade Projectors. Combined with fast antigrav technology and its well-armoured chassis, this tank can turn the tide of battle in your favour.
Pallas Grav-Attack
Designed as a high-manoeuvrability hunter-killer, the Pallas Grav-attack is a rapid strike vehicle utilising advanced repulsor-lift technology. It fulfils a similar battlefield role to the Land Speeders of the Space Marines but with superior agility, improved armour, and inbuilt shielding technology.
Deliver Swift Death
This multipart plastic kit builds one Pallas Grav-attack for your Legio Custodes armies in games of Warhammer: The Horus Heresy and for Adeptus Custodes armies in Warhammer 40,000. In battle, this sleek tank zooms into the best firing positions so it can inflict devastating hit-and-run assaults on the enemy. It boasts powerful weaponry in the form of a hull-mounted Twin Arachnus Blaze Cannon, or a Twin Iliastus Accelerator Fusil – expertly engineered weapons that can successfully eliminate both infantry and armoured targets alike.
Telemon Heavy Dreadnought
Telemon Dreadnoughts are each intended to stand sentinel over their charges, no matter the forces brought against them. With fewer than a handful of Telemon Dreadnoughts remaining, the honour of interment in one of the few existing Telemon sarcophagi is awarded to only the most celebrated warriors. Rare is the foe who can stand against the array of esoteric, handcrafted weapons that grace its chassis or the ferocious will and warrior skill of the master Custodian interred within.
Guardian Eternal
This multipart plastic kit builds 1 Telemon Heavy Dreadnought for Legio Custodes armies in games of Warhammer: The Horus Heresy and Adeptus Custodes armies in Warhammer 40,000. Boasting masterwork levels of protective technology, paired with superior Custodes weaponry, the Telemon is a truly terrifying adversary on the battlefield, blasting foes apart from afar and crushing them up close in melee.
Towering Dominance
This massive war-machine is equipped with a shoulder-mounted Spiculus Bolt Launcher and Dual Caestus Fists with Twin Neutronium Cascade Projectors, one of which can be replaced with a flexible Iliastus Accelerator Culverin, a high-damage Adrathic Desolator, or an armour-ruining Arachnus Storm Cannon.
The Telemon Dreadnought is highly customisable, as its legs can be posed in different positions, along with the elbows and fingers of each Caestus Fist. You can also choose from one of 2 waist armour designs, 2 helmet bases, and 3 helmet crowns.
Custodian Dreadnought
The Dreadnoughts of the Custodes are advanced, beautiful machines that wed phenomenal strength and speed with the interred warrior’s own unmatched martial skill. In those isolated cases where a Custodian has sustained irrevocable harm with their mind intact, internment within the cold and unyielding body of a Dreadnought is assured, for no Custodian would tolerate an end to their service short of death.
A Gleaming God of War
This multipart plastic kit builds one Custodian Dreadnought, a mighty war machine for your Legio Custodes armies in games of Warhammer: The Horus Heresy, and for Adeptus Custodes armies in Warhammer 40,000. They excel in melee, where the machine’s power combines with the interned Custodian’s martial abilities to create an almost unstoppable team. On the front lines and in the thick of the fighting, these gleaming walkers give Custodes armies some serious punching power.
Customise Your Dreadnought
The Contemptor-Achillus Dreadnought is highly customisable and can be built in one of 2 configurations – the spear-carrying Achillus, or the Galatus, equipped with a warblade and praesidium shield. Both patterns are highly poseable. The Achillus has a choice of 2 spear heads, can be armed with a lastrum storm bolter, twin infernus incinerator, or Adrathic combi-destructor on each arm, and has the option of a closed or open left hand.
There are also lots of cosmetic options, including interchangeable helmet sections, 2 sculpted shoulder pad decorations, 2 chest decorations, and optional pteruges, making it easy to customise your devastating walker.
Gyrfalcon Jetbike Sodality
The heavy duty, plasma motor-boosted Gyrfalcon-pattern jetbike is favoured by the Custodes due to the design’s increased power, which can support both a heavily armoured Custodian pilot and one among a slew of potent on-board armaments.
Harass, Swoop, and Strike
This multipart plastic kit builds 2 Gyrfalcon Jetbikes for Legio Custodes armies in games of Warhammer: The Horus Heresy and Adeptus Custodes armies in Warhammer 40,000. Gyrfalcon Jetbike Sodalities operate as rapid response and suppression units, screening their allies from potential encirclement, reacting quickly to blunt enemy attacks and mercilessly hunting down any foe attempting to flee before the might of the main Custodian force, ensuring the enemy’s utter extermination.
Corral Foes Unto Death
The Gyrfalcon Jetbikes can each be armed with your choice of Adrathic Devastator, Arachnus Volley Cannon, Twin Corvae Las-Pulser, or Lastrum Bolt Cannon.
The riders can be built with their Solarite Power Lance mounted to the jetbike, or held in their hand in one of 3 positions. There are also 6 helmet plumes in 3 designs to choose from.
Aquilon Terminator Sodality
Advancing further upon the Cataphractii Terminator armour pattern, Aquilon plate is designed around the Custodes’ enhanced physiques and fitted with additional integrated power systems and capacitors. Aquilon Terminator Sodalities are employed only as absolute need dictates. Often when fighting in close-quarters and ‘Zone Mortalis’ environs, the Custodes rely on the superior resilience of Aquilon Terminator armour to provide a reliable platform of mobile heavy firepower.
The Emperor’s Finest
This multipart plastic kit builds 6 Aquilon Terminators for Legio Custodes armies in games of Warhammer: The Horus Heresy and Adeptus Custodes armies in Warhammer 40,000. These resplendent golden warriors use their armour’s superior defensive capabilities and deadly advanced weaponry to shrug off the most savage assaults and stand firm while defying the foes of the Imperium.
Reap a Terrible Tally
Each Aquilon Terminator is equipped with 1 Infernus Firepike, 1 Solarite Power Gauntlet, and 1 Misericordia. The kit includes parts to equip every miniature with either Adrathic Combi‑destructors or Lastrum Storm Bolters in place of their Infernus Firepikes, and wielding Solarite Power Talons rather than their Solarite Power Gauntlets.
Venatari Sodality
The role of Custodian Venatari is a high honour among their Legio and is reserved for those who have proven themselves successful in the Blood Games. Their domain resides among the rooftops and spires of the Imperial Palace and in the skies above any Custodian assault, overseeing and assessing potential threats below before swooping into a killing dive.
Strike From the Skies
This multipart plastic kit builds 6 Venatari, elite airborne infantry for your Legio Custodes armies in games of Warhammer: The Horus Heresy. For Warhammer 40,000, these miniatures can be built as either a Venatari Sodality with Kinetic Destroyers or a Venatari Sodality with Verutum Lances for use in Adeptus Custodes armies. Held aloft on their Custodian jump harnesses, they fly over the battlefield, hunting their targets. Armed with advanced archaeotech weapons, these swift killers excel at using their speed to take out isolated enemy targets.
Hunt in Style
Each member of the unit can be equipped with either a Tarsus Buckler and brutal Kinetic Destroyer to slay the Emperor’s enemies from afar, or a Verutum Lance to strike down foes in close combat. They can each take an optional Neutronium Cascade Mine to destroy vehicles at the molecular level, and 2 Ventari can be assembled carrying these baleful devices in their hands. There are also several interchangeable parts, which make it easy to customise your swooping predators.
Sentinel Guard Sodality
Sentinel Guard Sodalities are deployed to protect emissaries on hazardous ground and hold defensive positions against the most grievous onslaught. They are outfitted with energy field-reinforced Praesidium Shields – a precursor to the storm shields of the Space Marines – capable of resisting the heaviest weapons fire. In spite of this protective role, the physical prowess of each Custodian, and the peerless wargear with which they are outfitted, affords the Sentinel Guard the mobility to perform far more aggressive functions in open battle, where their resilience makes them formidable linebreakers.
Peerless in Defence
This multipart plastic kit builds 6 Sentinel Guards for Legio Custodes armies in games of Warhammer: The Horus Heresy, or for Adeptus Custodes armies in Warhammer 40,000. Armed with Sentinel Blades, Misericordia, and Praesidium Shields, they are well protected without sacrificing offensive capabilities. No traitor can withstand a dedicated assault from these superlative warriors as they wade through waves of small-arms fire before lashing out with their own bolts and blades.
In Auramite Clad
Each Sentinel Guard is lavished in details, including sculpted iconography and filigree, giving them the ornate appearance you’d expect from the Emperor’s bodyguards. One miniature can be built as an optional Sentinel Vexillarius, exchanging their Praesidium Shield for a Magisterium Vexilla. They can also be assembled with either their Sentinel Blade or Misericordia in their left hand.
Custodian Guard Sodality
The Custodian Guard are terrifyingly potent fighters – stronger, faster, and more resilient than even Space Marines. Clad in uniquely alloyed armour and armed with lethal Guardian Spears, they are both living symbols of the Emperor’s authority and unrivalled warriors.
Guardians of the Golden Throne
This multipart plastic kit builds 6 Custodian Guards for Legio Custodes armies in games of Warhammer: The Horus Heresy and Adeptus Custodes armies in Warhammer 40,000. Armed with iconic Guardian Spears, they can unleash a barrage of bolts before expertly delivering the coup de grâce. Fast and deadly, they excel at marching across the battlefield to claim crucial objectives from any foes foolish enough to stand in their way.
In Auramite Clad
Each Custodian Guard is lavished in details, including sculpted iconography and filigree, giving them the ornate appearance you’d expect from the Emperor’s bodyguards. One of the Custodian Guards can optionally replace their Guardian Spear with a Vexilla. The kit also includes 23 interchangeable heads – 12 helmeted and 11 bare – and 6 plumes that are interchangeable across the helmets, making it easy to customise your legendary warriors.
Shield Captain
Shield Captains are warriors of consummate and superhuman ability, rare insight, acumen, and knowledge. Afforded the finest of the Imperium’s arms, these legendary fighters command their forces against all manner of threats. They bear the legendary might and power of the Custodes – manifested in a single indomitable warrior.
An Exemplar of Terra’s Might
This multipart plastic kit builds one Shield Captain, an exemplary warrior and strategist for your Legio Custodes armies in games of Warhammer: The Horus Heresy, and for Adeptus Custodes forces in games of Warhammer 40,000. They are clad in the finest armour and lavished in details, including magnificently sculpted iconography and filigree, giving an ornate appearance. This resplendent leader is equipped with a Praesidium Shield and an Eternity Blade – both a mark of office and a deadly weapon. The miniature comes with a choice of 2 heads, 1 helmeted and 1 bare, so you can customise your Shield Captain.
In games of Warhammer: The Horus Heresy, this miniature can be used to represent a Tribune – a mighty leader held in immense esteem by their fellow Custodians.
Codex: Adeptus Custodes
The Adeptus Custodes shine with the last gleaming of the Emperor’s radiance. Clad in auramite, they were fashioned by the Master of Mankind as his advisors, emissaries, guardians, and champions. Now, they are an order in mourning, their tireless vigil a penance for allowing Him to fall to the arch traitor. The most important duty of the Custodes is to shield the Emperor on the Golden Throne, but in the desperate state of the galaxy, they travel the stars to smite any who would welcome the death of Humanity.
Codex: Adeptus Custodes is an essential supplement for anyone who wants to collect and play games of Warhammer 40,000 with the Ten Thousand. It’s packed with majestic background material, photography of glorious armies, guidelines for growing and painting your collection, and the rules you’ll need to execute the Emperor’s will across the galaxy.
Combat Patrol: Adeptus Custodes
The Adeptus Custodes are formed into shield companies, and these forces are built around resilient and frighteningly lethal infantry. Though few, each warrior is the match of many times their number. They are supported by specialist units such as the rapid-response Venatari and heavy walkers, including rare and powerful Contemptor-Achillus Dreadnoughts. Such a host can take and hold key objectives regardless of the foes that dare to cross blades with them.
Muster Your Shield Company
If you want to take the fight to the enemies of the Emperor, this box is the perfect way to start a new Adeptus Custodes collection – or expand an existing army – and save money compared to buying the kits individually. Led by an illustrious Shield-Captain, with a Sentinel Guard Sodality at their side, your infantry core is composed of elite, flexible, hard-to-kill units that are a threat both at range and in melee. Highly mobile winged Venatari add speed and disruption tactics to your arsenal, while a Contemptor-Achillus Dreadnought provides heavy fire support. When taken together, they form a complete army for use in tight, tactical Combat Patrol games of Warhammer 40,000.
Command Pack: Adeptus Custodes
