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.
This boxed set builds 11 multipart plastic Adeptus Custodes miniatures:
– 1 Shield-Captain
– 6 Sentinel Guard Sodality miniatures
– 3 Venatari with Kinetic Destroyers (can alternatively be built as Venatari with Verutum Lances)
– 1 Contemptor‑Achillus Dreadnought (can alternatively be built as a Contemptor-Galatus Dreadnought)
The miniatures in this box are easy to customise. The Shield-Captain offers a choice of a tall helmet or bare head.
The Sentinel Guard Sodality are armed with Praesidium Shields and Sentinel Blades. One can exchange their Praesidium Shield for a Magisterium Vexilla, wielding either their Sentinel Blade or Misericordia in their left hand. The kit also includes 13 interchangeable heads – 6 helmeted and 7 bare – 6 plumes that are interchangeable across the helmets, and 6 interchangeable shields.
The Venatari with Kinetic Destroyers are equipped with either Tarsus Bucklers and Kinetic Destroyers, or two-handed Verutum Lances. They can each take an optional Neutronium Cascade Mine on their hip, and 1 Venatari can be assembled carrying one of these baleful devices in their hand. There are also several interchangeable parts, including 5 heads, 3 tarsus bucklers, 4 jump harnesses, 6 left shoulder pads, and 6 right shoulder pads.
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 2 Lastrum Storm Bolters, Twin Infernus Incinerators, or Adrathic Combi-destructors on each arm, and has the option of a closed or open left hand. There are also lots of cosmetic options, including 2 helmet facemasks, 2 helmet tops, 2 sculpted shoulder pad decorations, 2 chest decorations, and optional pteruges.
