For every vile enemy, the Imperium has an appropriately brutal solution. The Astra Militarum is a brute-force hammer, the Adepta Sororitas bring faith and fire to scorch away corruption, while the Space Marines are an elite strike force of armoured super-soldiers.
Yet when the security of the Throneworld hangs in the balance, this duty falls on the shoulders of the Emperor’s personal guard – the Adeptus Custodes. These auramite-clad warriors are also known as the Ten Thousand, and they now have a fearsome new Shield-Captain ready to lead them into battle.
Shield-Captains rank among the greatest warriors in all the known galaxy, equipped with superlative strategic abilities and combat prowess – not to mention an armoury more finely wrought than any other in the Imperium. With an absolute mastery of weapons and will, Shield-Captains are large and very much in charge.
The Custodian Guard and Custodian Wardens boxes both include the option to build one of your precious warriors as a Shield-Captain – but this new plastic miniature presents a striking standalone alternative, featuring a new loadout and a choice of a helmeted or bare head.
