he Adeptus Custodes, epitomizing the pinnacle of martial prowess in the Imperium, execute their battles with precision and finesse. With the release of Codex: Adeptus Custodes, players now have access to new Detachments that offer diverse strategic options for organizing their armies.
One significant addition is the Shield Host Detachment, which undergoes substantial changes from the index version, effectively becoming a new Detachment. This expansion brings the total number of options to four, each offering unique tactical advantages. Whether players seek close combat dominance, synergy between Custodians and Sisters of Silence, focus on anti-psychic warfare, or specialize in hunting down powerful enemy characters, there’s a Detachment to suit every strategy.
For example, the Talons of the Emperor Detachment emphasizes cooperation between Adeptus Custodes and Sisters of Silence. The Revered Companions rule provides buffs to both factions when they fight alongside each other, enhancing their effectiveness on the battlefield. Stratagems within this Detachment encourage teamwork, allowing paired units to coordinate attacks and optimize their synergy.
Enhancements within the Detachment empower the Shield-Captain, offering potent bonuses such as the Gift of Terran Artifice for enhanced Wound rolls or the Radiant Mantle for increased defense at the cost of offensive capabilities.
In an upcoming special pre-order week episode of Battle Report, viewers will witness the Adeptus Custodes and Sisters of Silence facing off against each other in a 2,000-point battle, showcasing the strengths of these cohabiting armies. Stay updated on Warhammer Community for the airing schedule of this exciting showdown and remember to pre-order the upcoming battleforce boxes for both Adeptus Custodes and Orks to bolster your forces.
