The first new Legio Custodes kits from the Battle Group box are now coming separately, and that they are joined by major reinforcements such as Venatari and more grav-vehicles.
The Shield Captain kit can represent either a Shield Captain or Tribune, which is a smart choice because Custodes characters always feel more impressive when they can pull double duty.
Meanwhile, the Custodian Guard Sodality and Sentinel Guard Sodality give the army its expected core of spear-armed line breakers and shielded defensive elites, with plenty of head and shield options for customization.
However, the real eye-catchers are the winged Venatari, who can be built for ranged combat with kinetic destroyers and tarsus bucklers or for melee with verutum lances, and they also get the new neutronium cascade mine for anti-vehicle devastation. The heavier support is just as strong.
The Custodian Dreadnought builds either the Contemptor-Achillus or Contemptor-Galatus, while the Coronus Grav-carrier transports a full six-person Sodality plus an attached officer and still brings serious guns.
Then the Caladius Grav-tank and Caladius Annihilator round the release out with anti-infantry and anti-armour firepower respectively, giving the army the sleek hover-tank punch Custodes really need.
