BROTHERHOOD OF DEMIGODS: This section gives an insight into who the Adeptus Custodes are, how they are created, and the noble yet tragic battles that they have fought for ten thousand years, along with examples of how they are assembled for battle. Within this book you will find all the information you need to collect an Adeptus Custodes army and field it upon the tabletop. Marshal your forces well, for they are few, but know that even a handful of the Emperor’s praetorians can seize victory over an entire army of foes. Every warrior you command is a figure worthy of legend. In collecting an Adeptus Custodes army you will find yourself leading the most elite military branch of the Imperium. But now, with the immaterium spilling through the bounds of reality and war consuming every Imperial world, the Custodians must strike out into the stars to eliminate terrible dangers before they can come anywhere near their throne-bound master. For many thousands of years this has seen them guard the Sol System with ironclad determination, and fight secret wars of which the wider Imperium can never know. Theirs is a singular duty, perhaps the most important in all the galaxy, for it is to the Adeptus Custodes that the safety and sanctity of the Emperor himself is entrusted. They are demigods clad in armour of gleaming auramite, who wield the Imperium’s deadliest and most finely crafted weapons. The Adeptus Custodes are Humanity’s greatest warriors. The content within will help you to assemble your collection of Adeptus Custodes Citadel Miniatures into a redoubtable tabletop army, ready to take the fight to the heretic, traitor and alien alike in the glorious name of the Emperor of Mankind.
