The Adeptus Custodes are an ideal choice for collectors who appreciate an elite army with a low model count. Unlike many other factions, Custodes don’t rely on hordes of soldiers; instead, a small but highly specialized force packs immense power, making them perfect for hobbyists who prefer to lavish attention on a few stunning models rather than paint dozens of troops. The miniatures themselves are breath-taking, adorned with intricate golden armor, regal poses, and deadly weapons that make each Custodian a work of art as well as a formidable presence on the battlefield. In gameplay, they stand out for their resilience and versatility; Custodes units are durable, hard-hitting, and exceptional in close combat, making them effective in both offensive and defensive roles. Beyond gameplay, collecting Custodes feels like taking part in Warhammer 40k’s most prestigious lore, owning a piece of the Emperor’s own guard—an army steeped in reverence and legend, with a uniquely awe-inspiring role in the Warhammer universe.
