The Golden Children of the Emperor are here to take over the Horus Heresy tabletop. It’s the Legio Custodes time to shine.
Games Workshop’s latest pre-orders are golden. Or at least painted that way. It’s the Legio Custodes and their big wave of new releases. If you picked up one of their big boxes a couple weeks ago this wave still has a few miniatures you might have missed. So let’s check out what’s coming from GW.

The stunningly detailed Contemptor Dreadnought can be built in one of 2 configurations – the dreadspear-armed Achillus, or the Galatus, equipped with a warblade and a Gravis praesidium shield. Both patterns are highly poseable. The Achillus has a choice of 2 spear heads, can be armed with a lastrum storm bolter, infernus incinerator, or Adrathic combi-destructor on each arm, and has the option of a closed or open left hand. There are also lots of cosmetic options, including 2 helmet facemasks, 2 helmet tops, 2 sculpted shoulder pad decorations, 2 chest decorations, and optional pteruges, making it easy to customise your devastating walker.
