Combat Patrol: Adeptus Custodes (10/17/26)

The Adeptus Custodes are formed into shield companies, and these forces are built around resilient and frighteningly lethal infantry. Though few, each warrior is the match of many times their number. They are supported by specialist units such as the rapid-response Venatari and heavy walkers, including rare and powerful Contemptor-Achillus Dreadnoughts. Such a host can take and hold key objectives regardless of the foes that dare to cross blades with them.

Muster Your Shield Company

If you want to take the fight to the enemies of the Emperor, this box is the perfect way to start a new Adeptus Custodes collection – or expand an existing army – and save money compared to buying the kits individually. Led by an illustrious Shield-Captain, with a Sentinel Guard Sodality at their side, your infantry core is composed of elite, flexible, hard-to-kill units that are a threat both at range and in melee. Highly mobile winged Venatari add speed and disruption tactics to your arsenal, while a Contemptor-Achillus Dreadnought provides heavy fire support. When taken together, they form a complete army for use in tight, tactical Combat Patrol games of Warhammer 40,000.

This boxed set builds 11 multipart plastic Adeptus Custodes miniatures:
– 1 Shield-Captain
– 6 Sentinel Guard Sodality miniatures
– 3 Venatari with Kinetic Destroyers (can alternatively be built as Venatari with Verutum Lances)
– 1 Contemptor‑Achillus Dreadnought (can alternatively be built as a Contemptor-Galatus Dreadnought)

The miniatures in this box are easy to customise. The Shield-Captain offers a choice of a tall helmet or bare head.

The Sentinel Guard Sodality are armed with Praesidium Shields and Sentinel Blades. One can exchange their Praesidium Shield for a Magisterium Vexilla, wielding either their Sentinel Blade or Misericordia in their left hand. The kit also includes 13 interchangeable heads – 6 helmeted and 7 bare – 6 plumes that are interchangeable across the helmets, and 6 interchangeable shields.

The Venatari with Kinetic Destroyers are equipped with either Tarsus Bucklers and Kinetic Destroyers, or two-handed Verutum Lances. They can each take an optional Neutronium Cascade Mine on their hip, and 1 Venatari can be assembled carrying one of these baleful devices in their hand. There are also several interchangeable parts, including 5 heads, 3 tarsus bucklers, 4 jump harnesses, 6 left shoulder pads, and 6 right shoulder pads.

The Contemptor-Achillus Dreadnought is highly customisable and can be built in one of 2 configurations – the spear-carrying Achillus or the Galatus, equipped with a Warblade and Praesidium Shield. Both patterns are highly poseable. The Achillus has a choice of 2 spear heads, can be armed with 2 Lastrum Storm Bolters, Twin Infernus Incinerators, or Adrathic Combi-destructors 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.
