Talons of the Emperor $160
Description
The storm continues to gather with dreadful pace. A rising tide of Chaos darkens the door of the Imperium, threatening to consume the entire galaxy. In this time of desperation, the High Lords of Terra see fit to unleash their most potent weapons against the encroaching darkness – the Adeptus Custodes, superhuman champions of the Imperium descended from the Emperor himself; and the Sisters of Silence, psychic nulls whose mere presence is like a gaping void of nothingness driving back the Daemonic fiends.
Talons of the Emperor is a box containing a collection of Adeptus Custodes and Sisters of Silence miniatures, along with 2 24-page softback Codexes featuring rules for fielding them in games of Warhammer 40,000.

Custodian Guard Squad $120
Description
Bright and resplendent in gleaming gold, the Adeptus Custodes stride into war with the confidence their imposing stature gives them. Bullets and shrapnel ricochet from gilded breastplates – these warriors are armoured with the finest wargear, carrying the blessing of the Emperor himself. With their guardian spears they spin, parry and thrust, their immense strength cutting down the enemy as the built-in bolters deal death from afar. The Adeptus Custodes’ minds carry judgment – and their fists carry death.
This multi-part plastic kit contains the components necessary to assemble a set of 10 Adeptus Custodes Custodian Guard, armed with either guardian spears or sentinel blades and storm shields. 2 models can be assembled as shield-captains, featuring a cloak and choice of 2 heads, and 2 can carry a Custodes Vexila.
Supplied with 10 Citadel 40mm Round bases.
Sisters of Silence Squad $80
Description
Well-named, the Sisters of Silence march, quiet as the grave. Only the crack of the holy bolter and the roar of flamers accompany their hunt for those who would bring Chaos to the Imperium. The Sisters of Silence gather to deliver the Emperor’s unspoken wrath, speaking only with deeds, the immunity to psychic assault their Pariah gene afford them making them more than a match for the most powerful sorcerers.
This multi-part plastic kit contains the parts necessary to assemble 10 Sisters of Silence. The kit can be assembled as Vigilators, who specialise in melee and carry executioner greatswords, Prosecutors, who operate more flexibly and carry bolters for longer-range combat and Witchseekers, who carry flamers for devastating multi-target assaults. It includes 12 executioner greatswords, 10 Umbra-pattern boltguns and 10 flamers as well as 4 special heads for a Sister Superior.
Supplied with 10 Citadel 32mm Round bases.
Venerable Land Raider $74.25
Description
The Land Raider is considered the finest land-borne transport in the Adeptus Terra, and those of the Custodian Guard are the most venerated of all. The tank’s adamantium hide, massively thick and layered with ceramite reinforcement, has such incredible resilience that it can drive through a barrage of artillery fire without slowing. When the metal-toothed jaws at the front yawn wide, the Custodian Guard within charge out to smash the enemy lines into disarray.
The Venerable Land Raider is armed with twin-linked lascannon sponsons, which can be modelled to the front or rear of the vehicle, and features a twin-linked heavy bolter. All of these weapons can be either glued into place or slotted in enabling them to be rotated towards their intended targets during your games.
The front of the Land Raider features an assault ramp which can be glued shut or modelled to open and close. If left unglued it reveals the internal detail of the Land Raider featuring deck plating and a communications panel featuring all manner of dials, buttons and video screens.
Also included are options to include smoke launchers, a pintle-mounted storm bolter, missile launcher, radar dish and a variety of top hatches that can be modelled as either open or closed, as well as the option to include a Space Marine Techmarine in one of the hatches.
This kit comprises 101 components, and is supplied with an Ultramarines vehicle transfer sheet.
Adeptus Custodes Custodian Guard $60
Description
Bright and resplendent in gleaming gold, the Adeptus Custodes stride into war with the confidence their imposing stature gives them. Bullets and shrapnel ricochet from gilded breastplates – these warriors are armoured with the finest wargear, carrying the blessing of the Emperor himself.
With their guardian spears they spin, parry and thrust, their immense strength cutting down the enemy as the built-in bolters deal death from afar. The Adeptus Custodes’ minds carry judgment – and their fists carry death.

The kit can be used to build 1 of 2 different squads: one armed with guardian spears, the other armed with sentinel blades and storm shields.

Venerable Contemptor Dreadnought $60
Description
The Contemptor Dreadnoughts of the Custodian Guard are revered relics of the Imperium’s golden age. Each houses a fallen hero of the Adeptus Custodes, a warrior broken in body but not in mind who has opted to fight to his last breath. Articulated in the manner of a human warrior, the Contemptor fights with a deceptive dexterity for its size – onward it pushes, its heavy weapon system laying down a swathe of deadly fire. At close quarters, sweeps of its power fist crush infantry to paste and tear their war engines apart to leave naught but wreckage behind.
This multi-part plastic kit contains all the components necessary to assemble a Venerable Contemptor Dreadnought, armed with a choice of multi-melta or assault cannon.
This kit comprises 14 components, and is supplied with a Citadel 60mm Round base and a Horus Heresy transfer sheet.
Null-Maiden Rhino $37.25
Description
Crunching the corpses of the Emperor’s foes under its tracks as it grinds to the front line, the Rhino is far more than a simple personnel carrier. Those vehicles driven to war by the Silent Sisterhood have served faithfully in Terra’s defence for hundreds, if not thousands of years. The machine spirits of these tanks are as dauntless as any in the Imperium’s service, rarely resting in their pursuit of the Sisterhood’s psychic prey.
This boxed set contains 1 multi-part plastic Null-Maiden Rhino. Also included are options to include smoke launchers, a pintle-mounted storm bolter, missile launcher, radar dish and a variety of top hatches that can be modelled as either open or closed, as well as the option to include a Space Marine Techmarine in one of the hatches. The rear door of the vehicle can either be glued shut or left open to show off the interior detail of the kit such as the deck plating and communications display that includes a stowed boltgun.
This kit comprises 67 components, and is supplied with an Ultramarines vehicle transfer sheet.
This kit can also be used as a Space Marines Rhino.
