Check out all the new Codex: Adeptus Custodes reveals for points costs and gear load outs that were just spotted inside the new book!

It has been a week rich with information concerning the upcoming Codex: Adeptus Custodes. First off we had Games Workshop’s Twitch preview Thursday with tons of rules previews and more. And now thanks to winters SEO’s review, we now have more information regarding the points costs and gear load outs for the Adeptus Custodes. This is an expensive force and will be best suited as an allied force. If you do decide to try and take a battalion detachment, you will be able to field at least 27-28 models for 2,000 points with the cheapest load out possible.

This article includes all the new and updated information we have gathered from Winters’ review. Our previews coverage is below in case you missed them:
