New Forge World Legio Custodes miniatures have been revealed. Come take a look at these hot new minis and Armored Assault Force!
LEGIO CUSTODES CORONUS GRAV-CARRIER £110
Description
Armed with twin-linked Lastrum bolt cannon and Arachnus blaze cannon, the Coronus Grav-carrier is perhaps one of the most recognised vehicles used exclusively by the Legio Custodes. This heavily protected transport skimmer provides them with a degree of speed and agility unmatched by the grinding armour of others who fight in the name of the Emperor, allowing the Legio Custodes to deploy rapidly into a range of terrain whilst reducing the risk of being pinned down by enemy forces.
Principally used as a transport, the strikingly-designed Legio Custodes Coronus Grav-carrier served as the technological basis for the Pallas and Caladius grav-craft. While its primary function is transporting a unit of warriors into battle, its armaments – hull-mounted Lastrum bolt cannon and turret-mounted Arachnus blaze cannon – ensure that it is more than capable of mounting appropriately aggressive defenses.
Rules for using a Coronus Grav-carrier as part of a Legio Custodes army in Horus Heresy games can be found in the forthcoming book, The Horus Heresy Book Seven – Inferno.
The Legio Custodes Coronus Grav-carrier is a complete, multi-part resin kit in 45 components, supplied with a 170mm oval base.
LEGIO CUSTODES CORONUS GRAV-CARRIER & 10 CUSTODIAN GUARD £180
Description
Armed with twin-linked Lastrum bolt cannon and Arachnus blaze cannon, the Coronus Grav-carrier is perhaps one of the most recognised vehicles used exclusively by the Legio Custodes, bodyguards and sword protectors of the Emperor, whose might is surpassed only by the Primarchs.
This heavily protected transport skimmer provides them with a degree of speed and agility unmatched by the grinding armour of others who fight in the name of the Emperor, allowing the Legio Custodes to deploy rapidly into a range of terrain whilst reducing the risk of being pinned down by enemy forces.
This set includes a resin Legio Custodes Caladius Grav-carrier – a powerful, heavily-armoured transport designed to get troops into the thick of battle as quickly and efficiently as possible – and a unit of ten multi-part plastic Legio Custodes which can built as Custodian Guard or Sentinel Guard. The Legio Custodes Squad includes several wargear and weapon options; 10 guardian spears; 10 sentinel blades; 10 storm shields; 12 ceremonial daggers; 2 Custodes vexilla; as well as 10 helmeted and 4 bare heads.
LEGIO CUSTODES ARMOURED ASSAULT FORCE £300
Description
More powerful warriors than even the Space Marines of the Legiones Astartes, and second only to the Primarchs themselves, the Legio Custodes are the bodyguards and sworn protectors of the Emperor.
