Resplendent in gleaming gold, the Adeptus Custodes stride into war with the confidence earned through ten millennia of martial superiority. Bullets and shrapnel ricochet from gilded auramite breastplates – these warriors are armoured with the finest wargear, carrying the blessing of the God-Emperor Himself. When combined with the peerless anti-psychic protection provided by the Sisters of Silence, there are few in the galaxy who can withstand them.
A Vexilius Praetor heralds the arrival of the Emperor's wrath and calls his comrades, led by a Shield Captain, to feats of glory. Custodian Guard charge down the foe with spear and sword, while Vertus Praetors – magnificent warriors mounted upon ancient Dawneagle jetbikes – streak across the battlefield. And all the while, fighting in eerie quiet, the Sisters of Silence hold at bay the sorcerous powers of the warp.
