The
warriors of the Adeptus Custodes disregard the idea of blind obedience, and
look with disdain upon those who follow the orders of their superiors without
question. Every Custodian has a voice, and is expected to use it; as such, the
Ten Thousand respect only those who have proved themselves worthy, whose
judgment, strategic skill and strength of mind have been shown again and again.
Such Custodians are called Shield-Captains, and their fellows follow them with
loyalty and dedication.
Squads of Vertus Praetors swoop into battle astride powerful Dawneagle jetbikes. Veteran warriors who have seen conflict on a hundred worlds, these Custodians know the true value of speed: not simply to bring the enemy to bear, but to direct their might precisely where and when it is needed most. Wherever they see their comrades hardest pressed, there the Vertus Praetors strike like golden lightning to bolster them. They scream across the battlefield, rapidly outflanking and encircling the heaviest enemy vehicles – even enemy aircraft are not safe, for by combining their fire Vertus Praetors are able to weave airborne webs of flakk into which hurtling enemy craft slam with terminal results.
This
multi-part plastic kit contains the components necessary to assemble a squad of
3 Vertus Praetors, 1 of which can be assembled as the Shield-Captain. Astride
their Dawneagle jetbikes, they wear somewhat less bulky armour than the other
Adeptus Custodes warriors, in order to maintain lightness – while they are
still protected by auramite chest plates, shoulder pads and helmets, they wear
woven trousers, boots and robes. The armour that they do wear is covered in
finely sculpted sigils of the Emperor, with Imperial eagles, lightning bolts,
gemstones and filigree adorning every surface, with the jetbikes they pilot
featuring similar details on the aggressively-shaped cowling. The Praetors
carry interceptor lances and misericordia, while the Dawneagle jetbikes are
armed with a choice of hurricane bolters or salvo launcher – whichever you
choose, they’re visible at the front of the vehicle, with the engine and weapon
feeds visible in gaps in the cowling. The controls feature a large screen, with
plenty of dials and buttons. The Shield-Captain is distinguished by his bare
head.
This kit
comes as 111 components, and is supplied with 3 Citadel 75mm Oval stands, with
flying stems.
