- Warhammer 40,000: Tacticus introduces its newest faction: the Adeptus Custodes
- The Adeptus Custodes serve as the Emperor’s elite personal bodyguard
- Led by Shield-Captain Trajann Valoris, they bring unmatched strength to the battlefield
While Warhammer 40,000: Tacticus may not appeal to every player’s taste in gameplay, it undeniably delivers a deeply authentic 40k universe experience—complete with the Imperium factions consistently taking center stage. And in true form, the latest addition is none other than the legendary Adeptus Custodes.
Leaving aside any bias toward the so-called "Golden Boys," there's no denying the Adeptus Custodes elevate the game’s intensity. As the Emperor’s chosen protectors, they stand as the pinnacle of humanoid warriors—towering, hyper-enhanced, and clad in the most advanced armor the Imperium has to offer. Think of them as the Superman of the Warhammer universe, with Space Marines playing the role of Captain America.
Taking command is Shield-Captain Trajann Valoris, who leads the Custodes into battle during an upcoming Legendary event launching this month. Mark your calendars for May 24th, when this Survival Event begins—a grueling, high-stakes challenge designed to push even the mightiest warriors to their limits.
Ooh, shiny
Revealed during the Warhammer Skulls gaming showcase—alongside the announcement of Supremacy: Warhammer 40,000—it’s clear Tacticus aimed for impact with a flagship faction. Unfortunately, fans of smaller factions like the Leagues of Votann will have to wait a bit longer for their spotlight.
But for those who live for the glory of the Golden Legion, the trailer above offers a full look at the Adeptus Custodes in action, showcasing their overwhelming power and tactical dominance. Don’t miss your chance—Trajann Valoris and the full might of the Custodes arrive May 24th.
