THE SHORT VERSION

Matthew Hutson’s Custodes face Michael Wieske’s Nihilakh Necrons in Ascension, where characters can build an increasing score by holding central objectives. An early loss of the C’tan and a decisive assault on a Monolith leave the Necrons struggling to break the golden defenders; concentrated attacks prevent resurrection and the Custodes finish with a clear victory.

The Golden Legion

The Custodes range gains a dedicated codex and several new ways to build a compact army. Trajann Valoris, jetbike-mounted Vertus Praetors, Allarus Terminators and stoic Wardens broaden the existing Guard kit, with annotated model previews explaining their equipment, command options and visual differences.

Munitorum Report: Adeptus Custodes

The quick tactical portrait contrasts exceptional durability and damaging melee weapons with an army’s very low model count. It also flags the absence of dedicated aircraft, encouraging players to consider how mobility and the jetbikes’ weapon options might address opponents the infantry cannot easily reach.

The Sons of Magnus

The Thousand Sons codex is introduced as both a history of the Legion and an expanded collection of battlefield tools. Three psychic disciplines sit beside familiar Rubric warriors, while Enlightened, Shamans and the Mutalith Vortex Beast bring more of the Planet of the Sorcerers into the army.
