The Warhammer: The Horus Heresy Legio Custodes Custodian Dreadnought represents one of the most awe-inspiring and devastating war machines in the Emperor’s arsenal, housing the interred remains of a fallen Custodian who continues to serve within a heavily armoured, highly advanced combat chassis. Even in internment, these warriors retain their unmatched martial skill, now amplified by the immense strength and resilience of their dreadnought form.

These towering machines are reserved for Custodians who have suffered catastrophic injury but whose minds remain unbroken. Rather than allowing such warriors to fall, they are granted eternal service on the battlefield, encased within a gleaming sarcophagus of gold and adamantium, continuing their duty in the Emperor’s name.

This multipart plastic kit builds one Custodian Dreadnought for use in Legio Custodes armies in Warhammer: The Horus Heresy. Designed for brutal close-quarters combat, the Dreadnought excels on the front lines, where its overwhelming strength and durability allow it to dominate engagements and crush enemy formations. When deployed, it serves as a turning point in battle, capable of breaking even the most hardened opposition.

The kit offers two distinct build configurations, allowing you to assemble either the Achillus or the Galatus pattern. The Achillus variant wields a devastating dreadspear and can be equipped with a range of arm weapons including a lastrum storm bolter, infernus incinerator, or adrathic combi-destructor, along with multiple cosmetic options such as interchangeable helmet components, shoulder decorations, chest pieces, and optional pteruges for added detail. The Galatus configuration is armed with a powerful warblade and a Gravis praesidium shield, offering a more defensive but equally lethal battlefield presence. Both versions are highly poseable for dynamic display and gameplay options.

This set contains 162 plastic components, a Citadel 60mm round base, and a detailed Legio Custodes Dreadnought transfer sheet featuring 165 waterslide decals for customization and narrative detailing. The model requires assembly and is supplied unpainted, allowing full creative freedom for hobbyists.

A centrepiece unit in any Legio Custodes force in Warhammer: The Horus Heresy, the Custodian Dreadnought combines overwhelming strength, elite martial skill, and imposing battlefield presence, serving as a relentless engine of destruction in the Emperor’s name.
