There is a slight problem here. The Dawneagle Captain doesn’t really have his own kit. You’ll need to buy a box of 3. But you can roll those two extras into the unit of 3 from above for a unit of 5. Or you can do what I would do which is to buy a third box and split them into two units of 4. So what are we looking at points wise now with a Dawneagle Captain and 5 more Vertus Praetors? Codex: T’au Empire is on its way to bring enlightenment to the universe, whether by soft-spoken diplomacy or very big, very loud guns . Regardless of your preferred method of conquest, a T’au force needs to be flexible in its ability to respond – a fact recognised in the upcoming T’au Empire Combat Patrol. Adeptus Custodes, the Emperor’s golden child, literally. These guys are dripping head-to-toe in the finest gold armour the Imperium has to offer. They guard the Imperial palace and the Golden Throne on which the Emperor sits... sort of. Each soldier is genetically enhanced and trained to an even higher degree than any Space Marine.

These miniatures are supplied unpainted and require assembly – we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel paints. Lay waste to the enemies of the Imperium with Combat Patrol: Adeptus Custodes. If you're looking for an effective way to start up a new army or to dramatically boost your existing collection, this box is it. 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. Their creation is shrouded in myth and mystery, but it is believed that they were created from the Emperor’s genetic make-up (gene-seed) much in the same way each Space Marine chapter was created from the Primarchs’. The creation and training of each Custodian is unique and much more time-consuming than that of their Space Marine brethren. It is said that they have been touched by the divinity of the Emperor himself. Seeing the Adeptus Custodes in battle it’s hard to argue otherwise. What’s in the box?At the front of patrol you have a Shield Captain, closely followed by a Vexilius Praetor (he doesn’t have a shield). Three Custodian Guards are ready for some close combat with their power weapons. Three Vertus Praetors, one of which can be build as a Shield Captain on Dawneagle Jetbike are ready to take to the skies for aerial combat. And ten Sisters of Silence Prosecutors, which can also be built as Vigilators or Witchseekers, round out the patrol. You also get two Burning of Prospero transfer sheets, which include insignia for the Talons of the Emperor.

Adeptus Custodes, the Emperor’s golden child, literally. These guys are dripping head-to-toe in the finest gold armour the Imperium has to offer. They guard the Imperial palace and the Golden Throne on which the Emperor sits… sort of. Each soldier is genetically enhanced and trained to an even higher degree than any Space Marine.For those occasions where you need a little sneakiness, the Combat Patrol box features three Stealth Battlesuits , and for when you just need raw firepower, there’s a Ghostkeel Battlesuit . Finally, you also get an Ethereal to provide some spiritual guidance to the army and scoot around dramatically on their hover drone. We also dropped the Shield-Captain. Again, we need the points. What are we going to replace him with? We’re going to put him on a Dawneagle Jetbike. Because those things are too good. 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.
