More than this they are the personal bodyguard to the Emperor himself. Each Custodian is a unique work of art, the product of genetic lore collected over many lifetimes, making their physical build and martial prowess vastly superior to that of a standard Space Marine. Created using far more advanced gene-craft than that used for the Adeptus Astartes it is whispered that the Custodian's genetic template was forged from the Emperor's flesh as the Adeptus Astartes' was from that of the Primarchs. It is the Adeptus Custodes that decide not only who may enter the throne room of the Emperor but when they may enter. Such is their authority in this matter that Space Marines and Inquisitors must kneel before them.]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGenerally, the Custodes are larger and much more powerful than Space Marines. Their armour is a finely wrought form of Power Armour, greater than that of even Astartes models, made with Auramite rather than Ceramite. Some Custodes further protect themselves by carrying a Praesidium Shield, Storm Shield or equipping themselves with Terminator Armour. For armament, the Custodes are renowned for carrying Guardian Spears, mighty power weapons that have been carried by the Adeptus Custodes since long before the Emperor's confinement. This weapon is closely associated with the Custodes and is depicted on their banners and badges. Other weapons carried by Custodes include Sentinel Blades, Power Knives, and Custodes Vexilla.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA Genestealer Cult is a community of Genestealers, Genestealer hybrids, as well as the completely human convert-hosts, infected victims and genetic relatives known as Brood Brothers, existing secretly within another society. Cults form if a Genestealer infects members of another species with its genotype. The resultant changes in the genome of the host cause a fanatical loyalty to the Genestealers as well as a drastic change to their reproductive system; their firstborn children will be Hybrids, a grotesque mixture of the host's race and Genestealers. These hybrids infect further victims, and the infection spreads exponentially. Fourth-generation hybrids produce Purestrain Genestealers, and the cycle starts once again.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the cavernous chambers of the Palace in Shadow Throne, sneaky Genestealers clash with stalwart Adeptus Custodes. This set contains two powerful forces ready to fight to the death, as well as two new characters, the Reductus Saboteur and the Blade Champion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eContains:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1x Blade Champion\u003cbr\u003e\n3x Allarus Custodians, with the option to build one miniature as a Shield-Captain, and one as a Vexilus Praetor\u003cbr\u003e\n5x Witchseekers, able to be built as Vigitalors or Prosecutors\u003cbr\u003e\n1x Reductus Saboteur with explosive device\u003cbr\u003e\n1x Genestealer Patriarch\u003cbr\u003e\n1x Magus\u003cbr\u003e\n1x Primus\u003cbr\u003e\n2x Familiars\u003cbr\u003e\n10x Neophyte Hybrids\u003cbr\u003e\n1x 32-page Shadow Throne campaign book covering the narrative of the Unthinkable War, which sees the Adeptus Custodes and Sisters of Silence in conflict with a covert uprising of Genestealer Cults beneath the Imperial Palace itself.
