Imperial Guard Added to Warhammer 40k Tacticus

• The newest faction has arrived in Warhammer 40,000: Tacticus
• The Adeptus Custodes serve as the Emperor's personal guardians
• They are commanded by Shield-Captain Trajann Valoris

Even if Warhammer 40,000: Tacticus' gameplay doesn't resonate with everyone, its authenticity to the 40k universe is undeniable—particularly in how Imperium factions receive far more focus than others. Rather fittingly, the latest addition is none other than the Adeptus Custodes.

Personal reservations about the Golden Boys aside, the Adeptus Custodes usher in a new era of battlefield supremacy. As the Emperor’s dedicated protectors, they are to Space Marines what Superman is to Captain America—superior in every respect, from their imposing physiques to their advanced weaponry and gear.

Shield-Captain Trajann Valoris will command the new Custodes faction in an upcoming Legendary event starting this month. Kicking off on May 24th, this Survival Event is a grueling trial that will challenge every contender, even the Adeptus Custodes themselves.

Debuting as part of the Warhammer Skulls gaming showcase—which also featured the reveal of Supremacy: Warhammer 40,000—it’s no shock that Tacticus opted for a headline faction. So for now, Leagues of Votann enthusiasts will have to wait a bit longer.

If you’re among those fascinated by the Emperor’s elite sentinels, watch the trailer above to see their superhuman prowess in action! Remember, Trajann Valoris becomes available on May 24th, letting you take command of this formidable new force.
