Summary

  • Games Workshop previewed a Custodes Support Battle Group that brings three classic Custodian units into plastic for the first time: 1 Telemon Heavy Dreadnought, 4 Gyrfalcon Jetbikes and 1 Pallas Grav-attack.
  • The box is the first branded for both Warhammer 40,000 and Warhammer: The Horus Heresy, with all three units usable in both systems and Heresy rules set for Liber Custodes: The Forces of the Emperor.
  • The new kits add multiple weapon options, including four main loadouts for the Telemon, four gun choices for each jetbike and two armaments for the Pallas grav-tank.
  • Journal Tactica: Prospero Burns – The Judgement of Valdor expands the release with Custodes lore, a new Cohort Doctrine, a Legendary Mission, Adjutorum Sodalities rules and a Daemons of Tzeentch army list.
  • Both the battle group and the book are slated for pre-order later in 2026 after the Big Summer Preview reveal.
