The Warhammer: The Horus Heresy Legio Custodes Shield Captain represents one of the most elite and strategically gifted warriors within the Emperor’s personal guard, entrusted with command over the Legio Custodes in the most dangerous and critical engagements. Possessing superhuman ability, rare tactical insight, and unmatched combat skill, each Shield Captain stands as a living embodiment of the Emperor’s will on the battlefield.

This multipart plastic kit builds one Shield Captain for use in Legio Custodes armies in Warhammer: The Horus Heresy. Clad in intricately detailed auramite armour, the model reflects the wealth, prestige, and ceremonial grandeur of the Emperor’s most trusted commanders, featuring ornate sculpted iconography and fine filigree that emphasise their exalted status.

Armed with a praesidium shield and an eternity blade, the Shield Captain is both a formidable frontline combatant and a symbol of authority. The shield offers unmatched protection while the blade delivers lethal precision in close combat, making this warrior a powerful anchor for any Custodes force. The kit also includes two head options, allowing you to choose between a helmeted or bare-headed representation of your commander.

This model can also be used to represent a Tribune, an even more highly regarded leader within the Legio Custodes hierarchy, further enhancing its narrative and tabletop versatility.

The set contains 24 plastic components and includes one Citadel 40mm round base. The miniature requires assembly and is supplied unpainted, offering full creative freedom for hobbyists to customise and paint their leader.

A commanding centrepiece for any Custodes army in Warhammer: The Horus Heresy, the Shield Captain delivers elite combat performance, inspirational leadership, and an unmistakable presence worthy of the Emperor’s finest warriors.
