Similar in aspect to the Contemptor Dreadnoughts of the Legiones Astartes, the Contemptor-Galatus is a markedly superior war machine. The unrivalled skills of the warrior entombed within its sarcophagus notwithstanding, the Contemptor-Galatus is stronger, faster and better armoured.
Designed to provide an anchor for a Legio Custodes battleline, the Contemptor-Galatus is armed in similar fashion to the Custodes Sentinel Guard – wielding a huge Galatus Warblade with its inbuilt twin-linked infernus incinerator, and equipped with a vastly enlarged version of the Custodes Praesidium shield. Already able to withstand heavy assaults with its armour and refractor field, the Praesidium shield allows the Contemptor-Galatus stand nigh on impregnable, enduring the enemy onslaught and reaping a murderous toll with its immense power blade.
The Legio Custodes Contemptor-Galatus Dreadnought is a finely detailed model, heavily ornamented with the markings of the Imperium and icons of the Legio Custodes. The kit includes both weapon arms and four alternate feet to allow you to pose the Dreadnought in any number of ways.
Rules for using the Legio Custodes Contemptor-Galatus Dreadnought in Legio Custodes armies in Horus Heresy games can be found in the forthcoming book The Horus Heresy Book Seven: Inferno.
The Legio Custodes Contemptor-Galatus Dreadnought is a complete, multi-part resin kit. A 60mm round base is included.
