Frequently Asked Questions
What's the best Adeptus Custodes kit for beginners?
Can I buy individual Adeptus Custodes squads at On-Board Gaming?
Yes. Both our Escondido store and online shop carry individual squad kits, characters, and jetbike units across the Adeptus Custodes range. Pick up exactly the units your custodes army needs without buying a full battleforce.
Do Adeptus Custodes work well for competitive play?
Definitely. High-toughness profiles, strong invulnerable saves, and devastating melee weapon attacks let small custodes units punch above their weight against enemy models on any target. Vertus Praetors with hurricane bolters add ranged threat in the shooting phase, and Martial Ka'tah stances give you flex turn to turn.
How do I keep my Adeptus Custodes models in good condition?
Clean mould lines before priming, then seal painted miniatures with a brush-on varnish to protect the gold finish. Store models in foam-lined cases and handle the Vertus Praetors' jetbike flying stems carefully, since those stems are the part most likely to snap during transport.
What makes Adeptus Custodes different from Space Marines and Grey Knights?
Space Marines and Grey Knights field full squads of genetically enhanced warriors, while each custodian is individually crafted as part of the Emperor's personal bodyguard. That means smaller model counts but elite stat lines, with every dice roll mattering more and a single Custodian going into base-to-base contact with an enemy unit able to swing a fight on its own.
