🚨 New Preorder – Reserve yours now at Gamers Paradise!Adeptus Custodes: Contemptor-Galatus Dreadnought brings a towering golden war machine to your Custodes army, ready for Warhammer 40,000 and Warhammer: The Horus Heresy.
🔥 Adeptus Custodes: Contemptor-Galatus Dreadnought
Stride into battle with the Contemptor-Galatus Dreadnought, an elite Custodes war machine armed with a massive warblade and Gravis praesidium shield. Like a Sentinel Guard magnified into walking engine form, the Galatus is built to anchor the battlefield, absorb punishment, and carve through the enemies of the Emperor.
This multipart plastic kit builds 1 Custodian Dreadnought, which can be assembled as the shield-bearing Contemptor-Galatus or alternatively as the spear-armed Contemptor-Achillus. With ornate Custodes detail, powerful melee presence, and dual use across Warhammer 40,000 and Horus Heresy, this is a standout centerpiece kit for any Ten Thousand collection.
