Warhammer: The Horus Heresy - Liber Custodes: The Forces of the Emperor Army Book (2026)

The Custodians are the finest warriors known to the Imperium, outfitted from the secret arsenals of the Emperor himself. They serve both as protectors – of the Emperor’s person, domain, and secrets – and as aggressors, executing those who might betray the Emperor and prosecuting the Great Crusade’s most pivotal campaigns. Their warships, vehicles, weapons, and wargear are utterly unparalleled and are the apex of the Imperium’s military might.

This book is an essential guide for anyone who wants to command the Legio Custodes, the Anathema Psykana, and the Divisio Assassinorum in Warhammer: The Horus Heresy. It contains the rules you need to field the most powerful units available to the Imperium, along with Detachments, Wargear, and special rules which make the forces of the Emperor so potent on the tabletop.
