Warhammer 40K Adeptus Custodes Vertus Praetors - 3 Dawneagle Jetbike Miniatures Set | Games Workshop 01-12 | Fast Attack Squad

Unleash the golden lightning of the Emperor's elite with the Warhammer 40,000 Adeptus Custodes Vertus Praetors, a supremely detailed miniature set featuring three of the Imperium's most formidable jetbike warriors. These veteran Custodians represent the pinnacle of speed and precision warfare, mounted on magnificent Dawneagle Pattern Jetbikes that streak across battlefields like divine retribution made manifest.
Each Vertus Praetor is a master combatant who has already proven himself among the ranks of the legendary Custodian Guard. These warriors exemplify the perfect fusion of superhuman skill and cutting-edge technology, capable of placing devastating kill shots while screaming through enemy territory at near-supersonic speeds. Their role as fast-moving reconnaissance and heavy cavalry makes them indispensable assets in any Adeptus Custodes force.
The Dawneagle Jetbikes themselves are marvels of ancient Imperial engineering, crafted from auramite and adamantium with hulls as durable as light fighter aircraft. These grav-skimmers can slam through walls and enemy formations without unseating their riders, while responding with incredible agility to the slightest control input. Their phenomenal durability allows them to jink effortlessly through incoming fire, making them nearly impossible to pin down in combat.
This comprehensive plastic kit contains 111 high-quality components designed to assemble three complete Vertus Praetors with their Dawneagle Jetbikes. The miniatures showcase Games Workshop's exceptional attention to detail, featuring intricately sculpted auramite armor adorned with Imperial eagles, lightning bolts, gemstones, and ornate filigree that befits the Emperor's personal guardians. The jetbikes mirror this ornate aesthetic with aggressively-shaped cowlings covered in similar Imperial iconography.
Weapon loadout options provide tactical flexibility for different battlefield roles. Each Praetor carries a deadly Interceptor Lance - a specialized weapon that can re-roll wound rolls when charging - along with a backup Misericordia blade. The Dawneagle Jetbikes can be equipped with either Hurricane Bolters for devastating anti-infantry firepower or Salvo Launchers for versatile anti-armor and anti-aircraft capabilities. Salvo Launchers feature dual firing modes: armor-piercing Melta Missiles for tank hunting and Flakkburst Missiles for aerial targets.
The kit includes options to build a Shield-Captain on Dawneagle Jetbike, distinguished by his bare head and enhanced battlefield authority. This character option provides valuable command abilities and strategic advantages to your Adeptus Custodes army.
Assembly features include three Citadel 75mm Oval bases with flying stems to create dynamic aerial poses that capture the speed and grace of these elite warriors. The detailed cockpit controls feature large screens, numerous dials, and buttons that emphasize the advanced technology at each Praetor's disposal.
Whether you're expanding an existing Adeptus Custodes collection or starting a new golden legion, these Vertus Praetors offer unmatched speed, firepower, and modeling opportunities. Their ability to rapidly outflank enemy positions, provide close air support, and eliminate priority targets makes them essential units for competitive play and narrative campaigns alike.
Perfect for Warhammer 40,000 players seeking fast attack options that combine elite infantry quality with high mobility, this set delivers both exceptional gaming value and stunning display potential when painted in the iconic golden livery of the Emperor's guardians.
