Dropsite Massacre (Paperback)

The Adeptus Custodes are duty-bound and beyond corruption. They are remorseless and ever-vigilant, and their sense of loyalty to the Emperor is unhindered by ambition or compassion. This is a set of 16 six-sided dice with squared edges for use in games of Warhammer 40,000, themed around the Adeptus Custodes. They are cast in black acrylic with gold ink markings, and measure 16mm along each edge. The 1-5 facings are traditionally pipped, and each '6' face is decorated with the icon of the Adeptus Custodes. These themed dice are only available while stocks last.

The Adeptus Custodes shine with the last gleaming of the Emperor’s radiance. Clad in auramite, they were fashioned by the Master of Mankind as his advisors, emissaries, guardians, and champions. Now, they are an order in mourning, their tireless vigil a penance for allowing Him to fall to the arch traitor. The most important duty of the Custodes is to shield the Emperor on the Golden Throne, but in the desperate state of the galaxy, they travel the stars to smite any who would welcome the death of Humanity.
