Hetaeron Guard are actually represented in 30k, being an Elite choice for Talons of the Emperor list. Absolute beasts in close combat, they start at 210 points per 3 models, so they cost 15 points per model more than Custodian Guard, but get some awesome buffs in exchange. They have basic Custodes statline, BUT have '''3 wounds, 3 attacks, I5 and Ld10'''. ''Also, Counter-Attack USR.'' '''THE RAPETRAIN HAS NO BRAKES.'''

In means of equipment, Hetaeron can exchange their default [[Power weapon#Guardian Spear|Guardian Spears]] for almost any weapon from Custodes arsenal, the only exception being HQ-only Paragon Spear. Your kinky veteran-bananas can get [[Power weapon#Solarite Power Gauntlet|Solarite Power Talons]] to mince MEQ with S6 AP3 ''Shred and Master-crafted'' Specialist Weapons, Adrasite/Pyrrite Spears, Magisterium Vexilla for some buffs and Paragon Blades for '''S6 AP2 MURDEROUS STRIKE BLOODBATH AT I5/I6'''. And if they happen to come across some tanks, it is possible for them to do some RAPE using [[Power weapon#Solarite Power Gauntlet|Solarite Power Gauntlets]], which deal S10 AP1 glorious master-crafted I1 DESTRUCTION. And you get bonus attack for 2 CCW, since Gauntlets ''aren't Specialist.'' And everyone can get a Praesidium Shield for 10 points. Enjoy your Bananas of Total Annihilation.

By the way, don't forget that the whole squad can get Arae-Shrikes(auto-choice), Melta-bombs(pretty useless most of the time because solarite gauntlets) and Teleportation Trasponders (must-have for mass-deepstrike armies, totally free when Valdor is your Warlord).

Current meta suggests bringing squads of Solarite Gauntlets together with Paragon Blades/Shields combo for maximum cheese. It's important to remember that shielded buddies don't get bonus attacks for 2 CCW, so don't give shields to your boxer-bananas. It is recommended to get 2-3 Paragon/Shield Custodes in front and leave 5-6 Boxers behind them. This way you'll get a balanced combo of well-protected AP2 on Initiative, followed by A LOT of S10 AP1 punches.
Throw a Tribune or Valdor for maximum carnage. Have fun.
