Editing Warhammer 40,000/8th Edition Tactics/Adeptus Custodes (section)

===Special Issue Wargear===
*'''Storm Shield:''' The tried and true Storm Shield, commonly known to make dirty Xenos and heretics alike light up with rage. Cannot be taken with Guardian Spears, no Space Hoplites unfortunately but should not be overlooked as a unit of 5 of these is an excellent distraction Carnifex which will die so slowly that it will make an actual distraction Carnifex look like a squad of conscripts in heavy bolter fire. With Custodes in a detachment all benefiting from a 4++ naturally, one must weigh the loss of certain melee and ranged effectiveness for an increase of a save from 4 to 3. If you want your Custodian Guard to hold backfield objectives for you, it might be worth giving one or two of your guys a Storm Shield to soak up AP -2 and better shots while letting the rest of your Spear guys take the low AP shots.
