For 190 points, '''Shield-Captains''' are the very definition of brutality. It's basically a Praetor with +1 to all his stats save WS and BS, a Guardian spear, a [[Auramite Armour|Custodian armor]], an Iron Halo and krak/plasma grenades, plus the ''Legio Custodes'', ''Precision strike/shot'', ''Counter-attack'' special rules and a nasty selection of various tools of war. Solarite gauntlets and claws, every flavour of spears, Archeotech pistol, digital lasers (yes, 6 Attacks and you can get more from the spears), melta-bombs, Arae-shrikes and teleportation transponders (deep-strike motherfucker!) mean this guy can kill whatever you want, wherever you want. All this is pretty impressive by itself, but if you ever read or heard something about the Legio Custodes in 30k, you know what made this guy hated and reviled by every sane player around.

Yes, you know about the Cheestodes and his infamous cyber-familiar/Praesidium shield combo?

Never heard of it ? Say goodbye to your innocence and your dream of a balanced game you fool. [[Rape|Rerollable 3++ and -1 to Hit you in close combat]]. No fucking joke, [[What|you must avoid using attacks with AP2 or better against him because he will tank them better than stuff with no AP at all]] (Though if the Custode's player is smart he'll just use the invulnerable save all the time, instead of just for AP1/2 attacks, which is [[Troll|perfectly legal]]). This sole feature made the Shield-Captain one the toughest bastards in the ENTIRE GAME, because having [[Rip and tear|6 S6 AP2 attacks which generate additional attacks on 6s to hit and Instant Death on 6s to wound at I6 or 6 S10 AP1 master-crafted I1 attacks]] didn't make him dreadful enough. But all is not lost yet ! You can still pray for your few Instant Death attacks to insta-kill this obnoxious banana Mary Sue, because at least he doesn't have Eternal Warrior.

Right ?

Aaaaand here comes the '''Tribune''' upgrade. At a price of 25 more points, and if you're taking him in a detachment of 2000 points or more, your Shield-Captain gets ''Eternal Warrior'' and ''Fearless'' and you can even '''choose''' your Warlord Trait for extra shenanigans. Enjoy your Primarch-stomping tactical genius.

Fortunately, FW saw the obvious problems of such amount of cheese and nerfed the bastard down, erasing the cyber-familiar from existence. Now the Shieldtribune "only" gets a 3++ with no re-roll, which is still enough to murder half of the primarchs single-handedly.
