Description

Adeptus Custodes: Pallas Grav-Attack is a sleek, heavily armed anti-gravity strike vehicle for the elite warriors of the Legio Custodes in Warhammer: The Horus Heresy and the Adeptus Custodes in Warhammer 40,000. Designed as a highly manoeuvrable hunter-killer, the Pallas Grav-attack combines advanced repulsor-lift technology, formidable weaponry, sophisticated shielding, and exceptional battlefield agility to deliver devastating attacks against enemy infantry and armoured vehicles.

This multipart plastic kit from Games Workshop builds one Pallas Grav-attack, with a choice of two powerful weapon configurations: a Twin Arachnus Blaze Cannon or a Twin Iliastus Accelerator Fusil. The kit also includes a Citadel oval base, a Custodes Vehicle Flight Stem, and a Legio Custodes Vehicle Transfer Sheet featuring 210 waterslide transfers for personalising your miniature.

Deliver Swift Death

The Adeptus Custodes are the Emperor's personal guardians, an elite brotherhood of warriors whose martial abilities and equipment surpass even those of the mighty Space Marines. Each Custodian is a master of warfare, equipped with some of the most sophisticated weapons and armour available to the Imperium of Man.

While the Custodes are renowned for their unmatched prowess in close combat, their military strength extends far beyond individual warriors. Their armouries contain extraordinary vehicles and weapons systems designed to support the Ten Thousand in their most demanding military operations.

Among these advanced machines is the Pallas Grav-attack, a compact and exceptionally agile strike vehicle developed to hunt down enemy targets with speed and precision.

Employing sophisticated repulsor-lift technology, the Pallas operates above the battlefield, allowing it to manoeuvre rapidly into advantageous firing positions and exploit weaknesses in enemy formations. Its combination of speed, protection, and firepower makes it ideally suited to the aggressive battlefield tactics of the Emperor's chosen warriors.

An Elite Hunter-Killer Vehicle

The Pallas Grav-attack was designed to fulfil a role similar to the Land Speeders employed by the Space Marine Legions and Chapters. However, as a vehicle created for the Custodes, it incorporates technological refinements that place it among the most advanced light attack craft available to Imperial forces.

Its superior agility allows it to reposition quickly and approach targets from unexpected directions. Its improved armour provides additional protection against enemy fire, while sophisticated inbuilt shielding technology helps safeguard the vehicle and its occupants during dangerous engagements.

These features allow the Pallas to operate aggressively, striking at vulnerable enemy units before moving to another position. Rather than relying on overwhelming size or heavy armour alone, it combines speed and precision to maximise the effectiveness of its advanced weaponry.

On the tabletop, the Pallas Grav-attack represents a highly mobile element of a Custodes force, visually complementing the imposing infantry and larger vehicles associated with the Emperor's personal guard.

Advanced Repulsor-Lift Technology

At the heart of the Pallas Grav-attack's design is its advanced repulsor-lift system, which allows the vehicle to hover above the battlefield rather than relying on conventional tracks or wheels.

This technology gives the Pallas its distinctive appearance and reflects the extraordinary engineering resources available to the Legio Custodes.

The vehicle's streamlined hull and anti-gravity propulsion system are designed around rapid movement and precision strikes. It can exploit openings in enemy formations, reposition to bring its weapons to bear, and support advancing Custodian warriors with accurate firepower.

The included Custodes Vehicle Flight Stem allows the assembled miniature to be displayed in its hovering position, reinforcing the impression of a fast-moving grav-vehicle sweeping across the battlefield.

Choose Your Weapon Configuration

The Pallas Grav-attack can be assembled with one of two powerful hull-mounted weapon systems, allowing hobbyists to select the configuration that best suits their preferred appearance and intended battlefield role.

Both weapon options represent the advanced technology and precision engineering associated with the Custodes, offering formidable offensive capabilities against the enemies of the Emperor.

Twin Arachnus Blaze Cannon

The Twin Arachnus Blaze Cannon is a sophisticated weapon system designed to deliver destructive firepower from the Pallas Grav-attack's hull-mounted armament.

Its advanced construction reflects the extraordinary weapons technology available to the Legio Custodes, providing the vehicle with a formidable means of engaging hostile forces.

This configuration is an appealing choice for hobbyists who want to equip their Pallas with the distinctive appearance of the Arachnus weapon system.

Twin Iliastus Accelerator Fusil

Alternatively, the Pallas Grav-attack can be equipped with a Twin Iliastus Accelerator Fusil, another expertly engineered weapon system capable of delivering devastating attacks against enemy targets.

The Iliastus configuration offers a different visual appearance and tactical option, allowing players to tailor the miniature to their chosen Custodes force.

Both weapon systems are designed to threaten infantry and armoured targets, making the Pallas Grav-attack a versatile strike platform for the Emperor's elite warriors. Players should consult the appropriate rules for their chosen game system when selecting a weapon configuration.

For Warhammer: The Horus Heresy

During the turbulent events of the Horus Heresy, the Legio Custodes stood among the most powerful and prestigious military formations loyal to the Emperor.

Entrusted with duties of extraordinary importance, these warriors possessed access to advanced weapons, specialised vehicles, and technological marvels unavailable to the vast majority of Imperial forces.

The Pallas Grav-attack reflects this technological superiority. Its speed and precision make it a fitting addition to a Legio Custodes collection, providing a fast-moving counterpart to the heavily armoured Custodian infantry and other specialised vehicles of the Emperor's household.

For players building a Legio Custodes army in Warhammer: The Horus Heresy, the Pallas offers an opportunity to introduce an agile attack vehicle into their collection.

Its sleek design and advanced weaponry make it particularly suitable for representing the rapid-response capabilities of the Emperor's personal guardians during the Age of Darkness.

For Warhammer 40,000

Ten thousand years after the Horus Heresy, the Adeptus Custodes continue to serve as the Emperor's guardians, maintaining their ancient traditions and wielding extraordinary weapons of war.

The Pallas Grav-attack remains a distinctive example of Custodian military technology, combining the advanced engineering of the Imperium's most privileged warriors with a battlefield role centred on speed and precision.

For Warhammer 40,000 Adeptus Custodes collectors, this kit provides an opportunity to add a sleek anti-gravity vehicle to an army otherwise characterised by imposing armoured infantry, elite champions, and powerful war machines.

Whether supporting Custodian warriors during an offensive or striking at enemy targets from an advantageous position, the Pallas adds visual variety and a sense of technological sophistication to a Custodes collection.

A Distinctive Addition to a Custodes Army

The Pallas Grav-attack stands apart from many conventional Imperial vehicles thanks to its compact profile, streamlined hull, and advanced anti-gravity design.

Where the vehicles of the Astra Militarum often emphasise mass, heavy armour, and industrial construction, the Pallas reflects the refined and highly specialised engineering associated with the Emperor's household.

Its elegant design complements the ornate armour and equipment of Custodian warriors, making it a natural addition to a force built around the visual identity of the Adeptus Custodes.

For collectors of Horus Heresy and Warhammer 40,000 vehicles, the miniature also offers an interesting contrast to the more familiar tracked tanks, armoured transports, and conventional aircraft found throughout the Warhammer universes.

Customise Your Vehicle with 210 Transfers

The kit includes a Legio Custodes Vehicle Transfer Sheet containing 210 high-quality waterslide transfers.

These transfers provide additional opportunities to personalise your Pallas Grav-attack and incorporate it into the distinctive visual traditions of the Emperor's elite guardians.

The sheet features Custodian symbols, text identifying locations of great battles, and other decorative markings suitable for applying to the vehicle's armour and hull.

Waterslide transfers are particularly useful for adding crisp heraldry and detailed markings to miniature vehicles, allowing hobbyists to achieve intricate decorative effects that would be difficult to reproduce by hand.

Whether you're painting your Pallas in traditional gold or developing a distinctive scheme for your own Custodes collection, the included transfers provide an excellent finishing touch.

An Excellent Vehicle Painting Project

The Pallas Grav-attack offers a rewarding painting project for hobbyists who enjoy the distinctive appearance of Custodian vehicles.

Its sleek armour panels provide excellent surfaces for experimenting with metallic paints, smooth highlights, shading, and weathering effects.

The traditional gold armour associated with the Adeptus Custodes is a natural choice, but the miniature can also be painted in alternative colour schemes to represent different shield hosts or a personalised force.

The advanced weapon systems provide opportunities to introduce contrasting colours, while the vehicle's mechanical details and repulsor-lift components can be finished with metallic tones and carefully applied highlights.

Hobbyists can also use the included waterslide transfers to add Custodian heraldry and historical markings, giving the finished model a distinctive appearance.

For painters who enjoy display-quality vehicle projects, the Pallas provides a combination of broad armour surfaces, detailed weapon components, and elegant sculpting that rewards careful finishing.

Ideal for Custodes Players and Collectors

For players building a new Custodes collection, the Pallas Grav-attack introduces a distinctive vehicle that complements the faction's elite infantry and powerful war machines.

For established collectors, it offers an opportunity to add another example of the advanced technology available to the Emperor's personal guardians.

The inclusion of two weapon options also provides modelling flexibility, allowing hobbyists to choose the armament that best suits their preferred appearance or army plans.

Because the kit is intended for both Warhammer: The Horus Heresy and Warhammer 40,000, it is particularly appealing to enthusiasts who collect Custodes miniatures across both game systems.

Whether you're preparing to defend the Emperor during the Age of Darkness or deploying the Adeptus Custodes against the enemies of the Imperium in the 41st Millennium, the Pallas Grav-attack offers a formidable combination of speed, advanced technology, and devastating firepower.
