Adeptus Custodes: Telemon Heavy Dreadnought brings one of the most powerful and revered war machines of the Emperor's personal guard to the battlefields of Warhammer. A towering fusion of extraordinary Imperial technology, devastating weaponry, and the unmatched martial skill of a veteran Custodian, the Telemon Heavy Dreadnought is among the most formidable fighting machines ever entrusted to the Legio Custodes.

This multipart plastic kit builds 1 Telemon Heavy Dreadnought for Legio Custodes armies in Warhammer: The Horus Heresy and Adeptus Custodes armies in Warhammer 40,000. Equipped with a shoulder-mounted Spiculus Bolt Launcher and powerful close-combat weapons, the Telemon can be customised with a selection of devastating ranged armaments, allowing hobbyists to create a magnificent war machine capable of dominating the battlefield.

Guardian Eternal – The Emperor's Undying Warriors

The Adeptus Custodes are among the greatest warriors ever created by humanity. Each Custodian is an individual masterpiece of genetic engineering, possessing extraordinary physical strength, speed, intelligence, and martial ability. Their dedication to the Emperor is absolute, and their commitment to duty extends beyond the limits of their mortal bodies.

When a Custodian suffers catastrophic injuries but retains the consciousness and will necessary to continue serving, they may be interred within a mighty Dreadnought. These extraordinary machines allow the most experienced warriors of the Emperor's household to continue their eternal vigil, fighting with the strength of advanced mechanical bodies while retaining their formidable knowledge and combat abilities.

Among these revered war machines, the Telemon Heavy Dreadnought occupies a position of exceptional prestige. The Telemon is an extraordinarily rare and sophisticated construct, with fewer than a handful remaining. The honour of interment within one of these precious sarcophagi is reserved for only the most celebrated Custodian warriors.

Each Telemon represents an irreplaceable combination of advanced Imperial craftsmanship and the extraordinary experience of a legendary warrior. Its continued existence is a testament to the technological achievements of the Emperor's household and the unwavering determination of the Custodes to fulfil their sacred responsibilities.

Designed to stand sentinel over those entrusted to its protection, the Telemon is expected to hold its position regardless of the enemies arrayed against it. Whether confronting overwhelming infantry formations, heavily armoured vehicles, or the most dangerous champions of the Imperium's enemies, these magnificent Dreadnoughts fight with relentless determination.

A Towering Engine of Destruction

The Telemon Heavy Dreadnought is a massive armoured war machine equipped with some of the most sophisticated protective systems and destructive weapons available to the Legio Custodes.

Its heavily reinforced chassis incorporates masterwork defensive technology designed to withstand tremendous punishment. Combined with the exceptional skill and determination of the Custodian interred within, this protection allows the Telemon to remain a formidable threat even under intense enemy fire.

Unlike conventional Dreadnoughts that rely primarily upon their mechanical strength and onboard weaponry, the Telemon combines these advantages with the extraordinary tactical judgement and martial abilities of an experienced Custodian warrior.

Its imposing size and magnificent armour make it a natural focal point for a Custodes army, while its formidable weapons allow it to confront enemies at both long range and in close combat.

Whether standing guard over a strategically vital position, advancing alongside elite Custodian infantry, or engaging enemy war machines directly, the Telemon represents the overwhelming military power available to the Emperor's personal guardians.

Spiculus Bolt Launcher – Devastating Supporting Fire

Every Telemon Heavy Dreadnought built from this kit is equipped with a shoulder-mounted Spiculus Bolt Launcher, providing additional firepower alongside its primary weapons.

This sophisticated weapon system contributes to the Telemon's formidable ranged offensive capabilities, allowing it to unleash destructive attacks while advancing towards enemy positions or defending critical objectives.

The shoulder-mounted configuration gives the miniature a distinctive appearance, emphasising the extraordinary amount of weaponry carried by this heavily armoured Custodian war machine.

Dual Caestus Fists – Crushing Close-Combat Power

The Telemon can be equipped with Dual Caestus Fists, enormous close-combat weapons capable of delivering devastating blows against enemy warriors and armoured targets.

These powerful mechanical fists allow the Dreadnought to exploit its immense physical strength, combining the destructive force of its armoured chassis with the exceptional combat experience of the Custodian interred within.

Each Caestus Fist is also equipped with a Twin Neutronium Cascade Projector, providing additional firepower to complement the Telemon's formidable melee capabilities.

The combination of powerful close-combat weapons and integrated ranged armaments makes the Dual Caestus configuration particularly imposing, allowing the Telemon to engage its enemies with devastating force as it advances into battle.

For hobbyists who favour the appearance of a heavily armoured war machine prepared to crush its opponents at close quarters, the Dual Caestus Fists provide a striking and aggressive configuration.

Three Alternative Heavy Weapon Options

One of the Telemon's Caestus Fists can alternatively be replaced with a powerful ranged weapon, allowing players to customise the Dreadnought's armament and appearance.

The kit includes a choice of three distinctive heavy weapons, each representing the extraordinary technological resources available to the Legio Custodes.

Iliastus Accelerator Culverin: A sophisticated heavy weapon offering flexible ranged firepower. The Iliastus Accelerator Culverin provides an alternative to the Telemon's close-combat armament, allowing the Dreadnought to engage hostile targets with devastating long-range attacks.

Adrathic Desolator: A terrifying weapon associated with the advanced and esoteric arsenal of the Custodes. Designed to inflict tremendous damage, the Adrathic Desolator provides the Telemon with a formidable ranged option capable of threatening dangerous enemy targets.

Arachnus Storm Cannon: A powerful weapon designed to devastate heavily protected targets. Its armour-destroying capabilities make it an imposing choice for a Telemon tasked with confronting enemy war machines and other heavily armoured threats.

These alternative weapon options provide considerable modelling flexibility, allowing hobbyists to assemble a Telemon with either a pair of crushing Caestus Fists or a combination of close-combat and ranged weaponry.

The variety of available weapons also makes the kit particularly appealing to collectors who enjoy personalising the equipment and battlefield appearance of their Custodes war machines.

Extensive Posing and Customisation Options

The Adeptus Custodes: Telemon Heavy Dreadnought has been designed with considerable flexibility for assembly and personalisation.

The miniature's legs can be positioned in different poses, allowing hobbyists to create a distinctive stance for their Dreadnought. Whether standing resolutely in defence of an important position or advancing aggressively towards the enemy, these options help convey the immense power and imposing presence of the Telemon.

The elbows and fingers of each Caestus Fist can also be posed, providing additional opportunities to personalise the miniature's appearance.

These options are particularly useful for creating expressive close-combat poses, allowing the Dreadnought to appear ready to strike, crush an opponent, or stand defiantly against approaching enemies.

The kit also includes two waist armour designs, providing a choice of decorative components for the Dreadnought's heavily protected chassis.

Additional cosmetic options include two helmet bases and three helmet crowns, allowing hobbyists to customise the appearance of the Telemon's distinctive head assembly.

These interchangeable components provide an excellent opportunity to create a unique war machine that reflects the exceptional status and long history of the Custodian warrior interred within.

Masterwork Armour and Imperial Craftsmanship

The Telemon Heavy Dreadnought represents the pinnacle of Imperial military engineering, combining sophisticated protective technology with the magnificent craftsmanship associated with the Emperor's personal guard.

Its imposing armoured chassis is designed to withstand extraordinary punishment while supporting a formidable array of heavy weapons.

The Dreadnought's distinctive appearance reflects the prestige of the Legio Custodes, with ornate armour components and sophisticated mechanical details that distinguish it from the more conventional Dreadnoughts employed by other Imperial forces.

For collectors and miniature painters, the Telemon provides an opportunity to work with a substantial model featuring large armour panels, intricate mechanical components, and powerful weapon systems.

Its magnificent appearance makes it an impressive centrepiece for a Custodes collection, particularly when displayed alongside Custodian infantry, Shield Captains, Sentinel Guard, and advanced grav-vehicles.

For Warhammer: The Horus Heresy

During the Great Crusade and the devastating civil war of the Horus Heresy, the Legio Custodes possessed access to some of the most extraordinary military technologies available to humanity.

The Telemon Heavy Dreadnought represents the exceptional resources entrusted to the Emperor's personal guardians, combining the martial abilities of a legendary Custodian with a war machine of almost unparalleled sophistication.

For players of Warhammer: The Horus Heresy, the Telemon provides a formidable heavy Dreadnought for Legio Custodes armies.

Its extraordinary resilience and devastating weapons make it an imposing addition to forces containing elite Custodian infantry, specialised warriors, and sophisticated Imperial vehicles.

The Telemon's rarity and distinguished background also make it an appealing centrepiece for narrative armies representing the most celebrated warriors and war machines of the Emperor's household.

For Warhammer 40,000

The Telemon Heavy Dreadnought can also be used with Adeptus Custodes armies in Warhammer 40,000, representing one of the most revered and formidable war machines available to the Emperor's guardians in the 41st Millennium.

As the Adeptus Custodes confront threats throughout the galaxy, the extraordinary strength and firepower of their ancient Dreadnoughts remain invaluable.

The Telemon provides a visually imposing addition to Custodes armies, complementing the faction's elite infantry, powerful characters, and advanced armoured vehicles.

Its distinctive silhouette, massive armour, and formidable weapons make it an excellent centrepiece for collectors seeking to represent the most powerful war machines of the Emperor's personal guard.

An Exceptional Modelling and Painting Project

The Telemon Heavy Dreadnought offers miniature painters a rewarding project featuring substantial armour surfaces, intricate mechanical components, and magnificent Imperial detailing.

Traditional Custodes colour schemes typically feature rich gold armour, deep red accents, and carefully highlighted metallic details. These colours are particularly effective on the Telemon, emphasising its status as an extraordinary war machine belonging to the Emperor's personal guardians.

The miniature's large armour panels provide excellent opportunities for smooth metallic finishes, carefully controlled shading, and precise edge highlighting.

Its sophisticated weapon systems offer further opportunities to introduce contrasting metallic tones, energy effects, and detailed mechanical finishes.

Hobbyists can also explore alternative Custodes shield host colour schemes, personalised heraldry, and subtle weathering effects to create a distinctive appearance that reflects the history of the warrior interred within the Dreadnought.

The adjustable legs, articulated Caestus Fists, and interchangeable decorative components provide additional creative opportunities during assembly, allowing each Telemon to possess its own unique character.

Legio Custodes Dreadnought Transfer Sheet

The kit includes a dedicated Legio Custodes Dreadnought Transfer Sheet containing 165 high-quality waterslide transfers.

These transfers include Custodian symbols, text commemorating the locations of great battles, and additional decorative markings suitable for personalising your Dreadnought.

They provide an excellent opportunity to represent the Telemon's distinguished history of service, add Imperial heraldry to its armour, and create a unique appearance worthy of one of the Emperor's most celebrated warriors.

Combined with the miniature's extensive posing options and alternative weapons, these transfers provide considerable flexibility for creating a distinctive war machine that complements the rest of your Custodes collection.
