Description

Adeptus Custodes: Caladius Annihilator Grav-Tank brings devastating heavy firepower and extraordinary technological sophistication to the battlefields of Warhammer. Armed with a formidable Arachnus Blaze Carronade and supported by advanced antigravitic propulsion systems, this magnificent Imperial war machine combines exceptional mobility, formidable protection, and overwhelming offensive capability. Designed for use with Legio Custodes armies in Warhammer: The Horus Heresy and Adeptus Custodes armies in Warhammer 40,000, the Caladius Annihilator provides the Emperor's elite warriors with a powerful armoured platform capable of annihilating heavily protected enemy formations.

This multipart plastic kit builds one Caladius Annihilator Grav-Tank, featuring a turret-mounted Arachnus Blaze Carronade and a choice of two hull-mounted weapon systems. With its distinctive antigravitic chassis, elegant Imperial design, and devastating weaponry, the Caladius Annihilator is an impressive addition to any Custodes army and a striking centrepiece for collectors and miniature painters.

The Pinnacle of Imperial Military Technology

The Legio Custodes are the Emperor's personal guardians, warriors of almost unparalleled strength, skill, and dedication. Entrusted with defending the Master of Mankind and carrying out his most important commands, they possess access to weapons, armour, and military technologies that far surpass those available to conventional Imperial forces.

The Caladius Annihilator Grav-Tank represents the extraordinary engineering capabilities available to these elite warriors. Combining sophisticated antigravitic propulsion, advanced protective systems, and immensely powerful weaponry, it is among the most formidable armoured vehicles of its size employed by the Imperium.

Unlike conventional Imperial tanks that rely upon tracks and heavy mechanical propulsion systems, the Caladius Annihilator uses advanced gravitic technology to glide across the battlefield. This sophisticated mobility allows it to reposition rapidly, support advancing Custodes formations, and bring its devastating weapons to bear against priority targets.

Its heavily protected chassis ensures that this remarkable vehicle can operate in dangerous combat environments while delivering the firepower required to confront some of the most formidable opponents encountered by the Emperor's armies.

Arachnus Blaze Carronade – Devastating Heavy Firepower

The defining feature of the Caladius Annihilator is its powerful turret-mounted Arachnus Blaze Carronade, one of the most formidable weapons available to the Custodes' armoured arsenal.

This devastating weapon is designed to unleash extraordinary destructive force against heavily protected enemy formations. Even warriors equipped with advanced power armour can be torn apart by its concentrated firepower, making the Caladius Annihilator a terrifying opponent for elite infantry and other valuable battlefield targets.

The Arachnus Blaze Carronade distinguishes the Annihilator from the standard Caladius Grav-Tank, providing a different heavy weapon configuration for players seeking to expand the offensive capabilities of their Custodes forces.

Mounted within the vehicle's distinctive turret assembly, the weapon creates an imposing silhouette that reflects the technological superiority and military prestige of the Emperor's personal guard.

Whether supporting the advance of elite Custodian infantry, engaging dangerous enemy formations, or providing devastating fire support during a major offensive, the Caladius Annihilator represents the overwhelming firepower available to the Legio Custodes.

Choice of Hull-Mounted Weapons

In addition to its main turret-mounted weapon, the Caladius Annihilator can be equipped with one of two hull-mounted weapon systems. These options allow hobbyists to customise the vehicle's appearance and select additional weaponry to complement its powerful Arachnus Blaze Carronade.

Twin Lastrum Bolt Cannon: This weapon system provides powerful anti-infantry firepower, allowing the Caladius Annihilator to engage enemy troops with devastating volleys. Its sophisticated bolt weaponry reflects the advanced equipment available to the Custodes and provides an effective complement to the vehicle's main armament.

Twin Neutronium Cascade Projector: Alternatively, the vehicle can be equipped with this specialised weapon system, designed to devastate concentrations of enemy infantry. Its destructive capabilities make it particularly appropriate for confronting massed enemy formations and clearing hostile troops from the battlefield.

These alternative hull-mounted weapons provide useful modelling flexibility and allow players to personalise their Caladius Annihilator to suit their preferred army composition and visual style.

Advanced Antigravitic Mobility

The Caladius Annihilator combines the protection and destructive power of a heavily armoured fighting vehicle with the extraordinary mobility afforded by advanced antigravitic propulsion.

Rather than relying upon conventional tracks or wheels, the vehicle employs sophisticated gravitic systems that allow it to move swiftly across the battlefield. This advanced technology reflects the exceptional engineering standards associated with the Legio Custodes and distinguishes their vehicles from the more conventional armoured formations of the Imperium.

Its mobility allows the Caladius Annihilator to support rapidly advancing Custodes warriors, reposition to engage dangerous enemy threats, and provide powerful fire support wherever it is most urgently required.

Combined with its well-armoured chassis, the vehicle represents an exceptionally capable weapons platform, bringing together speed, protection, and devastating offensive potential in a single sophisticated design.

For Warhammer: The Horus Heresy

During the devastating civil war known as the Horus Heresy, the Legio Custodes deployed some of the most extraordinary military equipment available to the Imperium. Their advanced weapons and vehicles reflected their unique position as the Emperor's personal guardians and their access to technological resources unavailable to most other Imperial formations.

For players of Warhammer: The Horus Heresy, the Caladius Annihilator Grav-Tank provides a formidable armoured addition to a Legio Custodes army. Its devastating main weapon and advanced gravitic propulsion make it an imposing companion to Custodian infantry, Dreadnoughts, and other elite war machines.

Its distinctive appearance also helps capture the technological sophistication and magnificent visual identity of the Emperor's household during the Great Crusade and Horus Heresy eras.

For Warhammer 40,000

The Caladius Annihilator can also be fielded as part of an Adeptus Custodes army in Warhammer 40,000, providing a visually impressive heavy support vehicle for the Emperor's elite warriors in the 41st Millennium.

Its imposing turret-mounted weapon, elegant antigravitic chassis, and ornate Imperial styling make it a distinctive addition to armies containing Custodian Guard, Sentinel Guard, Dreadnoughts, and other Custodes units.

For collectors building a comprehensive Adeptus Custodes force, the Caladius Annihilator offers an opportunity to add one of the faction's most formidable armoured vehicles while maintaining the distinctive appearance and technological sophistication associated with the Emperor's personal guard.

An Impressive Modelling and Painting Project

The Caladius Annihilator Grav-Tank offers hobbyists a rewarding vehicle assembly and painting project. Its combination of elegant armour plating, advanced weapon systems, and distinctive Imperial styling provides numerous opportunities for detailed painting and personalisation.

The large armour panels are particularly suitable for smooth metallic finishes, carefully controlled shading, and precise edge highlighting. Traditional Custodes colour schemes featuring rich gold armour, deep red accents, and contrasting metallic components complement the vehicle's ornate design.

Painters can also experiment with alternative Custodes shield host colours, weathering effects, and personalised heraldry to create a vehicle that reflects the character and history of their army.

The imposing Arachnus Blaze Carronade provides an excellent focal point for the miniature, while the hull-mounted weapon options and advanced gravitic components offer additional opportunities for contrasting colours and technical detailing.

Legio Custodes Vehicle Transfer Sheet

Included in the kit is a dedicated Legio Custodes Vehicle Transfer Sheet featuring 210 high-quality waterslide transfers.

These transfers include Custodian symbols, text commemorating locations of great battles, and additional decorative markings that can be applied to the vehicle's armour.

They provide an excellent opportunity to personalise your Caladius Annihilator, represent its distinguished history of service, and add further detail to its magnificent Imperial appearance.

Whether you are expanding an existing Custodes army, assembling an elite armoured contingent for Warhammer: The Horus Heresy, or adding a devastating heavy support vehicle to your Warhammer 40,000 collection, the Adeptus Custodes: Caladius Annihilator Grav-Tank offers an impressive combination of advanced technology, exceptional mobility, and overwhelming firepower.
