The Draxus Exterminatus is the 4th Company’s definitive answer to any threat — a full 2000-point Adeptus Custodes Strike Force running the Lions of the Emperor detachment. This list leans heavily into the golden wall of Custodian Guard backed by devastating Caladius firepower, with Inquisitor Draxus himself leading the charge.

The Philosophy: Thirty Custodian Guard form six squads of five, each carrying four Guardian Spears alongside one Praesidium Shield and Sentinel Blade. This gives every squad both the ranged punch and melee lethality of the Guardian Spear while maintaining a durable shield bearer to absorb incoming fire. The sheer volume of 4+ invulnerable saves across the board makes this list incredibly resilient.

Armoured Support: Three Caladius Grav-tanks provide the heavy firepower backbone. Each carries a Twin Arachnus Heavy Blaze Cannon and Twin Lastrum Bolt Cannon — devastating against both vehicles and heavy infantry. Their grav-tank mobility means they can reposition to support whichever flank needs firepower most.

Sisters of Silence: Three squads of Prosecutors serve as the list’s utility pieces. Their anti-psyker aura is invaluable against Thousand Sons, Grey Knights, or Tyranid Synapse creatures, while their boltguns provide chip damage and objective-holding capability at a bargain 40 points per squad.

The Warlord — Inquisitor Draxus: Kyria Draxus brings Dirgesinger, her exotic Jokaero-crafted weapon, alongside a Power Fist and Psychic Tempest. As an Allied unit, she slots in at just 95 points while providing invaluable psychic support and character-hunting capability. Her re-roll auras and interrogation abilities make her a force multiplier that punches well above her cost.
