Before the battle, in the Select Combat Patrol and Enhancement step, you must select either the Custodian Wardens unit or the Allarus Custodians unit to include in your Combat Patrol for the battle.  \nCUSTODIAN WARDENS (3 MODELS)  \n■ 1 model is equipped with:  \ncastellan axe.  \n■ 2 models are equipped with: guardian spear.  \nWhen selecting your army for a battle, you will have to choose between this unit and the Allarus Custodians. What the Wardens bring to the table is a higher model count and a greater ability to control and contest objective markers. This does come at the expense of a reduced ranged damage output, however, so which is best will depend on a combination of your objectives and your opponent’s army.  \nWhere they particularly shine is against a more elite enemy force, perhaps one containing a monster or vehicle, where the high damage output of their castellan axe will prove a very powerful tool.  \nTRISTRAEN (1 MODEL)  \n■ This model is equipped with: vaultswords.  \nThe Blade Champion is a whirlwind of death when it comes to melee combat. Thanks to the vaultswords’three different profiles he is able to tailor his attacks perfectly to whatever foe he is facing. It is also important to remember that through the Martial Ka’tah ability, all of those potent weapon profiles can be further augmented, making him a deadly adversary for any opponent.  \nTristraen does not have a Bodyguard unit, however, so make sure to use terrain to your advantage and watch out for enemy sharpshooters.  \nCUSTODIAN GUARD (3 MODELS)  \n■ Every model is equipped with: sentinel blade; praesidium shield.  \nThe Custodian Guard represent a solid, durable unit thanks to their praesidium shields taking them up to a whopping four wounds each. While they might deal less damage than the other units at your disposal, they have the durability they need to hold on to objectives reliably and still go toe to toe with the enemy’s elite units.  \nThey will win most battles of attrition they find themselves in, so you can afford to play more aggressively against most foes.  \nALLARUS CUSTODIANS (2 MODELS)  \n■ Every model is equipped  \nwith: balistus grenade launcher; guardian spear.  \nWhat the Allarus Custodians bring to the table is sheer walking durability with a massive Toughness 7, making them some of the most survivable infantry in the game. Thanks to the Blast ability, their balistus grenade launchers are excellent tools against large units of enemy models. You will have one fewer model if chosen, so weigh your options carefully.  \nRegardless of which unit you choose, it is essential to properly support the Custodian Guard with them. An Adeptus Custodes army works best when used as a focused blade to dismantle one part of your foe’s force at a time. If you try to fight on too wide a battlefront, you may find yourself quickly overwhelmed.  \nCOMBAT PATROL  \nTRISTRAEN’S GILDED BLADES  \nABILITIES  \nThe datasheets required to use Tristraen’s Gilded Blades can be found on the following pages, and are designed exclusively for Combat Patrol games. A unit’s datasheet will list all the abilities it has. This will include a Faction ability – Martial Ka’tah – which is described below.  \nMARTIAL KA’TAH  \nSpecialised disciplines mastered by Custodians over decades if not centuries, each ka’tah equips its practitioner to overmaster any foe in a particular discipline or philosophy. Martial ka’tahs allow the warriors of the Adeptus Custodes to deploy stances, movements, war philosophies and lethal skills that enhance their already terrifying martial prowess and focus it against particular threats.  \nEach time a unit from your army with this ability is selected to fight, select one of the Ka’tah Stances below. Until that unit has finished making its attacks, the selected Stance is active for it and it gains the relevant ability:  \nDacatarai Stance  \nThose Custodians skilled in the Dacatarai Ka’tah","cbCaiq47lVTdrY4n","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiq47lVTdrY4n","pdf",13492101,6,"English","# CUSTODIAN WARDENS (3 MODELS)\n## TRISTRAEN (1 MODEL)\n# CUSTODIAN GUARD (3 MODELS)\n# ALLARUS CUSTODIANS (2 MODELS)\n# COMBAT PATROL\n## ABILITIES\n### MARTIAL KA’TAH\n### Dacatarai Stance\n### Rendax Stance\n## ENHANCEMENTS\n## SECONDARY OBJECTIVES\n### RAISE THE VEXILLAS","[{\"question\":\"How do you choose between Custodian Wardens and Allarus Custodians in this Combat Patrol?\",\"answer\":\"Before the battle, select either the Custodian Wardens unit or the Allarus Custodians unit in the Select Combat Patrol and Enhancement step.
