Banner Bearer – Adeptus Custodes Command Support Proxy

A banner bearer–style unit exists to make the rest of your army better. In Adeptus Custodes forces, these models aren’t about kills — they’re about positioning and influence. A banner planted in the right place turns nearby units from tough into oppressive, helping them hold objectives longer, push harder, or survive turns they otherwise wouldn’t. On the tabletop, banner bearers are usually used to: Anchor the centre of the board Support elite infantry holding objectives Strengthen pushes into contested areas Act as a visual and tactical focal point for your army Because Custodes lists are small, every aura matters. A banner bearer rewards careful placement and movement, and opponents quickly learn to respect where its influence reaches. Visually, the banner does an important job: it makes command units immediately recognisable. In elite armies where everything looks important, clear hierarchy keeps games smooth and readable. Why players bring banner units They don’t win games on their own — they help everything else win. Banner bearers turn good positioning into great turns.
