Custodes Land Raider – Adeptus Custodes Heavy Assault Transport Proxy

A Custodes Land Raider–style transport represents commitment. This kind of unit exists to do two things extremely well: keep elite infantry alive and force opponents to respect where they’re going. When a transport like this moves up the board, it’s never ignored — because whatever steps out of it next turn is usually game-defining. On the tabletop, heavy transports like this are commonly used to: Deliver elite melee or hybrid units into contested objectives Absorb early fire that would otherwise target infantry Anchor a push into the mid-board Force opponents to screen and reposition defensively Unlike lighter transports, this is a unit you’re comfortable pushing forward. It doesn’t just carry troops — it creates space by existing, soaking attention, and shaping how the game unfolds. Visually, the size and weight of the chassis make its role obvious. It reads as a serious commitment piece, not a disposable delivery system. Why players include units like this Elite armies can’t afford to lose key units before they matter. A heavy transport gives you control over timing — deciding exactly when and where your best units enter the fight.
