Jetpack Terminator – Adeptus Custodes Heavy Assault Infantry Proxy

A jetpack terminator–style unit represents one of the most aggressive ways Adeptus Custodes can apply pressure on the tabletop: durable elites that arrive exactly where they’re needed. This kind of unit combines two things Custodes players value highly — survivability and timing. Instead of slowly advancing, jet-assisted heavy infantry can threaten key areas immediately, forcing your opponent to screen wider, hold units back, or risk losing important positions. On the table, units like this are typically used to: Apply deep-strike or rapid-reposition pressure Hit backfield or side objectives Support melee pushes with immediate threat Force opponents to respect multiple engagement angles They’re especially effective in games where board control and timing matter more than raw speed. Even a small number of these units can warp deployment and movement decisions from turn one. Visually, the combination of heavy armour and jetpack makes their role obvious: this unit is elite, mobile, and dangerous up close — which helps both players read the board correctly. Why players include units like this Custodes armies win by choosing the right moment to commit. Jetpack terminator-style units give you another way to dictate that moment, rather than reacting to your opponent.
