Pallas Grav-Attack – Adeptus Custodes Fast Skimmer Proxy

A Pallas-style grav-attack skimmer fills a role Custodes armies often need: something fast enough to matter early without overcommitting elite infantry. On the tabletop, units like this are all about tempo. They pressure flanks, tag objectives before slower units arrive, and force your opponent to react sooner than they’d like. They don’t need to survive forever — they need to be annoying at exactly the right moment. Common uses during games include: Early objective grabs and screening Harassing light units and backfield assets Forcing opponents to split fire away from infantry Creating movement problems with speed and angles Because Custodes armies are small, every distraction counts. A fast skimmer like this buys space and time for your main force to advance and score. Visually, the low profile and aggressive stance help it read clearly as a fast attack piece, not a main battle tank — which matters when both players are judging threat priorities. Why players include units like this Elite armies can struggle with mobility. A Pallas-style unit gives you a tool to play the mission early, instead of waiting for turn three to matter.
