Allarus Custodians wear Allarus pattern Terminator armour, a version of Tactical Dreadnought armour crafted for the Custodes. It is driven by magnatomic generator-shrines and articulated with Leonus-class actuators. It is made of layered auramite and adamantium, and the official description says its worth can be measured in worlds.
Unlike most Terminator armour, Allarus suits give the wearer an exceptional range of movement and near-unencumbered speed. A Custodian in Allarus armour can fight with the same grace he shows in lighter armour while being almost unstoppable.
Allarus Custodians are used as elite strike teams. They teleport behind enemy lines to strike at commanders, warlords and key positions, so that the enemy army is decapitated before it can react.
Allarus Terminator Armour is the Custodes' heaviest infantry harness. It is a pattern of Terminator armour reserved for the Emperor's guardians and used for the most dangerous missions, especially boarding actions and assaults into enemy strongholds. Allarus Custodians are trained to operate deep behind enemy lines in small teams, and the armour can teleport them directly into the heart of battle.
Allarus Terminator Armour is the pattern of Tactical Dreadnought Armour worn by the Allarus Custodians. It gives the wearer greater speed, strength and resilience, and is said to let him walk unharmed out of a macrocannon blast. With the Emperor's blessings it is arguably the most effective man-portable armour in the Imperium. A Balistus grenade launcher is mounted on the left forearm. It fires concussion grenades that burst with electro-exorcist chaff and blinding light and sound.
