The Custodian Venatari are one of the warrior-castes within the Adeptus Custodes and are jump infantry equipped with winged jump packs known as Auramite Pinions.[1]
Often referred to as the Emperor's ‘Hunting Eagles’, the Venatari are specialists in neutralizing any threats to him, from amidst the sprawling towers and spire-tops of the Imperial Palace[1]. Vaunted as a high honour among the Legio Custodes, the role of Custodian Venatari is reserved for a scant few veterans of the Blood Games, with the proven skill to master the rare and sophisticated flight system and archaeotech weapons Venatari wield.[2]
In battle, Custodian Venataris dual wield a Tarsus Buckler and archaeotech Kinetic Destroyer as well as plasma and krak grenades. Some also go into battle with a close-ranged Venatari Lance. For protection, they wear auramite armour reinforced with refractor fields.[1]
