Slips Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Id wager on Spartans and Land Raiders, yeah. But I doubt we'll be seeing any Super Heavies. Not quite sure if they'd deploy with Drop Pods; so maybe no Kharybdis or others. Caestus, not quite sure either. I see them more as...well...Grey Knights, really. But better.

Fire Golem Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Yeah that's how I picture them, like I said before before I knew more about the Heresy I thought the Custodes were like the pre Heresy Grey Knights. Are they Psykers like GK? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slips Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 No, they shouldn't be. Couple that with their close proximity to the Sisters of Silence and well, them being psykers would be useless when working with them. Though it brings up the question of how the Emperor is able to tolerate blanks in his immediate area.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire Golem Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Oh yeah, I didn't think of that haha. So like GK in terms of eliteness and combat prowess (probably better), but not Psykers. So I reckon they'll have their fancy rhino, land raider, Spartans, Dreadnoughts, maybe Stormeagles? Some kinda flying transport I'd imagine. Jetbikes? And good point about Empy and the Sisters... I think they didn't think that one through :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daemon2027 Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 On the subject of blanks near to the big E, I think he is to powerful to be effected. I mean at the end of Wolf Hunt Malcador turns up with some Sisters and can still use his powers and I would say he is number 2 on the list of most powerful homo-psyker's. Also stop giving me ideas...

Slips Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Jetbikes are more or less confirmed for Custodes since there is a piece of artwork with them on one. plus you could practically make a full Jetbike legion list if you really wanted only downside being the troop slots. So I don't see why they wouldn't get them. And I guess Demon is right. The big E is so psychically powerful that he overpowers the blanks null field, same with Malcador.

Fire Golem Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 That makes sense I guess, but they used them against Magnus, who I imagine was approaching the big E in terms of psychic power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One-eye Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 They mainly used them against Thousand Sons, to have a counter at the scale of an army with lot pf psykers. I don't think it was purposedly against Magnus himself (even if it might help) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phalanx Warder Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 3 custodes a squad but can be 4" apart Maybe something like the Contemptor Talon rules: must deploy in unit but are considered individuals from then on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire Golem Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 I think they'd have to be pretty powerful to cope on their own with no unit around them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyaenidae Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 So, more food for thought (the only thing I'm more addicted to than Custodes are Thunder Warriors...)

Marshal Rohr Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Personally, I think we will see Custodes on the field with similar stat lines to legionaries, but with much better wargear and weapons. Also, from the way they've been doing the legions, I'd imagine you'll see unit entries to match the artwork. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
depthcharge12 Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 I am wholly prepared to throw money at whoever makes those custodes terminators. ESPECIALLY that one with the mega burninator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slips Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 The head pieces on those terminators look like Psychic hoods :\ its the one thing about that particular piece that I dont like....

Fire Golem Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Custodes are in the Prospero book yeah? Must...resist...Custodes.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slips Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Yes they are; so will Sisters of Silence and rather obviously the Thousand Sons. All three of which ( I don't like the Space Wolves at all; I can appreciate them, but I don't like them) will leave me hard pressed to collect at the same time... BUT I SHALL PERSEVERE! on that note; the only legions/ imperial factions you are likely to see me not collect are : Dark Angels, Space Wolves, Word Bearers Sons Of Horus and Dark Mechanicum. They are the only ones I cannot get behind in any way, shape or form. But thats neither here nor there. BACK TO THE CUSTODES! http://images.wikia.com/warhammer40k/images/archive/d/d6/20120111024537!SagittarusDreadnought.jpg http://media.moddb.com/cache/images/groups/1/3/2055/thumb_620x2000/604px-Custodianjetbike.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire Golem Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Like me, the only ones I wouldn't touch are probably Space Wolves, Dark Angels and Iron Hands... The Thousand Sons are gonna be rather hard to resist when that book comes out but by then I might be in a position to collect them. But anyway... Custodes...

Slips Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Yeah Custodes... So; basing their wargear off the artwork, I guess it would be safe to assume that the majority, if not all, of the Custodes will come standard with True Grit since their ranged weapon is integrated into their Melee Weapon. They'll probably have +1A base over Legionnaires to exemplify their familiarity with such weaponry and the advantage it can bring in combat. Sisters of Silence I just want them to be suped-up Death Cult Assassins with some toned-down Culexus Assassin Rules. Maybe a Psi ML3 or Lower negation bubble? That way Chars with ML4 (eldrad, Magnus and Big E) would not be handicapped by them; as we've ascertained with them Emperor giving Zero F's about the SoS's in his personal space. Though, that has yet to be expanded upon in writing so it might actually change. Ps: Thousand Sons were to be my third Legion before the World Eaters interjected themselves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daemon2027 Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 I feel a bit sad for this picture, no one has posted it: Ok, it's in a different style to the older pics, but look at the features, more human, and the cloak on left figure, if I was to make an Ultramarine, he would have a cloak like that.

Russ Brother 92 Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 I was thinking giving them Deny the Witch on 3+? Or a tiered bubble, so a ML1 would be blocked completely, ML2 would be -2 warp charge (or DTW on 2+), ML3 would be -1 warp charge and DTW on 3+ and ML4 would -1 warp charge and DTW on 4+? Obvs all within a certain range (say 12"?) - this gives them a chance against psychic beasts like Eldrad, Lorgar transfigured and the likely Cyclops rules whilst not being op vs them. It also keeps them fluffy as they only affected the enemy psychers they were in close proximity to - this is for SoS. I like that pic (it's Valdor and a random Custodian iirc) it was either a pre-release cover or a genuine hardback cover but I can't remember which book aha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daemon2027 Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 It's the cover of Imperial Truth, a LE gamesday release from last year. I like the view of the Palace and the orbital plate in the background. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
