  • the custodes are part of the ‘talons of the emperor’ army list which will include the sisters of silence and other non-astartes or mechanicum agents that the emperor sends to prospero, this list is purely themed to what was at prospero, but will be more than usable in regular gaming. each of the factions in the list will ‘probably’ be span off into seperate full size lists over the rest of the books.
  • the custodes element will be fully sized enough to be able to play a regular game without being restrictive. this will include vehicles (can’t wait for the ‘gift of the emperor’).
  • valdor is coming as their named character and is being considered alongside the primarchs in importence, (so probably being held for simon egan to do)
  • expect to see the full selection of units seen in the artwork. jetbikes, terminators, dreads and breachers alongside the basic spear guys.
  • they have ALL THE BLING

 

 

 

and earlier infos we got at the HH weekender:

Custodians are their own elite force, not like Space Marines 2.0! The Emperor saved the Custodes the best toys so look forward to heavy master weaponry. It's a highly lethal mobile force. They were designed to kill Space Marines if something goes wrong. 100% loyal to the Emperor, even beyond free will.

 

Playtest - 5 Custodians against 20 Tactical Marines, none of the Tacs were alive to fight back in combat!!! Not the full rules im sure - again, it's still playtesting.

 

Custodes will not have Rhinos and Land Raiders they will have their own vehicle types though and no heavy support but they will have an equivalent

 
Sisters of Silence will not be a "full force".

 

Sisters of Silence almost like Assassins hunting down all psykers.

 

 
So, who is hyped now :)?

Wait, dreads and breachers too? Colour me intrigued.

Well, they always had dreads in their art

Hey, I know that guy.

...tease.

(Does that happen often? You see a pic from the CCG or whatever of a custodes kickflipping off a traitor and think 'gonna write that exact thing'?)

Custodes 'breachers' are the ones with the shields from the hands of the emperor picture. We've always known exactly what we would be getting. It's not exactly news or rumors since it's been out there since mid 2000's. Same with sisters of silence. I just hope they actually include the psyker hunter dogs too.

Designed to kill marines..

 

Uff.. actually I hate that marines die myke nothing in the game, I can't say I'm happy that there will be another way to kick 3+ right of the board. Guess it will be something like 2+ regular and 2+/3++ on terminators plus some fancy s5 ap2 attacks on ini as base.

 

They are better expensive as hell.

 

But otherwise.. I will gladly gun them down. If I learned anything from guard, than that you can't do a thing against shooting rather than roll save dices. Sometimes two swords are better than a sword and a shield.

 

Game wise, low model count is nothing nice in HH, where only troops can hold. And putting expensive CC troops on objectives is really no good idea. Guess we will rather see them as allies or such. If they don't get a rather obvious rule where anything has objective secured. Hell, will be funny to drown them in levys.

 

Modelwise.. thanks to AoS I'm not able to see any more golden armour. God, there will be an awefull lot of stormcast eternal conversions. The Terminators will be ace in optic and I guess anything else might be too, but to me they will lack character, history and versatility compared to the legions.

 

I'm way more interested in Sisters of Silence. Remind me so much of my beloved Dirz from Confrontation :D

I'm quite excited at the prospect of seeing my beloved Sisters of Silence. Assuming they look up to the task they might make a nice replacement for the current Adeptus Sororitas range.

 

But, since we're getting Custodes/Sisters, I assume some unit and character rules for the Space Wolves/Thousand Sons can't be far behind.

Theyre in the same book so I hope the rules are found together in the same book at release!

 

The models are subject to the regular delays.
