Found this on Battle Bunnies and thought I'd share:

What do you think?

 

As pointed out by Slips, appears to be for just 40K - should hopefully gives us a flavour for the 30K rules though.

Eh, the face masks are kind of weird in that they seem to be missing the lower part of their face, and the ponytails are a bit cheesy (I'm considering building mine as full-on bald chicks), but I think they just need a proper paintjob.  I guess depends if you enjoy the Dark Eldar/Elf aesthetic or not.

as far as 40k rules go I can see SOS making a big impact. ap2 at i5 and a psyker nul zone is amazingly good vs some armies. 

 

as far as 30k and from a WB point of view i hope FW tone them down which i'm sure they will to some degree. 

 

better get my volkite culverins built!

What we did get from the description though, was a clear division of 30k squad types into Vigilators (swordmaidens), Prosecutors (Bolter-wielders) and Witchseekers (flamers). So that's three unit types right there.

Yupp, 40k rules for 30k stuff often are dumbted down a lot, so that the kids won't get confused.

Sisters are unbelievably cheap for their potential, but they're squishier than Marines to shooting. Sniper Vets with Heavy Bolters would mince them.

 

Custodes are beasts, but they're Fearless, so you could potentially tie them up in combat for a good amount of time with a cheap Contemptor Cortus.

Gods ... those girls are totally out of balance: 2 AP2 attacks per model at initiative, plus the psychic abomination rule which negates AoE in 12'' and makes psykers harness WC on 6's only and bestows -3 LD. 

Seriously ?

 

If they're anything like that in their (future) 30k incarnation they'll seriously mess with my warp cult list.

 

The models (Custodians and Sisters) are ... underwhelming. So there's rejoicing for my traitor heart.

I dont really get the fear, they are obviously undercosted by a tiny bit and nasty when arriving, but they are still T3/3+ save. 

Seems like a basic marine with a bolter would do the job just fine, or hey volkite ;-)  

Also did anyone notice the custodes DO NOT have grenades?  Interesting note. 

I'm not sure it's fear but for as little as 85pts you can add a very nasty counter assault unit which cuts through 2+.

 

As you say they are easily dealt with but as they're so cheap I'd be very happy if my opponent uses their firepower to destroy such a cheap squad.

 

I can also see them severely effecting WB armies using certain combos, again for a very cheap price.

 

Time & the 30K rules will tell how broken they are.

Just went to the local GW, they told me if you made a preorder they sent you the 30k rules, anyone could be so good as to post them if it's ture?

My buddy preordered and did not recieve any 30k rules. He then asked on the FB page and was told the upcoming WD would have "get-you-by" rules for Custodes. Assuming that means full rules won't drop until Inferno kind of like Russ.
