K3nn3rs Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Found this on Battle Bunnies and thought I'd share: https://www.games-workshop.com/resources/PDF/Datasheets/Burning%20of%20Prospero%20Imperial%20Datasheets.pdf 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.

Slips Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 40k Rules, has no real bearing on 30k. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/327116-sisters-of-silence-custodian-guard-rules/#findComment-4540141 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hesh Kadesh Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 Loving the Custodes, although a little gutted at the lack of Invulnerable with Guardian Spears (although understandable).

Prodigal Son of Magnus Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 So SOS can take +1S AP2 blades for free. That means a 15 point model is swinging twice ignoring armor at S4. This must be an oversight. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/327116-sisters-of-silence-custodian-guard-rules/#findComment-4540443 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terminus Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 And at I5 so even before Suzerain. Yikes, could really throw the current Legion balance out of whack with only loyalists having buckets of at initiative AP2 weapons that work all the time.

Gorgoff Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 Yeah, only the butt ugly models for Sisters of Silence will balance that. ;) But as we all know most nerds are simply men.

Terminus Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 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.

helterskelter Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 In 30k what we do have is rad nades, that'll make sisters quick to deal with.

Jimm Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 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!

Sandlemad Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 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.

noigrim Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 Just went to the local GW, they told me two things: sisters & custodes are only fieldable as unbound and if you made a preorder they sent you the 30k rules, anyone could be so good as to post them if it's ture?

StruManChu Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 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.

Unknown Legionnaire Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 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.

K3nn3rs Posted October 22, 2016 Author Share Posted October 22, 2016 I'm happy withe models but competly agree on the strength of the SoS for their points (and I'm a loyalist!).

Sonoftherubric21 Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 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.

K3nn3rs Posted October 22, 2016 Author Share Posted October 22, 2016 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.

Prodigal Son of Magnus Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 I think the Sisters are fine without the free swords but with them it's silly.

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.
