Marshal Rohr Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 I think the squad size of nine is probably more influenced by the nine cohorts of praetorians in Rome.

Corswain Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 I think GW has actually been pretty clever by putting 5 in the box. Three minimum for a troop choice, one standard bearer and one left over for a "captain" as HQ. Legal Allied detachment straight out of the box. Maximum squad of nine does make things interesting. They're obviously going to be sold in units of five, so what do you do with the left-over guy?

Blindhamster Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Hopefully we'll get some decent/fluffy rules for Valdor (he beat Horus in a duel!) and some Custodes/Sisters HQ's...That Valdor beat Horus thing isn't really a thing. Nobody knows where it came from, there's no source.That being said, I want him in the character series and I want him to make Primarchs sweat. I'm not 100% that he will though. If the Emperor is to the Custodes what the Primarchs are to Space Marines, then where does Valdor fit? He'd be like a Custodian version of a Praetor, I guess. He's the best at what he does, but he's still "just" a Custodian. id guess at: WS BS S T W A I LD 7 5 5 5 4 4 6 10 all the normal custodes rules + fearless, eternal warrior, maybe one or two others. Either a master crafted guardian spear or a unique alternative. Maybe another special rule or two related to dueling/cc the above would mean he's better than sigismund.

Ain't nobody better than Sigismund. Thats why hes lived for 10,000 years and is still alive.

Blindhamster Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 More importantly, it'd mean he could stand a round or two vs a primarchs (particularly if he had a weapon that was actually AP2) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/327116-sisters-of-silence-custodian-guard-rules/page/4/#findComment-4544496 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminus Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 I would say for Valdor just take Sigismund as a base, and give him Custodian buffs? So same WS but +1S/T/A and their standard fancy rules? Eternal warrior, of course.

Corswain Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 I'd like to see some bodyguard rules for Custodes and Valdor. Their main purpose was to be a bodyguard but at the moment they're just soldiers. Maybe a severe leadership reduction if their Warlord is slain? Penalties against infiltrators to represent their security measure? Must include a "command squad"? Lots of things you could do with them really. Valdor, I kinda see as the last line of defense, the last bodyguard standing between the Emperor and his death. It'd be cool if he had some kind of "take you with me" rule allowing him to attack again before removing him as a casualty. That way he has a chance of taking down Primarchs without having a monstrous statline. I don't see him as a commander though, at least not a General, so probably no army buffs. For any of the Custodes really. Their job is to keep people alive, not wage wars.

b1soul Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 I think WS6 like the 40k versions would have been nice instead of BS5. Both 30K and 40K custodians are WS 5 Only the custodian capatain is 6 ... correct?

Terminus Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 I assume we will get rules for a Captain of some sort, so you run Captain + 9 Custodians in a full squad. So buy 10 dudes and assemble one as a character.

Torvak Kyre Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 Now I don't know if I'm being blind or something but I know that in Novembers White Dwarf it was mentioned that we'd be getting 30k rules for Sisters of Silence this month. I'm struggling to find anything of the sort.

Gorgoff Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 It is confirmed that we get Inferno THIS year. I have the leaked picture out of the WD. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/327116-sisters-of-silence-custodian-guard-rules/page/4/#findComment-4569625 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supe robot gangster #1 Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 Now I don't know if I'm being blind or something but I know that in Novembers White Dwarf it was mentioned that we'd be getting 30k rules for Sisters of Silence this month. I'm struggling to find anything of the sort. From what I can gather they are in fact not there. And the line about inferno in December is from when it actually was December, so we now have to wait til Feb for our sisters rules.
