reckoning Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 Can someone provide a source or really any info on Custodes PA? Specifically how it functions without the need for an external power plant such as the one that accompanies every mark of armor the Astartes equip. I love the built in power pack look the new Custodes models are sporting and am curious if the technology has been explained.

Son of Carnelian Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 Something something Emperor's finest craftsmen something something. Seriously, I think it's just that the technology for the internal power can't be replicated on a mass scale for whatever reason. Maybe the materials to make it are in short supply (unlikely, there is a whole galaxy out there) or perhaps the armor itself is from an STC that can only be crafted by senior adepts of the Machine God (more likely, as they are a superstitious bunch even in 30k).

Tyriks Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 What I can find is two points: first, the armor is bigger and so would have room to incorporate more in the armor itself; and second, the armor is a higher quality than Space Marine power armor and so components like that can be made more efficiently and therefore shrunk down. But I can't find any explicit explanation. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/327619-custodes-armor/#findComment-4555666 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grotsmasha Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 Although not helpful right now, I'm sure we'll see those details when FW fluffs the Custodes.

deathspectersgt7 Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 Seeing that these are Ground Breaking Models .And only bits and pieces of fluff since the beginning of our little Universe. I can see more fleshed out info is on the way. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/327619-custodes-armor/#findComment-4556033 Share on other sites More sharing options...
reckoning Posted November 7, 2016 Author Share Posted November 7, 2016 I figured it was a case of waiting for FW to do their job. Just curious if there was anything I was missing, couldn't find much on the Google machine. Thanks for the replies.

Just curious if there was anything I was missing, couldn't find much on the Google machine. Thanks for the replies. Having had a closer look at the models, aesthetically they look like the Cataphractaii and Tartaros do, so being that the Custodes are of similar size, I think that it will end up being a premium version of the Terminator tech.
