FW admitted they neglected some book 2 and 3 legions model wise Siege Tyrants are in the works and the moritat model should be available by the HH weekender. Specialist games has been more successful than GW imagined. Titanicus pushed back to Q2 or Q3 to allow for all the basic titans to be released at once Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/329340-new-custodes-transport-open-day-sneak-peeks/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forward Assist Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Any idea of how that scales up against transports like the Spartan?

helterskelter Posted December 31, 2016 Author Share Posted December 31, 2016 Well it's mounted on a flyer Base and it overhangs some. You got any to hand to line-up against it?

Frater Cornelius Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Land Raider-ish size I would say. I hope it is an assault transport. A buddy and myself have tried the leaked 30k Custodes. The conclusion was that they suck compared to the 40k ones and that they are too slow. Maybe this thing fixes it.

Cryptix Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 So there's the Grav-Land Raider. Hopefully they do a character soon for my Knight Bloohound allies.

Withershadow Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 I don't see how this thing can be an assault transport. The front hatch looks big enough for a pilot, and the side thingies are the grav engines. Do they drop from the underside? That would be weird...

Slips Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 The rear hatch we aren't seeing in the pic obviously. Ramp doesnt have to face forward to be an assaulr vehicle (ref: Stormbird) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/329340-new-custodes-transport-open-day-sneak-peeks/#findComment-4608366 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vogon Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 Love it. Transport capacity will be interesting there doesn't seem a whole lot of room in there once you take the engines off. It looks like 2017 may be an expensive year.

helterskelter Posted January 1, 2017 Author Share Posted January 1, 2017 I'd speculate it's like a razorback for custodes so at most it could carry 6, given squad sizes are 3-9, then again given angle of photography this thing could be more beastly than we can see. We'll find out tomorrow is it?

Frater Cornelius Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Well damn, those Contemptors are smexy. They seem like a mirror of the two Custodes variants. Too bad the actual Custodes suck doney balls with their 30k ruleset. The 40k variants are pretty decent though.

SkimaskMohawk Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Right now they're bad because they have no transport to get them to melee and are apparently using a previous version of the rules. The transport solves part of that problem, the dreads and speeder can shore up the other until Inferno is released. On the whole though? the 30k rules are pretty equivalent to 30k; spears are extremely killy on the charge and are comparable to any Legion specific terminators, while shields are very good at tar pitting and are better than normal stormshields in melee. the 40k rules are a mirror to the gongshow 40k is Also I'm pretty sure the transport is on a knight base, not a flyer one.

Frater Cornelius Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 With 2A in melee? C'mon. Almost any Legion-specific Terminator unit will wipe the floor with them Oo Having said that, I love the 3" coherency rule to show the individualism of the Custodes.

depthcharge12 Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 I love that Speartemptor! :) Does anyone know if the grav generating hull booms are separate from the cabin? They'd be useful to make a grav raider conversion that I wanted like yesterday.

Unless their rules are drastically altered what we've seen thus far is utterly rubbish.

Marshal Rohr Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Anyone else think the Martian basing on the Custodes is a sign of a Mars Black Book in the near future?

IronDrake28 Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 The Custodes' rules in 30k are worse than in 40k, but are more interesting to me. I have to say, the vehicles are growing on me... Didn't think it would happen.

Fenbain Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 I'm confused as to why the rules are seen as worse in 30k. They might not have consistent AP2, but that is generally less common anyway right? They don't have an assault transport yet but that will be remedied in February. Then they have a built-in invulnerable save, as well as being able to shoot and assault, which the 40k version can't do. Seems fairly even and balanced to me. What am I missing?
