Ok, I said I would do the Customs Terminators, and I am a man of my word. I will take a photo of their page, and just describe the effects of their wargear and such. I think it's the wargear that's going to make them lethal.

 

Here's the page from the book that covers them:

http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t272/m_r_parker/Events/HH%20Weekender%202017/DCABA347-455C-40DD-BE46-D4F3E47D5026_zps8z9i9slc.jpg

 

Stat wise, they're slightly better than the average Custode, but other squads have better stat lines (specifically the Hetaeron Guard).

 

Their Aquilon Terminator Armour is based on Cataphractii Terminator Armour that has been "redesigned by the mind of the Emperor Himself for His elite forces"... yeah...

Aquilon pattern Terminator Armour is 2+ / 4++ and has Hammer of Wrath. Models in this armour can fire Heavy and Salvo weapons, counting as stationary, even if they have moved in the movement phase. They may also charge after firing Rapid Fire, Heavy or Salvo weapons. They can't Run, but they can make Sweeping Advances and fire Overwatch. That's some pretty decent armour right there.

 

Weapon wise, standard armament is a Lastrum Storm Bolter (24", S:5 AP:4 Assault 2, Heliothermic Detonation) and a Solarite Gauntlet (S:x2 AP:1, Master Crafted, Unwieldy). Solarite Gauntlet can go to a Solarite Talons (S:+1, AP:3,Shred Specialist Weapon, Master Crafted). Storm Bolter can be swapped for TL Adrathic Destructor (12", S:5, AP:2, Assault 1, Instant Death, Armourbane, Gets Hot) or a Infernus Firepike (Template, S:6, SP:6, Heavy 1, Torrent)

Oh, by the way, Heliothermic Detonation on the Lastrum, if a model takes an unsaved wound and is not killed must take an immediate Toughness test or suffer Instant Death. Vehicles suffering a Penetrating Hit add 1 to the result on the damage table.

 

Teleportation Transponders just grant Deep Strike (nice to have on the cheap). Arae-Shrikes are a bit different and have two effects. Enemy models attempting to Deep Strike within 12" must roll a D6 before they determine the result of the Deep Strike - on a 4+ they suffer a Mishap (and this happens for all models, even those that can't Mishap). Plus any unit with a model with a Arae-Shrike targeted by a Barrage weapon, the attacking player must add another D6 to their scatter roll and pick the highest two results. A Hit remains a Hit however.

 

Don't ask me what Misericordia is, I haven't found it yet.

 

These guys are nasty...

For the guys wondering about the Saggitarum Custodes - their guns are dual profile: Heavy Bolters and Disintegration Beam (12" Assault 1, Instant Death, Armourbane, Gets Hot). You can fire the Disintegration Beam as many times as you like, but the squad must fire all the same...

Basically a Primarch -1

Via Garro on FB:

Right, I'm going to cover the talons of the emperor in 3 parts. general army rules, then custodes units, and finally sisters units.

so army wider stuff.

preternatural skill, the sodality, and inviolable psyche are unchanged from their WD rules.

 

custodian armour doesn't give an invuln save, but all units have refractor field so meh.

praesidum shield confers a rerolll to invuln saves (against shooting and in combat), but doesn't give a 4+ anymore, just a -1 to hit them while in combat.

custodes terminator armour

2+/4++, relentless, can't run but can overwatch and sweeping advance

all custodes infantry can by teleportation transponders

Vexilla can be taken 1 per squad, confers fear, reroll failed leadership tests, and +1 to combat resolution to all friendly units within 12" (doesn't stack for multiples)

new wargear option called "arae-shrikes" any enemy unit attempting to deepstrike within 12" of a model with one of these (before scatter) must roll a d6, on a 4+ it suffers a mishap, even if it has rules otherwise (internal guidance systems etc). also causes barrage weapons fired against the squad to roll 3d6 scatter taking the highest.

guardian spear has 3 versions, plain, melta and Adrathic

custodes can have paragon spear (paragon blade meets guardian spear)

cusodes have access to solarite power gaunlets and talons (what imperial fists have, with a lightning claw version)

Adrathic weapons are a set of guns

str5-6 ap, instant death, armourbane, gets hot

adrastus bolt caliver (what the new 'bolter' guys have on the cover)

two versions

concemtrated 48" str8 ap1 1shot, exoshock

sisters of silence

two levels of psychic nulling, best bits reserved for elites and HQs won't go into it here, too much.
