Kenzaburo Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 They've updated the psychic awakening faction picture to include everyone: It is the corrected factions overview from the NOVA Open seminar for upcoming rules in the Psychic Awakening campaign. While the eagle is a standard Custodes symbol, the AC logo is still the Imperial "I" with the raptor head and lightning bolts, right? That ealge got lightning bolts for talons - so, are we getting the Talons back? Or is this just wild speculation on my part and too far fetched?

MeatGrinder Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 Pretty sure thats just the custodes one. What rules we are going to get with regards to psychic awakening is beyond me, considering we have no psykers.

rcoon Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 considering we have no psykers. This was my thought as well. Utterly confused me unless they intend on finally baking in SoS with Custodes.

MARK0SIAN Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 I really hope they do add sisters of silence into the Custodes units. This seems like a good opportunity to do so.

+Chaplain Matthias+ Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 I was more excited for the =][= in the top right but then I realized with the skull and crossbones, it's just Deathwatch. I want my inquisitorial retinues back!

Kargrym Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 As I play Deathwatch as well as Custodes, I can tell you that the Deathwatch is the last icon on first row. Custodes are the second icon on the second row, best I can tell. As a person with 30 Sister of Silence, I would love them to finally add them to the Custodes Codex and bring back the Talons of the Emperor.

noigrim Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 Custodes, they have it in their greaves Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/358019-is-this-the-official-custodes-symbol-or-are-these-talons/#findComment-5378271 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenzaburo Posted September 3, 2019 Author Share Posted September 3, 2019 They might have it on their greaves, but my Custodes dice, that I bought from GW, show the imperial "I" with a Rapor head and lightning bolts. This one: https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/warhammer40k/images/0/09/Adeptus_Custodes_Icon2.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20140614015312 That's why I wonder since when it was the more rounded eagle with lightning bolts for talons. Doesn't seem right. Might be another mess-up from the community team tho (which sounds more like a slight than it's intended to be).

Kinstryfe Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 Iirc the rounded (Palatine) Aquila clutching thunderbolts is the personal sigil of The Emperor, so it's very likely that in this case it's used for the Custodes. Admittedly it's almost equally applicable to the Silent Sisterhood, but given they're not really a full faction I doubt it's a nod to them. Unless I'm wrong, which would be awesome because the SoS are great.

They're supposed to be WITH the Custodes I’d love if: - sisters could be taken in detachments with Custodes - Custodes/Talons got a slight buff if they are pure Talons (no soup). Not too big, just a “shock assault “ equivalent maybe, so we can keep our distance from marines.
