ThePenitentOne Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 So the WD SoS dex was weak, and yeah, we have to wait until February, but we are getting an SoS character: https://www.warhammer-community.com/2019/11/10/black-library-weekender-2019-the-reveals/ Don't know if she'll be HQ, but odds are good. And the Agents Dex might be released with her.

.Torch. Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 Valerian is a Shield Captain in the book, but Aleya is just a normal Sister. Although without dropping spoilers, it's not too unfeasible to imagine her getting a promotion. Time will tell, February is a fair way away yet. Sculpts are a bit static. Would of liked something along the lines of the cover of the 2nd book.

Chaoself Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 I like her. She will be a part of my sisters of silence Army. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/359803-new-sos-character-custodes-character-in-february/#findComment-5423290 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sete Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 Could be good news for a Talons list. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/359803-new-sos-character-custodes-character-in-february/#findComment-5423328 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagicHat Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 The video calls her Knight-Centura Aleya, that is an officer rank within the sisterhood.

.Torch. Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 Yeah, I noticed she had a title in the video. But I took it with a pinch of salt as they also said Valerian was a newbie to the Custodes, which isn't entirely true. Hopefully she will be a HQ by herself. I can see them being a single HQ choice together, which would be cool, but I'm not sure how it would work game wise.

I can see them being a single HQ choice together, which would be cool, but I'm not sure how it would work game wise. That would probably only work with a common Talons keyword. It would make no sense to combine them as an Imperium unit. Makes me hopeful for more expansive rules next year.

FelipeFlops Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 So, anyone else feel like Valerian's head is really off somehow?

Waking Dreamer Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 ^ Heroic scale, and at that angle looks like his head sits right on top of the chest without room for his neck.

dice4thedicegod Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 Yeah, no neck and looks bigger than a “normal” custodes head. I like the idea of this release, both custodes and sisters need more named HQs. But the models are meh. I’m thinking I’ll use ‘counts-as’ instead of no-neck Christopher walken.

BaconCouch Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 I really want SOS to be worth taking so I can run them with my Custodes, but all things considered, they are nice models. Good amount of detail to them.

TorvaldTheMild Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 I like Valerian's head, I think they nailed it. The position is fine if you look at other Custodes models, many of them have their heads low down like that. He is pushing his shoulders up, naturally your chest also lifts when you do that. I think the hair and the laurel makes his head look bigger. Also his face is straight forwards but his body is at an angle so his face looks at its widest and the armour at a smaller angled profile.

gil galed Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 They're both fine, although cost wise I imagine it'll be £££ and i'd probably prefer to just make them both from the boxes. Neither is special enough really, although I suppose it is just a Shield Captain and line SoS Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/359803-new-sos-character-custodes-character-in-february/#findComment-5424730 Share on other sites More sharing options...

dice4thedicegod Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 The model doesn’t look very different to a standard greatsword armed sister, so I’d think just a slightly different paint job applied to a “normal” sister should do fine.

Mainely Wargamming Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Anyone wanna talk about how his head is stupidly big, and we (Custodes) don't really need a new Shield Captain character that uses a spear? Reading up on his lore, he lost in the Blood Games, badly. Can't we just get a Justicar or a Psycher please?

TorvaldTheMild Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 He never lost the blood game, he wasn't the one playing evading, he killed the CSM trespasser during the game, he failed at being able to pass the gate to become one of the custodians. We have a shield captain with a all options, we don't have 'any' shield captain characters, so yeah we need one with a spear and Valerian is badass. Custodes don't have any psykers nor will they ever.

dice4thedicegod Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 A named character would be great A way to have characters with fixed 3 damage weapons would be greater That head being smaller would be greatest Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/359803-new-sos-character-custodes-character-in-february/#findComment-5425166 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prot Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 Watchers is great... actually so far all of the fiction is great. I will get the figs, and especially the book... but I can't see using Valerian. I just don't have room for him. If he were on a bike? Maybe.
