Smoke and a pancake?

I think it's smoke and a pancake....

Like the bikes and the Pallas. Telemon is a bit... I dunno, same I had with the Achillus, think I prefer the resin.

[GenerationTerrorist]

Nice. I want.

[Matcap86]

Also curious to see if the big giant Warhammer 40k logo on the box will placate the people yelling about these models being restricted to 30k

Makes sense for the custodes stuff to be the same in 40k and 30k but I do think everything else should stay in legends or Heresy only.

[Xirix]

The Telemon is so good, I wonder if they'll ever consider making a Legion version, since Custodes and the Legions both have Contemptors.

[Robbienw]

Like the adratjicbweapon on the Telemon, I feel the resin Telemon body is better though, the decorative tassels and shoulders swirls on the plastic are a bit overdone by comparison.  Is nice though.

 

Pallas is solid, Gyrfalcon bikes really nice.

[Lathe Biosas]

Stupid Pallas Grav-Attack. 

 

I always wanted one, but it wasn't very good and really expensive resin for what it was...

 

Now I'll be able to afford it! This ruins everything! 

 

 

(Maybe there's hope for the Sagittarius?)

So, when the 40k Codex drops. Will these be legends?

Apparently they're 100% useable for 40K and will be getting fully supported, according to the stream.

Them being both heresy and 40k models on the box suggests the opposite - it seems much likely they will be in the codex rather than just a pdf. Indeed you might want to look at page 2 and 4 of the 11th edition custodes launch PDF - the telemon and the (likely to be made into plastic) aquilon terminators are mentioned by name in strats!

Essentially they've figured out the way to sell Custodes as a 40k army is to just make the 30k army be the 40k army, with the added benefit of 40k players paying 30k prices for the army.

So are we expecting the current 40k range to be phased out/replaced with the 30k stuff? Im not up to date with the 40k side of the Custodes, but its looking like it will be one range for both systems.

Probably, seeing as for most of the army a  brand new 30k kit just got released, but te stuff with no equivalent will probably stay.

Considering the last "40k style" Custodes model got memed on for looking like a Squat, I presume when the Custodes 11th Ed codes rolls around they'll drop a new HH Custodes thing to go with it (maybe another Shield Captain with a different loadout?).

[Lathe Biosas]

When the codex is released, we will probably see a change in the way Custodian Guard are used. 

 

I'm guessing that the mix and match units will no longer be a thing, as the models are sold either as spears or as sword/shield.

 

Also, I haven't seen anything about a resculpt of the Wardens, who will look out of place.

[Castellan Wulfrik]

40k and HH. I really hope this means the beginning of the end for the weird specialist games-main studio relationship. We did just see a whole new range of Warriors of Chaos to compete with Chaos Warriors though  so this is probably not going to be a consistent thing. I just hope we see more crossover ranges like this with Daemons, and more 40K rules support for units like contemptors. 

[Robbienw]

I really hope they keep the previous infantry models available so people can just choose which type they want.  I’ve had time to get used to the new ones now and I really still don’t like them.
