One of the greatest deployments of the Legio Custodes outside of the Siege of Terra, the attack on Prospero saw hundreds of Custodians descend upon the Thousand Sons’ home world, led by Constantin Valdor himself. Their brutal assault on the city of Tizca and the Captain-General’s battle against the influence of the warp are chronicled in this new Journal Tactica.

 

This book contains extensive lore about the Legio Custodes and their deployments, alongside a new Cohort Doctrine, a new Legendary Mission, and rules for Adjutorum Sodalities – retinues of specialists to support your Shield Host.

 

The book also contains a Daemons of Tzeentch army list that brings Screamers, Horrors, and more to the battlefields of the Age of Darkness.

I know it's a 'new angle' on Prospero but I'd really prefer to see them swing these journals at battles we haven't seen...

 

An explicitly Tzeentch-themed daemons list is interesting and potentially a pretty sizeable shift from the Ruinstorm though if this is what they're planning to do for the other deities in the future.

So Burning of Prospero but no mention of Space Wolves?

 

*Sad trombone.*

 

Probably because Inferno already covered their contribution at Prospero extensively. This one is more narrow-focused on the Talons' contribution.

 

That it has the subtitle 'The Judgement of Valdor' does leave the door open to them revisiting the Legiones slugfest there I suppose.

To be honest I found the whole preview a little *Sad trombone.*

 

More plastic Custodes is great but I probably would have preferred new or expanded Sisters.

True and I do have a copy of Inferno on my shelf. But I'd always be down for more content for any of the players in their big battles.

 

Or would have been a brilliant time to refresh the Sisters of Silence with a new range but I feel probably too close to the Custodes refresh. I still hope we see them revamped.

Tzeentch Daemons seperate from Ruinstorm is interesting.

We could of had the War in the Web Way. Heres hoping that comes with a Sisters of Silence update.

Hopefully when they update the Sisters of Silence that update is also 40k compatible.

Tzeentch would figure out a way to stay relevant for three different tabletop games. Presumably Khorne would be in a Signus journal, though I would have to wiki-delve a bit which campaigns saw extensive deployments of nurgle and slaanesh daemons.

I’m glad they finally got the sign off to cross ranges again. I better get my Skitarii and Servitors now. 

This would be the tipping point for me playing 3.0, full admech integration into the game to go alongside my mechanicum. 

Daemons I want to see expanded so much in HH so this is great...

 

...even more I want to see the rules for Valdor!

 

And I'd sell my bolt shells for a new plastic model.

 

Ideally I'd enjoy the like the miniature to look more like the art as this pose is menacing and combat oriented:

Absolutely love it.

Preview of what's in the Journal for Loyalists.

 

Adjutorum Sodality is a retinue which includes a Not!Nuncio-Vox, the 40k Blade Champion and a standard bearer who messes with objective scores.

 

The new Solar Auxilia Cohort Doctrine allows them to be taken as allies in a Custodes force and implies there's a way to boost Line at the risk of becoming Stunned There's also a Detachment which lets Custodes run Militia.

 

The colour scheme for the Tzeentch Daemons is pretty sick too:

I really like the color scheme on those daemons. Rules look interesting. In terms of content, a War in the Webway/Siege of Terra journal could have covered the same ground and explored less well-known parts of the Heresy.

If I had to guess, they'll use a War in the Webway Journal to print a 'final' Daemons list which combines the ones they'll have previously presented in other Journals (EG Tzeentch in this one, a Signus Journal which has a Daemons of Khorne list, etc) - maybe/hopefully with some extra goodies for Sisters of Silence - and 'Ruinstorm' will remain as a PDF DIY army in the same vein as Militia. 

 

I think for Nurgle they'll probably have to come up with some OC content (maybe focusing on Typhon's misadventures).

Designer’s notes – Tzeentch Daemons in the Age of Darkness

 

Daemons of Tzeentch can be run as their own army, or as allies to the Ruinstorm. Running them alongside opposed Ætheric Dominions (Nurgle etc) incurs a -2 stat reduction. The Daemons that get rules are:

 

Quote

High Command – Ascendant Lord of Tzeentch       

Command – Herald of Tzeentch       

Support – Flamers of Tzeentch       

Recon – Screamers of Tzeentch       

Troops – Horrors of Tzeentch       

Warlord – Lord of Change   

 

True acolytes of Tzeentch will no doubt be pleased to know that, as the paths of fate diverge, so too can Pink Horrors split into two Blue Horrors upon their demise, via the special Infernal Mitosis Advanced Reaction. 

 

There's an updated version of the Ætheric Incursion Detachment, which the Prosperine Sorcerer can now also use. Solar Auxilia get a second new Cohort Detachment which turns their Command models into Psykers. They also tease covering more Daemons/Dominions in the future.

I doubt there'll be any new Daemon models at all. I don't think current political climes could accept it. 

 

It is a real shame though. I love my daemons. It'd have been an ideal opportunity to introduce a 'heavy infantry' daemon model for each aspect. Maybe they're just not especially popular?

If you're looking for a vaguely Tzeentchian "Heavy Daemon" to soup in from Ruinstorm, there is a good option you can steal from AoS:

Just paint those guys up in the Daemonic colours of your choice and they work pretty well.

Maybe toss a some spare Tzeentchy bits or a Brimstone Horror pair on the base too.
