Glory is fleeting, but obscurity lasts forever. 
Considering also your duty as a warrior you should not waver. Because there is nothing more auspicious for a warrior than a righteous war.

Yeah, I was waiting all day until I realised FW will most likely just release the data sheets tomorrow. Sigh... no custodes, no new sicarans...

I had to give up my warhammer fest ticket due to public transport issues and not owning a car, so I didn't get an early Telemon dreadnought.
So a blank week with no releases will be pretty sad if all they're doing tomorrow is a two week preorder for books.

Why would you get Custodes data sheets? FW has only touched them for 30k so far and we aren't switching to 8th for that.

Unfortunately yeah, doesn't seem like they're doing it. The second imperial book is Guard rather than remaining imperium, and the games workshop index still had the awkward half-assed custodian guard/sentinel guard/shield captain hybrid unit.

It will probably come after the various colors of Astartes get thier own codexes but I think its a given that in 2 years or so the Custodians will get a 40k codex to themselves. And we can probably assume that well get some forgeworld stuff translated to plastic.
The new flyno/grav raider clenches it for me.

Looks like the turret emplacement that Forgeworld stopped selling recently doesn't have rules for 8th ed

Not much of a surprise I guess but a bit of a shame.

So... when FW said they'd be making rules for everything they're currently selling, they decided to ignore the Breacher squad, and when they said they were making their lists, they decided to ignore Tyrant's Legion and the Siege Assault Vanguard?
I'm happy to see that they did a pretty comprehensive list of at least the Marine characters (did they drop any?), but it's bit frustrating that they don't have rules for those lists, esp. since they could be covered pretty quickly-- about as much space as the GSC or CSM cult pages plus like 1-2 spreads for units would have been everything necessary.
edit: also, I thought they promised the Eldar Corsair list, and I only see one unit represented there? I don't know how much the ork and necron lists varied, so can't comment on those...

What if the breachers are simply a weapon option now for another unit listing though? It's possible the models are simply covered under another entry as an option (unlikely, but possible).

Breachers are actually a 30K unit. Or are you thinking of the siege shields for tactical squads from the Badab War marine list?

Tannhauser, the Breacher models were IIRC an option for their zone mortalis, for the siege list tac squad variant, and were the most obvious way to build shield assault units for the Retaliators which never had official models... so, the unit has 2-3 variations in 40k rules that existed before 30k (I don't know if the shield squads the same function in 30k).

Off the top of my head, they dropped Hamath Kraatos, the Minotaurs Devastator Vet Sgt that had the special Heavy Bolter. He doesn't have a current model(it was Event Only despite being in one of the books) but that doesn't seem to matter here since Arkos got 8th Ed rules and he never had a model, limited or otherwise.

It makes sense, the major elements of both lists (tank/dread squadrons and allies IG/ SM, respectively) can now be done without a special list. They're not really worth keeping.

Or you could just write up data sheets for them and get on with it until GW/ FW release something official.

Maybe discuss with your group allowing you to just use the costs in the Chaos Index to add the weapons to a Hellbrute? I mean we basically have all the points costs right there and the way they do it now makes custom units/models even easier than before...

Of course I can, but as an ork player,
again I feel the lack of love for this army:
They kept oop stuff like the plague hulk in line,
and then left a bunch
of the most iconic models from the ork line out of the pool.
I just felt "WHY?"

Fighta and Fighta-Bomba are just the Dakka Jet and either Blitza or Burna bomba now. Only real loss is the ability to take one shot rokkits, which ought to be a thing since the kit can support it.

Does Forgeworld still sell those models? The promise was to provide rules for the models they currently sell, right?

No.
Does the Plague Hulk model figure in the new list?
Yes.
If my memory serves, the picture from the seminar said all models from the FW ork range.

Our eldar and tau friends have everything in line as far as I can tell.
So, I am sorry but I feel quite pissed off as an ork player right now...

Maybe there was enough noise from people to get them to include the Plague Hulk, so much so that they're going to resurrect its moulds or do a new version.

Also its nurgle co release in the starter, and there are pretty good chances he'll get a full release next month or soon after. (Tzaanuary making way for Nurly? Or Nurgust?)
Point being maybe they expect a particular out cry for plague hulks given the current themes. Also If thebork buggy rumours are true and it seems likely since they were always WAAAAYYYYY motr believable than what turned outnto he a pir new old space marine overlords the Orks mau be getting an in depth look in the not too distant future.
Though it still mightly sucks that your stuff wasn't included but there is the silver lining of you guys are gonna get some attention soonish?
