Just... no.

I need those Termies, 3 will probably be just fine right now considering I cant use them in 40k and I havent played 30k with my Custodes yet.

I'm actually okay with the price of the custodes Terminators. They are actually quite a bit larger than a Space Marine terminators. Proportionally, they are to normal custodes what terminators are to space marines.

Gotta say, not feeling the Custodes Terminators at all - and I generally really like the Custodes Aesthetic. They just aren't nearly as appealing as the normal ones.

Loving the Custodes Terminators - LOVE THEM!

I'll get around to picking them up eventually.

All of the 30K Custodes stuff has been fantastic...

I have 5 Velard Custodes. I'll be ok for now.

They seem to be obliterator sized

would be cool for a EC conversion

Weren't Prosecutors released last week, too? Correct me if I'm wrong, of course.

It was just the Rogue Idol last week.

The title was "Sisters Of Silence Prosecutors" from 8/02 to very recently... I fear that I'm going mad.

They showed them on the Community site as their Monday FW preview recently.

Holy crap, that Sicaran! I need it in my life!

Thank you! Glad that I'm not going insane (and FW isn't releasing things twice)

I don't like most Space Marine flyers, but this guy is pretty cool. WarCom article up now.

Forge World Preview
Created as a dedicated assault dropship for the Legio Custodes, the Orion can carry a full task force of the Emperor’s Talons into combat. Protected by frontal armour superior to that of the Legiones Astartes Thunderhawk Gunship, its weapons can swiftly clear a landing zone of hostile infantry and armour with brutal efficiency, allowing the units within to deploy before it soars back into the sky to unleash death upon any foe who dares approach.




You’ll be able to get your hands on the Legio Custodes Orion Assault Dropship soon; in the meantime, you can browse the range of Forge World’s kits here.

Huh, it looks a whole lot stubbier when seen from top.

It makes me think of a militarized “runabout” from deepspace 9. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing.

It could even be used for 1st sphere expansion Tau, if you removed the aquillas.

Reminds me a bit of the newish Mantic flyer for some reason.

Does that thing have rules yet?

Not until its released on the webstore and gets the PDF.

I thought the thing looked a bit Tau-esque earlier, and now even more so.

Adjust the exhaust nozzles, replace the cannons, remove the aquilas and swap the heavy bolter turrets with drones of some sort and it's there.

Not a bad thing as the Tau have a nice aesthetic, but it doesn't scream unique like the sweet Dune-esque Sister's transport.

THEY ARE NOT SPACE MARINES!

Rant over. Stay classy Dakka.

Calling EVERYTHING a 'Space Marine' is part of a meme-LULZ thing in here.

No, it isn't funny, but there you have it.

That new flyer looks like they looted a Devilfish. Seriously, there's so many Tau design elements in that thing.. the back hatch even looks like it came straight from a DF box. If the icons weren't there and the guns were different I would have accepted that as Tau for sure.

It "does" have some earmarks of the 30k hover tank.. but I just don't see it as Imperial looking. Still a nice model though.

I get the impression this is the goal of Custodes stuff. It is high-tech advanced stuff befitting of the Custodes.

Yeah, fundamentally this isn’t “imperial” gear this is “inner circle” gear; created for, and on the orders of, people who can demand the best of the best custom fitted to their requirements and expect to get it.

The other thing is (and this was part of what split the Mechanicum) that, fundamentally, the Emperor had all the best toymakers while the Mechanicum had the best industrial designs. Big E kept all the really sweet gear to himself by handing over the plans and blueprints as part of the treaty but not the fundamental understanding to make developing new designs from them feasible. This alternately pissed off, confused, or enthralled different sects of the Mechanicum but also meant that the Custodes and the other Talons had access to gear the Space Marines couldn’t hope to touch.

I feel like my only beef with it is the ball turrets that look far to tau and the main hull.

the wings and the engines are 100% fine.

I feel it would look far better if it kept the engines shape for the cockpit. (that arched look with the central spine going down the center)

The Custodes and Sisters of Silence use Terran technology, not the Marian STC's that the rest of the imperium uses.

Custodes aren't Space Marines.

SoS are just humans with the pariah gene.
