So, I've started a small 'bananas of annihilation' force for use in both 30K and 40K, but seeing the wide options that the custodes have in 30K, will we see any in 40K? I mean, they can't have lost ALL of their guns in 10,000 years, surely?

Now, I'm not saying 'bring 30K to 40K' but it would be nice to see very limited numbers of certain units from the custodes of the past. The CQB venerable dreadnoughts with the oversized custodes equipment seems a viable alternative to the dreadnought they have on 40K, and possibly a very small allowance on using jet bikes or the Grav tanks. Primaris get the repulsive, so allowing the custodes very limited Grav tanks/transports seems reasonable enough.

And by limited, I really mean limited. As s very rough idea, I'd propose:

0-3 Sagittarum Guard
0-1 Aquilon Terminator Squads
0-2 Contemptor Dreadnoughts
0-1 Agamatus Jet Bikes
0-1 Caladius Grav Tanks
0-2 Pallas Grav Attack
0-3 Coronus Grav Carrier
0-1 Telemon Heavy Dreadnought

Obviously, issues will arise on two facts: FW rules, and balance to other armies. If they can get this right (I'm not holding my breath tho!) Would it be a good idea to try and flesh out the custodes to be a stand alone fighting force, or better for balance all round if they remain an elite ally to Imperium forces?

Eventually in a campaign book, i imagine. There was a mention of a Khorne invasion of Terra after the Ruinstorm, which would be a good chance for them to do Khorne v Custodes.

Mechanicus is still waiting for their toys, though i suppose they at least have a nebulous idea that its coming with Cyraxus.

Custodes Vs Khorne you say? LET THE MASSIVE BEATINGS BEGIN!

But on a more serious note, that would be great. I'm just worried that FW might go OTT on their rules and make them really unfair to fight, or boring to play, or both...
If FW and GW team up to go-write the rules, hopefully we should get some resemblance of balance.

What will probably happen is that one or two of the units are bonkers good but the rest are so terrible you'll wonder why they even bothered printing them.

I think it would be awesome if Custodes and AdMech got access to the options they have in 30k.

It is completely insane that they don't. It is like GW doesn't want to sell these models.
