Custodes and SoS could just be a handful of models, we dont have specific information yet, but they are plastic and in the board game according to Sad Panda.

Sad Panda does not always bat 100%.
Sisters and Custodes will be in the Forge World Prospero book, but whether they will be in this box I would wait for confirmation.

**EnTyme**

Timing seems about right for this to be a mid-to-late September release. Didn't we get the first pics of Eldrad about a month before the Death Masque release?

He does bat 100%. Check his post history. He said we would see a plastic Ahriman painted red among other things. A quote from him is as good as seeing official photos.

It's worth noting that, as mentioned by Chikout, Sad Panda does bat 100%.

It is also worth noting however that unless you read the postings here or on Lady Atia's blog? The likelihood of the less trustworthy rumor sites(Faeit, BoLS, Naftka) adding their own crap in and crediting it to him goes up.

Edit: Rumor is the sprue was in a Death Masque box. This happened before with the Tau Etherial, so it could be true.

**angelofvengeance**

Wow, that's a bit naughty...

**shade1313**

I cannot express the amount of want.

**deleted20250424**

Although, if you were a GW employee somewhere along the chain and wanted to provide leaks......

What better way to accomplish that, then to sneak a sprue into a random box and hope this is what happens.

I'm getting a chuckle just thinking about some packer dropping random sprues in boxed sets going out. Probably complaining about his low wage and "this will teach them!" under his breath.

**Wulfmar**

That's a nice sculpt

... and I'm usually an irritated Thousand Sons player. Expectation has been surpassed.

**Warhams-77**

The original quote from Sad Panda regarding Custodes and Sisters

Sad Panda

Matt.Kingsley

... just to be 100% clear you're saying that plastic Sisters of Silence and Custodes will be in the next HH board game and not talking about FW producing resin ones to coincide with the release of Inferno, right?

Yeah. Plastic. I have no idea what FW is planning.

**jojo_monkey_boy**

That is a really lovely model. It's great to see what GW is doing with 3D sculpting and plastic casting. They manage a lot of dynamism despite the limitations of sprues.

With that being said, I'm really hoping this set isn't entirely army themed. I have no interest in 1kson or space wolf marines.

**Shadow Walker**

Ahriman looks sweet. Now I wait for another 'accidental' mistake by GW employee. Maybe a Custodian?

Sad Panda - Total rumors: (52 TRUE) / (0 FALSE) / (1 PARTIALLY TRUE/VAGUE) - Updated 8/5/2016

Oh, sure, he's only at 52/53. Not always 100%.

**angelofvengeance**

Why do Custodes and Sisters of Silence turn up, then? I don't really follow the 1k Sons and Space Wolves spat.

**MeanGreenStompa**

I wonder if both will form ally units for loyalist armies, rather than full allied forces or armies themselves?

Everyone good here? Everybody having a good day? I'm typing out some stuff to block the spoilers I'm about to post for "A Thousand Sons" and "Prospero Burns" from showing up in the thread preview!

Custodes were a sign of the Emperor's judgement on the Thousand Sons. So everyone knew the Wolves were acting in the Emperor's name. The Sisters were anti psyker specialists. Pretty necessary when you were sent to bring the most powerful psyker Primarch and his Legion to task.

Edit: Ninja'd!

Since he's got one 'Partially True/Vague' shouldn't that be 52.5/53

**SpyderG6**

Based on how they are being introduced I would assume they will be an allied unit. Unless GW is going to include these models in hopes that it will encourage people to buy other Sisters or Custodes kits down the road.

**Thanatos73**

Wasn't the last FW rumor that the Custodes would be getting a full army list in the next HH book but Sisters would just be allied choices for now?

**Wulfmar**

Something rather poignant about the educated being silenced so the uneducated and superstitious, manipulated by those in power, go and destroy them.

Maybe this is too deep for this afternoon

Yes, it was said at the last FW event, reports are on the Battle Bunnies blog

Spoiler:

When the Space Wolves come to punish Magnus and the Thousand Sons for ignoring the Edict of Nikea, they are not alone. A band of Custodes come with them(representing the Emperor himself censuring the Thousand Sons and Magnus), as does a veritable army of Sisters of Silence. Remember that with the Sisters of Silence, every single one of them is a Pariah. Going against a Legion of psykers on a world where everyone has a bit of latent psyker talent with no anti-psyker protection would have been stupid--and again, it's a measure of the Emperor's wrath that not only are the Wolves there to burn the place but to destroy everything. This isn't just punishment or a war.

This was extermination. This was erasing the Thousand Sons from the annals of history. There's a reason the tagline on "A Thousand Sons" is "All is Dust...". The Wolves left nothing on Prospero.

**Dagstyrr**

Just want Sisters and Custodes for a war within the Webway themed army. Been holding off for a long time for them!

Spoiler:

I was under the impression that the utter devastation was the result of Horus' 'interpreting' the E's orders to Leman Russ and upping the punishment, to cause maximum damage for all concerned? The emperor wanted them kicked hard but not the entire planet laid waste.

Spoiler:

**Cephalobeard**

If you ask Spikeybits, they are referring to it as a Daemon Primarch. Reminding them this was clickbait will get you banned.

That aside, the kit looks great.

**unmercifulconker**

Oh god.......oh god.....oh god oh god oh god....

*Fans myself with purity seal of change*

**ulgurstasta**

How ironic, been waiting ages for new/plastic Thousand sons and when it finally comes out it´s for 30k
