They will be the first plastic female humans ever created by GW. The only other plastic female human is the driver for the Immolator but that's just half a body.
Like I've said many times before, the first ever plastic female humans on the market were the zombie vixens released some years ago, this is both sad and rather pathetic at the same time. Raging Heroes proved me right that there is a huge market for sci fi female models, as GW are ALWAYS late to the party they are now releasing plastic human females.

Id be willing to take the Custodes off your hands.
This box makes me excited. I've got 2 BaCs I havent built yet (Second guessing my choice of the Raven Guard) not I'll probably add two of these and be good on Infantry for a while.

Doesn't the set seem to have the situation in the Loyalists' favor. I mean yes Ahriman has 5 Terminators, but he's facing the Fell-Handed (tho not Bjorn), a full squad of Wolves, some Sisters of Silence (don't know their capabilities however) and 5 Custodes, who are supposed to be Astartes what Astartes are to humans.

I'm honestly not that impressed, armour looks like something from Age of Sigmar rather than 40K.
They have the same lightning as Sigmarines do if I'm not mistaken.
Agreed a 100%. Custodes and SOS look like models straight oupt of a fantasy game. Not too impressed.

Yes, because that epic Pre-Dust Ahriman and never-made-before Custodians are just run-of-the-mill ...
Loved the voice. Loved the presentation. Hate myself for how much I want to throw money at the screen for this box.

Re: the fantasy look of the models...Yup, my first thoughts on seeing those models is that we now know who the sigmarines try to hang out with on Saturday nights off.

My lore on SoS is minimal, but what's up with those lightning bolts? They look out of place. I don't recall seeing that iconography anywhere in 40k before?

I suppose it all depends on the scenarios that form the game. The Thousand Sons may have advantages to counter lack of numbers.

Consulting the Visions of Heresy book, the Sisters look exactly like they're supposed to (barring the fact I"m not sure if the minis have the oversized flange hanging off their couters) and GW have done a superb job translating the illustrations to plastic.

Words cannot convey how pumped I am for this! It has been almost 5 years on the dot when I started my Heresy Thousand Sons force and I never imagined the day when a set like this would be designed that fit so perfectly with my army.
Loving all the subtle differences in the SM armour on both the termies and the MKIII as well as the interesting patterns painted on the Sons models, gonna have to try that out soon.
SoS and the Custodes look a little cartoony but I think a more rugged paintjob should fix that up no problem.
Might even pick up the WD seeing as it has a good deal on TW Warhammer included plus pretty pictures of my beloved legion!

I've been wanting to do some 40k "Old Timey" rusted looking Iron-Hands for a while now, and this set is going to make an excellent base for that with those Mk3 grill-face marines.
Preordered for sure, and in the Age of Roundtree, the once deservedly reviled GW, just keeps on winning. :-)
