Thanks Forgeworld for teasing us with the bigger grav-tank in the email, *&^%**^**!
Well maybe it'll go up for pre-order next week

As someone who has seen that bad boy in the flesh at Warhammer World... it's a bit of a beast!

**BrookM**

You mean this one?

It's already on sale: https://www.forgeworld.co.uk/en-NL/Legio-Custodes-Caladius-Grav-Tank

**krazynadechukr**

Will there be more Custodes? Enough to run as their own army?

**TwilightSparkles**

The other grav vehicle is transport, at new year open day there was a 2nd spear armed contemptor, so I'd say so - will be in inferno along with sisters.

**Jackal**

Expect to see the spear armed contemptor and Atleast a character still to come.

Possibly even a ranged unit.

They need enough between them and sisters for a list.

**bubber**

I wonder what the nickname for the Pallas will be.....

No, the big transport one.
I'm hoping we get Constantin Valdor and maybe the Meridian Blades for the Custodes

**Daston**

I can see valdir being there, want he at Prospero?

**Haighus**

That Custodes Contemptor is a thing of beauty.

It is but it is also pretty fiddly for a contemptor and also mine was miscast.

Email FW they are usually pretty good about sending a replacement for miscast parts. How fiddly? Like knight feet fiddly?

It is a fine looking model but it's the first time I've looked at a horus heresy era model and felt a bit uneasy - I've been shying away from 40k a bit recently and focusing on 30k because the aesthetics are more in keeping with what I like about the universe GW has created. But that shiny golden dreadnought with a sword and shield is drifting too much into dread knight territory. It's a little too giddy for my tastes. Please, please, please FW, don't give it ridiculously overpowered rules...

It had better be overpowered! Custodes basic troops cost 55 points per model minimum, the tank we've seen so far is 195 in it's pdf and no way are these Contemptors less than 250. With that little board prescence and ability to supply massed firepower, the list needs to be really good at it's areas of strength to stand a chance.

Horde tactics with a decent quantity of anti-vehicle options is likely to hard counter a Custodes list.

**VeteranNoob**

Dat Custodes dreadnought... beyond gorgeous model

**hotsauceman1**

Sooooo, when are we gonna get something that isnt 30k related? Like more stuff for the other races? I would love to see some IG stuff, not Solar Auxilia, but actual IG. Or maybe the DE? Or some Ork or Necron stuff?
Cause im getting tired of it TBH,

I know what you mean. Come on Iron Hills Goat Riders!

**Crazyterran**

Well, unless Tau have something to be released, the next book is fires of cyraxus.

You know, the book that's bringing 30k admech forward into 40k, some updated SM stuff, probably a red scorpions Gladius and SM formations for the FW stuff. And Tau as well. with all of that, I might need to stop holding my breath on the SM updates I dream of.

This one?

it has a really detailed interior, the floor even has a fur rug! I was told capacity is going to be 10 or 12 Custodies.

here is the back of the other large skimmer for comparison:

I'm expecting a couple of named characters including Valdor, jet bikes and terminators. I know a Leviathan is planned as well if they sell enough Contemptors.

Yup, the interior is at least as detailed as the Mastodon. I can't find a decent shot of the Corunus Grav Carrier's rear to show off it's interior but instead its a blatant opportunity to show off my Mastodon interior.

Schedule is up for the HH Weekender. The next HH book after Inferno is named Angelus, which will include Blood Angels and Dark Angels. Inferno. They will also have seminars on the 28mm AT and something about the "Ordo Sinister".

**Vorian**

I really hope they have some 8mm stuff to preview as well as the full scale rules preview

**Loopstah**

Ordo Sinister? Something else to go with Custodes and Sisters?

The Ordo Sinister is the most elite and senior Divisio Mandati Titan order of the Collegia Titanica, and consists of only twelve Imperator class Titans. Under the command of its renowned Grand Master Ferromort, the Ordo Sinister's purpose is simple: to inspire terror and obedience in those who wish to rebel against the the Pax Imperium, to enforce with the strength of steel the words of the Adeptus. In this respect the Legion often works in conjunction with the Adeptus Arbites, the Inquisition and the Ecclesiarchy. The carefully planned assaults of Grand Master Ferromort are famous for their precision, ferocity and flawless execution. Great pains are taken to use the Legion as an example of implacable and faceless Imperial efficiency.

In "persuading" particularly unruly governors to submit to Imperial will, the Legio Ordo Sinister has destroyed hundreds of supposedly impregnable fortresses and palaces. The Legion remains an instrument of precision for the Imperium - a well-honed saber rather than the sledgehammer of planetary bombardment or the broadsword of Space Marine intercession.

Via Lexicanum.

**zedmeister**

So happy to see Adeptus Titanicus listed.

Where is this schedule published. I could not see it on www.forgeworld.co.uk

Automatically Appended Next Post:
Did anybody else see the Adeptus Titanicus participation game listed in the bottom right?

**Alpharius**

REALLY looking forward to more AT - can't wait for the event report!

**RiTides**

Oh man, so awesome about Adeptus Titanicus!!

Does Dakkadakka do a single event thread for the Weekender?

**Looky Likey**

Really gutted I am not going this year as the schedule looks ace.

Battle Bunnies normally have a few guys going, they usually have photos and recaps up pretty quickly.
