Hmm, it's interesting to see how those 2 unique T-Sons units look to be resin upgrade kits for the plastic models.

Not sure if I'm disappointed or not.

EDIT: That being said, I wouldn't be too disappointed it SW Grey Slayers got the same treatment as it'll probably be the closest thing to a Despoiler upgrade set we'll ever get.

(and it will make it super easy to make a dirty Vlka Fenryka force that annoys Drasius

)

Looking at the custodes from inferno, am I right in thinking warblade armed custodes are troop?
Spear armed custodes are elites?

The side of the page is clipped but I'm trying to roughly work out what goes where lol.
Sisters executioner blade are AP3 now but become AP2 on a 5 or 6 to hit.

**Slayer-Fan123**

Oh that Wolves Dreadnought is just LOVELY when painted.

**Matt.Kingsley**

I'm not sure. In the WD article they were Elites but then again both they are the Guardians were missing out on a descent chunk of their wargear options.

They could be out of order like the T-Sons Legion rules or the could be in perfect order and now be a Troop choice.

**Jackal**

Since the temp. Rules we got for them a lot seems to have changed.

Also glad I didn't buy the transport yet.
While it's good, it won't transport a full unit and they can DS given a small upgrade anyway.

The sentinel layout is nice for covering units though.
Shooting through them provides a 4+ cover.
Considering you can get stealth for all sisters, that will help loads.

See, this is why I only use Dakka, the people here are fething amazing.

Cheers guys as always.

The Moritats look stunning painted (from BattleBunnies)

**NivlacSupreme**

That moritat will be my second forgeworld buy.

**zedmeister**

Volkite Dunecrawler!

(Cheers battlebunnies)

**Matt.Kingsley**

There also looks to be some bird-like wings and a caped, leering servo skull thing.

We must know moar!

**angelofvengeance**

Volkite... with autocannons. Just in case!

I think the Magos with wings is a conversion. I love the missile tank too

**Buddingsquaw**

Spoiler:

(Cheers battlebunnies)

Oooh, what a sweet looking Dunecrawler.
Mind you, the foot plates and icarus cannon barrels on the front looks like a conversion job.

Holy feth, that's a dakka-reffic looking Triaros! What the heck could those blue things inside be? Some kind of electric mortar gubbin?
And those lightning guns on the side... Perhaps a multi-shot profile, given the 4 cylinders in the back?

They're just on that Dominus - it's converted slightly.

**Jackal**

Seeing those missiles reminds me.
We still have a mini ordinatus to go.

Volcano cannon - done (armageddon)
Sonic cannon - done (mars)
Missile - MIA (golgotha)

Only going by the old epic models, but since 2/3 have been made I'd assume the golgotha (?) is still to come.

I had a feeling the 3rd would be the massive Stasis cannon, that can plant a field that either slows time to a snail's pace, or greatly accelerates it.
Can't for the life of me find it again on the Wikia, but I 'spect I must've heard about it in something about The Beast Arises.

Ah ha! Now that is the TSons dread we all deserve! The first one they made was really disappointing but that is just beautiful.

Nice to see that the swordy guys are partly plastic, hopefully that means they won't be too pricey.

I imagine they'll work out more because you'll have to buy the plastics to use them with as well.

What looks to be Legio Astraman Titans

**Darkseid**

Didn't expect so many thousand sons releases. They all look cool though, particulary the contemptor.

I also like the new iron warriors terminators.

**CragHack**

Those Custodian Jetbikes...Now if only they made 40k rules for them :OOO

Fantastic! From that link Battlebunnies link:

No pic of the huge gun (Volkite?) Dune Crawler that zedmeister posted above, though. Is that for 30k?

**Fireball**

I really like the Custodes stuff, but no Terminators yet or Valdor. I am sad because I will not get my hands on the event exclusive mini. Normally I pass on them because they are not tempting enough, but I have finished my first five Custodes and that one would be very nice to have (without paying immense money on ebay) ...

That tank have void shields? And yes those look like plasma warheads.

**ImAGeek**

General release for the book is 5 weeks apparently.

**zedmeister**

Tis a Karacnos Assault Tank for the Skitarii. Lightning fun sentinels and a rad munitions mortar

Need/Want the 'Karacnos Assault Tank'!

Interesting that the secutarii may be gettng an HQ at last (the 'secutarii axiarch' from the leaked contents page)

My first reaction to the volkite dunecrawler was of glee due to it being included, but on looking at that iteration, i'd be glad to not see it in 30k - thats a half-arsed conversion the like of which i expect to see on eBay for a tenner at best.

**Verviedi**

Ooooh... pretty AdMech stuff. Too bad Fires of Cyraxus isn't out yet... otherwise I may have to save some money.
