What's that?

Hnnng, that Acquisitor transport is amazing. And one of them rocking up next to a Primarch and disgorging a squad of Vigilators should make even the choppy-choppy ones nervous.

The rules for the Custodes though, Jeebus Tapdancing Christ they're good. Even considering their lower numbers. Honestly I wasn't expecting to want to collect them on an army scale simply because I like to have a fluff justification for my army and as such they'd rarely see the table, but they have so many toys...

The only thing coming out of this event I'm not enthused by is the hilariously ironic news that FW have finally started limiting purchases of event and pre-release models to one per-ticket, just as people formed a group to allow us to beat the scalpers at their own game There's a chance they might open up sales last-thing on Sunday if they have leftover stock, but that's not confirmed. I suppose I should be greatful considering the hilarioud 45 quid pricetag on Captain Walrustache there, but I actually quite wanted one.

Just guessing, but it's the Sisters Kharon Pattern Acquistor

Welp, guess I'll start saving now...

What are those? Titans? Knights? Cataphract robots?

Knights. Specifically, "Heresy era Knights". At least, it's written so. But the photo here is somewhat small.

So what's the deal with the seminars on Twitch, are the VODs going up right after or do we have to wait until the whole event is over?

This showed up on Warhammer Community.

Moooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooritat!

I'll take all the Moritats. Thanks!

Now why couldn't legion jetbikes look like that?

Only thing I had expected was a Eagle with its wings spread over the front of it.
Either way, it's gorgeous.

I do however forsee a divorce this year with the custodes that are coming out.
Anyone renting a room? Lol.

I like how the Custode riding it has lighter armour, and I love the jetbike design.

Looks like some of the Imperial knight concepts that were shown in WD when the model originally launched. They could just be there to fill space, or FW could be planning on revisiting them for 30k or AT.

These are just glorious!



Since Visions of Heresy I've been waiting for these minis!

BYE

Surprised there a full resin kit and so legion specific. I wonder how long until FW make the Ultras nock off version ?

Looking at the fluff for the Adrathic weapons/Adrastus Bolt Caliver, does it strike anyone as they seem to be man-made Gauss weapons of a type?

The sooner the better!!!

Exactly!

I've been waiting for those too!

The sooner the 'generic' versions show up, the better!

The spear upgrades on custodian guard squads are pretty damn good.
The option to swap the bolter for an inferno pistol is amazing.
Granted it's 15 points, but having a BA army I have around 30 inferno pistols sat here I can make use of.

HQ wise I'd say valdor is an auto take too.
Free deepstrike on all units without having to pay for it.
Great warlord trait, godly stats for a non primarch etc.
Him and a guardian squad could quite easily cut through most units in 30k.

Really loving the options and units though.
Glad I did impulse buy a ton of custodes.

Now rocking a 4k army once I convert valdor for now lol.

I have a spare room!

May have to take you up on that one bubber is the Mrs sees my bank statement this month lol.


Also, Ixion Hale being event only and £45 is a bloody nightmare.
Scalpers are loving the £100 price on him.
Don't mind paying slightly over retail but not paying £100 to some greedy fether that only wanted it to sell on.

Valdor looks great and so do those Moritat's.. Please FW can you redo the normal Custodes? I'll buy the army then, promise.

We've not seen Valdor yet (unless you mean rules?)

The bionics on the Siege Tyrants really bother me. I never understood why GW leaves bionic parts on Astartes models unarmoured.

What bionics?

Rule of cool, as with most things in 40k.

Making it blatantly obvious I guess (yes, I know there's other ways of showing that). Plus I imagine if they're on the front lines, they may not get much opportunity to get decent stuff.

They tried at 54mm to show subtle bionics (that would be the eye), don't think it really translates. Think it's basically just a rule of cool thing.

This?

Now I love the Rocketeer, but I'm not seeing that at all.

Scoria is being worked on.

Dreadnought Drop pod might come back.

Dorn and Alpharius are still not being worked on.

Night Lords are in Angelus
