I was reading through the pics of the rules for the Custodes, and it almost looks like a few things are actually missing.
Didn't see a definition of the Misericordia rule anywhere.
The jetbikes have a rule allowing them to shoot with each of their weapons, but they only have one gun each (unless you count tossing a grenade), not even the bolt pistol that legion jetbikes get to carry.
The Custodes transport is, honestly, useless without the Assault Vehicle rule. Such a low model count army simply can't afford to jump out of a transport and stand around just holding their for a turn before charging.

"You listen to me. While I will admit to a certain cynicism, the fact is that I am a naysayer and hatchetman in the fight against violence. I pride myself in taking a punch and I'll gladly take another because I choose to live my life in the company of Gandhi and King. My concerns are global. I reject absolutely revenge, aggression, and retaliation. The foundation of such a method... is love. I love you Sheriff Truman." - Twin Peaks

Rule of cool, as with most things in 40k.
The real-world reason is rule-of-cool obviously, though they've actually attempted to give a in-universe explanation.
Partly, it's hard to wear Power armour on top of bionics since there's no black carapace to interact with the suit, partly it's a psychological thing. Showing the enemy that the marines can endure injuries and mutilation and still come back.

Especially the Iron Warriors, yeah. Plus I imagine the bionics are probably as strong as the armour anyway.
That heavy dread is a beast!
Shame the Morti is wearing mkIV :(
Check out my gallery here Also I've started taking photos to use as reference for weathering which can be found here. Please send me your photos so they can be found all in one place!!

It's a 12-slot light stealth transport designed to basically roll up to the baddie psyker target, spray autocannon and web rounds everywhere, then have Sisters jump out and drag the baddie inside for unspeakable shenanigans.
Personally I love it. What I'm really waiting to see though is if FW do the hunter unit, I forget the name, that has the cyber-beasties, both because it's a cool concept and because it'd be more fuel on the INQ28 fire.

"The language of modern British politics is meant to sound benign. But words do not mean what they seem to mean. 'Reform' actually means 'cut' or 'end'. 'Flexibility' really means 'exploit'. 'Prudence' really means 'don't invest'. And 'efficient'? That means whatever you want it to mean, usually 'cut'. All really mean 'keep wages low for the masses, taxes low for the rich, profits high for the corporations, and accept the decline in public services and amenities this will cause'." - Robin McAlpine from Common Weal
for a turn before charging.
