I can only hope for the other land Raider variants. Being able to cram 8 custodies in a Crusader would make for a decent deathstar unit. Not to mention hitting on 2+ with hurricane bolters and assault cannons would shred hordes.

The hyperbole is strong with this one...

It's not as far off as one would hope tbh.

They want reconquer the galaxy.....

Really?

800 billion dollars for a tank?
18 months to ship?
Melt into a puddle?

I'm pretty sure all of those are massively hyperbolic statements.

Maybe he's an aussie? I've heard about the crazy aussie prices

Of course they do. When Sigmar... umm, I mean when Girlyman returned, it was evident from then on it's all about pushing back Chaos and reclaiming the Mort... the galaxy. Yes, the galaxy. That's it.

Can't wait to see the Terminator 360s. They look nice enough in the pictures we've got so far. Just dreading the price they'll be asking for three models...

From the way they treat Aussies price wise, you’d think they were in another world entirely...

Uh, maybe not? The way SpaceX is planning pricing for the BFR, shipping to space might actually turn out chaeaper. And that’ll halve again when Skylon starts flying; that one won’t even have to ship stuff to America for loading first….

Seriously though I can definitely understand why people would be less than thrilled to play with resin, especially if they live/play anywhere hot. I've heard stories of people having stuff start melting (more drooping, or sagging really) in their cars on a warm day, or in a hot room.

With how little the FW Custodes vehicles share with the rest of the game and I can understand the frustration too. At least if you don't like Land Raiders you can kitbash up a Repulsor to run with, but you can't really kitbash up a FW Custodes tank.

I actually hope that some of that stuff gets a release in plastic also, looking just as stream lined and futuristic.

I like that the Custodes are kind of a unique vision to what the Imperium was supposed to be in terms of material culture and aesthetic design if the Great Crusade had been completed along with the Imperial webway.

Some people say it clashes with the lore of 40k, but I think its a tragic reminder of how far the Imperium has fallen.

After having read the book, if Custodes don't get access to the FW Dreads I'd be very disappointed. They go out of their way in the book to describe them and how beautiful they are, how powerful and imposing they are, and to mention that they're making more.

They all constantly describe how super human fast they are, with sisters of silence and humans can barely track their movements. If they end up being 5-6" movement I'm gonna laugh decently hard. Lol

Lots of hype post book, though. Lots of hype.

A Contemptor is movement 9, so that's the most likely value.

Similarly a Telemon is essentially a leviathan, so assume improved leviathan stats.

Space Marines are super fast too in the fluff and they only have a 6" movement.

Well shoot guess I'm getting about three packs of Allarus then. I'll need the characters and a few units.

Combine with my 6 aquillons and I'm pretty sure that'll mean I can eventually have the option to field a full terminator custodian army, just in case I was feeling my model count was too high playing them normally.

Next week seems like a good clip of releases. Breaks down all the Triumvirates barring the Eldar one(I want that damn Visarch!) too.

Well, I'm absolutely snagging one if those limited editions.

It looks incredible.

It feels like 900 is just wrong for the total number of LEs. 10,000 sounds about right.

You’ll also be able to use the Allarus Custodians kit to build a Shield Captain to lead your forces, or a Vexillus Praetor, a flag-wielding commander that offers powerful bonuses to nearby units.

So I was right, with that boxed set you can make 2 characters. It makes sense then to allow the terminators to be taken in units of 1.

And yeah, that limited edition Codex is the first time I have thought about buying one

You pay fw models in pounds so if conversation rates are bad on gw models fw can be even cheaper than plastics!

I don't know if this has been noticed already, but did anyone read GW's blurb on the upcoming Allarus Terminators?

https://www.warhammer-community.com/2018/01/14/next-weeks-pre-orders-golden-legion-goes-forth/

It talks about them being 'superb character assassins', as well as having teleport deepstrike of course.

Whaddya think? Is this actually gonna translate into rules or just some silly headcanon from someone in the marketing team? Also clashes with the 'anti-horde' description we've been given about their grenade launchers.

For SAKE!! I just had a lengthy discussion today at my local GW about severely needing to put a limit on myself buying new things before starting new armies.

Now I need to get a shed load of these termies for both a Custodes force AND a Slaamesh warband.

Someone send help.......or money.

This release came much sooner than expected after the preview last weekend.

Still no word on getting 30k rules for the new stuff, but most of it can be used as counts as fairly well. Biggest issue is the
weapons on the jetbikes, which is what I'll be buying most of.

And weapons for terminators. ATM only thing you can really use is the special character and MAYBE the veteran squad depending on weapon loadout there.

Not expecting to get any rules. Well saves my wallet!

Maybe not 30k rules straight away. But when the Talons list gets updated by either a black or red book release I wouldn't be surprised to see them.

I would be shocked to see 30k rules for the new Terminators and Jetbikes. Because while I don't know about the terminators, I'm 90% sure the jetbikes are a 40k era creation in order to have a cheaper to maintain alternative to the Gyrfalcon jetbikes. This can also be seen in how the new bikes have hurricane bolters and Mechanicus symbols on them.

I could be wrong though

Just give me rules for 40k Saggitarum guard. Give me that sweet sweet long range firepower to compensate for the meele-centric normal Custodes!

I'm definitely preordering the codex, Valoris, perhaps the terminators, and when they come out, the jetbikes.

Is there a chance that there might be a unit or two that hasn't been shown yet? It seems a bit odd that after the first week of preorders the only thing left to be released is the jetbikes. I guess there is that veterans unit. Perhaps an HQ blister?
