I have Hale, and he will be my Trajann, at least until FW makes Hale rules for 40k.

I have both, and actually like both models. It's just a decision to make, like which missiles to put on the Acastus knight.

It is quite handy that Trajann is designed so the lion cloak over his shoulder is entirely optional. If it goes sideways trying to paint that thing, I can just leave it off.

The cloak isn't entirely optional. The two hip-armor pieces are not complete and are meant to be covered by the cloak. I guess you could substitute them out for bits from another Custodes model.

I SINCERLY doubt FW will make 40k rules for a 30k character whose proably dead by Heresy's end

The cloak is not optional on Trajan, but the lion pelt is. Just like the misercordia on the terminators, it just slots right on over other detail.

LOL, yeah, I know. I can always hope though. I mean, as long as I get rules for my resin Dreadnoughts, I'm a happy man. Throwing in rules for the terminators might happen, might not. Hale is a super-longshot, but I wouldn't complain if he's in there.

Forgeworld Custodes jetbikes are NEAT. These GW plastic jetbikes.... omg ad Gloria est infinitum Sanctus deci mucho ausgeseichnet!!!!! That's how I have fallen ill . . I'm such a wretch! I looked upon the magnificence and wept.

Apparently I exalted my own post ... thanks phone.

I'll be using Hale as a normal captain with axe and not getting Trajan, I think.

Using Hale as Trajan and Trajan as somebody else would tend to fall foul of WYSIWYG rules at events. It could well be confusing to opponents.

I suppose this belongs here:

Has anyone heard anything about an actual release date for the next IA?
