It would be nice if the transporter could launch the mole at something. After all when its little brother termites come up from the ground they cause melta hits, so why not when their big brother is launched as well?

The transport has a few weapons on it so its not totally useless. Other thing it could do, is remove or reduce the need to scatter that termites suffer from at present by coordinating the tunnelling.

Probably about right. This thing is glorious looking (and goes on my long term wishlist). It's the kind of the thing you build an entire army around. That and a bunch of termites popping up with hordes of Robots, Skitarii and Myrmidons would be terrifying. Or, worse, that popping up with hordes of red butchers and associated nails'd up World Eaters...

That's a really good point. Why would that thing ever be on the front lines?

Not every game has to be a pitched battle on the front lines. It might have been ambushed before it could deploy, or caught up in a raid at it's HQ...

Wouldn't mind betting the additional item thats too good to show is sanguinius.
Been too long now and with them putting out BA stuff, it would fit.

Wanted to get back into 30k but waiting on BA.
The sanguinius model will be make or break for me.

Why would basilisk? Manticore? Generally most airplanes? For that matter titans rarely are that close to enemy either with long range duels being the name of the game. 40k ranges and what's in battles rarely make sense from logic POV

Lovely releases this time around, I always liked the moles and termites, not sure I will have a use for it though.

It also looks like sanguinius is finally ready for release as well, that is what I am betting on anyway.

Hey so anyone know what this is?

Well. Good question...!?

Well so obviously it's jump pack Custodes, but I was just caught off guard. Don't know if anyone has seen it yet. Tomorrow is Friday, when FW usually reveals their new stuff. Could be this went up a little early?

...it looks like it might be 30k Custodes with Jump Packs?

Erm, wow.

Talk about hidden in plain sight!

I expect a WarCom article soon!

Hopefully those Custodians have alternate helmet heads. They need some sort of fancy winged helms.

Can't blame the potato-cam this time. Somebody obviously got a bit butterfingers!

Alternately a Brian Blessed head if you can take one as a shield captain.

Boy do I hope there's some special helmets for those guys.

Some sorta eagle helmet theme would be cool....

Really cool jump pack custodes but... zero helmets? I don't understand why any soldier would go without their full body armor on, one of the most bizarre things about space marine models.

They’ve changed it back to the Dread now.

30k Prosecutors, then.

Oops.

Still, they're pretty cool models.

A shame they'll be FW and not plastic... in my store FW is forbidden so my Adeptus Custodes are a sad bunch...

"The Emperor's alive?!?!?"

"Onward my brave Custodes! Let this be known forever as the Emperors Day!"

wow ... those Custodes come out of nowhere ...

FW have just confirmed that these are out tomorrow and will have 40k rules - on Facebook...

Because it looks cool. This may come as a shock to you, but 40K isn't realistic.

Custodian Venetari

tomorrow preorders

I’m baffled as to why they weren’t event previewed then, but okay.
