Telemon rules are now available: https://www.forgeworld.co.uk/resources/PDF/Downloads/40k-Adeptus-Custodes-Telemon-2018.pdf

Wow. The cost of the basic loadout is shockingly high. I get that a twin plasma flamer is good, but, at 120 points per arm (or 185 for both) it seems massively steep.

However, 12 str 8, -3, D3 dmg shots with 5/10 str 5, -2, 1 dmg shots for 310 points potentially seems tasty. It also fills the lack of reliable “high” str shots problem Custodes can face. If I wanted more CC ability I’d just take the other dreadnought or more bikes/infantry. You also don’t gain an extra attack for 2 CC weapons or anything, just a re-roll wound rolls of 1.

Points wise for the shooting side of things, I think it is pretty decent when compared to other options – considering it has 15 wounds, T8, 2+/4++/6+++. CC wise, 405 points is just waaaay too much.


Can't wait to see the Galatus now!

Guess I build my Telemon tonight, question is do I replace 1 arm or go full gun platform and replace both?

If you’re playing for a laugh, rule of cool is always the first go to.

If you want to be reasonably competitive, then, 120 points for 1 arm screams insanity.

Magnets ftw though.

Magnetize and have all the options.

The top missile launcher is also designed with a magnet hole, so there may be more options for the dorsal weapon eventually too.

The one Telemon I have presently is locked in at Fist/Lasstorm. Guess I'll need to get a second one.

Sorry, some of us are still waiting for our orders from a month ago, since we foolishly didn't buy from re-casters who, you know, actually deliver product instead of taking me for a few hundred bucks and sending.... nothing.

Forge World previewing their next HH book with an image of a marine wearing a chest and helmet that’s currently on last chance to buy.



That’s taking the actual piss

Land speeds weapon options! Also, nice Necron Titan

Good to see a Talons of the Emperor book (which is what the Custodes Codex should have been anyway). Cool for the Custodes and Sisters players.

The Talons book will include Grey Knights as well as Sisters of Silence and Custodes.

NECRON KNIGHT/TITAN/BEASTY!

Ok I'm happy now!

That Carnodon almost looks cute, I really like it.

The other stuff is generally awesome. I am surprised we are getting a new dreadnought drop pod.

'New Background' sounds like 'Retcon's Inbound'

Seriously nothing on fires? Wtf.

Can they at least release rules for the models that had rules in 7th if they are going to squat the book?

I read that they are going to try and get back on to it this year or something.

I'd just assume Fires is dead at this point, don't think we'll be seeing it for a long time.

Edit: Garro on FB: "They plan to get to working on it this year. So won't be out until this time next year at best, unless there's mircles"

That is incredibly disappointing. Our army is limited as is. I have over 40 secutarii that I can do nothing with, as well as a couple thanatars.

This is possibly my favourite thing they showed:

Warhammer Community blog has been updated with Forgeworld previews:

That's what all Necron things should be - giant constructs, not vehicles piloted by regular Necrons.

Damn, that dragon is gnarly. Truly a miniature from a different age.

That new Auxilia tank, not feeling it. Also curious to know why now all of the sudden they're adding in more models.

Wait, so is this Imperial Armour: All The Heresy Stuff Except The Bits I Want thingy actually coming before Fires? You'd have to assume so, otherwise they'd be previewing a book that won't show up for two years.

If so that's a genuine pisstake, because it means they had time and resources available to work on an IA book, and chose to ignore the one that was already in development and folk had been looking forward to for, at this point, actual literal years so they could do a new one instead.

Custodes and sisters of silence players have cried for it a Lot, mech players thought they had a book so were quiet.

Guess the squeaky wheel gets the oil, eh?

So in the Q&A I was at for this when Tony was asked about Fires he said it was forth in a queue of four books, Talons is first, then Malevolence, then an unnamed book, then Fires, which is 2/3rds done. Tony stated that it would be ready this year, I have zero faith as four books in 7 months is a tall order for FW at this point.

I would expect Talons in the summer and Malevolence after that. Anything else would be a bonus. Tony even joked at the start that they were going to show you more things they won't actually deliver so he knows the problems. He did state the team is larger than it has ever been...

I was very disappointed with how much new stuff was shown, much had been shown fully completed back at the weekender in Feb. I would think they are massively behind...

Tony did state that some things such as Mark 2 armour will go out of stock now, but some things that have been labelled as last chance have been done so incorrectly or confusingly. He very clearly stated that if things do not sell they will not be kept in stock.

I wonder what the GK stuff is going to be. The realistic side of me says it will be just acess to the generic space marine stuff that all space marines besides GK's for some reasons have, The hopeful/wishful parts of me thinks that since we are in the "Emperor's favorites sons" IA we are going to get some of the Custode's stuff like the dreads.

Necrons? Canoptek Necrons? Giant Canoptek Necron thing from Forgeworld?

Surely I've yet to wake up because this is almost as unbelievable as Fire getting put off again.

I need 3 of those constructs, like, yesterday

It’s awesome to finally have a necron heavy that isn’t architecture (Not that I don’t love the architectural heavies, but they’ve not had decent rules in so long it’s easy to forget they exist). I kinda wish it leaned a bit more Tomb Stalker than Triarch Stalker, but that it exists at all is great.

Also ups the ever so narrow chance of eventually getting a necron faction in Titanicus once they branch out.
