Is this going to be a Warhammer specific thing or can people with very little sense pledge to paint other stuff as well? I have bunches of Warmachine, Guild Ball, and some terrain projects that I’ll never get around to unless I have some ill-advised deadline to force me.

Yo SteelMentor, the casual tournament thing you mentioned is a GW Newcastle right? Me and a friend will be there too! If you see a tall blonde guy with glasses playing grey death guard come say hi, !

The 40pl level, no duplicates in unit types is a little weird but it's my first actual event so I'm going to use it to figure out what rules and stuff I've been getting wrong.

Bringing typhus, 7 marines with 3 plasma guns, a plagueburst crawler and some deathshroud, not sure how it'll do, wanted to bring my drone but didn't get it painted in time

Jesus, I played against these guys for the first time tonight, in a slap-up 3 player game. Thing are absolutely nails, especially when your mate just rolls hot on his invulnerable saves. A unit of them basically walked straight through my army's shooting, shrugged off my Autarch's attacks and brutally crushed him, as well as everything else they got their hands on. I'm unsure how they can really make the terminator versions any tougher, given they already have T5, 3W, 2+ and 3++.

These are some sweet models and a lot of cool poo poo goons painted in 2017! I'm proud of all of these beautiful perfect miniature boys. Keep 'em coming!

e: And for those of you who haven't painted much or are intimidated, remember that everyone has to start somewhere! I've been painting models since I started playing 40k in Italy back in 2nd edition, so I'm going on about 20+ years of experience now. Nobody just picks up a brush and produces beautiful models on their first go!

While I really want to echo this, the part of me that loves small elite armies (which also wants to start either Deathwing or another termie a Dr my after my current paint backlog is caught up) is happy .. . Especially if they include sisters of silence.

Yep. They're even on the cover on The Emperor's Legion.

Presumably they, like the Custodes, just sat around with their thumbs up their arses for ten thousand years.

They have 40k rules and I think are supposed to have returned, it's just 3 types of elites and a rhino. You have to chose a different Imperium HQ to field them.

Weren't the custodes always around, but just solely as the guards of Terra who never left?

The Custodians were the Emperor's guards, they only left Terra at his word. Which, y'know, he's not really in shape to be giving nowadays.

The SoS make less sense to me, have they been retconned into always having been still running the Black Ships? if not then yeah it doesn't make much sense for them to still be around if they haven't been doing the thing they existed to do.

Some of them helped run the black ships but most of them were just sort of left to rot because everyone hates dealing with blanks. They go into it in Watchers of the Throne.

I'm actually sort of stoked about the Custodes stuff because I'm pretty sure the army is going to be mixed Sisters of Silence and Custodes which could be a pretty unique playstyle.

Some of them do, but most were just doing their own stuff and getting ignored by the Imperium until the "present."

The Sisters of Silence are basically a walking Deus Ex Machina that is invoked whenever the writer needs to explain why an enemy psyker hasn't blown up everything forever.

Not that I hate their concept, I actually like them as branch of the Imperium, but i've never seen them used as anything other than a narrative device to explain why Russ and later Guilliman didn't get owned by Magnus.

They've also made a few appearances in the Heresy novels as the Imperium's earliest daemon-hunting specialists. Malcador figured out really fast that the Sisters of Silence gently caress over sorcerers and daemons hard, and deployed them accordingly.

They're pretty cool when they show up in the Heresy stuff, Master of Mankind in particular. Both they and modern Custodes get fleshes out a lot more in Watchers of the Throne which I highly recommend that people check out before complaining about their fluff.

Edit: I think that post probably comes across a lot harsher than I intended but the book is very good and would do a lot to alleviate the stuff I'm seeing.

Throw Carrion Throne on that Custodes pile as well. While they take a backseat to the Inquisitors, every scene they're in they leave an impact.

All those Storm Troopers/Flagellants/Grotesques never stood a loving chance.
