Don’t miss this! Two of the most characterful armies are getting codex books next for Warhammer 40k, the Adeptus Custodes and Thousand Sons!

Good and bad guy players in the Grim Dark both have something to look forward to soon as both the Custodes and Thousand Sons look to be getting codex books next:

Hobby Hero Garro was on the scene at Warhammer World’d New Year’s Open showcasing the event Saturday. Make sure help get him over 3,000 likes on Facebook by giving him the thumbs up as well!

Here’s some of what he reported:

New weapon options for the Custodes, hopefully coming in plastic. These look to feature the Paragon Blade previously only available on the Exclusive Ixion Hale model.

A close look at the new Jetbikes, and the new Terminators that also appear to have Paragon Blade options.

No word yet on if the Thousand Sons are getting new models to go with that looks to be their 8th edition release, however they have a pretty robust line of models already that came out one year ago during the month of “Tzaanuary”.

So are the Custodes ARE big new announcement that we were all told to expect today. The “Watcher” part may have been the giveaway here:

Lore states that for ten thousand years and more, the Custodians have stood watch over their lord and master, serving as the Emperor’s personal guardians and praetorian bodyguard.
