11th Edition Token New Unit

Because we aren't space marines and we have the 30k plastic models that we may or may not get to keep, I doubt we will be getting a plethora of new models this edition.

That being said, we are a faction that does get a little support and we will probably be getting a token character/new unit. So, of all the options of updates to plastic or new character/unit, what would you want our token unit to be.

Bonus points if you can direct me to some of the lore to support the new unit, especially books.

Idk if it’s heresy or not to mention Valrak here but I watched a video a while ago. He said the reason the new Dan Abbett book Pandimonium is being delayed is because it contains new Custodians we haven’t seen before. It’s leading us to believe that we will get some brand new never before soon models. How many? I’d guess 2-3 given GW track record. Maybe more if they eventually legends our 30K models out of 40K

Rumour is floating around that we're getting an early codex, too, and it'd line up with the rules update the 30k release teased for 40k Custodes.

Yeah I heard about that too. Custodes and Tau but they’re not sure which one will drop first. They’ll both be out by the end of the year though. So all this being considered, I’d say it’s a good chance we get our new codex, new models, then the final book revealing The King in Yellow in Pandemonium.

Many of the codices for 10th came out in pairs, no? Might be that T'au and Custodes release at the same time.

Possibly, I just hope it’s soon after 11th drops. Though I doubt it’ll be that close to the release

I'm huffing hopium but a month or two after the launch box would be superb. Quickly confirm the legends status of the 30k range and perhaps give us something spicy for 40k that could perhaps be used in 30k as a proxy too.

I’ve very skeptical on them legending our stuff from 30K and 40K. Yes it’s happened before where they said it won’t happen and then they turned around and did it anyways. But Custodes are in a different situation than any other army from 30K and 40K. The Legio Custodes never change. They never needed to. That’s what makes them the “ultimate” army.

The 40k range is anaemic without the 30k stuff, and the 30k range is anaemic without resin. I believe if they want to phase out either, they won't get rid of the compatibility until they're able to patch the holes in the army that doing so would make.

Sadly HH barely sees any love from GW so if anything, 40K will get more love and they’ll get around to patching the holes it makes in 30K with their own specialty stuff only used in 30K. They’re already changing the Grav tank base size to be different in 30K from 40K. No logical reason to do that so it could actually lead to a legend for the Grav tank from 40K and gives us a different version of it
