The first set of rumors on 40K stats are here.  Buckle up – there is rules turbulence ahead…

The Rumors

via B&C’s StaggerLee 10-15-2016

According to a mate, these are the profiles for custodes and sisters:

Custodes:
ws6, bs4, s5, t5, w2, i5, a3, ld10, 2+/4++.
hatred, furious charge, rampage.

Sisters:
ws5, bs4, s3, t3, w1, i5, a2, ld10, 2+.
Preferred enemy (psykers), hatred (psykers)
furious charge and a pariah blade which inflicts ID on any model with the psyker special rule and otherwise is ap3.
they will have the pariah rule meaning they can never be the target of any psychic power. and all psychic powers cease to be in effect within 6″ of the unit

Thoughts

Ok, now before we get started, let’s all breath and apply a bit dose of salt. There are some dubious sources for these, and 4Chan was mentioned.

Some stats that seem highly unusual:

  • BS:4 for Custodes?  That seems a bit on the low side.
  • 2+ armor for Sisters? Artificer is certainly possible for such rare elite troops, but it still seems off based on the model’s appearance.

For the record, let’s go back and pull up the actual rule text of the “pariah rule” which could interpreted as either of the following:

The Necron Pariah rules from way back in their last codex appearance:

necron-pariah-rules

The Culexis Assassin current edition rules:

culexis-soulless-rules

The rules described don’t match either exactly, but have more in common with the Culexis.
