I love that canonically, the Custodes can all talk in Thoughtmark/imperial sign language

but only the Sisters of Silence can swear in it

Custodes

by Jaime Martinez

I'd have preferred a plastic dreadnought or grav tanks, but I suppose a new solo character model is consistent with what we've seen for minor codex updates.

Besides, I don't know if they intend to maintain the bright line between the 30k and 40k armies, but I suspect that the majority of the legacy Custodes range from Forge World is being held back until they get their big Age of Darkness release.

If I see anyone else posting their dogshit custodes takes, I'm gonna lose my shit. Cooties ain't real, no one normal cares, women in the 10,000 doesn't change jack shit for the setting.

This is the same shit we went through with the non-binary Orks, but somehow even dumber.

I hope the lot of you stub your pinky-toes each morning.

Codex: Adeptus Custodes

by Jaime Martinez

[titanomancy]

Today's .STL find is Malcador the Sigillite space wizard. He's in space. He's a wizard. He is definitely not the last surviving member of a cabal of immortal technocrats, nor either the First Lord of Terra or Grand Master of Assassins. He could be anybody. In fact, there's no telling who this mysterious stranger is because he's wearing a hood!

Star Wars Legends: Poll of the Week — The Many Lives of Mara

One of the most popular characters to be developed for Star Wars Legends is Mara Jade, who first appeared in Timothy Zahn’s Thrawn trilogy. The character went through a number of journeys, both in her relationship with Luke Skywalker and in her own right, and over that time she had a number of professions. Which one of these Mara Jade professions is your favorite?

The Emperor’s Hand, a Dark-Side-wielding spy and assassin for the Empire, trained by Darth Vader and the Emperor

Hyperdrive mechanic, on the run from Isard and others after the fall of the Empire

Smuggler with Talon Karrde’s crew and later leading the Smugglers’ Alliance

Dancer in Jabba’s Palace (undercover as Arica, as part of her mission to kill Luke Skywalker)

Jedi Knight, and later, Jedi Master who took on Jaina Solo and Anakin Solo as her apprentices

Orientalis-Echion

Warlord-Sinister Psi-Titan

Chamber Orientalis of the Ordo Sinister

By the will and command of the Emperor of Mankind, the seal of the Ordo Sinister was given to Rogal Dorn by First Prefect Aurum of the Chamber Orientalis when the hour came that no weapon could not and should not be used. Prefect Cadamia walked Orientalis-Echion in the Mercury-Exultant kill-zone twenty-four kilometres from Mercury Wall, stepping into the black abyss of a vortex missile blast and emerging unharmed as it absorbed its eldritch power to fuel the ciricrux anima. Within minutes of entering the combat zone, Orientalis-Echion scored two engine kills against daemon titans of the Legio Mortis. At seven kilometres from Mercury Wall, the enemy loosed their Warmaster Heavy Battle Titans whose massed fire overwhelmed the Psi-Titan's ability to repair and heal itself. Its reactor exploded into a shrieking sphere of cold light which expanded out and collapsed back, folding in to become a singularity of utter blackness.
