First day leaks
Same from the White Dwarf entry

Inviolable Psyche
---
Custodian Armor doesn't give an invul, but they come with refractor field (5++)
Custodes Terminator Armor gives 2+ 4++ Relentless, can't run but can overwatch and sweep. So better Cataphractii
Praesidium Shields let them re-roll invul saves and cause a -1 for enemies to hit them in melee
All Custodes infantry can buy Teleportation Transponders which give them Deep Strike.
Vexilla can be taken 1 per squad. Gives Fear, Re-roll failed Ld tests, +1 to combat resolution in a 12" bubble (doesn't stack with other vexillas). Applies to all friendly models.
Arae-Shrikes blow things off coarse. Deep Strikers in 12" before scatter can be forced to mishap on a 4+. This is similar to what the Castellum can do. Barrage weapons also scatter 3d6 choosing the highest. These are pretty meaningful bonuses!
Plain Guardian Spear
Melta Guardian Spear
Adrathic Guardian Spear
Paragon Spear - Combine the Paragon Blade with a Guardian Spear
Solarite Power Gauntlets/Talons - Like the Imperial Fist versions but with a Lightning Claw version
Adrathic weapons are shooting weapons. S5 Ap6 Instant Death, Armourbane, gets Hot. This seems like it's for knocking out light armor or artillery.
Adrastus Bolt Caliver is what the new Gun-stodes have. It's like a combination of Bolt and Volk in heavy metal form.
ver A 30" Heavy Bolter / ver B 12" S5 AP2 Instant Death, Armourbane, get's hot.
Arachus Blaze cannon (Burst fire) 36" S6 AP5 3 shots / (Concentrated) 48" S8 AP1 1 shot, exoshock (remember this one from the new Deredeo las cannons?)
Squads are all 3-10 models unless stated otherwise
HQ
Shield Captain - What you would expect, full armory. Can be upgraded to a 'Tribune' gaining Fearless, Eternal Warrior and a Warlord Trait, meaning that's what you want if you want to run these guys as your Primary detachment.
Valdor (named character?)
Eternal Warrior, Crusader, Fearless and more!
AP2 Spear with +1/+2S that has Instant Death on a Wound 4+ roll! Bolter shots are S5 AP2 Concussive, OUCH! Also forces invul saves to be re-rolled! Question is does the instant death and forced re-roll count for the bolter shots too?
Also gives all Custodes free Deep Strike and can re-roll to steal the initiative. Yeah this guy is out for BLOOD! Do NOT fuck around!
Elites
Hetaron Guard Squad "veterans"
A3, can mix and match their war gear. Have Crusader and Counter-attack, making them seem more assault oriented.
Aquilon Terminators (can't wait to see THESE mad motherfuckers!)
Lastrum Storm Bolters. Yup they're proper storm blotters with Heliothermic Rounds. Solarite Gauntlets or Talons and that's just to start! Can trade Storm blotters for Firepikes (Template S6 AP6 Torrent). YUP that sounds about right!
Contemptor Achillus (We've seen him but he's not on FW yet)
Twin Lastrom Bolters on the Wrist. Refractor field for 5++? No Automantic Shielding? Contemptor Profile with S8 and SA13. Can take a Master Crafted Spear that…hang on…that causes StrD wounds on any Hit 6s when it charges! THE HELL YOU SAY!
Troops
Guardian Squad
Spear guys, we know these. Can mix n match the 3 non-paragon spear types. 1 Vexilla option.
Sentinel Guard Squad (saw these before but they're Troops now)
Shield barricade - 4+ cover instead of Def Grenades. Can swap their Swords for Solarite Gauntlets/talons for more points. This demands some new kits or upgrade sets for the plastic kits.
Dedicated Transport
Coronus (JUST came out)
TC12 (6 Custodes) FA12 SA12 RA11 HP4
Flare Shield and Machine Spirit. Has a TL bolt weapon on the hull and a TL Las weapon on the turret. Just what you'd expect it to be.
Fast Attack
Jetbike Squad (Ohhhh i'm looking forward to seeing these bad boys!)
3-6 models, Split fire, Sweeping fire (they can shoot each of their weapons). What weapons you say? Ilastus Bolt Cannon and it can be upgraded with a special Power Lance.
Pallas Grav-attack skimmer
FA12 SA11 RA11 HP2 Flare Shield, machine Spirit. Can be taken in Squadrons of 1-3. Has TL hull las weapons. May be the best skimmers/Land Speeders the Imperium has!
Heavy Support
Sagittarum Squad
Bolter Custodes that may be more like a Heavy Support squad.
Caladius (PDF available on FW)
The Sicaran style hover tank but the top turret can upgrade to a new Heavy Blaze Cannon.
Contemptor Galatus (this is the one that's currently available)
Sword with x2S (S10) AP2 Shred, Rampage and Shield that let's it re-roll its invul save against all attacks in the front arc and close combat. Sword comes with a S6 Heavy Flamer
---
Sisters of Silence
2 Levels of Psychic null. Elites and HQs get better versions.
All have Hatred (psykers) and Fearless! Hoo-yah!
Cadre: All sisters get a single bonus special rule of your choice. Infiltrate seems like the best one at the moment...
- Infiltrate / Crusader / Stealth / Overawe (+1 to combat resolution)
Execution blades are AP3 but gain AP2 on a Hit5-6 roll. Also have Duelists Edge (+1I in challenges)
Have Access to Needle Pistols which are an Apothecary thing. Also have an Assault 2 version.
Sisters are in the same army collection as the Custodes BUT you have to take at least 1 Sister HQ to include them. Maybe think of them a little like the shattered legion in that its one army but 2 menus to choose from each with an HQ buy in. BUT! 1 Sisters HQ only gets you 1-3 Sisters units…yeaaahhh.
So get yer Allied detachment ready!
HQ
Oblivion Knight-Centura
Captain type, basic weapons, SoS haven't been that fancy in the war gear department. 4++ becomes 3++ against templates and blasts, kinda like Hardened Armour in a way.
Excrusiatus Cadre
Command Squad like it sounds. 2A and better war gear though what that counts for i dunno.
Janetia Krole (named character)
Super human profile. Rage, Preferred Enemy (Characters & Psykers), eternal warrior! She is not going away without a fight!
Sword +2S Ap2 2-handed, Murderous Strike on 5-6, Duelists edge. Yeah she wants to hit you with a better Paragon Blade!
This is interesting, can upgrade 1 Oblivion Knight Squad to her "Raptor Cadre", i guess like a chosen warrior thing. Gives that unit +1WS.
WT: Re-roll to seize initiative. D3 Infantry units gain Scout. love it
Elites
Oblivion Knights
Veteran Squad. Executioner Blades can be traded for Power Axes. I'm looking forward to seeing those!

Dedicated Transport
Kharon Pattern Acquistor (bless you)
FA12 SA11 RA10 HP4 TC12 2 TL missile Launchers with Frag, Krak and Psyk-out missiles. WOO!
Tank Shocks cause D6 S5 HoW attacks before any Death or Glory attacks. What's that you say? REAL tangible benefit for slamming a tank into a blob wherever they may be?
Also has Stealth and -1BS to enemy shooting against it from more than 12". and JUST in case you thought it was over, it's also an Assault Vehicle. Hot DAMN it sounds like a hovery Land Raider!
Fast Attack
Pursuer Cadre
3-6 Sisters with a Sgt. 3-6 Beasts (cyber-jackals or bird flock) Where are my huntin dawgs!
