Army Wide Rules: (Via Garro)

Custodes

Preternatural skill, the sodality, and inviolable psyche are unchanged from their WD rules.

Custodian armour doesn't give an invulnerable save, but all units have refractor field.

Praesidum shield confers a rerolll to invuln saves (against shooting and in combat), but doesn't give a 4+ anymore, just a -1 to hit them while in combat.

Custodes Terminator Armour = 2+/4++, relentless, can't run but can overwatch and sweeping advance.

All custodes infantry can take teleportation transponders.

Vexilla can be taken 1 per squad, confers fear, reroll failed leadership tests, and +1 to combat resolution to all friendly units within 12" (doesn't stack for multiples).

New wargear option called "arae-shrikes" any enemy unit attempting to deepstrike within 12" of a model with one of these (before scatter) must roll a d6, on a 4+ it suffers a mishap, even if it has rules otherwise (internal guidance systems etc). Also causes barrage weapons fired against the squad to roll 3d6 scatter taking the highest.

Guardian Spear has 3 versions, plain, melta and Adrathic

Custodes can have paragon spear (paragon blade meets guardian spear)

Cusodes have access to solarite power gaunlets and talons (what imperial fists have, with a lightning claw version)

Adrathic weapons are a set of guns,str5-6 ap, instant death, armourbane, gets hot

Adrastus bolt caliver (what the new 'bolter' guys have on the cover), two versions -
30" range heavy bolter

Disintegration Beam which is 12" str5 ap2 instant death, armourbane, gets hot. Not a combi-weapon.

Arachus blaze cannon has two profiles -

Burst fire 36" str6 ap5 3shots

Concemtrated 48" str8 ap1 1shot, exoshock

Sisters of Silence

Two levels of psychic nulling, best bits reserved for elites and HQs won't go into it here, too much.

All sisters are fearless and have hatred (psykers).

All sisters belong to a cadre, all sisters in a detachment are from the same cadre, gain one of the follow (your pick)
-infilrate
-crusader
-stealth
-overawe (+1 to combat resolution)

Execution blade is only ap3, but has duelists edge (+1i in challenges) and is ap2 on rolls to hit of 5 or 6.

Have access to needle pistols and an assault2 gun version
