Hey everyone. Tristian here with a little blurb about the recent updates to the Adeptus Custodes Beta rules that were recently released over the weekend.
I have taken the time (about 30 min) to go over each of the data sheets and the point levels and have listed all the changes and differences I was able to find when I had the old version on my phone and the new version on my iPad, side by side. I apologize ahead of time if I have missed anything during this brief review and any spelling errors (some of these names are insane!). I also did not mention any of the rules or points for the Ares Gunship at all as it was a new unit completely.
It your interested in reviewing these changes for yourself please follow this link to the Games Workshop community page and download the PDF:
