    Legio Custodes Vehicles?

    Anyone know of any vehicles they use? I haven't been able to find anything on their vehicles other than jetbikes and hover-Rhinos, are there any other vehicles they were known to use?

    Also, the Sisters of Silence, are there any that they are known for?

    Custodes hover rhino = best rhino

    yep, i completely agree on the grav-rhino being the best

    I'm trying to find out if there are any other vehicles the Custodes used besides jetbikes and grav-rhinos though

    Well considering they fielded Terminator armoured legionnaires they probably had Land Raiders too.

    Is that an image from Collected Visions?

    Yes it is. That book also has images of jetbikes (as previously mentioned) and dreadnoughts (although whether that counts as a vehicle is debatable in itself). There aren't any images of a custodes land raider, however. It would be an easy assumptions to make as they have terminator armour (again as previously stated).

    There is an illustration of a Custodes Land Raider (see below) somewhere in Collected Visions (or at the very least on an Horus Heresy CCG card), it was reproduced in the 2005 WD issue (sorry can't give the exact #), where they presented Dave Taylor's Custudes army....
    Thus it's not merely a probability, they used Land Raiders too!

    Also while the Hover-Rhino is cool and everything, I doubt the Custodes had enough of these to be able to not also use the normal Rhino.

    ==========

    As far as the Sisters of Silence go, I can't think of any mention of their vehicules, be it in written or illustrated form.

    Just for reference, Collected Visions, pg.381, top row, second from the left ('Shield of The Imperium - Custodian Land Raider').

    Wasn't anti-grav technology a lot more prevalent up until the Heresy, or is that just restricted to Jetbikes?

    Surely that landraider is wrong. Going by the trend it should be a hover landraider

    Pretty sure the hover ones were mainly for use in the fighting in the webway? So I'd say they'd have normal ones aswell.

    Well before the Horus attacked Terra the Land Raider was the Imperiums standard heavy transport of all it's forces it was only when the Emperor saw that Horus had gone loco that he ordered they be turned over to the Astartes exclusively.

    As such all Imperial forces fielded Land Raiders pre-heresy.
