Looks like some Tartaros pattern Terminators, Custodes, and mark III armor. Some kind of Space Wolf out in front with a Wolf Claw, maybe Bjorn?

I'm definitely keeping my eye on this! I really dig the Thousand Sons!

Very excited by this all weekend - couple of things I noticed: - 2 Space wolves in the bottom right of the pic, covered up (sort of) by the White Dwarf TW:WH download card
- 1 of which looks like it could be Bjorn the fell handed, pre-dreadnought lyfe
- That thousand sons terminator on the far left of the image - tartaros pattern armor
- MKIII legionaires, to get some variety in the plastic range (now have MKIV and MKIII)
- Thousand Sons transfers (THANK GOD)
- Custodes look amazing - also look like they're on 40mm bases? Can anyone else confirm what my tired eyes are noticing? That would make them as large as terminators roughly, despite seemingly wearing power armor - would go along with the narrative that they are not just "terran space marines" but a step up, larger, stronger, more elite, built specifically as the Emperor's bodyguard/personal task force. Small army, but with bigger/stronger models (aka 40k Ogres).
Very excited, can't wait for November to get my legion expanding. Wondering what else we'll see in the box, rumors of a plastic deredeo (doubt it) or a plastic sicaran (also doubt it). Could just be tartaros, MKIII, some characters, and the small custodes task force seen here.
EDIT: Just realized will already summarized all of my points in his original post lol I need coffee

I feel like plastic sicarans would fly off the shelves.

One theory I agree with is that the characters will be kind of stand ins. The Thousand Sons sorcer looks like Ahiriman, the Wolf looks like Bjorn and the Custodes character looks like Valador. Close enough that they can be used in Age of Darkness games until FW makes their versions down the line.

The custodes are absolutely enormous, look at the terminator with lightning claws on the far left of the picture and then the custodes. very cool.
i know it's for 30k but everything thus far has also gotten rules for 40k. I wonder if they will get a 40k statline and the ability to join imperial forces

Close enough that they can be used in Age of Darkness games until FW makes their versions down the line. There has been a lot of speculation as well that GW plastics are going to replace future "mid-level" character series models. With the technology they have now to produce extremely detailed/complicated plastic sculpts, for cheaper than FW can in resin, it makes sense that they would shift it over to the other side of the company. You don't lose any quality, they are cheaper for consumers to purchase, and it lets FW focus on their (massive) backlog of other projects - the primarchs, the books/rules themselves, and additional support units for the legions. We're already at a point where there are 5-7 named characters/primarchs without models, and that will only grow if FW has to sculpt them all.

Tim, splitsies? I need the Ahriman and some (20 or so) MK 3 marines - take or leave the tartaros (I have 10 cataphractii already). Also have no need for the custodes/sisters...
EDIT: Who am I kidding? I might as well get my own, and just build my legion from 4000 points to 5000. 20 tacticals, 10 breachers, 5 tartaros for flexibility (and some volkite it looks like? in plastic!). Either way I'll be getting rid of custodes, sisters, and the SW character if there are any takers.

I am the most interested in the custodes, sisters and the SW character of course. I may have to take you up on that.

Yeah those are the 3 things that I don't need, so we could just determine the value of those 3 units, and split the thing.
