40 Facts and Lore about the Adeptus Custodes Warhammer 40K

[@SpartanMDC113]

Their combat effectiveness is due to their ability to slide around the battlefield and suffer no friction penalty

[@harryhowes4647]

SpartanMDC113 hehehe

[@engineermole2688]

They are also know to be followed by Oil takers and are unnuddered

[@murderc27]

It is known

[@thewallofguns550]

Kitten is my favorite custode.

[@TopHatdudeman]

Kitten truly is the best custode. He makes EXCELLENT tea!

[@thewallofguns550]

[@fahmifachruddin5829]

of course he is the best custode, after all... he is a captain general for all that naked guys :V

[@OneMindSyndicate]

We still need to watch that series

[@Lashrath]

They infiltrate noble houses like.. ok there is that 3 meters tall guy with extensive imperial tattoos and more muscles than 2 space marines.... he simply blends into the crowd.

[@tobiashagstrom4168]

I know they can use holographic tech to appear more or less like normal humans, the Emperor screwed around with this tech quite a bit from what I've heard.

[@Lashrath]

Ah okay... though an emp blackout would be funny as hell... "Lok how strange that Little Jhonny suddenly grew 2 standard meters in height and gained 150 likogramms of muscle since we lost power" :D

[@Lashrath]

Or when he can't fit through doors :D

[@tobiashagstrom4168]

Lashrath I remember it mentioned that a priest guy (who I think was the last christian or something) thought it odd that the man (who unbeknowst to him was the Emperor) made a chair creak when he sat in it. The short story is kinda interesting as well. The Emperor basically goes Richard Dawkins on the priest, in an attempt to decovert him before his church is to be destroyed by his crew, who unbeknowst to the priest are waiting outside. The Emperor fails to persuade him, but the priest deconverts once he sees the Emperor's true form, because he realizes that the figure he had seen before in what he though was a vision from god was actually the Emperor. Being old and just having gotten his home, faith, purpose and decades of identity take from him, he commits suicide by walking back into the church as it's being destroyed.

[@Lashrath]

The story of someone Richard Dawkins-ed to death. Poor guy. Great story though.

[@stephenlanoue5041]

most badass janitors ever

[@Raumance]

After they are done sweeping there is no floor.

[@stephenlanoue5041]

[@SollowP]

Ay ya ya ya yaaaaaaaaaaa

[@Become-Eggplant]

OH sorry, I just like playing it when I'm watching this video. Very Fitting. (No Pun intended)

[@TravisJohnsonncc1701]

Just a note: the Warhammer characters have classicla Latin pronunciations. Legio is pronounced "Leg - ee - oh." Custode is pronounced "Cuhs-toh-days."

[@OneMindSyndicate]

Thanks we will work on that for the future. Latin is awesome we will strive to get it right

[@ConteAgreste]

I disagree. If is real classical pronunciation it should be: leghio (lèghio) and cu-sto-des (custòdes) with accent on ò. I'm italian, and studied latin and greek at high school

[@bobywan6162]

I disagree, whatever we may think, we cannot be sure of how words were pronounced in latin, only educated guesses...

[@Brother_Hussar]

Anyone came here to get more info about Kitten? xD

[@SkiniNinja]

What about kitten???

[@joelkreissman6342]

Hold on, Captain-General, been with the Emperor since the Heresy if not before, more names than anyone has time to recite... Could he be Constantine Valdor?

[@ChanMan257]

Paul Schroeer-Hannemann that's what I'm starting to think fam. Kitten is famous

[@JamesPolymer]

I believe he stands at the center of the gathering at 3:36.

[@michaelrosenstock9187]

SkinyNinja I was so waiting for this comment we need a 40 facts just on the characters of itehttsd

[@johnchukwudum673]

JamesPolymer if you start kaunting from the far left, you'll see Kitten. he is the fifth one.

[@alpacallama531]

You seemed to forget the most important part of some of the custodes. Where they are capable of boomerang-like flight when fighting giant red daemons that get triggered by the mention of the Space Wolves after doing a rather heinous deal in the heat of a most dangerous and threatening moment.

[@MegaKlc123]

Alpha Dumast wha?

[@SkiniNinja]

Logan Parnell watch if the emporer had a text-to-speech device then you'll understand why that's so funny.

[@voidjockey82]

* Cue Prime Clown *

[@finnley905]

I love how the Emperor looks at his at his 8ft space marines with superhuman speed, strength and power and thinks "You know? I need them bigger." So he creates 9ft grey knight phsycers with more muscle, faster, and stronger and thinks "Nah, not good enough." So creates, 10ft soldiers bigger, better, harder, faster with better training, weapons and all that good stuff and only then does he think "These might just do"

[@zeanamush]

There aren't nearly enough mentions of Kitten in this comment section. All conversation about the Custodes must involve lots of Kitten.

[@URKKfdf]

To enjoy this video properly, one should have the "pillarmen theme" on a loop in the backgound.

[@courier6875]

[@яМишка-е1ы]

I really like the fact that this information is collected on one channel and easy to access. I do, however, wish for a little bit more originality. No offense meant, but I feel like you're just reading the wiki page to me...there are straight up verbatim quotes you use.

[@FlynnMTaggart]

What about the fact that when they enter the Pillar Men's theme is heard?

[@Seccc]

Legio is prounounced Lee Jee Oh.

[@stunitech]

Sharklops I laughed out loud at that 😊. Seriously though yes it is indeed lee-gee-oh not lee-go. 👍

[@13Malkav]

fact n.1 about w40k , the closer you are to the emperor, the bigger you are

[@andrewabbey3669]

In addition to this, there are a MAY be few who are be looking for an perfect Red Aja gem so that they can complete a mask that'll make them immortal and allow them to become the ultimate lifeforms. Can't say for sure.

[@tristang4138]

Custodian? Janitorus Adepttus. Mop well, the bleach protects.

[@Batlord_Carcas]

The Missing link between Thunder Warriors and Space Marines, with the unique twist of exclusive political bodyguard. Adeptus Custodes are definitely interesting.

[@jesm1194]

so if they were founded prior to the unification wars, that makes them older or around the age of thunder warriors and without the negative traits of the warriors?

[@rogerrangel7492]

Suggestion: Dreadnoughts please

[@OneMindSyndicate]

Will do

[@rogerrangel7492]

awesome

[@JediNamkrow]

+OneMindSyndicate I like your guy's videos. Just one question for you. What do you think about the movie Event Horizon? Was that Chaos?

[@OneMindSyndicate]

Never seen it, we will have to check it out

[@JediNamkrow]

Thanks for the reply, I was watching one of your vids about the warp, and they pretty much describe the same way of travel then all hell breaks loose. Feels like a WH40k prequel or something.

[@pnp072000]

Who is physically superior in a contest of physical strength, an Adeptus Custodes or a Thunder Warrior?

[@JulienGiacomo]

Easily an Adeptus Custodes. Thunder warriors in a sense were the the prototype Astartes warrior and the Custodes were a step up above them in the totem pole.

[@pnp072000]

Julien Giacomo I heard that Thunder Warriors were physically larger and stronger than the regular Adeptus Astartes, but an Adeptus Astartes could beat one in hand to hand combat. I also know from this video that the Adeptus Custodes are also larger and physically stronger than the Adeptus Astartes so I'm wondering how tall and strong are they both?

[@Ally.Cat.252]

pnp072000 thunder warriors were stronger and more aggressive than spacemarines. Spacemarines are more tamed etc easier to control

[@OneMindSyndicate]

Raw power I would say a thunder warrior. Thunder warriors are like power lifters where spacemarines are football players or rugby

[@ghoulofmetal]

I knew i shouldn't read the wikia while listening to this, now i can't unhear that some of his line are almost word for word the same as the lexicanum ;/

[@DEMONX62]

Andras Petersen basically of his lines are word for word from the wikis or codexs

[@x-1584]

My understanding from reading the 1st heretic & etc, is that the custodes spears were a combo spear & a semi automatic projectile based weapon too, but I've never heard them being laser weapons alone & just notice the mag clip on the bottom of the weapons frame, unless of course some were indeed laser weapons & some projectile based if in fact that's a likely hood to there arsenal collection.

[@x-1584]

I always thought sense reading the warhammer novels that a combo of ancient greco roman warrior gear combined with future mechanized & electronic tech was hella fascinating. 👽👍

[@AngelEncarmine79]

Great video!!! What is the name of the music being played in the background?

[@rangevipercobra436]

I can't help but think of a heavily wounded barely alive Thunder warrior captain throwing around hundreds of custodes before he falls

[@rejectedwarinc.8614]

Well, Chaos has Heralds of Khorne, and we have the Adeptus Custodes, so as a angry space marine once said, "Come at us bro."

[@Shotgoat]

What is the music you use on these videos?

“How many blades have they turned, how many plots have they foiled ? On a world of intrigues and lies, they alone have remained true to their oaths in ten thousand years. To the rest of the empire, they are a myth, a legend with barely a place in the universe as most humans understand it. But still they fight, still they defend, still they protect the last thing standing between Mankind and its rightful place as a servant of the Pantheon.”

But the Adeptus Astartes can be, and their genetically grandsons of the Emperor?

[@archird07]

[@joshuaruwhiu5672]

The grey knights use the emperors own genetic material like the Custodes i believe, i may be wrong but that might be why Grey Knights haven't been corrupted

[@Tommy1977777]

Just as a point of info: Legio is pronounced as "Lee-gee-o". As you know, it is derived from the name of ancient roman legions or the roman term for "Legion".

[@joelusmaximus7720]

Primach vs costudes which is potentially stronger?

[@jl9062]

Primarch. A Primarch dominates a custodian. Yes, the custodians are very powerful beings, but Primarchs are on a whole different level. Although it was just an illusion, there was a scene in the novels where a Primarch (with no weapons) had to charge into a squad of custodians who were firing at him. The primarch took some shots from their firing, but nonetheless killed them all with ease.

[@yosophsindi7754]

Can your make one about desert crows

[@chadsknnr]

Perhaps, the Custodes were of the Thunder Warrior stock, the best and most loyal to the Emperor during the Unification Wars . . . .

QUESTION: Dont you guys think that the current lore is going heywire, and they are nearing the WH40k to a close like thay did with Fantasy? Cos Honestly this all started as a Model business, they are clearly going back to that, and the argument they posed also stands for 40k, not only fantasy: It lets them unleash creative freedom without heeding to the "bindings" of the storytelling. And how would you guys react as model fans (As a fantasy fan i would be sad). Also about the twilight zone type of series, i would LOVE to see an Inquisition show like that! New inquisitors and a different story every time, at the same time it would get more fans by showing people the amazing depth and darkness of the grim 40k universe. With Supernatural, Flash and American Horror story being hits in recent years, and the rise of 40k, im AMAZED they did not do it yet.
