I’m imagining a slightly larger than primaris sized custode trying to infiltrate anything.

[@tunguskalumberjack9987]

Jeremy Grant I actually just finished reading the story “Blood Games” where Amon infiltrated the Imperial Palace. Apparently, to do so he used concealed displacer fields to “disguise his height and bulk.” I have no idea how this is supposed to work, but that’s their explanation.

[@jeremygrant1325]

Mark Brigandi right. Like when he has to duck to get through a human sized doorway, does his hologram also duck? 😂

[@tunguskalumberjack9987]

Jeremy Grant Hahaha- I was thinking that, too- coincidentally, also about doorways! Like a guard (who’s watching the Custode) hearing someone hit their head on the doorway, and seeing this guy’s head that’s a full foot and a half below the top of the doorway just snap back- “uhh, sir? Something’s a bit ... off in here. Must be some Warp-type shit-“🤣. Or bumping into a guy who you’re not even CLOSE to bumping into- it would take some serious planning to pull something off and have nobody notice.

A Custodes is to an Astartes like the Emperor is to a Primarch. They’re just on a completely different level.

[@BouncingTribbles]

Not really. Custodes are Captain America; Space marines are terrifying monsters that can survive in a vacuum, have multiple hearts and other redundant organs, and can spit poison. The Custodes process is the basis of one step of many in the space marine creation process

[@StephenHenryIV]

BoneWulfe what? Custodes are not military police. I think you’re thinking of the Arbites. The Custodes are the Emperors bodyguard and served as his own personal army during the unification wars, great crusades, and Horus heresy. They still to this day act as diplomats, assassins, commanders, advisors on behalf of the Emperor, and above all else his bodyguard. It’s stated all over the place that Custodes just butcher marines even when out numbered and only are bested by some of the most horrifying things out there (Gal Vorbak, Primarchs, Greater Demons, War Automata). I’m not sure if you know how ridiculous Captain America gets in the lore, but it’s insane. He comes back to life multiple times, Battle reality warping gods, destroys planets, and all kinds of other silliness. I wouldn’t say Custodes are that crazy, but the Marvel universe and 40k universe are way too different. We don’t know the exact process for making a Custodes. It’s left purposefully vague. But just look at the rules for a Custodes compared to a regular marine and 1 for 1 are way better.

[@BouncingTribbles]

@@StephenHenryIV I didn't realize that was a quote. I stand by my point other than the power scale though. They are artisan superhumans, the space marines are biogenetic cyborgs

[@BouncingTribbles]

@@StephenHenryIV so I'm not arguing. Lol. Sorry for being obtuse. My point is just that the process used to make the Custodes was simplified to create the Genemodificaton that space marines undergo

[@StephenHenryIV]

BoneWulfe it’s good. I’ve just never seen Custodes reference to as “military police” just kinda took me aback. Usually only hear that in reference to the arbites. I think you’re right about the process used to make Custodes being simplified, but that’s in reference to the Marines version being the simplified one of the Custodes. Custodes came 1st so it wouldn’t make sense for the Custodes to be the simplified version of the marine treatment. It’s hard to say on that front though as there’s no explicit statements in how a Custodes is made other than they once were humans (so not clones or vat grown). I’d say maybe a more apt comparison would be cars. Guardsmen are cheap, dilapidated wrecks just trying to get through the day. Marines are mid level pick up truck that are massed produced, but are reliable. Custodes are custom luxury cars that are crafted by master artisans, each high in, hard to replicate, but better individually.

Question(s): 1) How many Custodes exist in total, and 2) how are Custodes numbers replenished if killed, or are they irreplaceable? P.S. Cool video! Thx for this . . . .

[@micheal5973]

Originally there were 10,000. Currently there could be as little as 300. That’s the only number we get but it’s just the number of them inside the throne room itself at all times. 2: unknown. There’s theories that custodes are just those that are left since the heresy. But another one is that custodes arnt actually custodes anymore just space marines in fancier armour. They used to be able to talk to big e through dreams but none have in several hundred years, and they can only last a few decades in the throne room before literally burning out when the original custodes would fight beside big e in protracted battles with him both maintaining the astronomicon and throwing titans around with his mind and actively using his powers instead of being a glorified night light

[@masondonabedian4271]

Custodian numbers are supposedly kept at about ten thousand, as was the tradition left over from the days of the Great Crusade. They are not irreplaceable as many people seem to think, there is a whole tradition of the various noble families of Terra giving their firstborn sons to the Custodes just after birth so that they might achieve higher purpose. The custodian candidates promptly have their names changed so as to allow the families whose children do not survive to save face. Do note that while I do enjoy the quality of this video, many of the things stated are not accurate, it would take too long to list them all. If you are curious about more, check out the 8th edition Custodes Codex and the Horus Heresy novel "Master of Mankind". Hope all this helps!

should do a video on who would win in a fight between a Custodes and the Grey Knights

[@spiritvdc5109]

Most likely the Custodes, because while the Grey Knights have pure gene-seed derived from the Emperor, they are still Astartes in form and capability, with their ultra-elite status coming from their mental capabilities and specialized anti-Chaos wargear, while the Custodes are as far above the Astartes as the Emperor was above the Primarchs, gene-crafted beings on a completely different level who are designed to utterly eliminate any threat that falls under their gaze... basically the Grey Knights are highly specialized Astartes designed specifically to hard-counter daemonic threats, while the Custodes are head and shoulders above even the concept of Astartes and are designed to obliterate any opponent, be they mortal, spiritual or otherwise.

I always think of Horus, essentially a child with a bombvest compared to an adult soldier- sure he had great power to kill but he was also primed for self destruction and pretty much unable to do anything else, whereas the soldier is able to use creative thinking to achieve objectives and who has plenty of potential even after serving his purpose as a soldier

[@jeremyw.norwood1453]

By the time Horus arrived in orbit around Terra the Chaos gods had both individually and together gifted him such mutations/enhancements, along with imbuing in him a focused, singular purpose that he was basically the perfect assassin to be set against the Emperor. That being said, it doesn't mean that Horus was even equally as powerful as the Emperor of Mankind, he wasn't... His abilities were given & directed by the Chaos gods and this was done with only one purpose in mind; destroying the entity known as the Emperor of Mankind. So, I highly doubt that Horus could have say, created his own Dark Emporium, or even organized enough resources to launch his own galaxy spanning crusade in order to do so... ie. Horus wasn't more powerful than the Emperor, he was simply the perfect tool to use in taking down the Emperor is all.

First, bear in mind I am firmly in the camp that even a Primarch would be wise to be wary of a Custodes. Especially now. These are the Emperor's dedicated guard, and the greatest threat he ever faced was a rogue Primarch. The boys in gold have had ten millennia to brush up on Primarch beatdown protocol. I know the Custodes power level is all over the place due to GWs lack of oversight and their declaration that nearly everything is canon. I just like the idea that for all the hype of Astartes & Primarchs, there's whole gang of superdupersoldiers hangin' out in the basement that would eat the lunch of the unwary demigod and/or their progeny in short order.

[@terryhughes1649]

Physically in every aspect a custodes is far superior. However grey knights and custodes were made for diff purposes. On one hand custodes excell in everything, bigger, stronger, faster, smarter and are more emotionally detached, incorruptible against chaos taint. However they were intended to also team up with sisters of silence who null out psyker/chaos power. On the other hand grey knights are basically space marines specifically made to combat chaos/daemons, and are all psykers. Id put my money on the custodes but its a tough one. What about you friend, who'd you choose?

So Chaos tricked Horus into turning traitor, because they convinced him that with their help he could defeat the emperor and take over, but really all he did was turn the emperor into a future chaos god, kinda like the birth of Slaanesh, humans will have a “God” in the warp.. that’s actually kind of fun to think about, lol, I wish the lore had ONE BOOK, call it “An Emperors Dream” , and make it a book that only THE READERS know exist and it just shows the things that the emperor wanted to accomplish, who is he, his mission, just random facts about the emperor, that doesn’t have to change Anything because ultimately it won’t affect anything because ONLY THE READERS will KNOW THIS STUFF, and it is purposely kept a secret from EVERYBODY WHO EXISTS IN 40K, I wouldn’t mind at all, if The Emperor of Man kind had a secret agenda, or if he is from a Race of beings know a “Pures” , who basically created weaker humans, so they could “play god” , just like Chaos, they wanted their own weaker versions of themselves, that they could enhance, teach, and turn into their loyal worshippers… so perfect humans made less perfect humans, so they be the Chaos gods of the material world, and that’s why Horus was mad, because He felt like his father was selfish, and a liar, because he waged war with the galaxy, knowing we could never win, but as long as we fight in the name of the emperor, he’ll grant us with his favor,

The lore is quite inconsistent. I would argue that in all likelihood Custodes are a little better than Space Marines, comparable to high ranking Space Marines/ heroes. They are generally more proficient in single combat, whereas Astartes excel in squad tactics. Of course Custodes are rigorously selected from the best. However, Primaris should be able to give them a run for their money, when it comes to physical prowess. Especially the already experienced Astartes that were upgraded to Primaris.
