The Custodes are elitist jerks, too expensive to produce, and just hang out around the palace being the big E's lapdogs. Let's not forget they had one job, just one as in protecting the Emporer and failed at that by being fooled and bested by "lowly" Astartes. The cowards should go fight some Nids if they really wanna help the Emporer.

31:20 If I recall correctly, the soulbinding-ritual was the method by which sanctioned imperial psykers are basically shielded from becoming a pawn to Chaos - a necessity for them to be permitted to use their power in service to units such as the Imperial guard and Inquisitors' retinues. The "feeding" of the Emperor, however, is left as the fate of those deemed unworthy or incapable of going through the soulbinding ritual

I hope not. I'm sat on the toilet and I've never felt so intimidated in my life. At least my evacuation was swiftened.

[@daniellindsey7025]

Well this came out just in time for me to watch before I go to work. Thank you very much Lore Master.

indeed the Astartes and the Custodes are both tools but the first are meant to be mass produced, used, then discarded the second are crafted with love and care, meant to be the sharpest of tool, the most prized of possessions.

This was a fantastic video, I will be sure to share it with all the Custodie Bros I know!

Thanks LCB. ;)

Another fine work Uncle Baldermort. Ty for this. You have no idea what your videos mean to me. Stuck in my house, in quarantine, unable to leave cause of my COVID condition, no contact with the outside world beyond the internet and your videos. You are a master storyteller and I wish with all my heart to meet you someday. Take you and the Mrs. out to a good dinner and regale you with my own tales and express to you just what your videos mean to us, your faithful audience. I’m proud to sponsor you and encourage others to do the same. Not with just Patreon but with a subscription, like or share. Ty for all you do. Kenneth

[@baldermort]

I truly hope things get better for you soon brother. Take the very best of care. Thank you for being so kind.

[@raymanx187]

That ending though... This confirms it! I am starting a Custodies army!

[@kccustodes2618]

Well done, Bard Baldermort! This is truly magnificent work and I thank you from the bottom of my heart. Not only is this video a master piece, but so is your work about the Blood Spears and Imperial Fists. Those videos, and all, have helped me deal with depression and anxiety during that chaotic times.

[@baldermort]

I’m glad I could help even a tiny bit. You got this. ;)

[@adrienwatson2179]

@@baldermort Agreed. I am not prone to emotional outbursts....but my god, the Blood Spears story..... Someone must have been chopping Onions in my vicinity when you narrated the final portion of that story. A masterpiece

[@tarn1135]

@@adrienwatson2179 the blood spears story was simply amazing! Personally I’d have loved to see a decently animated or cgi of it. However sometimes just hearing a story like that does something more justice then seeing it.

[@adrienwatson2179]

@@tarn1135 Agreed wholeheartedly I dont think anyone could convey the emotions of that scene when the old friends are reunited... Masterful

fucking masterpeice video, from structure to presentation. A thousand heavy bolter rounds of applause for you good sir.

[@alrethianscraftsbattles]

Yes! Friday, baldermort day! As always i am looking forward to these video's. Excellent work again brother Baldermort 👍👍👍

[@somewhereyouarent]

Baldermort is honestly Morgan Freeman level narrator. I am so glad I just discovered your work. I just turned 41 and Warhammer has never pulled me in so tightly as it has the past week...WOW. I don't know how this world isn't as big as star wars or any other major movie franchise... Your delivery is IMPECCABLE, Baldermort. Thank you.

[@jackrusso4700]

Hey, new subscriber here (as of this comments posting, I’ve been one for 35 seconds), I’m not even a minute in and I’ve already been HOOKED with the sound design, narration, and storytelling capability showcased in the first 54 seconds alone. Amazingly done

[@AbsolutelyWill93]

Listening to this… idk how GW expects The LuperCAN’T, Failbbadon, to beat the 10,000… he nearly lost to Old Man Sigismund, and he was just a Space Marine… HOW will he best the LIONS of the Emperor that would all perish before they allow him one footfall on Terra?? Give us a Demon Primarch and then we’ll talk GW. Give me Lorgar!

[@adrienwatson2179]

Truth. But to be fair, Lorgar probably wouldnt do well against a guy like Valdor, who stands to to toe with the likes of Horace and Rogal Dorn. Hes always been the weakest combat Primarch. Perterabo... That's a WHOLE other story

[@Kristian.B.Kristiansen]

Custodies have fallen to the might of the Bringers of Despair, the Terminator Elite of the Black Legion. As written in "Fall of Cadia" Abaddon is the master of two Emperor slaying weapons in The Talon and Drach’nyen! Please let this dammed lie of a meme die.

[@adrienwatson2179]

@@Kristian.B.Kristiansen Not so much a Meme. It's just 40k powerscaling is absolutely absurd and pretty GrimDerp. So Calgar can smash Abaddons jaw so hard that he lifts him off the ground and throw him.. But a Custodes can crush a Chapter Mastet like hes a 6 year old vegan. So GW had kinda exacerbated the meme.

[@AbsolutelyWill93]

@@adrienwatson2179 I honestly would LOVE to see Perty’s new look and see how he’s adapting to the ole Daemonhood thing! I just don’t see him unifying and rallying Chaos factions unless he pops out of the eye with like… a cool new Abominable Intelligence Warp Legion thingy! That would be awesome! Plus, it’d finally give my Iron Warriors mates some much needed love!

Lorgar is busy checking his bed every night because of a certain vengeful Liam Neeson sounding raven
