Love the message to relax and enjoy Sounds like great advise today

Great job and thank you. There's not nearly enough stories about the Custodes in action. This was very much a treat. Your stories are the best. If only they were longer. Sorry but the more the better lol.

What always raises Baldermort’s productions above the mass of “lore masters” on KZbin is on full display here, novel-quality fan fiction that brings the subject to LIFE, with class, eloquence and insight. Well done, sir.

Love that inspiring little tale of the Eagle. I love when the Custodes and even the Astartes are used in an inspiring kind of way where they come in, only a few too, and change the course of a hopeless battle. Always awesome

[@harrysboylan]

I like to imagine the Custodes had earphones in the entire time, listening to asmr of the endless humming, bubbling and clanking the golden throne makes

I always enjoy learning more about Custodes. Thanks Balders!

[@tumage8592]

I think they are the most interesting faction to learn about, while not my favourite army, which I think is interesting

[@justinc246]

Another video from the lord of lore Baldemort, auto click. On a personal note these videos and some other battle report channels got my to start my first 1k army (Salamanders) and the early start of a second (picked up a Custodes shield captain). I’m no painter but found some used models and love my little army. Your depiction of the Salamanders drew me to get my first 1k points of them and I hope I’ll find some local games. I thank you, my wallet does not

Baldermort, as much as I loved this entry, I loved your words towards the end even much more. I had a tough day and it just shook me up a bit hearing these words in your warm voice. It really build me up, because over the past two days I feld I had barely time and mood to listen or comment on your content and felt bad for it. But you are right, I shall move on this in my own pace and enjoy every second of it, whenever I can!

This is my favorite custodes story now. I mean Holly hell that is great. You are probably the only content creator WHO takes custodes as seriously as i am. I love it.

[@XIIIUDSP]

This was another wonderful entry Baldermort and Mrs B too. I especially liked the little nugget of wisdom re the hobby. Love your work and can't wait for the next one.

[@kiltedcripple]

Baldermort does such an exemplary job of creating for each faction their own little sense of place within this greater cosmos. Like, his voice gives hundreds of characters and factions their own voice. He's made the Custodes feel like Custodes should, like even in a universe full of metahuman, over the top characters, there are gods, and then there are GODS. That's an impressive skill, to not just acknowledge that there are levels to the game, but to be able to describe each level with a unique grandeur. Bravo good sir, and Mrs. Her music choices definitely contribute to the atmosphere of which I speak.

[@keppa8644]

Well someone is excited for the new box set.

[@Baldermort]

A bit. :)

[@eichler721]

Love the story. You caoture there epic nature perfect. Glad Chris Wraight started writing the Custodes as he did them justice. One of the best GW writers for sure.

[@PelinalDidNothingWrong]

Custodes have such great designs yet I've never met anybody who actually has a Custodes army. I wish more people played them

[@koreyclark5677]

Same here! I am currently saving to buy a full custodes army (my absolute favourite army in all of fiction) what I really wanted from the new codex was wardens that could use guardian spears & storm shields because I think that would look SO fucking cool! (Think golden space hop lights lol)

[@nickbaspaly6239]

Man I'm ten minutes deep and totally in love with jet bikes now , awesome so far . You always deliver the best stories

[@baronobeefdipyes5181]

Forgive me Baldemort if you have done so, but I always love the lore behind the Custodes but have you done or planned anything for the Contemptor Galatus Dreadnought?

[@Baldermort]

I’ve not yet. I’ll try to get to it. Nudge me in a week or three. :)

[@inquisitorgarza312]

These are the most deadliest cavalry unit in all of the Imperium of Mankind. The Emperor Personal Guard train with these technological marvels with such intensity and vigor that no other unit in the Galaxy can deliver such a fast and destructive strike that no ordinary unit can survive it, and the Emperor Legion are merciless in the total destruction of their enemies.

[@generaldemolka4455]

Absolutely glorious, both the story and the narration. Every time after I excercise and listen to these videos it fills me with even more strenght. Will have to start another army I guess...

I am super excited for the new box of Custodes vs Genestealer cult, but imo it seems weird to put such an elite army against such a hoard/low point per model army Also from a lore standpoint it seems like a bit of an odd matchup; but that’s just my opinion and a mild criticism

[@wanderhillen2435]

From a lore standpoint, the Custodes will get themselves involved anytime they think the Big E could be endangered in any way, doesn't really matter what shape, race or form the enemy has. A genestealer rebellion on Terra seems like such a situation.

[@louiswilkins9624]

Genestealers on Terra, immediate threat. Custodes will be there.

[@goingforgold_8536]

@@louiswilkins9624 don’t get me wrong guys, I totally agree that if a Genestealer cult were to rise up the Custodes would get involved! Again, I just realistically don’t see either Terra or Mars falling prey to one. The constant searching for heresy/defects in the cradle of humanity would be way too potent imo. But hey, then again, just my opinion folks, even if you don’t agree we can still say that the box looks great and it’ll be a good time!

[@koreyclark5677]
