From lore standpoint I love the fact that Custodes aren't just super soldiers. They are artists, scholars, scientists of countless fields, politicians and diplomats even. They aren't just the perfect warriors, they are defacto human. It is said that the emperor didn't just make them weapons, he made them as his companions in every sense of the word. They are the ones he can have a meaningful conversation with, and unlike their lesser Astartes brethren, they have actual life's with other points than killing things. They are supposed to be the perfect people in all ways, and the fact that they are also perfect soldiers is just a side effect. This is why in an imperium with quadrillions of citizens there was only a few thousands of people who could be made like this, because they are all out and not a penny saved.

I will start collecting gold boiz and I will call their leader Kitten and you can't stop me

[@skytheannur6168]

Imagine Kittens stats, he would solo the gods. Also side thought, skaven in 40k

[@steffanyschwartz7801]

I mean he did solo the emperor, Tzeench, and would have beat the void dragon (rip TTS)

[@AGloomySchizo]

Props to Pancreas for actually making a Raid: Shadow Legends comercial that was actually funny! First time since they started popping up that I actually watched one.

[@lawindacera7219]

In all honesty, the creative way people advertise Raid is in itself quite entertaining to watch

[@realboomslang]

This video encouraged me to buy a Custodes army. I’ve got them cleaned (waiting for paint and glue to arrive). Thank you for the video!

[@Stealth86651]

Hey, just wanted to say I really enjoy listening to your videos. Appreciate the effort/time/work put in, love listening, thanks.

[@WorshipperOfKhone]

To summarizes space Marines and custodes. Space marine = 100 men Custodes = 100 space Marines

[@aaahyesname8296]

Inaccurate but i get what you mean

[@zerotohero884]

Primarch = 2 and 1/2 Custodes

[@Karhall]

@@zerotohero884 they're more accurately 50 of them depending on how strong they are

[@zerotohero884]

@@Karhall But like, Angron killing just 1 and Alpharius [that i belive that wast Omegon at the time] also killing just 1 wast like, a major feat?, for what i undestood util now from the books, the Primarchs are more special because each of them have one unique power.

[@Karhall]

@@zerotohero884 its pretty clear in the lore that the weakest primarch is still miles stronger than the average custodes. (Angron pushed a titan off of him and survived for gods sakes) But yeah the custodes are harder to kill. Essentially the primarvh have their unique powers, speed, and strength. While the custodes seem far more durable. Tho this could be wrong in some areas.

[@TheLetterNate]

Adeptus Mechanicus next? Really been enjoying the Do or Don'ts!

[@VestedUTuber]

Honestly, there is _some_ potential for interaction between the Emperor's Finest and your average guardsman, but it's mainly the guardsman asking the Custodes questions about them. What it's like to _be_ a Custodes, what the difference is between them and the Astartes, what it was like to fight alongside the Emperor, what the Emperor himself is like, etc.

*KITTEN!*

[@cosmicwooloo]

Shadow keepers exist, you could paint your custodes with the patterns of different shield companies

[@Predator20357]

Aren’t these the guys that had some of their men killed by some Harlequins initially? Edit: Oh, I thought the Harlequins were just some fancy assassins and not the lore equivalent to these guys. Never mind

[@BrotherGS]

Most people are mad after that harlequin thingy, mainly because it was really badly written, the harlequins went through custodes like they were nothing, and nothing should be able to do that except greater daemons and primarch and stuff like that

[@oniemployee3437]

@@BrotherGS From what little I know about the 40k lore I don't think that even Primarchs and greater daemons are going to have an easy time in a 1v1 with a Custodes. Would either of those win when against one? Probably. The Custodes' chances are smaller than his opponents here, but I never thought it'd be an easy time for any challenger.

[@JeRefuseDeBienPrononcerBaleine]

@@BrotherGS If it was an avatar-like situation or the goal was to kill as much banana-man I feel like it would have been more accepted. But no, the reason was because they wanted to talk to the emperor. It's just the sheer stupidity of the whole clusterfuck.

[@retardcorpsman]

ONI employee #343 I dunno man, the gear and feats the Primarchs are capable of are pretty overpowered. A single swing from present day Girlyman and his daddy’s sword could probably cleave through 6-10 Custodes at once…and he’s just a mid-tier fighter in the Primarch ranking list both in TT and in lore.

[@joshuagraham2843]

the harlequins looks ridiculous enemies straight out of jojos

[@NobodyDungeons]

So, I tend to mix my Custodes with the guardsmen with the Custodes and Sisters of silence acting as shock troops and anti psycher BS with the guards providing big ranged support. I particularly like the bikes for the express reason that the added speed lets them get into melee much for readily. Additionally, the guardsmen make it so that even if I loose one of two custodes I can make up for those losses by sheer concentrated fire.

[@oldmanswaggy782]

Hey man I just recently discovered your content but honestly I wish I would've sooner, it's really underrated imo just keep it up don't ever stop your content is my highlight now

You are wrong.

Some of my favorite short stories are about Custodes during a Blood Game

The vast differences from lore to table top is big man.

[@williamhohmeister4841]

I feel like this dude came out of nowhere I just now started seeing his videos, but the humor and quality of content is really awesome. You earned a new sub!!

[@superjesse645]

Baffling to think that almost two years ago you were on your way to that special number of subs. Now you're almost to 200K as of writing this. Stay unhinged, Pancreas.

[@juliancalero8012]

To explain no soul and negitive souls: having no soul in the warp is like having no star where there should be one, a negative soul is a black hole where there should be a star

[@archsteel7]

You forgot the biggest lore negative, Grand Captain Kitten isn’t canon.

[@leviherrera7796]

Your great at what you do. I have been binge watching all your do or don't videos today. You have earned my sub. I am sure your growth will come in great tithes from the imperium of man!

[@TrinityShoji]

Rise of Nations soundtrack? Nice. Surprised anyone remembers that game.

[@pancreasnowork9939]

I’m never gonna forget it

[@kamaeq]

Besides the fact that the Custodes are still balanced for 1 Wound Marines, the biggest overall problem with the Imperium is the inability to run mixed armies. It is far, far, far more likely that a Custodes assault army would consist of a few Custodes and a bunch of Marines and/or Guard.

[@Wbfuhn]

I recently got more interested in 40k thanks to "If the Emperor had a text-to-speech device in the golden throne" fan parody.

[@nidnoms3622]

i remember my 2v2 match with my nids and blood angels against Custodes and Necrons, did give them a good thrashing

[@malickmeziani_FreePalestine]

Remember guys, if Space marines loose a battle, its a bad day. If Custodians loose a battle, it changes the history of the galaxy. That’s how just powerful they are and how the battle they involve themselves with are crucial.

For some reason when I hear about Custodes "special ops" and "being stealthy" I can't help but imagine it being the Steiner brand of stealth.
