[@Eagle-eye-pie]

@@aniketbiswas7660 spoiler Near the end of The Flight of the Eisenstein or it may have been in Garro, A Custodes is tasked to work with Garro to over see the reception of refugees vessels entering the sol system. The Custodes is haughty and suspicious of everyone including Garro and shows nothing but contempt. But when he meets a group of World Eater and White Scar Astartes, he remarks positively on the White Scars performance during the Blood Games. It’s the only time he gives anybody credit during the assignment. Edit: It is likely this feeling of admiration blinded the Custodes to the fact the White Scar leader was a traitor.

[@SirOrdo]

@@Eagle-eye-pie Yes but this was due to that one specific Custodian respecting WS, most others don't really like Astartes.

[@Eagle-eye-pie]

@@SirOrdo sure, he is without companions in this story and it is only his testimony, but given the overall, breathtaking arrogance of the guy, I found it a compelling concession on his part. Also my original comment was also to shed light on fact that loyalist Astartes were used in this way, which I think Majorkill overlooked. Edit: I’ve read in First Heretic, the way Custodes viewed the Word Bearers, they had a really low opinion of the entire legion, but ironically Aquillon respected Argel Tal. So yeah, those Custodes certainly can look down on Astartes, but occasionally find grudging respect?

Fun related fact: the concept of the blood games actually exists, in real life. The first 'real world equivalent' was the US Navy's Red Cell. The role of Red Cell? They were tasked with finding ways to break into the most secured US government facilities while expending the least amount of effort. Now, there's a thriving security industry, based around physical penetration testing (corporate way of saying 'breaking in to places'). Interesting little history lesson for yall.

Do keep in mind that Khorne dumped 8 of his most powerful bloodthirsters. Ka'bhanda, the most powerful bloodthirster, killed hundreds of Blood Angels with one hit. So if these 8 are anywhere comparable to that, well you do the math. Custodians can kill dozens of marines solo, but killing hundreds with a single strike? That's a tier beyond. A daemon that powerful can probably solo kill dozens of Custodes before going down. Plus, there's also the unending horde of lesser daemons to deal with.

I would say no? If we believe the King in Yellow is Valdor than my belief is that it is an elaborate plan put in place long ago by the Emperor. There is zero reason to believe Valdor is traitor so he is up to something. Also, Valdor and Russ are connected. If I had to guess, that moment that when Russ got the message from the Emperor and took off was connected to Valdor taking off to do his mission. But yeah, I do see where it could be that Valdor is spending 10k years to overthrow the Throne.

@@kccustodes2618 Custodes are incapable of betrayal towards the Emperor. Same as Grey Knights. They are OF Him. His blood. Also I agree that Valdor is looking for a way to beat chaos. It might not be a nice way. But since when did the Custodes care about ethics when it came to defending BIG E

just got the calendar downloaded, by the time I got to November I didn't know what my favorite month would be... then I saw December... and then I knew...

[@ElijahLiles-v6b]

I feel like the daemons love the custodies because there just waiting to join in the game so when they look for a daemon I feel as if the daemons would just start waving there hands and say “pick me pick me”

[@animemanXLK]

I was under the impression the blood games began some time after the culling of the thunder warriors since at the end of the novel Valdor Malcador explains to errr... Valdor that "They" are fond of games("They"meaning the chaos gods but very few outside of the Emperor and possibly Malcador seem to have even the vaguest idea what Chaos actually is at this point) and that the Custodes should learn to think as the enemy does.

[@kccustodes2618]

I get the feeling that two authors stumbled around on top of eachother trying to explain it. I agree, at the end of Valdor: Birth of the Imperium it sure seems that Valdor instructs Custodes Samonas with setting up the trials that the reader can infer will become the Blood Games. But in Alpharius: Head of the Hydra (which was released after Birth of the Imperium) it is clearly stated that Alpharius motivated the Blood Games. There is alot of conflicting lore in 40k, the Blood Games is just a tiny portion of what irritates me.

It’s like a strange mirror to the Drukhari letting invaders in (usually to off a rival kabal or eight)

[@lewishorsman2219]

Just do what that prisoner did (cannot recall name) where he just picked up a broom and started sweeping his way out quite literally until he was outside the prison. He even kept sweeping a couple hundred yards to make sure no one noticed. Hilarious really. Could imagine a Benny Hill sketch. “Morning.” “Morning.” “Gosh those inmates sure are messy, I’ll be sweeping up all day!” “Yep those bastards do like to make a mess every now and again. Best leave you to it.”

Never going to let the author of that Harlequin bit live it down, confusing Lucifer Blacks with Custodians.

[@mr_camperator]

Lets goooo, majorkill video ouuut

[@VeraTepes]

What is the Battle for Lions gate? What book is it in? I want to read it. And I want to read the Carrion Throne.

The blood games: when the lictor is the one who gets stalked

[@aguspuig6615]

im pretty sure those custodians the harlequins fought were only lucifer blacks wich is just an elite guard regiment that guards the very outside of the palace

[@adrienwatson2179]

Those werent Ogryn that Amon killed in blood games they were "Gene stock" not quite the same

[@dectricplace2500]

could you do a video on Gavril Loken ?

[@Eagle-eye-pie]

Poor old Garvie!

[@michaelhowell2326]

I always enjoyed that part in the "Blood Games" where he intentionally overdosed on what I think was heroin.

[@YourHighnessIV]

Is there any reason why the Emperor wouldn't reincarnate as he is a perpetual, so if he died on the golden throne wouldn't he reincarnate even if it took along time like yes the astronomicon and golden throne would just kaput but could this stil be an option

[@cnut7383]

I think he has kind of ascended to a warp God type of entity so maybe the rules work a bit differently now

[@MrFallenone]

Terra would explode. The Golden Throne is set to do that in case Big E dies a final FU to chaos.

[@hephaestiangamer9709]

What if the emperor didn't go on his great crusade to unite mankind. Would humanity survive or would they fall to xenos and chaos?

[@kccustodes2618]

I think humanity would have survived, but not as an empire. But I am fairly sure at least some enclaves of humanity would have made it to now. I think Majorkill did a video about just this topic.

[@MrFallenone]

Chaos would win. Big E had to strike fast and unite humanity after the warpstorms blocking travel were cleared before chaos cults gained supremacy.

[@CountingStars333]

Theyd probably survive, but not to a dominating extent.

[@UnholyWrath3277]

To all those who come after dont be retarted enough to fall for the scam above this comment

[@lordlopikong6940]

They would be inslaved. Just like how the imperium treats the other lessor XENOS races.

[@slumpmachinegaming]

Man's made a nude 40k cosplay calender right after I lost my job...damn you. I love you, but I cannot posses this treasure.
