[@godsingodsin8408]

You idiot. The 10,000 was the lowest number of enemy soldiers there was the main force in reality and common sense when what went into each male/female warrior. We are talking about days of fighting against the near full strength of immortal demons and war engines…there are millions dying as the hours go on non stop swinging your blade or do they have unlimited ammo?.there is always a vanguard especially a berserk charging army . There was a planet wide scale of weapons and soldiers that went into the most important battle in human history that the emperor himself and the…10’000 custodes…10 custodes that could kill a primarch…do the math….he had to bring near all of them and back up….we are talking a trillion lives that were altered through training, faith or genetic make up and war machines that went to battle in the webway…a place that we needed to claim at some point in time..through the webway project or through the force or arms . Proof the writers don’t know anything about war or the battlefield or the things that are going to happen when fighting non stop like zombies. Or warhammer is a political movement trying to shape human society…who knows…..maybe both and then some….praise the emperor and all he does

The custodes went against supercharged chaos daemons in basically the warp where they can outnumber the tyrannids and endlessly respawn, thousands of traitor marines, titans, greater daemons AND one of the most powerful daemons ever seen able to kill the emperor himself. They were winning at the beginning. Custodes are fucking bonkers

[@maltheri9833]

An army of 10k including the telemon dreadnought and the sisters of silence nerfing the demons it makes sense coming out the gate they could slow the tide. Never winning a war of attrition with Hell inside of Hell. That's just not happening 😢

As always with the Emperor, it'd be cool to know more, and chances are he was thinking something along the lines of "I'll sort that out later when I have more time"

[@climax050]

Put a pin in that. I feel like GW has left a lot of really solid ideas like this one open just in case they really need to shakeup the galaxy or just in case they ever decide to go end times mode on the setting because stuff like that would make an amazing plot point. Much the same way the Necrons just so happen to believe they can make themselves mortal again, so they would align with the factions that don't want everything to be ruined, those sort of things just leave the door open just in case the end times ever need come for 40k.

The War in the Webway is some of my favorite Warhammer lore ever. I love how it was this massive war that determined the fate of humanity even more than the Heresy, and yet nobody outside a trusted few in the whole Imperium even knew about it.

Yeah, I always assumed it was just one part of the Siege of Terra, never thought of it as a years-long campaign, though I guess since Magnus made the breach to warn the Emperor of Horus' betrayal it would have to be long before the Siege.

Custodes really aren't invincible. They can decimate any mortal army. But that's the thing, mortal armies, Daemons are not mortal and Custodes just can't handle them on their turf. But it was a badass moment, if a catastrophic defeat for our glorious golden Pillar Men.

[@m.j.e.5245]

Its also a really weird place, in the webway the dimensions dont make sense and space folds and retracts, its the like fighting in a liminal space against ghosts

[@mistrants2745]

Kinda underselling the Custodes here. They can handle Daemons perfectly fine. Even on their own turf. Its about sheer numbers. Every custodes who died probably had a kill/death ration that would make a nuclear bomb jealous. But there is simply basically infinite daemons.

[@maguyonseanlewis7696]

Custodes can handle warp spawn just fine like any other warrior. Even I would not doubt the idea of a custodes falling to a tsunami of daemons and daemonic slaves.

[@robertnelson9599]

The Custodes had the Sisters of Silence helping them as well.

[@colonelsanders1349]

One of my favorite warhammer moments. Rivaled only by rylanor, and sanguinious at the eternity gate. Gotta love those heroic last stands against impossible odds. I've noticed in warhammer they actually tend to have a happier ending than in real life. The istvaan atrocity ended with rylanor calling fulgrim a bitch before blowing him up, and sanguinious at the eternity gate knew he was gonna die. But took pretty much every enemy with him.

Idk if it's a defeat it was like abit over 10000 vs the entire warp and they killed ALOT of deamons.

[@fuchsmichael93]

That´s the Problem with Deamons, Custodes aren´t Psychers so they can only banish them, not permakill.

[@apossiblyhereticalalphaleg3595]

But the thing is, you don't "kill" daemons, you banish them. Every daemon killed by a custodian will simply reconstitute itself eventually and breach into Realspace again when a Word Bearer molests his 666th child or something.

[@Sugarierspoon99]

@@apossiblyhereticalalphaleg3595 that is true I mabey should have worked that better but 1. Emperor. 2. They still took those deamons out of the fight for a thousand years and crippled countless other chaos forces such as astartes and titans. Also this isn't a point but why weren't any of the spacewolves, blood angles (I know one was but that don't count), white scars, and imperial fists join the fight that would have been a massive bonus aswell.

[@eg_manifest510]

a Custodes coming to your battlefield would actually be quite good, assuming you have some way of killing them when they get there. That way you can trick the Imperium into thinking they've won, and since you killed a Custodes you could mop the floor with the rest of the armada and the fact it was written as a victory means they're unlikely to send reinforcements. But of course, the only problem is killing the Custodes in the first place. Just hope you're the Tau and you've loaded up on Railguns

[@midrovar5811]

the problems is, custodes never come alone, theres always a buddy or a greater good forbid, a squad
