    The Ork one made me smile a bit. To quote an Ork player in the comments section of another video, pitting an army of Orks against Custodes on tabletop is the most un-fun way to play 40k. The Custodes' universal 2+ saves, their high invulnerable saves (4+ or better) and other situational bonuses make them functionally immune to Orks at range (due to Ork armies' very low ranged hit percentages and weapons with low - or no - armor penetration), and ALL of the Custodes' units are absolute beasts in melee even before you count the melee bonuses they can get from their Martial Ka'tah ability or their Martial Mastery detachment ability. The poor guy said that the best he could manage to do is camp out on Objective markers and throw all his Boyz into the Golden meat-grinder in the hopes of slowing them down enough to win by victory points.

      There are a number of rubbish BL writers. Some who care nothing for lore like C.S. Goto. Others who have a hard time with writing good pacing. If memory serves Horus Rising suffered from that particular problem. ABD can write good characters the problem (aside from his personal politics if that's your thing) is that he doesn't write particularly good villains.
      Potential spoilers for folks how haven't read the Nightlords Trilogy/Omnibus. Stop reading here if you care.
      So the main cast are mostly Nightlords right. Murderers and the like. Cold blooded killers whose only route to ascension is typically either your predecessor dies in battle or you fight them in a duel for their position. The idea is planted in our minds that the MC Talos has friction points in his squad, some who want his position, some who think he is weak. And the times when he is wounded and vulnerable do any of his potentially traitorous fellows take advantage of it? No. Not once. The only point of treachery that comes out is near the end of the trilogy and it isn't even a betrayal of Talos.. The Nightlords are supposed to be pitiless murders with little to no bonds of loyalty. Yet they demonstrate being a close-knit almost military squad.
      Don't get me wrong I like most of the characters. But that blue balling of internal strife that is supposed to be the calling card of a Chaos Warband and Nightlords in hindsight is painful.

      That's the weird part. GW wanted to expand upon the lore but didn't want to spend the time and money to have the lore devs and the book writers in the same room it seems. Thus leading to instances where the Custodes are straight up retarded or the greatest thing in the universe. Or Eldar who are supposed to be so far above humanity with their hover tanks and the like yet are somehow in marvel at the smoke belching treaded tanks of humanity.
      Side note: Making the Custodes the greatest thing in the universe next to the Primarchs was never a smart lore decision because they become almost impossible to work with. I give you the rage that happened with the Norn Emissary and all the rage that came from that. Or the Harlequin attack. I'm sure I'm missing a couple of examples too. For that matter, the same problem exists for things like The Swarmlord and Avatar of Khaine. Lore-wise they are supposed to be imposing foes except they have been bested so many times they are the same level as Worf from Star Trek.

      There are Custodes that have business off of Terra. There's the SCP Foundation dudes, and the prophecy bodyguard ones. I forget their actual names 'cuz I'm stupid and too lazy to look 'em up.
      The first guys maintain containment on, and seek to capture for the purposes of containment, things dangerous to the galaxy at large, especially things originating from the Dark Age of Technology. Usually they fit in with the other "bum around on Terra" types, but occasionally are sent out to confirm or capture some doohicky.
      The other guys are the ones who act on psychic visions that any of the more respected psykers in the Imperium have. Say some psyker has a vision of an Admech Magos happening to be in the right place at the right time to intercept and disable a Necron doomsday device that is going to bowl through some key Imperial sectors. A few of these guys are going to go out and try to find this guy, and keep him alive and on track to do whatever it is he's supposed to do; sometimes from the shadows, sometimes overtly. They may also run counter prophecy duty, in a similar manner.
      These are the custodes most likely to be encountered outside the Sol system, along with the handful that are dispatched for supremely high priority milk runs and the like. If the Tau were going to run into any Custodian, it would be one of these.
      There's also the pretty much unwritten, but honestly kinda defacto duty of Sister of Silence escorts. If there's some real bad demonic stuff going on somewhere, the Sisters of Silence are the best answer to the issue, and the Custodian bodyguards are insurance they don't get caught up fighting Orks or being turned into armor paint when the Grey Knights show up to do a worse job or something. This isn't exactly well defined, since it's newer material that isn't Primarch wank or related to Cawl's new and easily trademarkable meat toasters, so, bucket of salt and whatnot. Chuck it in the bin along with the Votann as a faction, I guess?

      They sometimes have to head off to do very specific secret missions for the emperor.
      The Dark Eldar one is from a book where a bunch of inquisition go to a moon to meet up with some Custodes at a beacon, but when they arrive the Custodes are gone and the beacon is covered in blood and Drukhari tech. The inquisition then deems the Custodes "unrecoverable"

    I feel it is very important I say that I am really happy that, via Imperial Agents, at least Imperium factions can finally field requisitioned Deathwatch Marines, Grey Knights Terminators, or Sisters, and I get that some people don't appreciate that, or feel it unfair how Chaos and Xenos don't get as many, but it's a little bit too bad that the literal best bodyguards in the galaxy can't field that way, and protect other high-value targets, like Leontus, or Guilliman. I do think it would be fun, though, to see a really talented Custodes player go up against a good Ork player, or World Eaters, to see how well they cladh against other majorly- melee lists.

    Clarification:
    The story about Harlequins killing Custodes was from the book "The Beast Arises, Book 5 - Throneworld" by Guy Haley. The problem with this scene ist the simple fact that it was written before the first Custodes Codex dropped, so there hadn't really been any infos on how powerful the Custodes actually are. We just knew that they're more powerful than the Astartes, but not by how much or in what way.
    Guy Haley assumed that Custodes were basically on par with elite Terminators, so to speak. Combined with the fact that the Harlequins fielded a Shadowseer and a Death Jester equiped with a Shrieker Cannon, this story didn't feel as much "bullshitty" as it does today, now that we know of what Custodes are truly capable of.
    It's just that the plan of the Harlequins was endlessly dumb. Usually Guy Haley is one of the better Black Library writers, but Throneworld is definately not his best work and that Custodes Codex didn't help him at all in this regard.

    My head canon for the harlequins attack on the custodies is that it was like 3 solitaires or equivalent against a single custodian. Given the custodian’s were younger in this case they got their asses handed to them while the older more experienced custodies ripped through the harlequins like wet tissue paper. Basically, they massively outnumbered the younger custodians and dog piled them.

Of course, since they are the biggest guys, many writers want to use their deaths to show how powerful their own characters are.

      @sheeplord4976 1 they're not 10 times smarter or stronger. You just kind of made that up. 2 regular space marines aren't nearly the strongest in the universe so why would only primarchs beat them exactly? 3 the whole idea that a character can only be killed by a stronger character rather than stuff like being outnumbered, being trapped, being outgunned, making a mistake, etc. makes no sense. 4 no, worf happens to the avatar, the swarmlord, greater demons, demon primarchs, etc. Not to custodes. Trying to describe a whole faction as unkillable or unbeatable is exactly the delusion of custodes fans. A necron overlord should slice through a 100 custodes like butter if we took all the lore seriously but that's not how 40k works.

    I think you've missed one crucial point: out of all the chaos marines, it would seem that the Alpha Legion is the most familiar with Custodes - what with Alpharius having a personal rivalry with Constantin Valdor and supposedly being the source of the Blood Games. At the same time, I don't recall any major engagments between the two - my guess being either that because of this familiarity, they know their usual tricks wouldn't work and avoid them like the plague, or that in their agenda of purging the Imperium of its weak links, they have no reason to interact with the golden bois to begin with - implying that out of all of Imperium, Custodes are the only part that's perfect as it is.
    Also, all the above is a lie.

    Corrections:
    Leontus wasn't -guarded- by the Custodes. The Norm Emissary jumped toward Leontus and the Custodes, who were on their way to extract/protect Leontus managed to intercept it in the last second before it landed on Leontus.
    In addition to that, Leontus isn't a "high ranking general"; he's the Lord Commander of Segmentum Solar, which is the second highest position in the Imperial Guard and they only answer to the Lord Commander Militant (which regularly has a seat among the high lords on Terra and deals mostly with the bureaucraty and politics) and have pretty much full autonomy on what they do in their segmentum. Lord Commander Militant > Lord Commander > Lord General Militant > Lord General > General.
