If they do it with space marines, that'd be different but with the custodes there's nowhere near the same level of entrenchment in the setting.

Unless fighting Black Templars or Blood Ravens. When they showed up with the first Primaris to the Black Templars, our favourite Crusaders seen that as an act of heresy and massacred both Primaris and the Custodes. Likewise when they came to the Blood Ravens with the primaris blueprints and additional geneseed the Blood Raven capitan was tired of the Custodian being those "I am always better than you can ever be" attitude and warned them that they got 30 marines on the ship, and additional 5 battleships, while Custodes had only one.

@@nicolausg7058According to recent texts by Bowden and Abnett, the Custodians are as superior to the Astartes as the latter are to the common soldier. Furthermore, the Dynasties Gold Squad in the Webway recaptured 10 quarters of an Eldar city, advancing ten-man. Against them were various Daemons, Martian Heretics and Traitor Astartes.
@@Kalendich That's true, but it is not taking into concideration the unstoppable rage of the succesors of Sigismund, and the space combat - in the ships it doesn't matter are you a Space Marine, a Custodes or the mortal. The Blood Ravens knew that, and the Custodes failed to realise this untill the capitan have reminded them about it. If I recall correctly it is also not impossible for mortals to outsmart the Space Marine - for instance one guard soldier managed during the training lay trap on 3 White Scars, if I recall correctly.

@@nicolausg7058 The Blood Ravens didn't fight the Custodian. They both exchanged words, the Ravens captain basically trying to flex his might to the Custodian and said Custodian calling his bluff. That's it. After that the Ravens accept the Primaris reinforcements. So no, the Custodes did NOT "run with their tails between their legs". Regarding the Templars, while I don't know their exact numbers, it was a Crusade, so we are talking at least several hundred. The Primaris Marines were escorted by ONE Custodes. After the Templars become extra stupid and fight the Primaris, said Custodes pretty much single handedly demolishes their Crusade to the point that, after it's done, they are left with a single crippled ship and 14 Astartes. So no. They did not "massacre" the Custodes. If anything, the opposite is true.
One of my favorite elements about the custodes is that they never were meant to be a fighting force, but rather councillors, artificers, philosophers, lawyers, administrators and the like. _"We were never soldiers. […] we were His companions, once. We were the ones in whom He confided. We were His counsellors, we were His artisans. We were the first glimpse of what the species could become, if shepherded aright and unshackled from its vicious weaknesses."_ Combat was way, *way* down the list of considerations and was more like an afterthought. And yet look how they turned out.
The number 10,000 was based on Iranian immortals who were the personal bodyguards of Achaemenid kings and we're the most heavily armored soldiers who were replaced when one of them died so that their number always stayed 10,000 hence the immortal army
@@sinfinity383 iranian immortals were always 10,000 strong and every time one of them died or was wounded or retired they were replaced so their number always stayed at 10,000 like custodes they were personal bodyguards of the emperors just like custodes they were the most heavily armored and trained units like custodes so you can see the resemblance, there are other characters inspired by ancient iranian lore such as the names ahriman and darius just like how the khan is based on genghis khan or how guilliman is based on caesar

Funny thing is, there's an unspoken worry among the Custodes that by the end of the Heresy, they weren't the Emperor's ultimate creations anymore, as their role thereof ended with the failure of his original plans and dreams for the Imperium. Instead, they worry that his favor has actually passed onto the Grey Knights, made worse by the Emperor explicitly describing the Grey Knights as his last gift to Humanity. Basically, the Imperium the Custodes were meant to safeguard died on the sands of Istvaan. The Imperium that arose from the ashes of the Horus Heresy would instead be protected by the silvered warriors of Titan.
But they were never meant to defend the Imperium, there were never enough of them to do that. They were created to protect the Emperor and directly transmit his will. As they had done on Prospero, in the case of Lorgar's takeover, the war in the Webway. Until Guilliman spoke with their tribune, the Custodians had not ventured beyond the Sol System. Now they take part in military operations, just as they did in the Great Crusade with the Emperor.
That's what I mean by 'safeguard'. By transmitting his will, they were to ensure the Imperium would always be true to his dream...a dream that died at Istvaan. And that's why the Custodes secretly fear, that part of their purpose died with the dream, and that the Grey Knights now embody the Emperor's final will with regard to the Imperium. Ironically, the Knights don't seem to care either way, since they've got more important things to do.
@@Kalendichthey were created to pursue and assist in his ambitions. Had all gone to plan, the custodians would've been the ones breaking the legions as they eventually became redundant - as they once did with the thunder warriors. The imperium of the emperor's vision did not feature the likes of the space wolves or world eaters.
@@RikkiTikkiTavi290 Malcador formed them on the Emperor's orders, and the Emperor also personally visited Titan to inspect and brief their founders shortly before the Siege. The Custodes' own records confirm this, and part of why they worry so much. The Emperor even outright declared the Grey Knights as "...my final gift to the species I failed." To quote Shield-Captain Valerian, "We know well enough that they were designed as His last great weapon, fitted to an age that He foresaw near the end of His earthly embodiment. What if it were they, not us, who most faithfully embodied His final legacy? You will never hear one of us say as much out loud, but that does not mean the suspicion does not exist. It skulks around the corridors of Hegemon like a foul odour, faint but hard to eradicate."
As superior to a Space Marine as a Space Marine is superior to a regular human(Astra Militarum). One can do the same as dozens of Space Marines. Truly remarkable.
The Chronicles of the Imperium of America: The Cackling Flame It is the year 2024, and the throne of power trembles. Upon the crumbling dais of the once-proud Imperium of America, a new threat looms-not born of iron and steel, but of something far more insidious. Her name echoes through the corridors of history, whispered in dread and derision alike: Kamala of the Harris. She stands at the precipice of triumph, her ascent heralded not by the banners of justice, but by the discordant, unnerving cackle that has driven men to madness and rulers to ruin. In the void of uncertainty, her enemies falter and her supporters, like blind zealots, march toward her banner, oblivious to the destruction she would unleash upon the sacred lands. Her laughter, the sound of a million shattered promises, rings across the plains of the Republic, sending tremors through the great bastions of freedom and truth. "Beware the Cackling Flame," the scribes of ancient wisdom have written, but their warnings are lost on the deaf masses, enthralled by her spell. For Kamala of the Harris is not merely a mortal of flesh and bone; she is the embodiment of chaos, the Herald of Pandemonium. Her rise to power will ignite the fires of instability, a conflagration so vast it will sweep across the continent, leaving naught but ash and ruin in its wake. "Imperator of Cackles!" the weak-hearted will cry in misguided adulation as her dominion tightens. But the true warriors, the loyal sons and daughters of the Imperium, know what her reign portends. It is not governance she seeks-it is domination by discord. The pillars of unity, justice, and reason will be consumed in the hellfire of her mockery. "We stand at the edge of the abyss," the bravest among the defenders of the Republic proclaim, their voices filled with righteous fury. For if Kamala of the Harris seizes the Throne, the sacred laws of the land shall burn, and the torch of liberty will flicker, gasping for breath beneath the weight of tyranny masked in forced laughter. In this final hour, we who serve the Imperium must hold the line, for the fires of Kamala's reign will not be contained. Her laughter will ring out as the world is set aflame, and the cries of those who once cheered her on will be drowned in the inferno of their own folly. Yet still, we stand defiant. For we are the last bulwark of reason, the chosen few who see the truth. We know that the Cackling Flame must be extinguished before it engulfs the Imperium in an eternal night of chaos and calamity. For the Emperor! For the Imperium! We shall not yield!

Yeah sure, war sounds good in books and movies but when you see the horros, feel the smell of blodd, seeing your best buddy"s head split by a bullet and you covered in brain matter how many women would stay and fight? We not talking about corporate jobs with zoom meetings where your only concern what to wer waist up and how to use pronouns. We talking about taking lives, giving even ours if must. So yeah war is the craft of the sons of man.
They just want to sound woke. Those who screech here like the demons of Tzinch arent fans. Mst of them dont even know about female only gang on Necromunda. About amazing female traiders, inqusitors, techpriests. All they want is a shiny poster girl from a very wellknown faction. That's all.

Ruined the entire franchise for me, because it is just the beginning. As soon as 40K became more mainstream the vultures descended on it like they do everything else these days. Sickening.
Woke
You look like a Starfruit!

@@Arg8sha. What’s the issue with female custodes? It helps highlight how much better they are then space marines, since their process is perfected enough it can be done on both men and women
End times have come to 40k
Very glad to know that the Custodes now have special "honorary members" back at the home base to help keep it clean and make them sandwiches! These men deserve it, considering how hard they work.
Wow your sexist
@@micah5918 nobody cares
Imagine the Emperor custom crafting perfect genetically enhanced warriors for the most important job in the Imperium where even a fraction of weakness could mean the fall of your entire race - and then getting chewed out by HR for not meeting DEI quotas.
thank the throne all HR depts will soon be replaced by Ai, and not run by bitter old divorced cat ladies.
Pfffft. Low model count, lack of coverage and mobility, perfect for cheesing. I can't speak for 10th edition, but in 9th, Perils of the Warp Tzaangor Shaman kamikaze with Cult of Time saved 1 rolls are perfect. Ah. Good times. TS were broken AF. I only used the psyker self destruction bombs on the cocky ones that don't know what's coming. Their pride is their downfall.
They left that one Custodes back in the Imperial Kitchen on Sandwich duty as always, I see.
And they shall know no hunger 🥪🥪🥪🥪

Follow the Adeptus Custodes into their gender transitions
@@magladroth3665 gender transitions?
10,000? Originally they were only 300.
I’m tired of short form 40k video content. I want something I can watch for more than 4 minutes
Text to speech. Not sure if you have already seen it or not but it’s amazing.
I mean warhammer+has some good animations, you could also look up some sodaz warhammer animations they are pretty good
Pariah Nexus? the tithes- i think new shit
커스토디안 의 총기는 마치 초기의 화승총 같은 핸드캐논을 생각나게 만든다..
워해머 디렉터 들이 총기의 발달이 느림으로 인해 중국과 한국에 총통이라는 핸드캐논을 봐줬으면 좋겠다..
이 무기는 일본이 포르투갈로부터 화승총을 사서 무장하기 이전에 아시아에서 꽤 오랫동안 활약한 총기이다.

The IMPERIUM of Ma'am.
And are all male
Cope
Who would win average pre heresy legion of SM (not big as SoH, U, IF, WB) or Custodians? I think SM legion would win. Custodians are too overrated.
@@moony7144 50/50 I think
Thanks GW, for retcon f*cking up the custards for me forever ! 🙄🤦🏽♂️😵💫
It is not enough that there are gender-blends in almost every Imperial faction, as well as female-only forces such as the sisters of silence and sororitas. No, any force comprised solely of males is sacrilegious to the Agenda, and shall be crushed and retcon'd without question. So sayeth the dogma of Didn't Earn It.
grow up man, its actually a pretty good change that helps distinguish them from space marines.
@@BaronVonWenis They are already distinguished as the Emperor's Guard, they didn't need Gender ending to do it.
@@gimmeyourrights8292 dont tell me that you didnt see them for the first time and think that they were space marines, having both genders gives them more difference to Astarte's which is objectively a good thing.
You seem like an emotionally balanced and happy indiividual, crying over little plastic soldiers. lol
@@BaronVonWenis It objectively isn't. This isn't Mass Effect. There are more specific reasons why the experimentations to becoming a Space Marine are made for men exclusively, because only men have the bodies to withstand such physical torture.
Iirc, their only weakness is that they do not fight effectively as a team. Each of them are lions, while the marines are wolf packs
It’s a shame they were finally defeated by the slaneesh cult of DEI.
Cringe
Yes bil you are extremely cringe
@@billcipher9344 the rainbow flag regime creeping its way into entertainment media is more cringe
yes yes but how diverse are they? are they meeting all the required diversity quotas? these are the things people really care about
Let's just say they've spoken to more women than you have.
@@peterclarke7240 An easily achievable feat, not worthy of mention. They/Them's question above still stands; will we have People of Color? Perhaps representation across the gender spectrum? This is the only thing that matters in storytelling.
@@peterclarke7240 tell me you have no actual argument without telling me lmao
@@BigBazz-Clips Well, we've already met our diversity quota of straight white men for the next three decades, so there's that...
Anyway, tell me: why do you find the idea of non-white, non-male, non-straight characters so threatening? Is your ego really that fragile?
@@peterclarke7240 i don't like retcons
Felt like a Bionicle commercial
Santodes! Convince them.
Toe-to-toe best warriors in the Imperium, if not the galaxy. I'd pick 5 of these over 50 Astartes any day
The Banana Guard
😅😮😮😢😂mgsiowb porque 😅😅
IMO, they have the dumbest looking helmets in all of warhammer but I loved their history. That is until a week ago, now they’re just dumb and make zero sense.
what happened a week ago? (I mean, a week ago from your comment)
@@AurigaStar release of the “tithes” episode with a female custodies. Beyond cringe imo and blatantly pandering to customers who will never buy the product.
Custodes helmets are rad. Everything else I agree with. Cheers.
@@tarn1135 Damn! I find hard to believe that, of all companies, GW would succumb to wokeism, considering they are so tight when it comes to Warhammer lore, reason why we never had any adaptation beyond gaming realm. Must have been a truckload of money. The last nail on the emperor's coffin, the ultimate heresy
And their is absolutely no girls allowed in this faction as they are the sons of the emperor
*sons

*planets

@abyssal-labs it's sons of the nobles not the emporer 🤦♂️
SAY NO TO FOIDSTODES
Wammen
GW just confirmed that ALL Custodes are women. They always have been. Even Valdor is female. Looks like GW are sticking to their guns with this one. I think they're planning on retconning Valdor to be the Big E's lover
But for some bloody reason, the Minotaurs can kill them and gets away with it
that the fem custodes
Custodes: The finest warriors the Human race has EVER produced.
Aren't they generically modified tho?
Jojo music but heavy metal
What sort of threat requires 6 custodes!?!?!
Warhammer fans when they encounter a woman:
Where are the whamen custodes though? They've been around forever!
Sounds like Kazarion's VA
No flexing
No posing
No Jojo pillar man music

Such Heresy
Truly it's grim dark
Now that I know that they are all queer, they seem a lot less intimidating.
Says the guy about to get cut down by a Custodian for being a heretic
@@killerbee1974 custodians do not scare me. They are just the Emperor's harem girls.
Astartes are the angels of death, the custodes are the angels of being fabulous. Their golden armor went from glorious to gauche with a single retcon.

Which is why I'm painting mine all silver & rewriting them as something else entirely. The overseers of The Emperor's final contingency plan.

Funny, they look like Eldar to me.
0:04 he really needs to remove those mold lines smh
Im reading the comments and I saw that some are intimadated by the lore. Let me ask why are the core values intimidating? THe valor, the sacrifice the camaraderie? We only can appreciate when the hero of the tales are the exact copy of us? And yes I talking about the questions too that why aren't any or many more women? Those who ask would fight? Yeah sure, war sounds good in books and movies but when you see the horros, feel the smell of blodd, seeing your best buddy"s head split by a bullet and you covered in brain matter how many women would stay and fight? We not talking about corporate jobs with zoom meetings where your only concern what to wer waist up and how to use pronouns. We talking about taking lives, giving even ours if must. So yeah war is the craft of the sons of man.
Basically💯💯
They just want to sound woke. Those who screech here like the demons of Tzinch arent fans. Mst of them dont even know about female only gang on Necromunda. About amazing female traiders, inqusitors, techpriests. All they want is a shiny poster girl from a very wellknown faction. That's all.
Banana boys~~~~
I'll stick to my Necrons
Banana Men (and not a single woman)
AIYAIYAIYAI!
The pretorian of the memes
That one lamenter appears
is the emperor some kind of god and these his angels?
The Emperor is not a God, and the Custodians are His Sons and Bodyguards
The Emperor is definitely a god. He just doesn’t like being one lmao
He is essentially close too a god as a human could be, your talking about someone seemingly fully immortal since he has recovered from what was considered fatal blows several times.
Has ability too see through time and space, has powers on par with the Chaos gods. He doesn't like the title god but even his enemies think he may be one at this point.
@@Arg8sha. Why do you all you tourists keep calling them his sons. The Primarchs are his sons. Stop pretending to be into Warhammer just to impress your boyfriend. lol
@@AnimeAnarchist-rp2ob The primarchs are simply tools in his hands. He treats the Custodes and Malcador with any warmth, and perhaps some of his other loyal followers.
Gracias.
這是遊戲??
No. It's just Cinematic video

marine malevolent: bet
Ayayayayayayayaya!
my question is always , if they're so op then why arent they used more often? and why dont they carry the imperium in wars?
Now They all female
And in a few years we have only female Space marine
Malcador is happy!
No no no silly
trans-marines is the future !!!
