    Funny thing to note in lore. As Custodes are picked at a young age, everything about them, including personality gets tweaked to suit desired effect. So, if custodian behaves and acts like a pompous know it all, it is because someone specifically wanted to make him that way.

    A really cool aspect about the Blood Games is that it’s origins are explained in the Alpharius book.

    One thing to note about Custodes is that they have a stronger sense of identity and individuality unlike Space Marines that have most of their personality burned away by way of strict mental conditioning. When a Custodes gets a small bit of free time for themselves they actually have hobbies which is adorable for an 8ft tall demigod.

    One of my favorites things about the Custodes is the fact they're basically just perfect humans, whereas Space Marines are made to be perfect soldiers. The Astartes look weird, blocky and kind of goofy and act in a very inhuman manner, but the Custodes are just a human scaled up and perfected. I imagine if the Emperor succeeded in his plans, given enough time, he would of made every human to the level of the Custodes.
    Also, I know Custodes are made to be unshackably loyal to the Emperor and the Imperium but I've always liked the idea of a Custodian somehow ending up as the king of a planet of primitive xenos far from the Imperiums borders. Don't know how such a thing could happen, but I imagine the hand wavey answer of "warp fuckery" could suffice. I've always liked the trope of a species being lead by a person of a different species, especially when that person is a human. The Goblin King from the Labyrinth, the Overlord (titular), Saruman from Lord of the Rings and other examples. I think, given 40K's scale, they could allow such a story to exist. It would make for a nice contrast, a story of a powerful human acting as a protector over a race of aliens instead of wanting to purge them like most of the Imperium.

    I'm one of the people who loved Master of Mankind. Custodes in battle are utterly terrifying. Highly recommend the Watchers of the Throne series (wish it were a trilogy) if you haven't already read it. Follows a Custodes, a Sister of Silence, and a deputy to the High Lords of Terra at the moment when the cicatrix maledictum rips open, demons invade Terra, and Guilliman shows up on the moon. The Vaults of Terra series isn't as good, but the first book features Custodes and does a good job with their depiction. When the main character, an inquisitor, meets them, he's shocked because they're so rarely seen they're considered a myth. I hadn't considered that even an inquisitor wouldn't necessarily be privy to the fact that they exist. The book also takes you *deep* within the palace.

    Custodes are quite possibly one of my favorite factions in the setting. I love that they exist as a proof-of-concept for the Emperor's vision for humanity, a teaser trailer or rough sketch for how mankind can become like unto gods.
    They are not intended to solely be weapons, though they excel at that as well. I love that they are philosophers, diplomats, historians, etc, because they are the Emperor's bodyguards and companions.
    Also, great note on power scaling. While I love alot of ADB's writing, he shouldn't be let anywhere near within 100 yards of anything loyalist. From what I have gathered, his daddy issues prevent him from doing them any justice, continuity be damned. Similarly...Abnett. Just...Abnett.
    The dude is the M Night Shyamalan of Warhammer, will just throw things in the for the twist.
    Final bit to tie into that: The Horus Heresy Novels have definitely helped the power creep along and the power yoyoing. One minute, Angron is surviving a Titan stepping on him and the next Guilliman is almost unalived by a squad of goober marines.
    Magnus probably has it the worst internally. One minute he singlehanded destroys Eldar Titans and creates a forcefield capable of holding off the sustained barrage of an entire Iron Warriors Grand Company while having a tense dialogue with Pertuabo. The next, Doggo Russ and Vulkan are one on oneing him.
    I love me some Vulkan, but how that went down was...a thing.
    TLDR: Yeah, some things are more consistent than others but drift happens over time. Hell, just look at the Custodes. They went from "almost marines" and "fight like lions" to each one being head and shoulders above all but the greatest of Astartes Champions and even giving Primarchs trouble while being SUPREMELY coordinated as units. The second part made way more sense, because as bodyguards you would have to work like that.

    The Adeptus Custodes have the honor of being featured prominently in "If The Emperor Had A Text-To-Speech Device", a non-canon fan work made by a team of people now referred to as "Ogre Poppenang" and released by Alfabusa on his channel, "Bruva Alfabusa". The main characters, apart from Big E himself, overwhelmingly consist of Custodians and returned Primarchs. Since scenes from TTS were often based on actual battles on the Warhammer 40K (9th Edition predominantly, IIRC) tabletop, Custodians were much squishier in TTS than in lore (because a lore-accurate army of Custodes would instantly destroy any illusion of game balance, tabletop Custodes are strong but nerfed SEVERELY to ensure that they aren't just instant win tickets. They can't just have a single squad of Custodes balanced to the points cost and power of an entire army either, because otherwise, nobody would do anything but buy like four Custodian models to complete an army, and they still need their model sales to make profit).
    Thus, keep in mind that Custodians are generally much more powerful, competent, and mature than TTS makes them out to be... TTS was plenty hilarious and took many liberties to deliver a better end result, and we love them for that, even if it did lead to some lore deviations. Most of those deviations were hilarious (e.g. Kaldor Draigo being portrayed as a godlike madman due to Warp exposure, the Engine of Woes being a particularly meme-worthy model of modern day car, Corvus Corax doing nothing for 10,000 years but compose Gothic poetry while stuck in said car, and taking the whole "Custodians took off their golden armor in their grief and shame" to a whole other level, even though they've been retconned to only swap the color of their fabric accessories), and some helped drive the plot or allow for more control of the story! I can't say too much, for fear of spoiling things.
    TTS is set pre-13th Black Crusade and features the Emperor regaining the ability to command his Imperium and learn of it's present situation (that disgusts and disappoints him in many ways). The art style of TTS is deceptively simple, and likely started simple... but over time, became a massive undertaking to retain the style and identity of the series while increasing the quality. Voice acting is amazing and largely done in-house by the group of friends who created the series. The series may not be suitable for young audiences, but is definitely worth checking out if you are mature!
    After GW's infamous crackdown on fan animations and artists, Alfabusa and friends stopped making Warhammer content, rebranded to the aforementioned Ogre Poppenang, and now produce similar format content in the World of Darkness and Half-Life settings ("Hunter: The Parenting" and "Half-Life: Zero Viscosity" respectively). Text-To-Speech is on infinite hiatus, waiting until GW deals with the fact that curb-stomping fan works in order to leave Warhammer+ as the only player in the Warhammer content niche was a horrible idea and repeals the ban on fan animations.

    Custodes have been my main army for years, I painted them based on some fanart of Artorias from Dark Souls as a Custodian. I really recommend them for beginners, they're relatively affordable, easy to make look good, and they have strong base stats without much in the way of rules bloat, kinda the complete opposite of the Mechanicus in that way

    Funny that old Uriel is mentioned, while I was reading swords of calth(book 7), I noticed a few changes about him - for one, he had a bionic eye in book 6, yet here he both his bio eyes, and he started in gravis rather than tacticus armor, ofc, he gets it in the end(so model matches). And his 2nd Pasanius, while remains firstborn, got his own tacticus armor (scaled up to his massive frame).

    I am fully aware that me bringing this up is beating a dead horde but im still a bit confused and puzzled how a bunch of Eldar clowns managed to take them down one time. That didnt make much sense.

    I have a custodes fan made character who is basically what happens when a custodes decides he's to small. So, he stands roughly 50% taller, and is way bulkier than the other custodes to the point where they were able to fit weapons systems into his armor like shoulder mounted missile launchers, wrist mounted plasma weapons, and much more. During training they put blocks of ceramite on his back to add even more weight. They call his the titan of tera and spends most of his time running around the galaxy putting out as many fires as he can by dropping on them from orbit, and he doesn't use a drop pod he straight up just hops out just outside of the atmosphere and drops the entire way to the surface with nothing but his weapons and power armor.
