Is that what their helmets actually look like? I didn’t know that.
when is your next stream?
Look, I know that you don't want to step on woke people's toes, But do not use anything to do with female custodes. We do not recodnise that dumb/agenda fuled/uncaring change. Female custodes is not cannon. And the lore does in fact matter. Because without it, none of this exists.
We must Summon Bricky, Lysander, and Koda to get Ava the Info she seeks

The best parody of the Darth Vader scene
Sire we are surrounded!
Custodian: Good its easyer to aim.

Custodes: We like those odds
“Kitty” my beloved. May he rest in peace
the king of games awaits in the shadow realm

Kitten is alive and well I will not have the slander that he is dead it's not fucking canon!! T.T
THIS IS NOT F--ING CANON!

To explain geneseed. Geneseed is a series of artificial organs produced by this thing called a progenoid gland, every space marine has two, one in the back of the neck, one in the chest. These organs are extracted by an apothecary and are used to create the organs that are surgically implanted into the aspirants to turn them into astartes. This includes two progenoid glands, which allows the cycle to start again. Hope this helped!
Oh dang this is actually something I've been wondering about for a while, thank you very much. Also the fact that they have 2 makes it even more like the holy gobooals of the star defenders. What a crazy coincidence
@@Fritz-co4pbstored in the balls
To expand on this to make a space marine you only need one gene seed which is put in the chest and the second one forms later in the marines life and this second one can be removed safely allowing groups of marines to lay low and increase their stocks of it if need be
@@eyllyssaunders5345 thank you for expanding further on my explanation!
Kinda a weird name for them. Like I feel like geneseed implies something else
What do you mean Trazyn doesn't have blood? He has so much blood. It is indeed blood that he owns, so therefore, it is his blood!
It’s true!
He does not own this... all Blood is to be given to Khorne. Everybody else is just allowed to keep it fresh until then.
If you are to do Dreadnaughts you have to mention Bjorn the Fel-Handed.
He is an *ancient* Space Marine who everyone venerate. However he is also kind of the old grandpa who fought in WW2 and is just tired of everyone kissing his feets.
There is a scene where Bjorn is talking to an Inquisitor. The moment the Inquisitor learn if his identity, Inquisitor falls to his knee.
Bjorn goes
"Oh for fu... Stop that!"
It wasn't so much the Inquisitor learning Bjorn's name so much as learning he had met (and fought alongside) the Emperor when Big E was still up and about.
They also have to mention Ancient Rylanor
Cassor the Mad, black rage + dreadnaught+tyranids= best dreadnaught.
"Ho, traitor, strive and strain all you wish, you will never conquer Cassor. While Cassor stands before the gates of Holy Terra, none shall pass. Shriek, daemon. Scream out your prayers to the gods of wrong angles and shattered skies. Summon them. They shall not defeat Cassor. It cannot be done"
Says that to a carnifex.
*Dreadnoughts
THIS
IIRC it is told that he fought alongside Big E, and that is why everyone pays him so much respect. And that he is an absolute Bad Ass.
"Greetings, I am Custodian Kratos Link Aragorn Victor von Doom Naruto Monkey D. Luffy Inuyasha Shadow the Hedgehog Kakarot Shinji Cloud. By the will of the Emperor, you will be protected."
Imagine if they got assigned to a Krieg guardsman.
@@Solkard that could have happened, but highly unlikely due to them most likely still trying to die for the Emperor, not matter what happens, or he ends up leaving the Death Korp due to his importance.
Bro what the fuck you gotta do be called victor Von doom I'm fucking dying🤣
I think I've seen to many badger videos smfh.
@@Maysy787 Probably build magically enhanced power armor, fistfight the devil, and call a stretchy scientist a loser, but I might be thinking too literally. Lol
"we're watcing game of thrones and are really excited"
I, im so sorry.
Same
Oh. Uh, yeah. Just got to them bringing it up and … That’s unfortunate…
Read the books! They are great
Thunder warriors was emperors attempt to make a fast and cheap version of the banana boys. They were like a bakery using a microwave to make a cake. Space marines are control ingredients baked in a large oven, some fail and some may be subpar but it’s a success. Banana boys are like this flour doesn’t go with this egg, let me get a chicken and feed it a specific diet for the egg I need.
This metaphor is really good!
commented so i can use this in an unhinged 40k rant
@@goldenfiberwheat238 kinda, you can change a lot by changing diets, you can tell the different quality of eggs by taste and color or that one island where pigs only eat acorns
@@goldenfiberwheat238 it changes the taste of their meat. If the diet also effect meat quality and taste. I guess milk can be effective but it’s much more inefficient because of the time window
@@goldenfiberwheat238 If a bear eats blueberries only, its fat with have a blueish hue. ;)
"Get in the Dreadnought, Custodian Shinji!"
“The death of Stalin has some inaccuracies” are you trying to tell me the events surrounding Stalins death wasn’t a hilarious romp?
The overall vibe is true, some small things are changed.
@@stanisawzokiewski3308 The timescale was condense as well, the movie made it seem it all happened in a couple of days rather then the multiple months it did in real life.
Beria’s real life execution was also a lot more brutal, he was first thrown in an unfair trial as he did with many other people before quickly being found guilty and sentenced to death, he was stripped down to his underwear and cried and begged for his life the whole time until his executioner literally stuff a sock in his mouth to shut him up before gunning the evil bastard down.
@@brandonlyon730 thats true. It was squeezed into a movie.
Some events wouldve happend a while apart but it was condemsed
Me whenever I see armored Custodies: “Woah, Hold on! Why aren’t all of them naked?”
Fun fact, Custodies is actually Latin for Guardian. For once GW didn’t make something up and call it a day.
A lot of GW's names are inspired by something or are just straight up latin ^^
@@krankarvolund7771 Yeah just look at Warhammer Fantasy, especially with Bretonnia they didnt even try, the lady of the lake and the Green Knight are directly from King Arthur.
It’s also the Latin basis for the word “custody” which can be simplified to “keep” like a “groundskeeper” as someone who maintains a location.
Custodes is a great name for the Emperor’s guard, and fits particularly well as they “take care of” his ideals in addition to taking care of his palace.
Half of Warhammer40K is Latin, the other half is German. Which, as a German who had 7 years of Latin in school, always feels hilarious to me seeing space marines in power armour designed to look like knight armour from the medieval _Heiliges Rämisches Reich Deutscher Nation_ (Holy Roman Empire of German Nation) and saying "Imperium" instead of "Empire".
Exactly. Hence when it should be "Adeptus Custodes" CUs-STO-DES, not an americanized pronunciation
14:25 All in favor of putting Kari and Lutin in the same discord call and recording her asking all her questions while he gets more and more insane at the ridiculousness of her questions despite knowing all the answers. Say aye🤚
There we go, someone said it
Could we force Bricky to join that call ?
the comically large helmets easily make this the one of the best episodes imo
I love how this ended in Malcador x Emperor Yaoi.
Such is the will of the Emperor.
Such is the power of nagash
Ended like WHAT!?
HOLY. LIVING.SAINTS. BOOBS
As most things should.
....I'm like 5 minutes in and that's the comment I see on my phone and....
Huh.
I like to believe they are also custodians in the sense that they clean and sweep the golden throne room, possibly using a mop attachment to their long spear weapons.
Who else could be trusted to keep the golden throne free of dust?
“If a space marine received magnus’ gene seed” so, uh… about that
what about that?

Is this about the Blood Ravens?
@@PanzerLord No, of course not, why would you think the Blood Ravens have anything to do with Magnus, what do you know, who told you, who sent you, what relics are you carrying on you?
@baval5 It was a footnote in this book. It's called The Secrets of the Dark Angles chapter; a Full History of the Crimes of the Fallen.
I also love that Custodes aren't just personal GUARDS. They're also counsel, confidantes, as close to friends as someone like the Emperor could have
He made his imaginary friends real.
You missing that they were meant to be the future leaders of mankind.
I’m not the best source for 40K lore, but from what I understand about the Custodes, they all are philosophers or critical thinkers that just casually ponder the art of war, the art of science, the art of art itself, and really just about anything you can seriously ponder. I also believe that some of them practice poetry or literature.
So I like to believe that Ava’s proposed story about an “I’ll miss you, stay safe” from an Aquilan Shield Custodes could 100% happen.
Vouch for this actually, they are meant to be individuals even in their personalities and outlooks
I mean if you’re watching over a rotting corpse all day I imagine you would give yourself hobbies to do other then the random blood games.
There is a reason that the ones who guard the Emperor are called the Companions. They are actually meant to be companions to the Emperor. They are meant to be his mental equals who he can have conversations and discussions with that aren’t the equivalent of him explaining obvious things to a toddler.
No, no, you name the Dreadnaught Alphonse Elric:
He blew up while trying to bring the emperor back to life, so they had to quickly stick what little was left of him into a kinda discoloured Dreadnaught to save his life.
Then you have a custodes named Edward, because they're all brothers etc.
And then they make friends with this one Space Wolves recruit, who later drinks from the Cup Of Wulfen...........
Who’s the Space Wolf in this comparison?
@@PanzerLord
Nina Tucker:
If you try to become a Spacewolf, you have to go through a bunch of tests, the last of which is to drink from the Cup of Wulfen and then be cast into the wilderness.
Now, if you're successful in the test, you become a Space Wolf. But if you fail ("are unworthy"), you become a Wulfen, which is the weird human-wolf hybrid you often see running around with the Space Wolves.
So, you know, Ed... Ward...
@@Row. Oh, okay
Gene seed is Space Marine stem cells. That’s all there is to it.
Thoughts and prayers for Space Marine Jim to get better by next episode.👏
An oversimplification but it gives you an idea.
O7 space marine Jim
For all of you who miss the greatness that was kitten may I suggest Hunter the parenting
I tried, sadly I am not into WoD.
My favorite army is the Custodes, and I'm mildly annoyed that they got nerfed but everyone else including my friend who plays Genestealer cults are relieved and he yelled at me jokingly because Custodes pre-10th edition were all Terminator strong and near invincible aside from heavy anti armor weapons lol
It’s really annoying people are focusing on a very minor lore change when the codex itself nerfed the crap out of them AFTER I HYPED THEM UP SO MUCH - Ava
I know right? Also I think we're on the same wave length with the Dragon riding custodes with My Green and purple Custodes called the "Nocturne Dragons", they are stationed on Nocturne after they became isolated from the rest of the Aquiline shield. And I kinda made them inspired by the same concept as the Exodite Eldar lol Swapping jet bikes for alien flying reptiles
@@NUMBSKULLStrue true true, I feel like the reason why people talk about it more is because its not objectively bad, its something you can debate on, and is thus talked abt more. Like personally I dislike how they did it as it kinda messes with the mental image of the talons to me, but its not important, just headcanon it into being a cool thing.
Hope both of you have a good day.
@@NUMBSKULLS Don't worry. Rules change. The vibes remain _immaculate._ You don't collect an army for one edition, you collect them for the long haul.
It’s true!!
Okay, the idea of the gene seed being a suppository made me burst out laughing in the office... XD
Brother, your gene seed is ready to be harvested... *drill begins spinning up* Bend over, brother. 😂😂😂
It’s all fun and games until that one Space Marines gets a little *too* into it and makes it awkward for everyone else
It would'nt be Warhammer 40k content if in an episode about something else than space marines had a chunk of it be about space marines.
How do u think us xenos players feel everything is about the imperium and how they fight us
Fun Fact: there is in fact a Dreadnought who's primary duty in the modern imperium is to tell stories to his chapter. Bjorn the Fell-Handed of the Space Wolves.
He kinda hates it because he'll have dreams of being with his brothers from Heresy times at a grand feast (pretty much Valhalla) and then everyone gets up and goes to another room to continue the party, but he cannot follow. The reason is he's not quite dead yet, and the Space Wolves just woke him up for story-time again. He's also less a brother and more a grumpy old grandpa of the Space Wolves.
From the relatively limited exposure I’ve had to Space Wolf specific lore, that sounds very much like them.
The dreadnought telling war stories is literally Bjorn from the space wolves. They just pull him out of stasis to tell the pups some stories since he's old enough that he actually fought with the Emperor.
Trazyn has blood!
It might not be necron blood, but it is in his possession, so it should count
"they're generally nice"
that is... pattently untrue. there is a direct example of this: a child asked a space marine what they thought they wanted to be when they grew up before they became a marine, to which they said something like, i always wanted to be a blacksmith. when that same child asked a custodes this question it played out like this:
Child: "What was your dream job growing up?"
Custodes: "that is irrelevant. I have no time for such innane prattle"
Child: "I was just curious?"
Custodes: *"We are done talking now."*
(comparatively) kind, maybe, but not nice.
Yeah that makes sense, Marines were made to be the defenders of the Imperium but Custodes were made to be the defenders of the Emperor specifically. If youre not big E youre just a footnote.
Idk like I think them being nice is more like they are not dicks also u know they care for the arts and articulating their thoughts unlike the brutes (strategic brilliance is different and of course generally speaking) that are the space Marines
@@khaledibrahim614 calling space marines brutes in general is quite slanderous. the only ones seen as brutes outside of chaos are the flesh tearers, minotaurs and knights of blood, and maybe a few more im missing. there is the opposite side of the spectrums, I wouldn't call salamanders, blood ravens (baring some individuals), Ultramarines and lamenters brutes.
He said generally and that is actually true most custodians are nice but they are very much individuals meaning some are assholes
@@venlil makes me thing of that one custodian named Khorarinn, who treated like shit some loyalist world eaters during the horus heresy, but with respect a traitorous group of White scars, who ended up killing all of the refugees onboard the ship they were on before being killed by the custodes, with Khorarinn dying in the process. Karma is a bi*ch, eh?
Kari makes the most...baffling sounds...when excited about something XD
Also when your next stream?
This has nothing to do with the episode but the fact you both refer to one another as "my love" and "love" is genuinely the sweetest thing.
52:09 If/when the dreadnought video comes out, you *have* to talk about Björn and Rylanor
The ancient of rites deserves better than all of us
@@Fritz-co4pb I recall the virtues i stood for!
I recall the strugles and the things that we have done!
I will not be deterred from my vengeance!
I remember the lessons passed onto the sons!
I am one of the Emperor's Children!
I am Rylanor and I am the Ancient of Rites!
So I reject you now and for always!
To strike you down I have waited for a million nights!
I raise you Huron-Fal and, as a sleeper pick, Radamaar
@@TheOnlyRealIRONicMAN Who’s Radamaar (I could only find info on Huron)?
@@PanzerLord GLAD THAT YOU ASK:
Radamaar is an Iron Hands dreadnought who, after being heavily damaged during deployment against some Xenos was found by a Wolf Priest. Judging that the damaged dreadnought was beyond saving, the Space Wolf went ahead to reclaim the pilots Gene-Seed from the sarcophagus and proceeded to pry the thing open (with a plasma gun shot, no less), defying the dreadnaught.
Turns out, Radamaar is entirely machine, not a bone or flec of tissue to be found, only wires and cogs.
Of course, the Space Wolf wanted that to dispose of this abomination, and was promptly eaten alive by the lunging dreadnought.
So with Custodes lore they do not have geneseed like a space marine, as of 9th ed Codex. They are taken at latest late infancy to begin the process of becoming a Custodian. It is referenced as Alchemical processes that are so advanced they seem like magic, were the Infant is remade at the genetic level to become a 9ft tall Demigod. As a custodian is a human body but min maxed to perfection, while a marine is an amalgamation of powerful organs jammed into a modified human like vessel.
those helmets remind me of when i was sitting in a giant wooden horse about to be wheeled into troy and i was sat across from the homie giving me that fucking stare
took everything i could to not crack up
52:34 "Stop brother, there is not enough of me to save a second time." I cried so hard.
If your looking for magical girls in 40k saint celestine is there too a girl who has a magical weapon, has giant wings, lives to inspire those around her, uses the power of belief and faith as a weapon. Has doves and light shine around her when she needs to fight someone! Love yalls stuff ❤
The bananas are here 🍌
I enjoy this show immensely, but my favorite parts have to be Kari, recording her own little episodes in the background, while Ava talks about stuff😂
29:33 to explain it isn't whether they win or lose but that it's marked as a victory before they arrive because they're that confident in a custodes, if they do lose it'd probably be changed but something would have to be bad for one to actually lose
Also custodians are made through direct genetic alterations, they aren't given extra organs and such like a normal space marine, there DNA is changed directly to make them as perfect as possible
"I'm investigating and now I'm horrified." Should be the tag line of 40k lore
Every time ava says "my love" my heart swoons, these two are so adorable.
Hey, slight amendment to the point on the Thunder Warriors: After the last battle of the Thunder Warriors, the Custodes backstabbed and annihilated them at Mount Ararat (on the orders of big E, because their geneseed was so unstable - he argued it was a mercy as they were suffering but it was a classic big e dick move). A small number, including their Primarch (not the same of the space marine primarchs, this is purely used as a title for a leader. Thanks GW) survived and with a high lord who wanted to investigate the slaughter and hold the Custodes accountable for breaking the law and killing the Thunder Warriors. This rag tag bunch of ragamuffins attacked the proto-imperial palace. This was where the first space marines were made and the first battle of the Space Marines, ever. They along with a handful of custards attacked and destroyed the force including all thunder warriors, but the high lord was allowed to step down and leave as she was just doing her job. Would recommend Valdor: Birth of the Imperium if you're interested in the end of the Thunder Warriors and how they were murdered :)
I like to imagine image of Aquilan shield custodian wearing a crochet scarf, while standing guard infront of grandma house.
This episode was a gold experience.
But not a requiem, at least
These two should guest star on an episode of Adeptus Ridiculous, Bricky would do all the explaining for the more deep lore, and it would be funny all the while.
27:19 I always thought the max number of 10,000 Custodes is an homage to the Persian Immortals, who also kept exactly 10,000 soldiers and were directly under the king as elite troops. They were named “Immortals” because their numbers never grew, never shrank, and were the elite shock troops, so the sight of them on the battlefield was meant as a major morale boost for Persian troops and a big morale blow for their enemies. Just like the Custodes hmm…
Oh you got the code?
Knock Knock, it’s the Custodies! You are now dead
there are two organs that produce extremely slowly the gene seed. You need to extract them. From your fallen battle-brothers. I feel you guys are making this thing way too complicated.
AFAIK they're located one at the base of the neck, and one in the chest. The neck one matures in 5 years, probably by the time the initiate becomes a full battle brother, and the other one matures in 10 years, but only extracted on death.
The custodian with the most names is constantin valdor. He was the captain general during the great crusade and horus heresy and after malcador the closest thing to a friend or even a son to the emperor. He has over a thousand names. All writen inside his armour.
For astonishing victories. During the great crusade a force of a couple hundred teleported into a big war with the orks that halted three legions of astartes. In minutes they killed thousands of the green skins and losing three of their own.
And for their fighting style its pretty good described in the first heretic. „We Astartes fight like a wolf pack. We work together to overcome the enemy. We are a brotherhood. They fight like lions. Every one fights his own battle. They’re not a unit. They are individual heros“
I loved this episode, from the segway into what is a geneseed? to everything else i was laughing every minute. Thankd again guys! 😊
Glad you enjoyed it!
“But they’re packing”
obviously, you expect the Emps guard not to be the pinnacle of humanity
Perfect timing! Great to watch while I'm building my Custodes boxes. Just finished the Allarus Custodes and working on the Wardens!
One of my favorite running jokes throughout this video has to be the idea of naming Custodes after anime characters. I love it so much.
I'm always grateful to fans like you who are actually willing to sit down and explain stuff like this. Things like 40k always come across as impenetrable with all the lore it has, so thanks for laying all this stuff out for me 😊
Glad to help!
That Stormborne idea sounds awesome
You might be able to run dragon-riding Custodes as the jetbike guys.
According to Valdor: Birth of the Imperium, both stories about the end of the Thunder Warriors are valid.
Imagine making a Q&A episode with Bricky and all the questions are about 40K.
I wonder how long that would go ^^
Yeah too bad you don't see those anymore
(Three days later..)
XD
I swear you two are so in love with each other it is so amazing to see. It is way too cute.
me getting drunk and watching this a whole server on discord we love you guys keep it up!!!
You have to thank Bruva Alfabusa for paving the way for Custodes.
This video's timing is prophetically impeccable,

First episode of this series I've watched. Was not expecting the Discworld reference. Subbed immediately. Discworld is the best.
*A golden giant enters the command deck of an imperial ship* i'm an emissary of the emperors will. You might call me RASPBERRIE

34:30
Yup. Called it.
"nothing happened at Mt. Ararat Square"

Love these videos. you guys have great chemistry and are a fun listen. Any thoughts on Warhammer Fantasy?
It’s something we wanna tackle! We’ve got a script going over the broad strokes of the setting, and we’ll continue to do faction/character focused episodes like 40k!
They are too cute in their little custodes helmets in this ep.
To hopefully clarify (might be wrong)
A gene seed is a product made from the Emperor and his Primarchs. This seed is not sperm, but a genetic overlapping code produced by a new organ. This gene seed turns a person into the level of a space marine, taking on features of the person the seed is from so Gilly boy, his men will become more diplomatic, their facial features ill slightly look like him, and their hair will be tinted to blond like their primarch. It is very rare for a dark haired Ultra Marines to exist.
Every space marine has 2 gene seeds in their body. 1 is extracted as soon as their training is complete, the second gene seed is extracted upon death. The Lementars chapter almost wiped out, but like 3 survived. So to regain their numbers they had train 3 people, then 3 more, and then 3 more, and this number will tick up as there are people who die during the process. This took like centuries I think.
I do believe there WAS some stuff saying they couldn't be women, but while I don't agree with the change, I'm not angry about it. As long as it's written well I don't have a problem with it. To me the main point of the Custodes was that they were the physical peak of humanity and strength. Since men have more muscle mass (in general terms) than women, it makes sense for them all to be men. BUT it's not like the female Custodes look like the Sisters of Silence, they still would look like the brick outhouses that the male Custodes look like.
Also another note, the grey knights space marine chapter is confirmed to actually have the gene seed of the emperor
I always learn so much from these and Kari is hilarious
I never knew about the retconned armor shedding, and now I understand so much more about the emperor's text to speech stodes. amazing
Thank you, Kari. As a fan of the Tyranids, I will now refer to the Custodes as "Banana Split Custard" from here on out. 😂
maybe now i want to add a cape to a custodes dread, but maybe when they are usable again.

Honestly, the easiest way to understand what a geneseed is; is to just think of it as a blueprint/template of a primarch, of a chapter.
Their applied to a Space Marine candidate, if they survive; they become a Space Marine, of that chapter. If they don't, they die.
To quote a very very loyal Kitten in regards to your silver custodian armor "how ghastly".
If I remember correctly, in one of the Watchers of the Throne books, Valerian (a Custodian himself) states that not a single Custodes has ever fallen to Chaos and the Chaos Gods have even stopped trying to corrupt them, as they have learned it is a futile task.
46:13 You should look into the Solar Watch. They’ve got a very similar color scheme, just minus the blue… and the dragons
Shield Captain Alphonse was intombed in a Dreadnought after the Siege of Terra
YAY NEW EPISODE!!!
58:31 that works both ways. We can ignore when GW goes "always has been" and we can come up with a better explanation for it. Or throw it out the window.
I personally think that the only thing that prevented Custodes from being made from female humans was the Emperor, the Emperor was very biased.
Space Marines are a different thing, but in the case of Custodes they could be made from a female base. Not sure why but they could. It wouldn't be the first time the Mechanicus tried to change stuff up.
"There have always been female custodes."

@@migarsormrapophis2755 Alpharius at it again
The genessed is stored in Progenoid glandes, special glandes that Space Marines have. You need one glande to make a space marine, but as he ages, he'll develop a second, so you have two glandes when he die, so double the geneseeds.
I cant wait to see you do grey knights, sisters of battle, sisters of silence and all other parts cause its very interesting
The question at the end of whether Rincewind is the best wizard reminds me of a quote from one of the later books that's like "Rincewind viewed his role in wizardry to be simular to that of the 0 in mathmatics. Not a big number, but all of the other numbers would look pretty old without him..." (note that I'm paraphrasing, I don't know the exact wording).
As for the actually best Discworld wizard, that varies a bit. During Colour of Magic/Light Fantastic it's probably arch chancellor Weatherwax for as long as he stays alive (in the book, unlike the movie, he's not actually murdered by Trymon but rather falls victim to the Luggage after accidentially hitting it with his magical arrow, causing it to teleport to his location) and then Trymon.
Then there's a few books where it gets a little messy, though it's usually somewhat safe to assume that it's the arch chancellor. Except for Sourcery, where it's 100% Coin, who is a sourcerer and therefore on a completely different level than any other living wizard.
Later than that, it's probably just Ridcully. There's not really any indication whether he's much stronger than any other wizard in the setting (though there is little doubt that among all living wizards, he's the most inclined to shoot things with a crossbow), but there is little doubt that he is the best. There's technically an argument to be made that in a way, Hex could be viewed as being better at magic and Ponder is 100% more knowledgeable about it, but Hex is technically more of a machine than a character and Ponder, whilst certainly being a smart lad, lacks a few key qualifications for being a "good wizard" by discworld standards.
7:07 want y'all to know the Columbo jumpscare got me
I think it’s time for Bricky to invade and drop lore for all the questions
For what it's worth, the Shadow Keepers are also guarding the most dangerous of dangerous of terrifying living and (possibly) unliving and demons that ever existed (also possibly one of the redacted Primarchs) and make sure they do not get out. If they do they send out these guys to go bring that most scary of scary dudes and dudets back and put them back in the box.
I liked this video, I have read every source of them so nothing new but it was fun watch while painting.
Though I have to do a slight correction that the Haetaron/Companions are not the standard custodes. They are 300 custodes that are physically at the side of the emperor. The box set are the "Emperor's Chosen"(in-game term) its just the ones who aren't inside a Shield Host(the subfactions you mentioned).
Ngl I’m brand new too warhammer 40k , I’ve only just learned about the middle area of most factions and learned the basic facts about a certain amount of sub factions within the factions , and ngl because of you amazing people the custodies have become my favorite faction , so cool and so badass
Does anyone know the name of that short story with the eye of the emperor is?
"what do you nean INTO it?!"
Enters the flesh tearers
The LOYALIST chapter
Not looking at Flesh Eaters or the Blood Drinkers, one guess on whose original Legion they came from.
dreadnoughts telling stories is pretty much was Bjorn of the space wolves does :P
Opening the video up with a Psyco Goreman quote was great.
Here's my Custodes General. His name is Johnny Sins.
Name taken from a legendary man who was a firefighter, doctor, teacher, police officer AND astronaut, among other fine titles.
I find it distracting that your Avatars are both looking directly at the camera
ESCAFLOWNE! Now I want Allen Schezar as a Custodes.
If you love mech's with swords and capes so much, you'll love Lancer as a setting & game. The Mourning Cloak in particular
This was my first watch of this content, and I was doing FFXIV marketboard stuff while doing it and I was pleasently suprised to hear that the good Lady in the video also plays. ^^
