Welcome Sleep Club members for this lengthy overview of the Emperor's Custodes - and also for those who have immediately dived on in to the comments before even beginning the video Please LIKE for Lord ALGO the Destroyer
Hopefully the comment section doesn't start looking like the sewage pipes from the underhive but in the grim pettiness of the 3rd Millenium, there is only polarisation.
Luetin, dude, I know your arguments come from a place of good faith in the last video, and that this video was almost complete when the discourse happened. But you need to sort out these comments A table of 9 nazis and a normal person who tolerates them, is a table of 10 nazis I have major issues with the update, due to how badly and suddenly it was wirtten in. But now you have literal fascists in your comment section, getting large amouns of likes about "muh women", "muh pronouns" etc. It's cringe, disgusting, and has never been welcome in the fandom
The idea of 9 foot tall demigods going out among the grimdark drudgery of the galaxy to do anything "covertly" as the eyes of the emperor never fails to make me chuckle.
@@excell211 lol coming from the people who absolutely lose it when you refuse to call a man a woman. so butthurt about it you pass laws making it illegal.
Dorn: "Ah, it is my pleasure to meet you, [Three hours later], do you have a shorter version of your name? Custodes: "My King of Ages used to call me Al." Dorn: "Father fucking dammit."
I've only followed 40k lore for about 2yrs now and I don't think Valdor will betray the emperor. I always think of the very beginning of Valdor: Birth of the Imperium. The conversation the emperor has with Valdor when he first wakes up has always been on my mind. The convo is vague. He tells Valdor to ask any question because in the days to come information and data is all he'll be able to give him. "There's no such think as a free lunch" "you pay a price for all things and this is mine" "I will become less than human... and more" "with one bargain you become stronger, you make another you become weaker." "It applies to mortals, it applies to gods, not that I intend to become one." And then the emperor ask if Valdor understands the reason for the grand bargain and if he finds it unworthy while asking him to speak freely. Valdor says "infinite power can't be overcome because we're finite, limited by law... so deception" "you will cheat them, you will cheat all of them and us" "a risky strategy, but there are no others" and he doesn't find the emperors plan unworthy. I honestly think it's the most important piece of lore with regards to the future 40k could be heading, although GW could always change things. I guess what I'm getting at is that Valdor knew all of the plans of the emperor, just as Malcador knew. The deception could lead to the emperor gaining power on the scale of the chaos gods, but he's not going to try and become one. But just cause he's not going to try doesn't mean its not a likely possibility. Valdor was in on the true deception and it's overall scale so I don't think betrayal is possible. One of my fav books. I'd honestly like to know what everyone else thinks. I've not had a chance to bring this up with anyone and I've not seen the convo in the book referenced anywhere on the internet.
I love the characterisation of the Emperor as a masterful deceiver: he cheats the old four to make the primarchs, he lies to humanity about the the reality of the warp, he lets the mechanicum believe he is the Omnissiah, but he also ultimately beats Horus through sheer deception. That quote from Birth of the Imperium is his justification - in the face of a hostile, all-consuming infinity, he will navigate the future of his species with guile and cunning (e.g. by allowing for the existence of the Imperial cult despite rejecting godhood on the Vengeful Spirit); as Malcador comments after ascending to the Golden Throne, seemingly to Horus who can't really hear him, his King of Ages "will become anything you need him to be" to win. It's a great choice that allows GW writers to do a lot while remaining consistent and not revealing the truth about the Emperor. It also makes the figure seem really transcendent, because it puts him in a league with Cegorath and the Deceiver, some of the most influential characters in 40k as a whole.
You should add the 10,000 Custodes to your 40K number problem video. There's no way that 10,000 individuals can adequately patrol a continent sized complex in addition to working as jailors, the Emperor's personal body guard, fighting off daemons in the web way, and sending war parties out into the galaxy. There has to be at least 10x that number and the Custodes only ever say there are 10,000 of them so that the High Lords of Terra don't perceive them as threats.
In terms of scripture m, 10,000 is a symbolic number which doesn't mean 10,000 in number but something more like "a number large enough to count if you had enough time"
They are not a problem. There are only 10000 Custodes because that's how hard and time consuming is to create and arm each one of those men, but they are not the only one ones protecting the Imperial Palace, just it's most powerfull protectors + Big E's personal bodyguards. The Lucifer Blacks, a group of elite soldiers made of normal humans, is one of the other groups also protecting the palace.
This has always made sense to me. The Custodes answer to no one except Big-E, they consider themselves the true inheritors of His authority, and they view the entire IoM as a failed experiment. Why *wouldn't* they tell the fake rulers of the fake Imperium they only have ten thousand members? _They_ are the actual people who matter, the only ones who dad really cared about, so who cares what the savages outside the walls think?
I thought the Lueten sleep club was a running joke but upon further investigation it's a real thing. And 2bh I kond of get it... his voice has a certain quality to it. Can really relax you.

@@ericconrad8854 yeah, why should people get attached to lore? It's fantasy, so burn it all down so those who will never play or care can shape it to match their desires.
These races, factions and subfactions vids are my favorites. WH40k has interested me ever since I was a teenager, but the amount of lore was too overwhelming for me to ever consider diving deep into it. The pleasure I've got out of listening to your vids is astounding. Thanks so much.
@@canisrex5142 Have you had your head in the sand when it comes to Warhammer lore over the past 30 years then? Cause that's the only other explanation for your take that is devoid of any knowledge on how Warhammer lore works
I like to imagine the only way a Custodes could do “spy” work being a 80 ft tall brick shit-house is if they painted themselves green and started talking like they have brain damage to infiltrate Orks.
A more serious answer... in book 10 of the HH, there's a short story called Bloodgames that follows a Custode around a he attempts to blend in and hide amongst everyday folk. He uses a device that masks his bulky stature, so everyone perceives his as nothing but a normal human. Only one character was able to sense the disguise, a Lucifer black.
@@claudeyaz it's bio-alchemy and the emperors genius, women does not have the physique to become space marines, let alone Custodians.... I will exit the community now.
@@QenaitheCustodianGuard so when your thinking about the soliders with 2 hearts, 8ft tall, multiple lungs, are unageing basically, fighting off hoardes of aliens and terminators. Then comes in the chaos from a portal with the demons. What brings you out of this gameplay is if the custodies have tits and slightly longer hair. Like MEN can’t become marines, they have to be altered, why can’t women do the same surgery
Ya know, I came to the comments to flagellate myself with the ravings of others, but this comment was really what I needed today. Thank you 07 Reminds me of when the mad cog-boy in The All Guardsman Party said his servitors weren't mostly dead or some such trash
I just figured the expense of changing you back after you do ur 5-10 years would be excessively wasteful but, this is in fact The Imperium Of Man we're talking about here
Leutin: And when the Custodes adopted this weapon, it symbolized the end of tyranny on Terra. Also Leutin: the custodes used these weapons to ensure everyone bent to the Emperor's wishes Great job as always! Keep it up!
I always thought this with a Custodian Dreadnought. How impossibly divine can your duty be to be returned from death to continue battle, not administration or Intel like the weakened custodes. But truly battle.
Extremely dangerous, especially now that they (presumably) have receptacles for superhuman menstruation byproducts. Which could probably kill a mere mortal simply by being within 10m of them. But hey, any weapon is a good weapon in the -grimdark- progressive and virtuous 41st millenium, right?
Standard Custodes are deadly. I'm assuming their terminators are also deadly because it's the maximum amount of deadly anything can be. Oh wait, I forgot super deadly. That's the amount of deadly is the end result of getting super killed.
@@TheGamegurusChannel Why would I be upset by new content being added in a galaxy wide setting? Why would I be upset about the return of the "Squats" who have been much missed since the 90s? And how come all you tourists all use the same lame arguments, like you all got a circular?
@@incurableromantic4006 sad we can't keep it civil, I've also probably been collecting longer than you. The squats were said to have been devoured "to the man" by the Tyranids. Clearly a retcon, or at least no more so than some of the Custodes being women, not to mention the Iron Kin, STCs, Tau trading, ect, were all completely new inventions for their lore. Idk bro, I just feel like it's a very disingenuous reading of their statement to pretend that they meant we've always intended for there to have been women, versus, for as far as the lore is going to be written from now on, we aren't treating this as new and it's always going to have been the case. This happens, constantly. It's even mentioned in this video, did you watch it?
@@incurableromantic4006 Sad we couldn't be civil, and I have probably collected longer than you have. The squats were stated to have been eaten "to the man" by the tyranids. Them being back, with STCs to boot, with true AI is a "retcon" or at least no worse of a retcon than "some of the custodes are women now". I think its a pretty disingenuous reading of GW's statement to claim it meant "we always intended there to be female custodes" and not "from now on, the lore will be written with female custodes, and this will not be treated as a new event". Obviously they didn't exist before now, but hey, way back when, neither did the primarchs, either. 40k is built upon fuzzy lore being recontextualized and rewritten over and over ontop of even fuzzier lore. Luetin even says this in the video, did you even watch it?
@@mufasafalldown8401 im sure calling people names and attack their way of thinking is going to help our cause in a big way...🙄😮💨 driving a wedge between the hobbyists is exactly playing right into THEIR hand, but because of all the screaming for boycots and namecalling many don,t seem to grapple that notion. if we would all just be a bit more calm, stoic and steadfast about this whole subject, THEY wouldn,t stand a chance against our hobby.🙂
@@RedSampler Wrong. If you do nothing it will get worse. Look at Marvel. Star Wars. Amazon's LotR show. There are a ton of real world examples I don't need to explain it.

@@mufasafalldown8401 and calling people names is going to help our cause right? that is the problem with people just saying stuff and when confronted about it they don,t need to explain themselves.. it will do nothing but cause adversity and driving wedges in the community it will help no one but maybe yourself thinking you really did something there.. but by all means you keep doing you. i don,t want to belong in any of the yay , or nay or fence sitting group.. ill just keep doing what ive been doing for the past 7 years(when this really started). wish you the best.🙂
And he never mentioned chick Custodes at all...because its not important outside of specific moments or achievements the Custodes do, male or female, their gender or sex doooon't matter one bit. They're Custodes. They can handle it.
@@Leinad44 i dont think they got over it gw is losing money as we speak their CFO sold 2/3rds of her share and is leaving the company people are canceling their warhammer+ subscriptions in droves its far from over this might start the collapse of the franchise and it sucks
I know it's probably obvious to other people, but the fact that the 13th Black Crusade brought back the Primarch of the 13th Legion only just twigged. That's some nice story connecting there, even in the undercurrents.
I'm a lapsed WH40k fan who wasn't entirely sure they remembered what the Custodes were when this recent business came about. Thanks for putting something like this together for reference.
Realistically, a space marine is something out of a nightmare. Custodes are on a level that is hard to comprehend. Side note: Orks probably have mad respect for the Custodes. Dem' Goold Humiez can really fight!
Wait to learn about the passive aggressive tactics of the female custodes, able to ban tiranids and chaos from the palace's kitchen and unnoticed for millennia until now. Funk G Wokeshop!
I very much enjoyed that! Urge to paint custodes: rising! In all honesty though I feel they should have left them off the tabletop. Maybe a custodian guard squad as allies tops. The mystery surrounding them should be preserved.
Your fault. 40K is just a game and the "lore" isn't a religious text, but only a marketing tool to sell rulebooks, little plastic figures and a whole lot of other stuff.
I always thought it was funny that the emperor had a personal relationship with every single custodes but didn’t give a crap about half his “sons” the primarchs. He gave some like Curze and Angron command of a space marine legion without even properly vetting them and knowing without doubt that they were totally insane.
I wish GW would expand the Dankanatoi better. They feel strange being a "chamber" rather than a "Shield Host". Their name translates roughly into the "bite", and it feels strange that GW is not trying to link things from HH to 40K for an organization that has vastly remained the same for 10,000 years.
You know that he's not against the idea of men and women in Custodes, right? The way GW announced or hinted at it was stupid, but so far he's fine with the idea overall from a prior video. So stop poking at a fire that you have zero fuel for.
@@84jesterx Odd how NO ONE said a word about 'Women in Custodes', let alone Male Only, until you showed up... "So stop poking at a fire that you have zero fuel for."
@@84jesterx No one is against that idea. The problem with the idea is not new characters themselves, its the faction in which they chose to place those new characters. They could have easily put new uber units in the Sos or Sob, but they chose an off limits faction (its off limits due to entrenched lore that prevents this sort of addition) for the purpose of confronting their fans ideologically and NOT to expand the faction for enjoyment purposes.
@@angrysocialjusticewarrior When you say "entrenched lore do you mean lore that's existed in any depth for 1/6th or so of the verse?" Or do you mean "always on the verge of change as soon as it's time to sell new miniatures because that's how Warhammer causality works?"
Are there any books/short stories from the perspective or at least following an Eye of the Emperor? They seem really interesting acting like ultra-rogue traders or something and it would be cool to see what they get up to. *Thinking about it I guess that’s kind of what Valdor has been doing.

I was going to say don't you dare compare custodes to the absolute joke of a teenage fanfic that is scp, then realized the irony of that comment after what has happened recently.
"to hell with the new lore"? So you believe in the old lore? Where custodies were naked because of the shame of failing to protect the emperor? Or the older lore where the custodies didn't exist?
Ive subbed to this channel a few months ago, but never got around to watching any of the videos yet. I kind of had this sub as a bookmark for when I got free time. I finally got some this Memorial Weekend and have been watching videos..... I am having SO much fun. Thank you Luetin. I LOVE 40K lore. I dont play the tabletop, I just love the UNIVERSE and the history behind it.
Yeah I was really let down that he chose to be a fence sitter. Not unsubbing over it but if he ends up accepting or justifying “since the 1000 de was always gurlz” then I’m out.
@@countpicula Don't let the door hit you on the way out. Frankly the neckbeards are as bad as the wokeists, especially with the gatekeeping bullshit. What gives you, or anyone else for that matter the right to ell me I am not allowed to play a game? So frankly I am GLAD Leutin is sitting on the Fence because believe it or not there are a lot of people on that same fence with him, myself being another.... How about the wokeists and neckbeards eff off somewhere private and rant at each other and let the rest of us enjoy our hobby without all your fucking drama....
The whole stucturing of custodes is so asinine it defies suspension of disbelief. None of that would ever go down that way; its like an adult wrote the lore of other 40k factions, and an 8 year old wrote a fanfic about his favorite action figures that are better than all his friends' action figures, and THAT somehow became the official lore for Custodes.
Wow, you say that like you only listen to each of his videos once. 🤯 Me, I save them for as I'm dropping off, so they'll soak into my subconscious, then when I wake up, I'll go through the whole thing with my coffee in hand, and still again it'll cross my brain pan several times as I'm jumping around in his lore playlists. I'm never disappointed, and the more in-depth and esoteric he gets, the better. 🥳
I'm thinking that Guiliman honors the Custodies by not pulling rank and they grant his "requests" because he doesn't order them about. Mutual respect achieved.
The scene with Valdor and Ushotan locked in battle is one of my favorite scenes in 40k. "I pity you. What more can he take from you, valdor?" "... nothing." *kills ushotan* Chills every time.
The conversation was more well presented in the book, im just paraphrasing btw. It was SUCH A GOOD SCENE, I go back to read that chapter sometimes, just by itself 😅
This is actually going to be my first proper lore briefing for the Custodes. Other than a vague knowledge of their existence (see your description of them as rumor to even informed Imperial citizens) I never bothered to actually read up on them.
‘Let them come, insidious monsters that they are. Let them flow like a tide into the killing zone. Await my signal to activate the teleportariums, and then let us unleash the Emperor’s fury upon these abominations from every direction at once.’ - Oldorian Mefistal, Shield-Captain of the Dread Host
No disrespect, but videos of this channel are perfect for sleep aid. Recently I have terrible insomnia again, all of my regular methods don't work this time. But every time I put on this channel, I'll fall asleep within 20 minutes, even if I really try to listen to what the video's saying. I think there's a consistent calm/soothing energy in the voice over & background music. I'm thankful I found this channel. The emperor protects my sleep.
I have a question, why are there three different ranks that are unquestionably in control of all others except if the emperor is present. The inquisitors The custodians The primarchs (by extension Lord High Commander.) Like this feels like the warhammer version of the third triumvirate and I feel like will end just the same.
The inquisition has to have that kinda of power and authority, their job will often involve them going to isolated places in the imperium so they won't always have the ability to request permission to dictate the conclusion to their investigations. Custodes don't really have the authority to order everyone around, space marines can and have refused orders. And primarchs are the emperor's children they inherently hold the most authority of any living human.
I know absolutely nothing about Warhammer and will most likely never invest the time into it. But my god listening to these in bed before I sleep is fucking glorious
One question I have about the Custodes, I saw it referenced somewhere that they’ve built themselves back up to their original 10,000 number since the Heresy; is that true? I kind of thought they’d be way cooler as still the shadowed meager remnant leftover after the war in the Webway. I mean only the Emperor can make them, right?
Man, there's a lot of ivory tower settings in 40k, the extreme wealth of a planetary governor, or of a rogue trader, or of an inquisitor, compared to the squalor of the general public. But imagine being one of the chirurgeons who work in laboratories that look more like they're pulled out of star trek, and the disdain they likely feel for these "lesser people" who bring them their sons to be changed into gods.

I find it quite interesting.. that the changes of the lore regarding the custodes, comes right before the amazon show starts all production. Makes you think. Regardless if you like the changes or not, vote with your wallet, people.
This is the most passive aggressive anti-woman comment Ive seen. Sisters of Silence and Sisters of Battle have existed for years in WH. They are even mentioned in this very video about custodes. Is it that unfathomable that women could be among their ranks? Really?
25:26 Some of the roads on this map have to be like a kilometer wide if you can see them at that distance. It would be crazy to see I really want to see a 3d render of part of the imperial palace.
Valdor is loyal absolutely, I’ve no doubt he’s doing what he is for the emperor. Whether or not the res of the imperium will see it that way is up for debate. I’m hoping Eisenhorn joins him, or at least dies by his hands, the man deserves it.
Eh, I don't find much entertainment in this particular drama. That people can get so worked-up about such an inconsequential retcon doesn't make sense to me.
@@robertfancyman3873its because it will never stop there if the community allows it, and everybody knows it after seeing how countless other communities were corrupted due to complacency such as "well this change doesnt matter that much, so i dont care much about it"
In his last video he did say he needs more than one source for something to be Canon. He may change his mind after more lore identifying female custodes.
Spot the fash new to Luetin vids, who didn't see his last one. The writing to bring in female custodes was bad, but that doesn't mean it's an incorrect thing to do. He literally covers this in his previous video.

For those wondering: the misericordia is not a 40k specific weapon,. It's a piercing dagger (similar to Supernatural's angel blades) used for striking through the gaps between armor plates.
A regular piece on history for millennia to finish armoured knights once dismounted and immobilised; just unlike the female custodes that have always been true and real (trust me sister) guarding the palace's kitchen for millennia (but for those days of the month) unnoticed by anyone.

14:26 Speaking the truth can be in itself an act of defiance and rebellion against the forces of evil.

@@Scowleasy There's a very real faction of people that are making a concerted effort to police language - with real world punishments and consequences for not going along with their nonsense. This is especially true in my country. There's also a very real push by large media entities to infiltrate and degrade existing hobbies and IPs. What I'm referring to with the Custodes drama might seem small but you should underestimate the importance of "defiance" in these matters at your own peril. I don't particularly care if you find my choice of words to be dramatic or embarrassing. Either you're paying attention to what's going on or you're not.
Please do a video about the Dark King. I find the whole concept extremely interesting and would like to know everything about it. I promise I won't hurt any xenos.
It's a pity there won't ever be an "end" to 40k. Because having all the big bads of each faction facing off would be legendary. The Silent King, the Emperor, the tyranids. Actually who would the big bad of each faction be?
I have to thank you for standing on your morals, I find a way to contribute to your channel - i rarely do this, and it probably won't impact you much, but i hope others do the same and you see a visible jump in active support.
Yeah! The number 10000 doesn't stick. Mucho love to you Luetin09! Your knowledge is as always very appreciated. What is 10k men compared to the galaxy? One million planets of the Imperium? With all their subdivisions : guardians of basement, kitchen and personal guard of officials , of this and that, there wouldn't be enough of the Custos to go around. If 1 went to a different planet they could only go to 10k planets and there wouldn't be noone to guard Him on the throne. This needs be reworked to make more sense.
Probably 30.000 TH-cam don’t count numbers, but minutes, the full length is one unless they change it, that’s why a long video who just be uploaded can have several views already and likes because people like me often start liking the video and only if it’s bad I removed it because I’m pretty bad at remembering to like if it’s good but if it’s bad I will definitely remove the like 🤷♂️

The idea of 9 foot tall demigods going out among the grimdark drudgery of the galaxy to do anything "covertly" as the eyes of the emperor never fails to make me chuckle.
They just strap shoes to their knees and wear cloaks to cover their legs. So they only look 6 feet tall.

I've only followed 40k lore for about 2yrs now and I don't think Valdor will betray the emperor. I always think of the very beginning of Valdor: Birth of the Imperium. The conversation the emperor has with Valdor when he first wakes up has always been on my mind. The convo is vague. He tells Valdor to ask any question because in the days to come information and data is all he'll be able to give him. "There's no such think as a free lunch" "you pay a price for all things and this is mine" "I will become less than human... and more" "with one bargain you become stronger, you make another you become weaker." "It applies to mortals, it applies to gods, not that I intend to become one." And then the emperor ask if Valdor understands the reason for the grand bargain and if he finds it unworthy while asking him to speak freely. Valdor says "infinite power can't be overcome because we're finite, limited by law... so deception" "you will cheat them, you will cheat all of them and us" "a risky strategy, but there are no others" and he doesn't find the emperors plan unworthy. I honestly think it's the most important piece of lore with regards to the future 40k could be heading, although GW could always change things. I guess what I'm getting at is that Valdor knew all of the plans of the emperor, just as Malcador knew. The deception could lead to the emperor gaining power on the scale of the chaos gods, but he's not going to try and become one. But just cause he's not going to try doesn't mean its not a likely possibility. Valdor was in on the true deception and it's overall scale so I don't think betrayal is possible. One of my fav books. I'd honestly like to know what everyone else thinks. I've not had a chance to bring this up with anyone and I've not seen the convo in the book referenced anywhere on the internet.
It doesnt matter if he does or doesnt. Its up to you what happens. There is NO CANNON. EVERYTHING IS CANNON.
I love the characterisation of the Emperor as a masterful deceiver: he cheats the old four to make the primarchs, he lies to humanity about the the reality of the warp, he lets the mechanicum believe he is the Omnissiah, but he also ultimately beats Horus through sheer deception. That quote from Birth of the Imperium is his justification - in the face of a hostile, all-consuming infinity, he will navigate the future of his species with guile and cunning (e.g. by allowing for the existence of the Imperial cult despite rejecting godhood on the Vengeful Spirit); as Malcador comments after ascending to the Golden Throne, seemingly to Horus who can't really hear him, his King of Ages "will become anything you need him to be" to win. It's a great choice that allows GW writers to do a lot while remaining consistent and not revealing the truth about the Emperor. It also makes the figure seem really transcendent, because it puts him in a league with Cegorath and the Deceiver, some of the most influential characters in 40k as a whole.
Superb analysis sir!!
Valdor I think is doing controlled opposition
Great take and thanks for referencing the book. Going to grab that and have a good read.
You should add the 10,000 Custodes to your 40K number problem video. There's no way that 10,000 individuals can adequately patrol a continent sized complex in addition to working as jailors, the Emperor's personal body guard, fighting off daemons in the web way, and sending war parties out into the galaxy. There has to be at least 10x that number and the Custodes only ever say there are 10,000 of them so that the High Lords of Terra don't perceive them as threats.
In terms of scripture m, 10,000 is a symbolic number which doesn't mean 10,000 in number but something more like "a number large enough to count if you had enough time"
They are not a problem. There are only 10000 Custodes because that's how hard and time consuming is to create and arm each one of those men, but they are not the only one ones protecting the Imperial Palace, just it's most powerfull protectors + Big E's personal bodyguards. The Lucifer Blacks, a group of elite soldiers made of normal humans, is one of the other groups also protecting the palace.
It's totally dumb.
This has always made sense to me. The Custodes answer to no one except Big-E, they consider themselves the true inheritors of His authority, and they view the entire IoM as a failed experiment. Why *wouldn't* they tell the fake rulers of the fake Imperium they only have ten thousand members? _They_ are the actual people who matter, the only ones who dad really cared about, so who cares what the savages outside the walls think?
And the the female custodes on watch in the palace's kitchen for so many years, away from everyone's attention...

I like to imagine the only way a Custodes could do “spy” work being a 80 ft tall brick shit-house is if they painted themselves green and started talking like they have brain damage to infiltrate Orks.
No, they paint themselves purple 😂
A more serious answer... in book 10 of the HH, there's a short story called Bloodgames that follows a Custode around a he attempts to blend in and hide amongst everyday folk. He uses a device that masks his bulky stature, so everyone perceives his as nothing but a normal human. Only one character was able to sense the disguise, a Lucifer black.

I can't even imagine how dangerous a custodian terminator would be...
I always thought this with a Custodian Dreadnought.
How impossibly divine can your duty be to be returned from death to continue battle, not administration or Intel like the weakened custodes. But truly battle.
Three squads of Allarus Custodians with leaders is legit 1590 pts. That's only 21 models and none are a named character.
Extremely dangerous, especially now that they (presumably) have receptacles for superhuman menstruation byproducts. Which could probably kill a mere mortal simply by being within 10m of them. But hey, any weapon is a good weapon in the -grimdark- progressive and virtuous 41st millenium, right?
Standard Custodes are deadly. I'm assuming their terminators are also deadly because it's the maximum amount of deadly anything can be. Oh wait, I forgot super deadly. That's the amount of deadly is the end result of getting super killed.

Realistically, a space marine is something out of a nightmare. Custodes are on a level that is hard to comprehend.
Side note: Orks probably have mad respect for the Custodes. Dem' Goold Humiez can really fight!

He gave some like Curze and Angron command of a space marine legion without even properly vetting them and knowing without doubt that they were totally insane.
I wish GW would expand the Dankanatoi better.
They feel strange being a "chamber" rather than a "Shield Host".

The whole stucturing of custodes is so asinine it defies suspension of disbelief. None of that would ever go down that way; its like an adult wrote the lore of other 40k factions, and an 8 year old wrote a fanfic about his favorite action figures that are better than all his friends' action figures, and THAT somehow became the official lore for Custodes.

But every time I put on this channel, I'll fall asleep within 20 minutes, even if I really try to listen to what the video's saying. I think there's a consistent calm/soothing energy in the voice over & background music. I'm thankful I found this channel. The emperor protects my sleep.
I have a question, why are there three different ranks that are unquestionably in control of all others except if the emperor is present.
The inquisitors
The custodians
The primarchs (by extension Lord High Commander.)
Like this feels like the warhammer version of the third triumvirate and I feel like will end just the same.
The inquisition has to have that kinda of power and authority, their job will often involve them going to isolated places in the imperium so they won't always have the ability to request permission to dictate the conclusion to their investigations.
Custodes don't really have the authority to order everyone around, space marines can and have refused orders.
And primarchs are the emperor's children they inherently hold the most authority of any living human.
Three is very common in a lot of religions, deities and mythologies. Heck, the Rule of Two is one of the few deviations.

One question I have about the Custodes, I saw it referenced somewhere that they’ve built themselves back up to their original 10,000 number since the Heresy; is that true? I kind of thought they’d be way cooler as still the shadowed meager remnant leftover after the war in the Webway. I mean only the Emperor can make them, right?
I think in the Emperors Legion it was stated that yes, their numbers went back to slightly under 10k. That was before the Khornate demon invasion
No, they are still being made. None of the current Custodes are 10K years old
@KainMarko-kj2op Yeah just read some of the books. Most books with Custodes mention something about newer/less experienced members
A simple search proves otherwise. The Iron Kingdom talks about Vychellan who was alive when the Emperor was a man. Valdor and Amon were alive in 30k.
@@efoxneo I don't know about the other two, but Valdor the obvious exception. He's like a psuedo-primarch
Man, there's a lot of ivory tower settings in 40k, the extreme wealth of a planetary governor, or of a rogue trader, or of an inquisitor, compared to the squalor of the general public. But imagine being one of the chirurgeons who work in laboratories that look more like they're pulled out of star trek, and the disdain they likely feel for these "lesser people" who bring them their sons to be changed into gods.
I find it quite interesting.. that the changes of the lore regarding the custodes, comes right before the amazon show starts all production. Makes you think.

Valdor is loyal absolutely, I’ve no doubt he’s doing what he is for the emperor. Whether or not the res of the imperium will see it that way is up for debate. I’m hoping Eisenhorn joins him, or at least dies by his hands, the man deserves it.
I cannot WAIT to go through all the drama in the comments.
You won't have to search far. Oh dear.
Love how many clearly did not watch his video on female custodies
@@huntereyeofdarkwood5417 The fact there is even a video on female Custodes is the problem.
Eh, I don't find much entertainment in this particular drama. That people can get so worked-up about such an inconsequential retcon doesn't make sense to me.
@@robertfancyman3873its because it will never stop there if the community allows it, and everybody knows it after seeing how countless other communities were corrupted due to complacency such as "well this change doesnt matter that much, so i dont care much about it"
I've heard Custodes are actually snotlings, operating the armour like a titan.
Everything is canon after all
My favorite army with my favorite Lore channel. Golden.
I'm leaving a comment before finishing the video. BOOYAH

Thank you, Luetin

In his last video he did say he needs more than one source for something to be Canon. He may change his mind after more lore identifying female custodes.
Spot the fash new to Luetin vids, who didn't see his last one. The writing to bring in female custodes was bad, but that doesn't mean it's an incorrect thing to do. He literally covers this in his previous video. Because, geuss what, it take hima hell of a long time to make these videos, and he was already in the process when the new update was introduced
But a fash like you, new to warhammer, wouldn't know that
@@3darkdescents537 I personally think femstodes gonna end like Erda, GW will never wrote about them again after that backlash and everyone gonna pretend this clusterfuck never happened.
@@3darkdescents537 I don't think there will be more lore about femstodes, especially after that backlash, that whole thing gonna end like Erda, everyone will pretend it never happened and go on.
For those wondering: the misericordia is not a 40k specific weapon,. It's a piercing dagger (similar to Supernatural's angel blades) used for striking through the gaps between armor plates.
A regular piece on history for millennia to finish armoured knights once dismounted and immobilised; just unlike the female custodes that have always been true and real (trust me sister) guarding the palace's kitchen for millennia (but for those days of the month) unnoticed by anyone.
Funk G Wokeshop!
Thank you for dropping this, this is superb, this has been a long time coming, I appreciate your efforts for these! The faction/ sub-faction overviews are my favorites, and as much as the heretics are probably to be next, I really wanna hear either The Great Devour Part 3, or Gorka Morka part 3. Bugs and Ork boyz need some love too 😢

Speaking the truth can be in itself an act of defiance and rebellion against the forces of evil. One small, deliberate choice of wording in a single sentence and it's all that you need to say on the controversy. I haven't gotten any further into the video yet so I'm not sure if it's addressed elsewhere, but this right here is the way to go about it.
Common Leutin W. Knowledge, truth, integrity. Your videos have been a source of comfort and digestible knowledge for me for years now. Thanks for fighting the good fight and sharing your love for the hobby. The Emperor Protects!
David, you need to stop spending so much time online. “An act of defiance and rebellion”? Talk about embarrassing.
@@Scowleasy There's a very real faction of people that are making a concerted effort to police language - with real world punishments and consequences for not going along with their nonsense. This is especially true in my country. There's also a very real push by large media entities to infiltrate and degrade existing hobbies and IPs. What I'm referring to with the Custodes drama might seem small but you should underestimate the importance of "defiance" in these matters at your own peril. I don't particularly care if you find my choice of words to be dramatic or embarrassing. Either you're paying attention to what's going on or you're not.
@@IAMStormyNautilus this is just sad
@@IAMStormyNautilus Dude, its plastic toy soldiers and a minor retcon.
@@emilvennerberg4927 Your inability to see the relevance of this tiny retcon to the bigger picture is not my problem.
Please do a video about the Dark King. I find the whole concept extremely interesting and would like to know everything about it. I promise I won't hurt any xenos.
Doing a video about a thematic element that appears in one book. Don't hold your breath.
Hail! The Lore Master returns.
Ah yes, my favorite faction, the Adaptis Costoads
It's a pity there won't ever be an "end" to 40k.
Because having all the big bads of each faction facing off would be legendary. The Silent King, the Emperor, the tyranids.
Actually who would the big bad of each faction be?
Oh thank god. I am having trouble sleeping and could use something to help.
Ao when do you reckon we'll ger baby custodies? A baby dreadnaught would be cool. Im just thinking of a miniature golden throne, or a potty.
I have to thank you for standing on your morals, I find a way to contribute to your channel - i rarely do this, and it probably won't impact you much, but i hope others do the same and you see a visible jump in active support.
YEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

BEEN WAITING 5 YEARS FOR THIS

Likes to the likes throne! Comment for the comment throne! Engagement for the engagement god!
Yeah! The number 10000 doesn't stick.
Mucho love to you Luetin09! Your knowledge is as always very appreciated.
What is 10k men compared to the galaxy? One million planets of the Imperium?
With all their subdivisions : guardians of basement, kitchen and personal guard of officials , of this and that, there wouldn't be enough of the Custos to go around.
If 1 went to a different planet they could only go to 10k planets and there wouldn't be noone to guard Him on the throne.
This needs be reworked to make more sense.
Darn 😞, 3 thousand loyal citizens have beaten me to this video already
You are no less loyal! His guidance reaches all, your moment of truth is no less than the one who hears it first. In His Name.
Only in death does duty end. You're here now.
It matters not if you are here first, only that you are here now.
Probably 30.000 TH-cam don’t count numbers, but minutes, the full length is one unless they change it, that’s why a long video who just be uploaded can have several views already and likes because people like me often start liking the video and only if it’s bad I removed it because I’m pretty bad at remembering to like if it’s good but if it’s bad I will definitely remove the like 🤷♂️
A brotherhood of golden bananas 💪
Sisterhood now. Lmao
@@TheBigExclusiveThat's right! Don't you DARE call attention to that female penis, or you can take your money and go spend it somewhere else!
Also GW: "Why is our stock going down, and why are people canceling their subscriptions and orders? Hmm. We should hire SBI to look into this. 🤔"
@@TheBigExclusive You are excused, tourist, for not knowing better :)
Brotherhood it is.
@TheBigExclusive
no only men. Everything else is heresy🍌💪🏻
