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. The 3 superhumans to 1 guardian loss can be concidered a victory.
@@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.
And with this in mind, OF COURSE it makes sense for there to be female custodians! Execution was god-awful, ripped off like a band-aid instead of presented gracefully, but whatever.
Custodies in lore: I am surounded by fear and dead heretics! Custodies in boardgame: Loses half of the army to bunch of orcs. Custodies in TTS: Astec dubstep intensifies.
@@Lambeckz Fun fact, there are no lost battles with custodies because nobody dares to write them down. So no matter how often they lose, they always win. History is written by the winners, and the custodies always win because so is the history written.
@@adrianmedeiros615 in my Records the 9 Angles fought and Beat him and His demons with the Help of the Custodes, but where to late to Safe the Emperor from getting wounded.
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."
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

@@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
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.
@@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.
@@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.
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.
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.
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

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!
Regardless of the completely absurd female Custodes retcon.... The Custodes always will be my favorite... They are just so unreal legendary..... Hard to love anything in Warhammer as much as The Golden BROTHERHOOD!!!! BROTHERHOOD ....I wont forgive that retcon adding female Custodes just for the sake of inclusivity was a complete joke, but nothing GW's dumb asses could do could ruin the Golden Brothers of the Emperor.

@@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
They left that one Custodes back in the Imperial Kitchen on Sandwich duty as always, I see.
And they shall know no hunger 🥪🥪🥪🥪

Every Chaos cultists gangsta around until they hear a “meow” from a certain cat….before said golden cat broke Hell loose
I'd like to see more of these, where they animate and give a short breakdown on factions. Would be nice to get new people in
Toe-to-toe best warriors in the Imperium, if not the galaxy. I'd pick 5 of these over 50 Astartes any day
Like 2 astartes would be enough to kill like 50 astartes in an all out brawl and if allowed to do skirmishes and plan then 1 would be enough
The Emperor's most holy Bananas!
I once saw a picture of a banana guard from adventure time next to a custodes and ever since then I've never been able to see it any other way
we need this to be a class in sm2
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.
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.
The brass bros
The corn warriors, funny looking fellas.😂
HAHA right
Funny but more deadly than a space marine

Anyways good cinematic, really loved it

Can we go back to the naked, gay, oiled up men? It's much preferable than the it's-ma'am-stodes.
The strongest men in the Imperium
feel my quivering abs
You all arrive at the slabnasium of the quivering isles. The air is thick with musk..
Toby Longworth's narration took me by surprise.
And not a single one of them being flamboyant, oiled-up exhibitionist...
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
I could have been a Custodes. But I was busy that day...

And their is absolutely no girls allowed in this faction as they are the sons of the emperor

@abyssal-labs it's sons of the nobles not the emporer 🤦♂️

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
As a Necron enjoyer the mere fact that woman being within their ranks has the Witch Corpse's supporters in such a tizzy does bring a smile to my face!
By his will alone.
Follow the Adeptus Custodes into their gender transitions
@@magladroth3665 gender transitions?
I wonder how much it would cost to rent 5 custodes in real life. Just for a day. I’m guessing billions of dollars
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
It's amazing how a single Norm bodied 6 of those guys and he wasn't even trying.
Do you mean a norn queen? The custodes have never fought a norn queen.
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
Thats a disturbing image
Toby longworth will always be epic
Felt like a Bionicle commercial
Needing more than 1?...something is horribly wrong
Gracias.
The Emperor was committed to having 30% of his personal guard be Femstodes 😂
The first faction to fall to the spreading corruption. We are indeed in the final days of, not only the Imperium, but the galaxy itself. Until the end brothers. In the name of The Emperor.
@@SarthorSI guess it was tzeentch and slaanesh that truly won in the end
@@sanguinius01z I think even Tzeentch would have trouble understanding the warped minds of these people.
You look like a Starfruit!
Jojo music but heavy metal
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
marine malevolent: bet
Banana Guards
this is awesome
What in holy terra requires 5 custodies to handle it
The Adeptus Custodes... great for just standing around and doing nothing.
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
Sounds like Kazarion's VA
Ai voice is heresy
Move aside Battle sister and Sister of Silence the Herecy at Games workshop will delete your existance in couple month (I rather they explore Sister of silence and Battle sister more then whatever dogshit they cock up now)
100% and imo the female custodes are more sexist since the sisters were just as badass as the custodes without needing to undergo the transition
Agreed a Grim dark in real life where they push aside a True Saint and working woman for a Overbearing Celebrity, next they will make Space Marine female (they do exist but I believe they are not much of a weird one off 1st edition or 2nd) and push Sister more to shadow realm
Just need a Big Fat Tyranid with 3 health phase.
@@oceannova6976 Why?😢
@@Arg8sha. Cuz Space Marine 2 proves that even angels can be outmatched.
Custodes never go in groups they only go as one man at a time
They pretty consistently work in small squads. Yes they tend to operate separately but they are normally deployed in squads that divide into independent units once they begin operations. Their entire structure is based on 5 man squads that make up their larger shield hosts.
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!

Regardless of the completely absurd female Custodes retcon.... The Custodes always will be my favorite... They are just so unreal legendary..... Hard to love anything in Warhammer as much as The Golden BROTHERHOOD!!!! BROTHERHOOD ....I wont forgive that retcon adding female Custodes just for the sake of inclusivity was a complete joke, but nothing GW's dumb asses could do could ruin the Golden Brothers of the Emperor.
Santodes! Convince them.
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.
just give Toby Longworth all the money!! 👍
