Amazing as always. I hope people such as yourself are included in the lore team of upcoming 40k adaptations. Custodes are awe inspiring, thank you for the in depth elucidation on them.
At last the Adeptus Custodes video, the main reason why the Imperium hasn't crumbled apart for 10 thousand years, i can wait for Henry Cavill himself to watch and comment about this amazing video you have made Remembrancer 🗿
What does Henry have to do with that at all? He will play a boring space marine that had zero relevance for the Custodes. Hos role is a fart in the wind compared to a single custodian. They are epic. Space marines boring af
@@Jahstice he PLAYS Custodes…and actively comments on Custodes related content. Why are you so aggressively ignorant? It’s a choice, and in the words of the Grail Knight “You chose poorly.”
Who at GW thought "there has always been female Custodes" must have been either seriously woke, or just needed to make more stories out of the Custodes in a really.. pathethic way.
Thank you Brother for the glorious Lore I love all your videos Thank you for welcoming me to the Warhammer 40K community and universe 😊keep up the Great work 👍🔥🔥🔥🔥 5:01
So happy to hear someone pronounce "Custodes" correctly. It sounds so bad when people say "Cust-ODES" instead of Cust-oh-deez. Neat little breakdown of the Emperor's finest, thanks for the vid!!
I will ignore the new codex stuff that just came out about the Custodes, i still may be new to the lore but even i know when something isn't right Praise the Remembrancer!
The Scouring Vook series is being written now I think a book or 2 has been done but going through revisions before they get the go ahead . After reading all the Herasy and most recent 40k over the years I can’t wait to get into that . I hope their is a better choice of stories ,no filler, all hits I can dream lol
The Custodes are the pinnacle of the human fighting abilities before they reach the status of truly demigods sons of the Emperor, and there is no doubt that they will slain anything that even looks threatening to the direction of the Emperor.
Custodians guard the palace for months or years without moving. Don't their hair and beard gets huge and messy under their helmet? I can digest the fact that they don't pee or poo for long time as everything gets absorbed into their body because of super digestive system but hair and beard gonna be a problem! 👀
No, only the Companions and Keepers need to do that shit. Through i think Keepers do have to patrol from time to time Normal Custodians move around to perform their duties. There are reasons that those positions require the best even among the superhuman warriors of Custodians. Even for them, sitting still for years, decades or even a century while ready to spring to action at anytime is not easy. Add on top of that are the psychic inferno around the Throne or hellish conditions in the Dark cells. The Captain General and Keeper Captain need to mindful of rotation
oh great remembrancer! one of the ultramarine's best men whose existence to the wider imperium has been unjustifiably suppressed. please elucidate illiyan nastase, one of the best men of the ultramarines, though forces may try to cover up his existence, we can't let his deeds go unnoticed and be insulted!
I love the less covered sides of 40K. I learnt alot. I knew a little before but this just swells my understanding and joy. Thank you for this gift. I have no idea it was coming. Best surprise of the month. You guys rule 💯❤️😈🤖🫡
You left out the fact that the custodians that boarded the vengeful spirit with the emperor were actually tainted and turned by Horus, and they not only attacked the emperor but he was forced to kill almost all of them that had accompanied him! So yes not only did he have to fight his son who was all warped Juiced up, but he had to fight his own bodyguards so ain't that just a bitch? It weighed very heavily on his mind and pained him greatly for every single one of them he had to slay. The Big E was not having a good day that day. 1 anyway my brother another great video entry! As always you rock you roll keep it up!! "VICTORUS AUT MORTIS "
"Hey Emp. Sorry you didnt get the memo from Games Workshop but your sons are daughters now. Gonna need for you to adjust some of that toxic rhetoric. THANKS!" lol. But seriously. Great video. I learned a lot about this and see why people really like the custodes.
To cast away 9k out of 10,000 custodes, he so called human webway. They're being slaughtered in Eldar city of callistall and many knights and titans. Waste. Having 10k custodes ready to fight on suface if Terra ....it would've have lasted 59 days. Plot armor is a biotcg.. valdor rage quit. Then the iron shovels turned into a leather daddy outfit in black leather s&m outfits. To grieve for millennium long darkness with their lord.
Created to kill thunder warriors; you are only as great as your significant enemy or opposition. THEY ARE AN EXAMPLE OF HOW POWERFUL THE THUNDER WARRIORS TRULY WERE. So much so that their own creator betrayed and stabbed them in the back. That is HUMANITY.
Awesome vid. I once heard that if you drape a tank in a camo net to hide it, all you get is a camo net that looks like a tank. So, regarding the eyes of the emperor, I still dont get how you hide or normalise a 12 foot demi chad by sticking a cloak over him and hoping no-one looks.
Would love love love to see a video game that had the Custodians as the protagonists!! Start it with the purging of the thunder warriors, the defense of Terra, blood games, etc!! Would be so sick to run through chaos marine troops like they weren’t but kids with sticks and slingshots!!
Beneath the palace there are highly advanced gene and alchemy labs that have workers who follow the emperors instructions that he left behind on how to craft one. Many labour and die to craft a single one.
surely custodians are able to recruit more right? genesmiths are still there but with out the oversight of the emperor. hope they are back to being the 10 thousand in current time line
I would love to read some novels that follow a unit of custodes that go out and capture traitors and whatever else they can find to bring back for the blood games. Traitor marines crapping themselves as they get captured alive by the golden boys would be wholesome
The custodes only "weakness" in combat is psykers and demons. They're extremely resistant to psychic power with marine librarians struggling to even slow them down, describing it as interacting with a wall of indomitable will, and are often deployed with sisters of silence to level the field. Tanau Aleya in watchers of the throne says "if it bleeds a custodian can kill it" and sisters job is to anchor demons in real space so that they can be slain
I kind of want to see a fight between a Moiraides warship and an Abyss-class battleship, given that they are both extremely overpowered irreplaceable warships of their respective factions that have almost no specifics known about them.
Still can't believe how pathetic it is that the custodians pouted for 10,000 years. They deprived a constantly struggling imperium of humanity's most powerful soldiers. I mean, I'm sure just 200 stodes would be more than overkill to any threat to the Da Emporah
@@isaacmaya1915 except they are. They're serving the Imperium under Guilliman right now and going out into the stars to take the fight to the enemies of the Emperor. Which they could have been doing this whole time. But most of them would rather sit in silent pouty vigil in their planets ransom worth of Oromite armor. Horus and Choas killed Sanginious and nearly thr Emperor, destroying his dream and forcing him to sit on the golden thrones, writhing in torment... and they felt no compunction for, at the very least, revenge? Give me the spirit of a Lamenter in the body of a Custodes and I'll show you a conquered galaxy.
@Zappbrannigan83 they only do so on the notion that the best defense of the emperor requires striking out in great force among the stars which only happened because Captain-General trajann valoris agreed to do so at guilllimans request following the opening of the great rift and the 88 blood cohorts attacking the palace. They did venture out previously with the dread host specifically dedicated to destroying threats before they grow and the Aquilan shield protecting key individuals who have some role to play. They weren't all 10k on Terra all the time.
@@nicholasperfitt5803 he is a primarch and on top of that a rage fueled fighting beast with help from the butcher’s nails. Only Constantin Valdor might be able to stalemate a primarch. That’s how good they are.
I've heard someone say the custodes can replenish their ranks, is this true? Cause that makes these guys kinda busted. They are generally considered to be the best of the best in the 40k universe and outside of a couple times we've only heard of them as unstoppable forces. Send one at Abbadon and genuinely believe they'd be a match for him. If a single chaplain of the blood angels can land one clean hit against Abby, then I assume a custode(If their abiltiies are true) would genuinely challenge him.
Custodes recruitment begins in infancy with noble families offering their children through the avenue of sacrifice on Terra. The process of their creation is not known beyond the walls of the palace but is said to border on the occult as they have the Emperor's genes within them and the transformation takes place in the cells. With no surgeries for additional organs akin to the astartes. The process is extremely precise but very costly. Before the opening of the great rift they numbered at 9842 I believe, just under full strength according to "Watchers of the Throne". TLDR: they can, it's just extremely fucking costly and takes a long ass time
@@isaacmaya1915 Thank you. So it's not AS broken as it seems. it's just a loss of a custodes is a huge undertaking to replace. So the more they lose, the harder it becomes to really replenish. And with them active again since G-mans return they will probably drop once in awhile now.
@Admiralkirk95 not necessarily harder but it will take longer to reach full strength as each custodian takes a long time to create and make ready to standards. It's not like marines where they can just have a bunch of aspirants and extra on top to account for failures and deaths before they finish the trials and recycle the organs later.
@@isaacmaya1915 Ya I guess so. I thought they just cloned/grew the extra organs for Space marines. it was just the geneseed organ they extract cause it's the only way they can get more geneseed. Which can make consistent failures of aspirants in the mutation phase could start to hurt your stock.

Excellent! The Custodes are the coolest warriors in 40k imo.
Who has been waiting for him to do the Custodes and has 2 two thumbs?
Answer: DIS GUY
Phenomenal video and the Custodes Watchers of the Throne series is one of the best 40K out there.

Lovely bunch of lads, the custodes
The Custodes are the pinnacle of the human fighting abilities before they reach the status of truly demigods sons of the Emperor, and there is no doubt that they will slain anything that even looks threatening to the direction of the Emperor.
Except for the fact that they literally had ONE JOB and failed at it miserably.
How can it not be mentioned the name of best custodes, Little Kitten
Custodians guard the palace for months or years without moving. Don't their hair and beard gets huge and messy under their helmet? I can digest the fact that they don't pee or poo for long time as everything gets absorbed into their body because of super digestive system but hair and beard gonna be a problem! 👀
Such trivial things as hair growth have been accounted for, for such as thing as too long of hair will not stop the first born to fulfill their duty.
No women trouble too
The custodian guard has a single brother who takes each helmet off and shaves and cut every piece of hair on a custodian
No, only the Companions and Keepers need to do that shit. Through i think Keepers do have to patrol from time to time
Normal Custodians move around to perform their duties.
There are reasons that those positions require the best even among the superhuman warriors of Custodians.

I feel like those in the throne room just have their hair fry off due to the intense light and heat coming from the emperor and golden throne.
My favorite 40k army! (I’m on a budget and this is all I can afford)
this video was super awsome bravo bravo
oh great remembrancer! one of the ultramarine's best men whose existence to the wider imperium has been unjustifiably suppressed. please elucidate illiyan nastase, one of the best men of the ultramarines, though forces may try to cover up his existence, we can't let his deeds go unnoticed and be insulted!
For Kitten
Rewatching this to see where it says anything about them being women
The Emperor himself said "these men" but still according to gw somehow female custodes existed.
Amazing work as always, Remembrancer!!!

Don't let the Imperial fists see this video!!
I’m not long time fan of Warhammer 40k but every single time fall in Custodes. Even I didn’t play table game but first purchased Joytoys custodians. ❤
"For one does not refuse a gift from the Master of Mankind." Unless you're the utterly brain dead Black Templars, that is.
The custodian attachment to that vessel killed most of the templars on board single handedly
The “non shall bar them from me’ sounds like he knew the whole he’d be placed on the throne.

They can its just time consuming and resource intensive. They were just under 10k before the opening of the great rift
