Hello Majorkill, Would you please make some lore videos on the Imperial Truth, the Imperial Creed, the Ecclesiarchy, and the High Lords of Terra? Pretty please? Thank you.
The reason why the Custodes are so warp resistant is that their soul has a psychic ward called Aegis of the Emperor, and it's powerful enough to banish lesser daemons in their proximity like Nurgle's Rot Flies.
Rot Flies? Are you sure you don't mean Battle Flies or Eyestingers, or some other obscure daemonic breed like the Destroyers of Typhus? Rot Flies are the gigantic Dreadnought sized fly Daemons that the Plague Drone elite ride on, I think even a Custodes wouldn't be able to simply ignore a Daemon of that power.
Harelquins: *bounces about as Jevils theme plays throwing random shit around the place.* Custodes: *get killed trying to keep the house tidy before dad notices.*

Old lore: Astartes are a pack of wolves and Custodes are lone lions New lore: Astartes are a pack of wolves and Custodes are a pack of Sifs from Dark Souls
To me, the Custodes are the Apex of human evolution that's why they're so awesome, so if you pick and open the human DNA code and max out all the qualities and achieve the full potential and evolution of the human species you will get a custodian each and every time, making them so rare and special
I always liked the idea. I came up with her how they were created. Which was that they are a work of art so they are made by a team of super biologists and anatomists who spend however, long it takes placing each and every single piece of DNA cells etc. in the perfect organization.
Kinda close, thats actually what the emperor is, the max physical evolutionary potential of mankind before we simply transcend the need for a physical body all together.
@@Romuluz369 cool all we now need is mass sacrifice ritual a bunch of psyker to create a bunch of perfect emperor lvl guy!

Basic bitch custard has 1 more WS and BS than a basic marine, better armour save, 1 more attack, 1 more wound, wounds him on 3+, while marine wounds him on 5+.
They are as powerful as the writer wants them to be. Aaron Dembski Bowden made them about the same a Primaris is to a firstborn and that might have been a little too weak. Others have written them on a level close to Primarchs.
Honestly, it would make sense if they were somewhere in between normal Astartes and Primarchs. Like, not really close to a primarch, but a group of 10-20 or more being a decent fight for a primarch - where I imagine, the same amount of Astartes would be a good laugh for most Primarchs.
Also seems to depend on the individual custodes and how much plot armor they have. Whats-his-face got bodied by argel tal and 2 normal ass space marines. They hadn't even become gal vorbak yet. Then valdor goes into the web way with the Emperor and just starts slaughtering daemons like crazy. Valdor is probably a decent fight to your average primarch. But would likely lose to the highly combat specialized ones. (El'johnson, corax, horus, the khan, russ etc.) And valdor could probably body the less combat oriented ones. (Lorgar, alpharius, I'd argue probably dorn and perty too.)
@@__-tp4tm Also heavily depends on which Primarch. If he has Psyker Powers like Magnus or ascended Lorgar than only a lucky cheapshot would allow the Custodians to win.
@@sphyre1196 Of course, these are eventualities. I mean, if we think about it, most primarchs would be screwed to begin with if they were on a planet getting Exterminated. So yeah, of course the situation plays heavily into such event. From which Primarch is faced, to which situation he's in. Im sure it wouldn't be a problem for Custodians to bring some Blanks along in case their target were to be one of, if not the, most powerful Psyker.
For me it makes sense that they are made essentially as physically the same as a Primarch without the warp juice and not built from the ground up like the Primarchs were. Besides Valdor. He is just built different from being built different.
A custodian not realizing he is already doomed when suffering a wound would make him a flawed creation. With that much investment going into every single one of them, the Moment one of them is certain to die or have his function impaired severely and permanently, he MUST immediately switch to a self-sacrificial strategy of combat through which he can hope to save as many other custodians as possible while achieving their objective, at the cost of his live. The realization of doom is a powerful weapon when wielded by one not paralyzed by it.
Iirc it was a lone custodian, who was found standing on top of a mountain of corpses. It was less that he didn’t realize he was basically dead, and more that he found it irrelevant to his task of “hold this area.”
Custodian's are aware that they receive mortal wounds. But they don't let the impending death get to them. As far as the Custodian's are concerned. Mortal life is meaningless if the Emperors will is not served.
What you just said is easily the dumbest thing I've seen on the internet in weeks and reeks of a limp-wristed peasant who has never even thrown a punch let alone has any functional knowledge of combat. What you described is the absolute last thing they should do.
The Custodes vs the splinter fleet is definitely more a case of Tyranids getting miswritten rather than showing off how strong Custodes are. There's no way an ever adapting foe like the Tyranids, let alone a master tactician like the Swarmlord, would have just mindlessly ran into a choke point... A cool moment for the Custodes, but definitely a blown up feat for them using the bug bois as a sacrifice.
Like many things in Warhammer it's probably a lore version of Gartic Phone. Because Warhammer lore is so nebulous, and exaggeration so rampant, what *actually* happened is up for debate. This is why I believe Ciaphas Cain embodies Warhammer lore the most. He's a complete charlatan, but his legend is so great that it forcibly propelled him to greatness.
@@ocek2744 Ill uave to disagree a bit Cain is definitly no Charletan He might (At thr time of course) be the greatest Human swordsman in the literal entire Imperium Or in the Astartes minds, at least the Segmentum Sure, his plot armor comes in the way of a Blank who saves his ass CONSTANTLY But hes definitely an absolutr monster in combat, the likes of which overshadows pretty much every human outside of Eversors
Like the other gentlemen here said A lot of 40k is "Stories" Like the Harlequins killing the Custodes is a "Story" told by the Eldar Or the Hive fleet splinter would be a story tols by a Gaurdsman Everything is Canon Not everything is true
Still think a Solataire could fuck a custodes up in a 1v1 but not more than one at a time and probably even then be Ethier to tired to fight another or be to injured.
I always like the idea that the emperor had the custodians to be able to put down a rebellious Primarch without being forced to ask one of his brothers to do it
Well, that makes sense. Big E always focused on his crusading business, there simply wasn't much time in his schedule to care for those pesky traitors. Hence creating his golden boys to handle those issues would make sense. xD
That literally diminishes role of Rus, since he is considered the slaughterer of Primarchs and was the main force in erasing forgotten legions from history
Interesting fact: there are multiple cases in human history where someone HAS had part (up to half) there brain destroyed/blown out of there head and kept going. Forget his name but one of the most famous is a gentleman who was working on the railroad and had a 3 inch in diameter six foot long iron bar go through his head. He had some anger issues after but lived an entire life. Someone in the 90s in the US was shot in the head with a magnum during a robbery... he lived.
There's also Robert Lawrence, a former British Army officer who served in the Falklands War. ''Lawrence wrote about his experience at the Battle of Mount Tumbledown when, in his moment of victory on the eastern slopes, he was almost killed when a bullet fired by an Argentine sniper tore off the side of his head. He was awarded the Military Cross for bravery, but he spent a year in a wheelchair and was almost totally paralyzed. Lawrence's wound was caused by a 7.62×51mm round passing through the rear of his skull, to emerge at his hairline above his right eye. He lay on the thin cover of snow on the exposed mountaintop for six hours. Airlifted off Tumbledown, Lawrence was left outside a makeshift operating theatre without painkillers. Two weeks from his 22nd birthday on 14 June, he assumed he was the last to be operated on because he was the least likely to survive causing him to wait 8 hours at the back of the operating queue.'' You can see clips of him on TH-cam on talk shows; you would never know anything had happened to him.
Marines in the opening battles of Iraq kept charging and firing their weapons after taking machine gun fire and losing half their head (literally). It was one of the reasons so many of their loyalist guard surrendered. There are also several accounts of it happening during Viet Nam, particularly during the battle for Hamburger Hill. Now, did they go on like nothing happened? No, usually they fell shortly after -- but the point is they kept doing the last thing their brain ordered their body to do. And when you're shooting someone multiple times and watch their head go poof and they are *STILL* charging you, thaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaats a bit of a mind fuck.
Some of my favorite quotes are from Valerian, the Custodian noting that space marines are there natural prey and seeing his closest too excitement at fighting along side Imperial Fists was a great read, also during the Horus Hersey it took 16 World Eaters to kill one Custodian. The fight was off panel but the Sister of Silence noted that in particular.
What if Custodians like the Astartes thinking they can somehow beat them. The enemy having the perception they are better than you, when they are not, is an advantage in itself. "When you are strong, appear weak" - Sun Tzu
@@jacobaugustine6249 Nah, the Custodes need to appear to the public as the mythical resplendent god warriors who win every battle no matter the odds. If they were to just say that Astartes were stronger, that would definitely hurt the morale of humanity, thinking the supposed defenders of the Throne are weaker then the average Space Marine.
@@KarpetBurnit would be a tad difficult but maybe they could ‘leak’ information about how the Custodes aren’t as strong as people think they are to the enemy
Also when Aquillon learned of the treachery going on he killed the five high-ranking Word Bearers protecting Lorgar in just 3 seconds, before being sneak-attacked by Argel iirc.
Please do a video on current Valdor and speculation on his "King in Yellow" persona. The dude has been BUSY these last 10,000 years. He created an alternate dimension and built a planet sized auramite city with multiple captured stars to light it. Has thousands of cloned blanks, reverse daemonhosts AKA Graels (putting blank human soul inside warp matter), armies of WINGED cloned blood angels, full auramite warship fleets in a constant war with the eye of terror, and is creating a lexicon of the language of enuncia. What is he doing? Closing the eye of terror? Trying to bring the emperor back to life? Kill the emperor? More or less every traitor legion is trying to stop him along with 5 eldar craft worlds and multiple inquisitorial warbands. Can't wait for the final book in that series
@@Court_of_Crows560 It's the culmination of both Eisenhorn and Ravenor series in a third trilogy called Bequin. It's a bit convoluted. You have to read Eisenhorn 1-3, Ravenor 1-3, then a connecting novel (the Magos) and finally Bequin series. They're all also audiobooks
@@Fuskox2 I was planning on going into 40k with the Eisenhorn novels as soon as I finish up HH and the Siege of Terra (on Saturnine); so this is a really helpful guide to the "abnettverse". Thank you very much, I'll add those to my audible list. 😀
@@passchen-fail3704 I'm a busy guy and they're so convenient. Listening at work or while working out I can easily go through a 30 hour book in a few days. Something that'd take far longer to find time to sit down and read
The Harlequin thing I think was old lore, when the power level of the Custodes was more akin to a Marine as you stated at the beginning. It doesn't feel like the book was released all that long ago, but it was still old in terms of the Custodes as a faction with a solid lore.
Yea, that book with the bare handed world eater killing a Custodes was one of the worst I've read. It also got events so completely out of order, with word of the Drop Site Massacre reaching Terra BEFORE Magnus screwed the webway project.
@argeltalthecustodiankiller6552 the hater is here spreading the few badly written lore peices and ignoring the hundred plus times of the overpowering lore written on them. You are a joke.
Hello Majorkill, Would you please make some lore videos on the Imperial Truth, the Imperial Creed, the Ecclesiarchy, and the High Lords of Terra? Pretty please? Thank you.
Pretty sure there is an excerpt in plague wars going over the amount of Custodes assigned to Guilliman. It’s like 20ish plus one of their dreadnoughts. The reason it’s that many is because they think that’s how many it would take to kill him if he started acting a bit odd.
@theredditexperience1just human? brother even if he cant shoot lava out of his penis it doesnt mean he isnt one of the strongest living things in the setting, hes a primarch. and i am quite sure all primarchs have psychic abilities even if they dont tap into it, like G man and jagatai he cant trip balls like angron or leman but he is enough to take on multiple custodes and that says something first thing he did after a 10 millenia coma is crush a khornite berserkers head and clear his bedroom of an invasion
It really depends on the writer. In the book the Regens shadow, two minotaurs took down a custodies, while 1 custodie took down a group of primaries in a short story I can't remember the name.
I'm listening to this while painting my Shadowkeeper Custodes 👀 I got the combat patrol and battleforce box at Christmas and now I've been on a huge Custodes binge since.
Classifying Custodians as soldiers is such an understatement. Each of them were meant to be rulers of clusters of planets to manage them since the imperium was getting too big for Big E to handle. They are masters of all aspects of human endeavour.
Let's also not forget that Valdor can finger gun people out of existence like that fun scene from Nemesis! I'm still relatively new to the lore, but I think something else that makes the Custodians so interesting is not only their physical capability but their adeptness at all sorts of other capacities. For example, in the Blood Games short story, you see that the Custodes also operate as a top level intelligence organization and undercover spy agency as well. They seem to be generally far smarter (and wiser) than your garden variety Astartes, and in general have much better personalities. That kind of lends itself to their ability to fight 'separately, but together', their communication and awareness likely dwarfs even that of Astartes.
If there are 1 million space marines and 10,000 custodians, one very experienced custodian should be worth 100 space marines. Which supports the claim that space marines are custodians natural prey. Let me clarify though, it’s more likely that the emperor judges worth not just by battle effectiveness. But all around worth, like a combination of intelligence, and other desirable traits.
The lawnmower 4.0 can still cut you if you dint use the guards and it never says it doesnt cut you just that it reduces the nicks it can give you if used right
Anecdotally speaking, it would prolly take 4 to 5 Custodes to drop a top-tier Primarch like Horace, Johnson, Sanguinius, or Russ. 2 or 3 might be able to take a lower-tier Primarch like Lorgar, Alpharius / Omegon, and maybe Guilliman, or Magnus. This is assuming it’s straight up melee combat.
I can't remember if it is official or fan made but I remember when they revamped the Custodes the line about recruitment was something like "That while one in a million may be capable of becoming an Astartes, only one in a Billion could even hope to become a Custodian."
Your list of Astartes who could handle a Custodian was missing the High King of Fenris, Grimnar the Old Wolf. The guy sprints in terminator battle-plate and casually eats Grey Knights for both first and second breakfast
@majorkill On the subject of a world eater punching through a Custodian, back at the time it was written, custodians wore artificer grade ceramite, as auramite hadn't been introduced into the lore yet.
I always chalk up inconsistencies in Warhammer 40K as different people throughout the galaxy hearing different things. Imagine the same story being told across the galaxy with various accounts and over time and it is easy to see how stories may get dissorted.
As the Talons of the Emperor, the Sisters of Silence use their Blank powers to bind a daemon to this reality, and the Custodes kill it. As in "actually kill it" kill it; with its connection to the Warp severed, the Daemon dies a true death instead of merely being banished. Beyond that, Custodes are a lot more than just Better Than You warriors over the Astartes. Where the Astartes were built for war, the Custodes are the Emperor's personal bodyguards, but also his personal artists, poets, musicians, confidants, diplomats, etc. They are the Ultimate Snowflake Army, as each Custodian is effectively meant to be a character in their own right, each with their own skillset that goes beyond their ability to shoot a gun or swing a sword. They cover a broad range of skills meant to serve the Emperor and Imperium as a whole, be it contributing to the overall culture (such as it is as of the 42nd Millennium) or protecting the Imperial Palace (and by extension, Holy Terra) from all manners of threat and infiltration. These skills of defense are honed in the Blood Games, a series of live exercises where a Custodian will act as an infiltrator, and spend months or even years finding a way to breach the securities of the Imperial Palace and enter the Sanctum Imperialis (should be noted that the Eternity Gate leading to the Throneroom is guarded by two War Titans that have basically been made part of the wall on either side of the doors, and is basically a massive, kilometers-long hallway with little to no cover in between). If the infiltrator wins, then his methods and tactics are reviewed, and the securities of the Palace are refined to address the discovered vulnerabilities. So far no outside forces have ever been able to enter the Sanctum Imperialis. During the War of the Beast, an Aeldari raid managed to get within sight of Eternity Gate before they were mowed down by Custodes, and some time later, a group of heretics tried to bumrush Eternity Gate with some hijacked atmospheric barges, but were also stopped.
Hello Majorkill, great video a always. Could you do a video about the imperial navy, it's ships, and their role, as well as warfare in the void? Thank you!
For anyone wondering, the thumbnail is of captain commander Alexandrius. I commissioned him from the artist Bachzim. Not an actual character unfortunately, I though him up :)
In one of the book about the Indomitus Crusade, the Stratarchis Tribune Colquan, define a force of 34 custodian guard a “world capturing” or “world conquering” (i dont remember right now) force..
Hey, I’m really new to the hobby and am thinking of building a Custodes army. Would you recommend Varnishing your Custodes or leaving them as is considering they’re basically completely metallic paints?
The Eldar Incident has been put down, even by the author himself, as being a mistaken use of Custodes instead of he mortal guards of the Emperor, Lucifer Blacks. So we can call it an outlier like Outcast Dead.
Hello Majorkill, Would you please make some lore videos on the Imperial Truth, the Imperial Creed, the Ecclesiarchy, and the High Lords of Terra? Pretty please? Thank you. (I second this notion)
Shadow keeps are made up of veteran custody’s, they are the custody’s of the custody’s lol. They also are custody’s of the dark cells so it’s even more ironic.
Solitaires, phoenix lords, lelith could all wipe the floor with a basic custodian. An interesting match would be one of these vs someone like ra endymion
Hey majorkill, also a huge custodian fan, but the Tyranid situation went down slightly different, they Survived the fleet and only survived because a space marine fleet of MM drove off the Tyranid splinter fleet.
Hey Majorkill, do you have a video or can you tell how you did the lighting for your shelf in the background? PS: where did you get the Dark Angels helmet? Asking for a friend... 😇
There is an inquisitior book where the Minotaurs have to literally swarm a custodian to take them down, even considering they had brand new power armor. That shit was riveting!

I think the world eater punching a hole through a custodes makes sense taking into account chaos juice defies logic and reason and as such chaos characters can be as powerful as the plot demands
@@SwedishBroManDude It's 40k afterall and pretty much the factions that can go "super sayan" and enforce their will upon reality "because I said so" are: chaos, orks and the necrons from what I've gathered more or less
I think in an attempt to make the Custodes' lore awesome, GW made them too OP to make them good on the tabletop. In-lore they can possibly take on a hive alone.
"During a time period when GW was pushing the sh%t out of space marine models at the expense of literally every other faction." You make it sound like it's still not happening.
No, the Custodes who guard Robooty Guillichad can't beat him, and they're high AF if they really believe they can. In M41 he's become a legit badass and one of the toughest primarchs still around, because he never stops learning and he's always getting better.
I'm sick and tired of people saying that Constantine Valdor beat Horus in a sparring match. It literally never happened. Majorkill even acknowledged that in an older video. Edit: Also, a Grey Knight was described as only fractionally slower than Valerian, Hero of the Lion's Gate and definitely above the average Custodian. They would only be more effective than the Grey Knights with Sisters of Silence, with it even being stated that together it was literally impossible for them to be defeated (although I guess that would be different if they tried to fight a C'tan Shard)
I thought he would've mentioned that short story were the big E teleports Angron aboard his ship and Angron just straight away grabs and rips in half a fully armoured Custodes with his bare hands. There's also a part in one of the dark imperium trilogy were Roboute is fighting traitors and urgle daemons and his custode guard is struggling just to keep up he's moving g and killing that fast. Another tidbit is the custodes are performing two roles in both guarding Roboute as the newly appointed regent but also to act as his executioners if they believe Roboute has plans to take the throne of Terra.Based off those bits I'm not convinced 20 custodes would be enough.I think they'd need around full company at least or even a full on war depending on how many ultramarines successors were yo join him.

For me it makes sense that they are made essentially as physically the same as a Primarch without the warp juice and not built from the ground up like the Primarchs were.
Besides Valdor. He is just built different from being built different.
Imagine your an orc just chillin and suddenly the emperor and 1k custodes appear out of thin air
Sounds like a proper scrap!

Don't the orc just have to believe he can beat them?
Or he could just start thinking "Brass means super kill"
A custodian not realizing he is already doomed when suffering a wound would make him a flawed creation. With that much investment going into every single one of them, the Moment one of them is certain to die or have his function impaired severely and permanently, he MUST immediately switch to a self-sacrificial strategy of combat through which he can hope to save as many other custodians as possible while achieving their objective, at the cost of his live. The realization of doom is a powerful weapon when wielded by one not paralyzed by it.
Iirc it was a lone custodian, who was found standing on top of a mountain of corpses. It was less that he didn’t realize he was basically dead, and more that he found it irrelevant to his task of “hold this area.”
Custodian's are aware that they receive mortal wounds. But they don't let the impending death get to them.
As far as the Custodian's are concerned. Mortal life is meaningless if the Emperors will is not served.
I wish GW had as much faith in this Chapter as you, they seem to shit on it with endless Age of Sigmar releases.
What you just said is easily the dumbest thing I've seen on the internet in weeks and reeks of a limp-wristed peasant who has never even thrown a punch let alone has any functional knowledge of combat. What you described is the absolute last thing they should do.
The Custodes vs the splinter fleet is definitely more a case of Tyranids getting miswritten rather than showing off how strong Custodes are. There's no way an ever adapting foe like the Tyranids, let alone a master tactician like the Swarmlord, would have just mindlessly ran into a choke point... A cool moment for the Custodes, but definitely a blown up feat for them using the bug bois as a sacrifice.
Like many things in Warhammer it's probably a lore version of Gartic Phone.
Because Warhammer lore is so nebulous, and exaggeration so rampant, what *actually* happened is up for debate.
This is why I believe Ciaphas Cain embodies Warhammer lore the most. He's a complete charlatan, but his legend is so great that it forcibly propelled him to greatness.
@@ocek2744 Ill uave to disagree a bit
Cain is definitly no Charletan
He might (At thr time of course) be the greatest Human swordsman in the literal entire Imperium
Or in the Astartes minds, at least the Segmentum
Sure, his plot armor comes in the way of a Blank who saves his ass CONSTANTLY
But hes definitely an absolutr monster in combat, the likes of which overshadows pretty much every human outside of Eversors
Like the other gentlemen here said
A lot of 40k is "Stories"
Like the Harlequins killing the Custodes is a "Story" told by the Eldar
Or the Hive fleet splinter would be a story tols by a Gaurdsman
Everything is Canon
Not everything is true
Still think a Solataire could fuck a custodes up in a 1v1 but not more than one at a time and probably even then be Ethier to tired to fight another or be to injured.
@Adrien Watson "Everything is Canon, not everything is true" *slow clap* that is a boss as hell way to put it!
I always like the idea that the emperor had the custodians to be able to put down a rebellious Primarch without being forced to ask one of his brothers to do it
Well, that makes sense.
Big E always focused on his crusading business, there simply wasn't much time in his schedule to care for those pesky traitors. Hence creating his golden boys to handle those issues would make sense. xD
Didn't the space wolves do that?
That literally diminishes role of Rus, since he is considered the slaughterer of Primarchs and was the main force in erasing forgotten legions from history
Interesting fact: there are multiple cases in human history where someone HAS had part (up to half) there brain destroyed/blown out of there head and kept going. Forget his name but one of the most famous is a gentleman who was working on the railroad and had a 3 inch in diameter six foot long iron bar go through his head. He had some anger issues after but lived an entire life. Someone in the 90s in the US was shot in the head with a magnum during a robbery... he lived.
That would be Phineas Gage you're thinking of
There's also Robert Lawrence, a former British Army officer who served in the Falklands War.
''Lawrence wrote about his experience at the Battle of Mount Tumbledown when, in his moment of victory on the eastern slopes, he was almost killed when a bullet fired by an Argentine sniper tore off the side of his head. He was awarded the Military Cross for bravery, but he spent a year in a wheelchair and was almost totally paralyzed.
Lawrence's wound was caused by a 7.62×51mm round passing through the rear of his skull, to emerge at his hairline above his right eye. He lay on the thin cover of snow on the exposed mountaintop for six hours. Airlifted off Tumbledown, Lawrence was left outside a makeshift operating theatre without painkillers. Two weeks from his 22nd birthday on 14 June, he assumed he was the last to be operated on because he was the least likely to survive causing him to wait 8 hours at the back of the operating queue.''
You can see clips of him on TH-cam on talk shows; you would never know anything had happened to him.
The human body is quite a curious thing.
Phineas Gage
Marines in the opening battles of Iraq kept charging and firing their weapons after taking machine gun fire and losing half their head (literally).
It was one of the reasons so many of their loyalist guard surrendered.
There are also several accounts of it happening during Viet Nam, particularly during the battle for Hamburger Hill.
Now, did they go on like nothing happened? No, usually they fell shortly after -- but the point is they kept doing the last thing their brain ordered their body to do. And when you're shooting someone multiple times and watch their head go poof and they are *STILL* charging you, thaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaats a bit of a mind fuck.
Some of my favorite quotes are from Valerian, the Custodian noting that space marines are there natural prey and seeing his closest too excitement at fighting along side Imperial Fists was a great read, also during the Horus Hersey it took 16 World Eaters to kill one Custodian. The fight was off panel but the Sister of Silence noted that in particular.
What if Custodians like the Astartes thinking they can somehow beat them. The enemy having the perception they are better than you, when they are not, is an advantage in itself.
"When you are strong, appear weak" - Sun Tzu
You know it would make sense if the custodians put out that the Space Marines were better, deception and whatnot I believe it
@@jacobaugustine6249 Nah, the Custodes need to appear to the public as the mythical resplendent god warriors who win every battle no matter the odds.
If they were to just say that Astartes were stronger, that would definitely hurt the morale of humanity, thinking the supposed defenders of the Throne are weaker then the average Space Marine.
@@KarpetBurnit would be a tad difficult but maybe they could ‘leak’ information about how the Custodes aren’t as strong as people think they are to the enemy
It's a myth that Argel Tal was able to stalemate Aquilon in sparring. He got trounced every time and his record was lasting a few minutes.
Also when Aquillon learned of the treachery going on he killed the five high-ranking Word Bearers protecting Lorgar in just 3 seconds, before being sneak-attacked by Argel iirc.
@@tau-5794 That was Vendatha, a warrior from Aquillion’s squad
Literally was just thinking that’s not at all how the book portrayed it and started doubting myself.
Please do a video on current Valdor and speculation on his "King in Yellow" persona. The dude has been BUSY these last 10,000 years. He created an alternate dimension and built a planet sized auramite city with multiple captured stars to light it. Has thousands of cloned blanks, reverse daemonhosts AKA Graels (putting blank human soul inside warp matter), armies of WINGED cloned blood angels, full auramite warship fleets in a constant war with the eye of terror, and is creating a lexicon of the language of enuncia. What is he doing? Closing the eye of terror? Trying to bring the emperor back to life? Kill the emperor? More or less every traitor legion is trying to stop him along with 5 eldar craft worlds and multiple inquisitorial warbands. Can't wait for the final book in that series
Is this the Eisenhorn series?
@@Court_of_Crows560 It's the culmination of both Eisenhorn and Ravenor series in a third trilogy called Bequin. It's a bit convoluted. You have to read Eisenhorn 1-3, Ravenor 1-3, then a connecting novel (the Magos) and finally Bequin series. They're all also audiobooks
@@Fuskox2 I was planning on going into 40k with the Eisenhorn novels as soon as I finish up HH and the Siege of Terra (on Saturnine); so this is a really helpful guide to the "abnettverse". Thank you very much, I'll add those to my audible list. 😀
Bro, wtf? That sounds incredible. I guess I have to buy some audiobooks
@@passchen-fail3704 I'm a busy guy and they're so convenient. Listening at work or while working out I can easily go through a 30 hour book in a few days. Something that'd take far longer to find time to sit down and read
The Harlequin thing I think was old lore, when the power level of the Custodes was more akin to a Marine as you stated at the beginning. It doesn't feel like the book was released all that long ago, but it was still old in terms of the Custodes as a faction with a solid lore.
Yea, that book with the bare handed world eater killing a Custodes was one of the worst I've read. It also got events so completely out of order, with word of the Drop Site Massacre reaching Terra BEFORE Magnus screwed the webway project.
Sounds like they should pull that book then
Just absolutely awful, outcast dead is absolute ass

Custodes got rip apart by gal vorbak

Hello Majorkill,
Would you please make some lore videos on the Imperial Truth, the Imperial Creed, the Ecclesiarchy, and the High Lords of Terra? Pretty please? Thank you.
I second this!

In defense of horus getting stabbed, it was a special sword that is destined to stab anyone its pointed at at by the power of nurgle himself
Pretty sure there is an excerpt in plague wars going over the amount of Custodes assigned to Guilliman. It’s like 20ish plus one of their dreadnoughts. The reason it’s that many is because they think that’s how many it would take to kill him if he started acting a bit odd.
Holy crap, guilliman, one of the weakest primarchs, can take twenty and a dreadnought? That’s awesome.
@@passchen-fail3704 imagine what it would take to kill sanguinuis or vulkan
@theredditexperience1 Combat wise he is on the lower end compared to the other primearchs.
@theredditexperience1 not by sheer talent . But yes, his pecularities make it so it is as if one is fighting against a well oiled dreadnought.
@theredditexperience1just human? brother even if he cant shoot lava out of his penis it doesnt mean he isnt one of the strongest living things in the setting, hes a primarch. and i am quite sure all primarchs have psychic abilities even if they dont tap into it, like G man and jagatai
he cant trip balls like angron or leman but he is enough to take on multiple custodes and that says something
first thing he did after a 10 millenia coma is crush a khornite berserkers head and clear his bedroom of an invasion
Absolutely love your videos I’m glad there’s someone out there just saw the lore how it is but there own way
My reaction to Majorkill not mentioning Kitten
*My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined*
I feel the same
It really depends on the writer. In the book the Regens shadow, two minotaurs took down a custodies, while 1 custodie took down a group of primaries in a short story I can't remember the name.
It can really be said for any facet of 40k lore haha depends on who is writting it 🤷🏻♂️
Awesome that you're backing up Squidmar's Titan Diorama project, I'm so excited to see how it turns out!
I'm listening to this while painting my Shadowkeeper Custodes 👀
I got the combat patrol and battleforce box at Christmas and now I've been on a huge Custodes binge since.
bro got the 10,000pts in one day
@@bestnameever1850 They cost an arm and a leg but it was worth it!
Classifying Custodians as soldiers is such an understatement. Each of them were meant to be rulers of clusters of planets to manage them since the imperium was getting too big for Big E to handle. They are masters of all aspects of human endeavour.
Waking up to seeing a half naked majorkill is crazy
Not that crazy

The answer always is "it depends on what the writers want."
My favourite part is when every few weeks majorkill discovers that he still has stock, calendars etc to sell
He has made enemies with the elves and they are dancing around a publishers office, making more. He needs to put a bowl of milk and honey out.
I wish this man made more videos about custodies and their lore. They are GOOD.
9:32 way to catch me off guard with that awesome quote that i will forever take out of context
Day thirty six of asking majorkill to compare Abaddon and Archaeon
Stay strong brother
Let's also not forget that Valdor can finger gun people out of existence like that fun scene from Nemesis!
I'm still relatively new to the lore, but I think something else that makes the Custodians so interesting is not only their physical capability but their adeptness at all sorts of other capacities. For example, in the Blood Games short story, you see that the Custodes also operate as a top level intelligence organization and undercover spy agency as well. They seem to be generally far smarter (and wiser) than your garden variety Astartes, and in general have much better personalities. That kind of lends itself to their ability to fight 'separately, but together', their communication and awareness likely dwarfs even that of Astartes.
If there are 1 million space marines and 10,000 custodians, one very experienced custodian should be worth 100 space marines. Which supports the claim that space marines are custodians natural prey.
Let me clarify though, it’s more likely that the emperor judges worth not just by battle effectiveness. But all around worth, like a combination of intelligence, and other desirable traits.
"But is all of that just non-sense."
"Yes. Yes, it is. All of 40k lore is just non-sense. Period."
0:13 Please tell me you painted those minis, they look sick but I want to give credit to the right bloke 😂
Yo Majorkill!!! ACTUALLY BRO??? $20,000?!?! Holy shit. I didn’t realize my boy was as stacked like that $$$
The lawnmower 4.0 can still cut you if you dint use the guards and it never says it doesnt cut you just that it reduces the nicks it can give you if used right
Anecdotally speaking, it would prolly take 4 to 5 Custodes to drop a top-tier Primarch like Horace, Johnson, Sanguinius, or Russ. 2 or 3 might be able to take a lower-tier Primarch like Lorgar, Alpharius / Omegon, and maybe Guilliman, or Magnus. This is assuming it’s straight up melee combat.
I can't remember if it is official or fan made but I remember when they revamped the Custodes the line about recruitment was something like "That while one in a million may be capable of becoming an Astartes, only one in a Billion could even hope to become a Custodian."
Your list of Astartes who could handle a Custodian was missing the High King of Fenris, Grimnar the Old Wolf.
The guy sprints in terminator battle-plate and casually eats Grey Knights for both first and second breakfast
What about elevenses? Dinner? Supper?
Kd as well
No, the custodes could not kill a primarch because they have armor made out of the toughest material ever, PLOT. Which basically makes them unkillable
An unarmored Angron ripped one in half with his bare hands..
@majorkill On the subject of a world eater punching through a Custodian, back at the time it was written, custodians wore artificer grade ceramite, as auramite hadn't been introduced into the lore yet.
I don't think this makes it much better.
Nice of Squidmar Miniatures to mention Majorkill in his last Video with the Warlordtitan Diorama

I always chalk up inconsistencies in Warhammer 40K as different people throughout the galaxy hearing different things. Imagine the same story being told across the galaxy with various accounts and over time and it is easy to see how stories may get dissorted.
I love how consistent your ads are, I can always skip over them with ease.
As the Talons of the Emperor, the Sisters of Silence use their Blank powers to bind a daemon to this reality, and the Custodes kill it. As in "actually kill it" kill it; with its connection to the Warp severed, the Daemon dies a true death instead of merely being banished.
Beyond that, Custodes are a lot more than just Better Than You warriors over the Astartes. Where the Astartes were built for war, the Custodes are the Emperor's personal bodyguards, but also his personal artists, poets, musicians, confidants, diplomats, etc. They are the Ultimate Snowflake Army, as each Custodian is effectively meant to be a character in their own right, each with their own skillset that goes beyond their ability to shoot a gun or swing a sword. They cover a broad range of skills meant to serve the Emperor and Imperium as a whole, be it contributing to the overall culture (such as it is as of the 42nd Millennium) or protecting the Imperial Palace (and by extension, Holy Terra) from all manners of threat and infiltration.
These skills of defense are honed in the Blood Games, a series of live exercises where a Custodian will act as an infiltrator, and spend months or even years finding a way to breach the securities of the Imperial Palace and enter the Sanctum Imperialis (should be noted that the Eternity Gate leading to the Throneroom is guarded by two War Titans that have basically been made part of the wall on either side of the doors, and is basically a massive, kilometers-long hallway with little to no cover in between). If the infiltrator wins, then his methods and tactics are reviewed, and the securities of the Palace are refined to address the discovered vulnerabilities.
So far no outside forces have ever been able to enter the Sanctum Imperialis. During the War of the Beast, an Aeldari raid managed to get within sight of Eternity Gate before they were mowed down by Custodes, and some time later, a group of heretics tried to bumrush Eternity Gate with some hijacked atmospheric barges, but were also stopped.
It's always good to see Majordaddy in Custodian aesthetic.

Lord Kitten is back in his Custodies Cosplay. The Might Golden Kitty.
Great work my dude.
In one of the book about the Indomitus Crusade, the Stratarchis Tribune Colquan, define a force of 34 custodian guard a “world capturing” or “world conquering” (i dont remember right now) force..
Hey, I’m really new to the hobby and am thinking of building a Custodes army. Would you recommend Varnishing your Custodes or leaving them as is considering they’re basically completely metallic paints?
Well the malnourished one ain't killing no primarch.
Sly Marbo can take down a Primarch. Multiple at once.
The Eldar Incident has been put down, even by the author himself, as being a mistaken use of Custodes instead of he mortal guards of the Emperor, Lucifer Blacks. So we can call it an outlier like Outcast Dead.

Majorkill Being the average Custodes enjoyer against the average chaos fans.

Drazhar: "Allow me to introduce myself."
Solitaires, phoenix lords, lelith could all wipe the floor with a basic custodian. An interesting match would be one of these vs someone like ra endymion
Hey majorkill, also a huge custodian fan, but the Tyranid situation went down slightly different, they Survived the fleet and only survived because a space marine fleet of MM drove off the Tyranid splinter fleet.

"During a time period when GW was pushing the sh%t out of space marine models at the expense of literally every other faction." You make it sound like it's still not happening.

Amazing vod like always !!

My guy, just imagine the absolute blender that must have been the Custodes on the top of that volcano. What a sight to see.
No, the Custodes who guard Robooty Guillichad can't beat him, and they're high AF if they really believe they can. In M41 he's become a legit badass and one of the toughest primarchs still around, because he never stops learning and he's always getting better.
That bolter stick looks like it'll snap so easily lol. Great vid though man you're awesome!
I'm sick and tired of people saying that Constantine Valdor beat Horus in a sparring match. It literally never happened. Majorkill even acknowledged that in an older video.
Edit: Also, a Grey Knight was described as only fractionally slower than Valerian, Hero of the Lion's Gate and definitely above the average Custodian. They would only be more effective than the Grey Knights with Sisters of Silence, with it even being stated that together it was literally impossible for them to be defeated (although I guess that would be different if they tried to fight a C'tan Shard)
Custodes crap on Grey Knights
great vid majorkill
Watching this video again and trying to picture these absolute bad asses as women 😂😂 kill me now
I thought he would've mentioned that short story were the big E teleports Angron aboard his ship and Angron just straight away grabs and rips in half a fully armoured Custodes with his bare hands. There's also a part in one of the dark imperium trilogy were Roboute is fighting traitors and urgle daemons and his custode guard is struggling just to keep up he's moving g and killing that fast. Another tidbit is the custodes are performing two roles in both guarding Roboute as the newly appointed regent but also to act as his executioners if they believe Roboute has plans to take the throne of Terra.Based off those bits I'm not convinced 20 custodes would be enough.I think they'd need around full company at least or even a full on war depending on how many ultramarines successors were yo join him.
