Adeptus Custodes were the Emperor’s, first children in Warhammer 40K and perhaps also his strongest.

As a Warcraft fan, I really like Warhammer 40k lore
Yes I’m first!
Acco plz try to play Warhammer 40k Dawn of War 1 – original part
Haven't seen it yet, but my favorite faction, LETS GOO!
To be more precise, a single regular Custodian can be about as powerful as a Chapter Master. And the Captain General can be so powerful that nothing less than a Primarch could pose as an actual challenge to him.
The Custodes and the Grey Knights have one thing in common: they got the Aegis. It shields them from warp corruption.
I can’t recommend the Books with these folks in them enough. The Valdor short story with the thunder warriors was great.
Bunch of wimps.
The reason why the Lion can't make for a good Warmaster is because he's not much of a people person. He lacks the charisma that Horus, or even his old friend Luther has. Sanguinius would have been for a fine candidate imo other than Horus because he at least is good at showing empathy to even the most flawed of his sons.
12:00 Valdor did win the first sparring match with Dorn but after that Dorn won every time.
I dont like it when you play while "reacting"… You seem super interested and it rubs off.
Custodes were made before the Thunder Warriors.
It's a shame Boldermort didn't change the pictures when talking about the different shield hosts. As they look very different. Shadow Keepers wearing black armour instead of gold / Solar watch wearing white Armour / Aquilan shield wearing purple capes, plooms etc instead of red. All of his pics were basically Emperors Chosen types ( The main colours )
How much are people donating to get you to watch a youtube vid. I wanna recommend baldermorts sisters of battle video.
Also by the sounds of it, you reacted to his Night Lords video. When will that one be uploaded?
Constantin Valdor beat the crap out of Horus(not 100% on Horus anymore) and Dorn in a duel. Horus at this time in the story was one of the most skilled combatants among the Primarchs third only to the me and Sanguinius.
But Valdor was a Primarch in all but name, and was the most trusted confidant of the Emperor second to Malcador.
The human who stepped between Horus and Big-E was Ollanius Pious who is in fact a perpetual older than Big-E and he is Big-E's oldest friend. His actual name is Ollanius Perrson, Ollanius Pious was a monicer created by the Eclesiarchy to inspire people.
Custodes always sent strike teams to eliminate threats to the emperor. Just read about Dread host.
Its very rare for a full gown adult to move turned into a Astartes. Ithe oldsr the boy, the higher risk of issues (see Lemanw Russes comoanions)
During the Great Crusade they could start making boys space Marines as late as 15 or 16 years old(source Descent of Angels, the Dark Angels characters Zahariel and Nemiel where 15 when it started).
Note during the heGreat Crusade the Emperor as a favour to his sons used his sciences to alter members of the Orimarchs adoptive families into something close but it truly an Astartes. These "Pseudo/False" Astartes I Clyde Luther of the Dark Angels(the Lions adoptive father) and Kor Pharon of the Word Bearers(Mother's adoptive Father)
Generally by the time over Guillimans return the average age is between 9-11 years old for becoming a Aspirant to one of the chapters
WHEN YOU WILL START watching "AMBER KING" content? His last episode was about Adeptus Custodes.
I wonder what Accolonn would think about the Deathkorp of Krieg, he should check out Arch's vid on them when he gets a chance.
yep he's under rated as fuck. it's part of the reason I recommend his videos to anyone new to 40k.
Man you HAVE to check out oculus imperia!
On the too perfect thing : it's insisted on in their lore, they are crazy expensive to the imperium, from biological creation to wargear maintenance. Also their perfection is acceptable because they are few and made to be perfect so you can wrap your head around the idea, guilliman and the ultramarines are too perfect (imo) because they consistently pull of things they shoudn't be able to and with minimum casualties. In my experience with the books, the custodian are generaly well written, suffering losses during their operations and all
as you says man baldermort been super underrated and every time anyone sees his content i am always more happy and enjoyed by the same fun it is to listen to his work
Someone here mentioned the following channel, and I have to echo them: THE AMBER KING. Hal does character focused videos, but his work is masterful! and he just did one for Constantin Valdosta.
Please react to “The Goff Rocker – ‘Ere We Go!” from the official Warhammer YouTube Channel
There's a difference between the Custodes and Ultramarines brand of "Perfect" and why people hate the blue smurfs but are fine with the golden gods.
The Custodes are perfect because they are designed to be perfect, are rarely used save for the most dire circumstances.
The Ultramarines are "perfect" because they are written to be Mary Sues for the longest time. Because a certain writer see that Chapter as his personal self-insert OC and gave them all the ridiculous feats and plot armors, with sticks up their asses as they lecture everyone about the Codex Astartes that they think can do no wrong. And of course them being the overused poster boys of GW whenever they advertise anything 40K related.
People have mellow out somewhat for the smurfs nowadays because they are better written. But as you can see with the Primaris introduction that they are still very much being unfairly favored, being the center of attention for the entire franchise still.
smh that chat just throws headcanon and unproven assumptions out at any possible opportunity
So, the Custodes was the first gene-enhanced army of the Emperor, but since he had to manually create each ones it took decades for each warrior. The Thunder Warriors and later Astartes, are instead able to be "mass produced" by comparison, and without the Emperor personally overseeing the creation process of each individuall marine.
You need to react to his Imperial Fist video it’s perfect
MAH BOIS THE GREATEST CREATION OF DA EMPERORC DA GOLFEN BOIS also they dont worship the emeperor as a god they see him as a dad or a brother they can talk too
even if wars ends if the galaxy finally have peace the custode is still useful as teachers scholars and diplomats
24:00 u cant rush perfection soo he could have plans of making more but he ded now
thete is a reason why sisters of silece work with custode they are the anti warp guards
he didnt say this in a video but a custode can sneak pass an entire army and kill their leader while in their golden suit of armour this is why the dark ravens i belive is a space marine chapter of stealth cna be stealthy with full suit of power armour
The most succinct description for the custodes I've read said that the custodes are to the emperor as what the Astarte's are to the primarchs.
I miss old custodes. They were broken and shattered. They stood side by side and helped the emperor create the imperium and then watched as everything they stood and dedicated their life to was torn down around them. And they became relegated to merely guarding the husk of the person who they dedicated their entire being to.
Beings who would stand side by side through decades of war can barely stand in his presence any more as the psychic screams from the golden throne turn the armour 300 companions who are constantly rotated out of the throne room itself burned black from just trying to stay in his presence.
They viewed the primarchs as failed sons, defective products and such no longer worthy to inherit the empire they were the ones to forge. And were just dedicated to fulfilling their last oath of staying by the emperors side.
And then the dumb Smurf somehow got the custodes to follow him and completely change their mentality….
Ollanius Pius is my favorite character in Warhammer by far. True hero with very interesting lore in the Horus heresy series.
Here is an example of how OP the Custodes are: in one of books depicting them, they were blocking enemy fire by going full on anime character on them and blocking it with their blades! (I don’t remember if they were cutting bolt, las or auto-gun fire.)
