The Ork one made me smile a bit. To quote an Ork player in the comments section of another video, pitting an army of Orks against Custodes on tabletop is the most un-fun way to play 40k. The Custodes' universal 2+ saves, their high invulnerable saves (4+ or better) and other situational bonuses make them functionally immune to Orks at range (due to Ork armies' very low ranged hit percentages and weapons with low - or no - armor penetration), and ALL of the Custodes' units are absolute beasts in melee even before you count the melee bonuses they can get from their Martial Ka'tah ability or their Martial Mastery detachment ability. The poor guy said that the best he could manage to do is camp out on Objective markers and throw all his Boyz into the Golden meat-grinder in the hopes of slowing them down enough to win by victory points.

There are a number of rubbish BL writers. Some who care nothing for lore like C.S. Goto. Others who have a hard time with writing good pacing. If memory serves Horus Rising suffered from that particular problem. ABD can write good characters the problem (aside from his personal politics if that's your thing) is that he doesn't write particularly good villains. Potential spoilers for folks how haven't read the Nightlords Trilogy/Omnibus. Stop reading here if you care. So the main cast are mostly Nightlords right. Murderers and the like. Cold blooded killers whose only route to ascension is typically either your predecessor dies in battle or you fight them in a duel for their position. The idea is planted in our minds that the MC Talos has friction points in his squad, some who want his position, some who think he is weak. And the times when he is wounded and vulnerable do any of his potentially traitorous fellows take advantage of it? No. Not once. The only point of treachery that comes out is near the end of the trilogy and it isn't even a betrayal of Talos.. The Nightlords are supposed to be pitiless murders with little to no bonds of loyalty. Yet they demonstrate being a close-knit almost military squad. Don't get me wrong I like most of the characters. But that blue balling of internal strife that is supposed to be the calling card of a Chaos Warband and Nightlords in hindsight is painful.
Eldrad didn’t bother telling the Harlequins about the throne, presumably to get back at them for the classic slapstick they regularly put him through. As for massacring the custodian guard. They kept shouting "we come in peace" people would try to kill them, they would retaliate, continue loop.
In a way, I can understand why the Thunder Warriors were used instead of Custodes. Not just meaning the numbers or techno things. But simply Custode dying off to attrition or the occasional random thing happening. Even if they would've been succesful and very effective, a lot of them just dies due to random battlefield things.
Probably because Space Marines are usually pretty independant but cannot dismiss Custodes orders like they're use to. When you have a lot of pride, it's hard to be bossed around without the possibility to even talk back.

The first guys maintain containment on, and seek to capture for the purposes of containment, things dangerous to the galaxy at large, especially things originating from the Dark Age of Technology. Usually they fit in with the other "bum around on Terra" types, but occasionally are sent out to confirm or capture some doohicky. The other guys are the ones who act on psychic visions that any of the more respected psykers in the Imperium have. Say some psyker has a vision of an Admech Magos happening to be in the right place at the right time to intercept and disable a Necron doomsday device that is going to bowl through some key Imperial sectors. A few of these guys are going to go out and try to find this guy, and keep him alive and on track to do whatever it is he's supposed to do; sometimes from the shadows, sometimes overtly. They may also run counter prophecy duty, in a similar manner. These are the custodes most likely to be encountered outside the Sol system, along with the handful that are dispatched for supremely high priority milk runs and the like. If the Tau were going to run into any Custodian, it would be one of these. There's also the pretty much unwritten, but honestly kinda defacto duty of Sister of Silence escorts. If there's some real bad demonic stuff going on somewhere, the Sisters of Silence are the best answer to the issue, and the Custodian bodyguards are insurance they don't get caught up fighting Orks or being turned into armor paint when the Grey Knights show up to do a worse job or something. This isn't exactly well defined, since it's newer material that isn't Primarch wank or related to Cawl's new and easily trademarkable meat toasters, so, bucket of salt and whatnot. Chuck it in the bin along with the Votann as a faction, I guess?
One scene I love from Godblight in the Dark Imperium books, one of the Custodes with Guilliman, the Custodian Tribune Maldovar Colquan, fought a Death Guard Champion. It was brief but epic, with the Custodian finding a worthy opponent for better showing off his skills. Plus a bit of trivia: a Custodian Tribune is one of ten veteran Custodes that acts as Trajann Valoris's advisors and are the second highest authority of the Custodes.

I want GW to release a brand of 40K condoms. They can have the different sizes range from emperor to custodes to space marine to guardsman. The slogan naturally being the emperor protects.
Surely the guardsman one would be bigger than the space marine and/or Custodian ones? Seeing as how all the supersoldiers are made sterile on purpose by the Big E. Having relationships or even children would just be taking their minds off waging war (for the Astartes) or off protecting the Emperor (for the Custodes).
Always wondered how the custodes were around other factions since i kept getting either the harlequin or "custodes sit around the throne all day so probs no interaction" ans. Especially surprised by the dark eldar one
They sometimes have to head off to do very specific secret missions for the emperor. The Dark Eldar one is from a book where a bunch of inquisition go to a moon to meet up with some Custodes at a beacon, but when they arrive the Custodes are gone and the beacon is covered in blood and Drukhari tech. The inquisition then deems the Custodes "unrecoverable"
video idea: Could the entirety of the Adeptus Custodes beat each of the imperial subfactions? like: all Custodes vs all SMs/Inquisition/Navy/ Ecclesiarch
Spoiler: no Like sure Custodes kick ass but even assuming they win on the ground (which is doubtful for most factions), SMs, Admech, Inquisition and so on have huge navies. The Custodes have ships but very few relatively speaking
Respect on how many vid’s yer uploading and all the other projects u got goin. Manage a store and play one of yer vid’s almost every morning while I’m doin inventory

So there would be no need for the culling at isthvaan and weakening of the traitor forces.. this would be very intresting to see what all the effects would be on the succes of the heresy.
@Majorkill don't know how you keep from getting burnt out on 40K but props and thanks for providing awesome content, even when you may not feel up to it or just want a break.
Clarification: The story about Harlequins killing Custodes was from the book "The Beast Arises, Book 5 - Throneworld" by Guy Haley. The problem with this scene ist the simple fact that it was written before the first Custodes Codex dropped, so there hadn't really been any infos on how powerful the Custodes actually are. We just knew that they're more powerful than the Astartes, but not by how much or in what way. Guy Haley assumed that Custodes were basically on par with elite Terminators, so to speak. Combined with the fact that the Harlequins fielded a Shadowseer and a Death Jester equiped with a Shrieker Cannon, this story didn't feel as much "bullshitty" as it does today, now that we know of what Custodes are truly capable of. It's just that the plan of the Harlequins was endlessly dumb. Usually Guy Haley is one of the better Black Library writers, but Throneworld is definately not his best work and that Custodes Codex didn't help him at all in this regard.
I feel it is very important I say that I am really happy that, via Imperial Agents, at least Imperium factions can finally field requisitioned Deathwatch Marines, Grey Knights Terminators, or Sisters, and I get that some people don't appreciate that, or feel it unfair how Chaos and Xenos don't get as many, but it's a little bit too bad that the literal best bodyguards in the galaxy can't field that way, and protect other high-value targets, like Leontus, or Guilliman. I do think it would be fun, though, to see a really talented Custodes player go up against a good Ork player, or World Eaters, to see how well they cladh against other majorly- melee lists.
Fabius has indeed made creations from the stock of custodian material. In 8th edition during the war of the spider when creations of bile was introduced, there was an enhancement you could give any of your HQ units which made them a twisted custode.
My biggest problem with the Harlequins vs Custodians thing is that the Harlequins aren't even remotely close to being that strong on the tabletop. An Eldar super-elite force a la Custodes would be cool though...
Orks : Nearly extinct, so possibly regressed to tribal/feral state Eldar/DEldar/Harlequinn : Mourning humanity's supposed "Extinction" while also trying to get the best deal for them out of it. Necrons : Sleeping Tyrannids : Didn't knew of Milky Way T'au : Banging rocks together in their stone age
My head canon for the harlequins attack on the custodies is that it was like 3 solitaires or equivalent against a single custodian. Given the custodian’s were younger in this case they got their asses handed to them while the older more experienced custodies ripped through the harlequins like wet tissue paper. Basically, they massively outnumbered the younger custodians and dog piled them.
@@FrenkieWest32Imagine a space marine by 10 times smarter, stronger, and with the absolute best gear in the galaxy. The only real way to beat one would be hitting them with heavy weapons or being a primarch. Of course, since they are the biggest guys, many writers want to use their deaths to show how powerful their own characters are.
@sheeplord4976 1 they're not 10 times smarter or stronger. You just kind of made that up. 2 regular space marines aren't nearly the strongest in the universe so why would only primarchs beat them exactly? 3 the whole idea that a character can only be killed by a stronger character rather than stuff like being outnumbered, being trapped, being outgunned, making a mistake, etc. makes no sense. 4 no, worf happens to the avatar, the swarmlord, greater demons, demon primarchs, etc. Not to custodes. Trying to describe a whole faction as unkillable or unbeatable is exactly the delusion of custodes fans. A necron overlord should slice through a 100 custodes like butter if we took all the lore seriously but that's not how 40k works.
Here's an idea for a Custodian: he get infected by a genestealer cult but turns his connection against the patriarch and uses it to start hunting down genestealer cults
Considering the new lore, I think referring to the Custodes as your favorite “guys n’ gal” is rather appropriate, since I suspect the proportion of Female to Male within the Custodians is similar to the proportion of males and females who watch your videos
Corrections: Leontus wasn't -guarded- by the Custodes. The Norm Emissary jumped toward Leontus and the Custodes, who were on their way to extract/protect Leontus managed to intercept it in the last second before it landed on Leontus. In addition to that, Leontus isn't a "high ranking general"; he's the Lord Commander of Segmentum Solar, which is the second highest position in the Imperial Guard and they only answer to the Lord Commander Militant (which regularly has a seat among the high lords on Terra and deals mostly with the bureaucraty and politics) and have pretty much full autonomy on what they do in their segmentum. Lord Commander Militant > Lord Commander > Lord General Militant > Lord General > General.
In gate of bones the custodes cut thru iron warriors like grass and the one chaos marine basically has to fill himself with so much warp energy...that he will basically die...just to stop 2 of them
Nope, astartes are paid in accolades, rank, and access to better gear. Space Marines, usually being rounded up forcefully during prepubescence to be turned into super soldiers, are essentially enslaved to their respective chapters for life. By extension, they are enslaved to the Imperium as a whole, they just possess more limited freedom than many other imperial factions.
Of course! In return for eternal service, they are paid the most handsome reward the Imperium has to offer. The opportunity to slaughter heretics and xeno scum. And/or get slaughtered by heretics and xeno scum.
What if the Emperor wasn’t able to reach Nuceria in time to prevent Angron dying from the High Riders? How would having one less available Primarch affect the heresy with more lopsided sides? What would happen to the War Hounds? What would happen to Nuceria? Who do you think would go to Khorne?
I think you've missed one crucial point: out of all the chaos marines, it would seem that the Alpha Legion is the most familiar with Custodes - what with Alpharius having a personal rivalry with Constantin Valdor and supposedly being the source of the Blood Games. At the same time, I don't recall any major engagments between the two - my guess being either that because of this familiarity, they know their usual tricks wouldn't work and avoid them like the plague, or that in their agenda of purging the Imperium of its weak links, they have no reason to interact with the golden bois to begin with - implying that out of all of Imperium, Custodes are the only part that's perfect as it is. Also, all the above is a lie.
They definitely need to figure something out with the power scaling of Eldar. It’s entirely believable they have things that can match or better the fruits of the Selenar gene cults but make it make sense
I wonder would the custodes send some sort of emissary or ambassador to the leagues of votann considering there not as zelous and blindly hating as most of humanity. Surely they could see the votann as means to an end to fight the greater threats to the imperium (Tyranids, chaos and orks)

(that is, until Magnus broke the carefully constructed human webway of Emperor's actual main project (to move most of human's integral planetary systems into webway then proceed to shield most of humans while improving the starvation plan of chaos gods, this on top of Drach'nyen appearing in the broken Emperor's webway also doesn't helped the main project that got thrown into ruination either, Emperor is explicitly saying that he doesn't know what to do the moment his webway got broken and all of his foresight just thrown into his own despair, hence why Drach'nyen have metaphysical significance of capable of ruining his mortal form/physical body)
I want GW to release a brand of 40K condoms. They can have the different sizes range from emperor to custodes to space marine to guardsman. The slogan naturally being the emperor protects.
The 'Bolter', the 'Autogun', the 'Multimelta' 😂
Surely the guardsman one would be bigger than the space marine and/or Custodian ones? Seeing as how all the supersoldiers are made sterile on purpose by the Big E. Having relationships or even children would just be taking their minds off waging war (for the Astartes) or off protecting the Emperor (for the Custodes).
The only problem is that 99% of 40k fans have no use for condoms 😭

nice.
What if you quit asking for what if nonsense?
Leagues of Votann: fuck you! Give me your keys!
Always wondered how the custodes were around other factions since i kept getting either the harlequin or "custodes sit around the throne all day so probs no interaction" ans. Especially surprised by the dark eldar one
They sometimes have to head off to do very specific secret missions for the emperor.
The Dark Eldar one is from a book where a bunch of inquisition go to a moon to meet up with some Custodes at a beacon, but when they arrive the Custodes are gone and the beacon is covered in blood and Drukhari tech. The inquisition then deems the Custodes "unrecoverable"
video idea: Could the entirety of the Adeptus Custodes beat each of the imperial subfactions? like: all Custodes vs all SMs/Inquisition/Navy/ Ecclesiarch
They would technically lose to the inquisiton, as even custodes gotta eat, and inquisiton is not above pulling strings to starve out Terra.
Spoiler: no
Like sure Custodes kick ass but even assuming they win on the ground (which is doubtful for most factions), SMs, Admech, Inquisition and so on have huge navies. The Custodes have ships but very few relatively speaking
@@KCUFyoufordoxingme Do custodians eat...?
@@xanmontes8715Yes, but them make plenty of corpses too so that problem solves itself.
Please make a video about Tau Navy and their battles, @MajorKill. The Exodite mini show got me interested in that topic.
I hope GW releases more info on the Old Ones one day, I want to know them individually by name and personality..
Respect on how many vid’s yer uploading and all the other projects u got goin. Manage a store and play one of yer vid’s almost every morning while I’m doin inventory
Video on the the iron snakes would slap
A video about, what if there were no loyalist elements in the traitor legions ,this would also count for omegon and magnus. So there would be no need for the culling at isthvaan and weakening of the traitor forces.. this would be very intresting to see what all the effects would be on the succes of the heresy.
The Imperium would be screwed.
Reaction of every primarch to the death or disappereance of other primarchs
Guilliman was really sad that Ferrus died.
Video on custodes vs solitaires would be cool
I'm surprised the Eldar aren't good with the Custodes, you know both liking pointy hats.
To be fair the Harlequin and Custodes fight was old lore when Custodes were little more than slightly better space marines.
Not quite that old though.
@Majorkill don't know how you keep from getting burnt out on 40K but props and thanks for providing awesome content, even when you may not feel up to it or just want a break.
Harlequinns use Banana Boys as practice, before the hard work of opening a crisp packet or chocolate bar with finnicky foil.
Let's goooooo!!! My video idea is here 😁! Thanks!
Next up: Schola progenium explained.
Clarification:
The story about Harlequins killing Custodes was from the book "The Beast Arises, Book 5 - Throneworld" by Guy Haley. The problem with this scene ist the simple fact that it was written before the first Custodes Codex dropped, so there hadn't really been any infos on how powerful the Custodes actually are. We just knew that they're more powerful than the Astartes, but not by how much or in what way.
Guy Haley assumed that Custodes were basically on par with elite Terminators, so to speak. Combined with the fact that the Harlequins fielded a Shadowseer and a Death Jester equiped with a Shrieker Cannon, this story didn't feel as much "bullshitty" as it does today, now that we know of what Custodes are truly capable of.
It's just that the plan of the Harlequins was endlessly dumb. Usually Guy Haley is one of the better Black Library writers, but Throneworld is definately not his best work and that Custodes Codex didn't help him at all in this regard.
YES, YES, YES, TEN THOUSAND times YES! I've been waiting for this episode for so long
I feel it is very important I say that I am really happy that, via Imperial Agents, at least Imperium factions can finally field requisitioned Deathwatch Marines, Grey Knights Terminators, or Sisters, and I get that some people don't appreciate that, or feel it unfair how Chaos and Xenos don't get as many, but it's a little bit too bad that the literal best bodyguards in the galaxy can't field that way, and protect other high-value targets, like Leontus, or Guilliman. I do think it would be fun, though, to see a really talented Custodes player go up against a good Ork player, or World Eaters, to see how well they cladh against other majorly- melee lists.
Finally the video I been looking forward to.
Fabius has indeed made creations from the stock of custodian material. In 8th edition during the war of the spider when creations of bile was introduced, there was an enhancement you could give any of your HQ units which made them a twisted custode.
Does anybody notice that the last living "Oldones" from 40K was the hypnotoad from Futurama?
Hello Majorkill,
Would you kindly make some lore videos on the Imperial Truth, the Imperial Creed, the Ecclesiarchy? Pretty please? Thank you.
I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS MAN
0:38 like having surgery.
My biggest problem with the Harlequins vs Custodians thing is that the Harlequins aren't even remotely close to being that strong on the tabletop. An Eldar super-elite force a la Custodes would be cool though...
the picture with the harlequins dancing in the palace in front of the custodes 😂😂😂 i lost it
hey majorkill i love your vids man! i just bought ra and auriel and i cant wait to paint them! keep it up and remember, custodes are the best!!!!
I would love to know all of the psyker disciplines out there, and maybe cool examples of it put to good use.
I find the fact that meeting a custodes is as close to meeting the emperor and thus cultist see the error of their ways oddly wholesome
Can you do one about the Sisters of Silence and some of the cool stuff they get upto ?
What were the other races doing during the heresy?
Orks : Nearly extinct, so possibly regressed to tribal/feral state
Eldar/DEldar/Harlequinn : Mourning humanity's supposed "Extinction" while also trying to get the best deal for them out of it.
Necrons : Sleeping
Tyrannids : Didn't knew of Milky Way
T'au : Banging rocks together in their stone age
Taus before scratch the armor of a custode:
We deadly injuried his God Emperor
6:26 Nah, we killed plenty of animals as a species but I am not going to bareknuckle fight a bear.
Tau fighting updated astartes. "She kinda thicc tho"
A vid about Every time the Inquisition clashed against the Loyalist Legions would be great
My head canon for the harlequins attack on the custodies is that it was like 3 solitaires or equivalent against a single custodian. Given the custodian’s were younger in this case they got their asses handed to them while the older more experienced custodies ripped through the harlequins like wet tissue paper. Basically, they massively outnumbered the younger custodians and dog piled them.
And why doe custodes always need to be stronger than everyone else?
@@FrenkieWest32Imagine a space marine by 10 times smarter, stronger, and with the absolute best gear in the galaxy. The only real way to beat one would be hitting them with heavy weapons or being a primarch. Of course, since they are the biggest guys, many writers want to use their deaths to show how powerful their own characters are.
@@FrenkieWest32Because they’re overpowered?
@ThatGuyWithNoLife you've got the order of causation reversed there mate.
@sheeplord4976 1 they're not 10 times smarter or stronger. You just kind of made that up. 2 regular space marines aren't nearly the strongest in the universe so why would only primarchs beat them exactly? 3 the whole idea that a character can only be killed by a stronger character rather than stuff like being outnumbered, being trapped, being outgunned, making a mistake, etc. makes no sense. 4 no, worf happens to the avatar, the swarmlord, greater demons, demon primarchs, etc. Not to custodes. Trying to describe a whole faction as unkillable or unbeatable is exactly the delusion of custodes fans. A necron overlord should slice through a 100 custodes like butter if we took all the lore seriously but that's not how 40k works.
Stopping kids from saying "first".
Uno-st
Are you tho?
First to say first on this post.
Thank you
Buddy your barely 10th tf you mean
Future idea: host a Warhammer q&a where you address some common questions from the fandom (I have many)
4:16 I'm pretty sure the writer also came out and said that was a mistake.
He never did. Thats a reddit rumour with no source.
That drawing of the custodes pointing at the dancing harlequins lmfao
Video idea "top 10 one liners in 40k"
Would be nice to hear about the inquisition's view on the custodes.
I had to watch the video a second time after the image with the breakdancing harlequins i couldn't hear anything over the laugh i had😂
There’s so few of them that there’s probably less then 1,000 survivors that have lived after fighting them
Video idea "what if the tyranids invaded during the horus heresy"
Here's an idea for a Custodian: he get infected by a genestealer cult but turns his connection against the patriarch and uses it to start hunting down genestealer cults
I was waiting for this
I hate to sound like a fanboy, but you're the kind of guy I'd love to meet and talk Warhammer with with. You just seem like a real and solid cat.
Considering the new lore, I think referring to the Custodes as your favorite “guys n’ gal” is rather appropriate, since I suspect the proportion of Female to Male within the Custodians is similar to the proportion of males and females who watch your videos
Thanks Manscaped
A vid on how each faction would deal with the flood?
Never ask "that" part of Adeptus Custodes what event caused the Daemons of the Blood God appear right on Terra.
I liked it better when they couldnt make more custodian's, made them seem really rare and unreplaceable
Corrections:
Leontus wasn't -guarded- by the Custodes. The Norm Emissary jumped toward Leontus and the Custodes, who were on their way to extract/protect Leontus managed to intercept it in the last second before it landed on Leontus.
In addition to that, Leontus isn't a "high ranking general"; he's the Lord Commander of Segmentum Solar, which is the second highest position in the Imperial Guard and they only answer to the Lord Commander Militant (which regularly has a seat among the high lords on Terra and deals mostly with the bureaucraty and politics) and have pretty much full autonomy on what they do in their segmentum. Lord Commander Militant > Lord Commander > Lord General Militant > Lord General > General.
Holy shit didn’t we just hit 600k?? We’re 621k rn! Hell yeah
In gate of bones the custodes cut thru iron warriors like grass and the one chaos marine basically has to fill himself with so much warp energy...that he will basically die...just to stop 2 of them
I was just thinking.. do space marines get paid? If so who gets paid the best and how does that compare to other factions?
Nope, astartes are paid in accolades, rank, and access to better gear. Space Marines, usually
being rounded up forcefully during prepubescence to be turned into super soldiers, are essentially enslaved to their respective chapters for life. By extension, they are enslaved to the Imperium as a whole, they just possess more limited freedom than many other imperial factions.
Of course! In return for eternal service, they are paid the most handsome reward the Imperium has to offer.
The opportunity to slaughter heretics and xeno scum.
And/or get slaughtered by heretics and xeno scum.
some really good video ideas are an update on whats currently happening in the warhammer 40k setting right now
What if the Emperor wasn’t able to reach Nuceria in time to prevent Angron dying from the High Riders? How would having one less available Primarch affect the heresy with more lopsided sides? What would happen to the War Hounds? What would happen to Nuceria? Who do you think would go to Khorne?
I think you've missed one crucial point: out of all the chaos marines, it would seem that the Alpha Legion is the most familiar with Custodes - what with Alpharius having a personal rivalry with Constantin Valdor and supposedly being the source of the Blood Games. At the same time, I don't recall any major engagments between the two - my guess being either that because of this familiarity, they know their usual tricks wouldn't work and avoid them like the plague, or that in their agenda of purging the Imperium of its weak links, they have no reason to interact with the golden bois to begin with - implying that out of all of Imperium, Custodes are the only part that's perfect as it is.
Also, all the above is a lie.
We need more information about the Old Ones from GW imo...
Good Video, keep it up.
Please can you do a 'What do the imperium think of each faction' video?
Could you maybe talk about techmarines sometime?
I love the Reddit face meme not understanding that the harlequins bust it down
05:17 we can always retcon this shit out of existence because of the mental gymnastics needed
They definitely need to figure something out with the power scaling of Eldar. It’s entirely believable they have things that can match or better the fruits of the Selenar gene cults but make it make sense
But that's the problem bro they aren't space marines
Can you imagine seeing Henron Cavillius the Custodes protecting the Emperor from Eldar
Custodes are a lot less intimidating now that I know that they were just Big-E's personal joy-girls and boy-toys.
When’s the manscaping tutorial coming out?
THE COUNTDOWN CONTINUES 5 TO G0!!!!
Attempt number 95: what if the Primarchs were found in order of their creation.
Join me my brothers!!!
Thats actually interesting
Hmm
I suppose lion would've been made warmaster?
But its a bit hard to factor in the two missing primarchs tho isn't it?
I wonder would the custodes send some sort of emissary or ambassador to the leagues of votann considering there not as zelous and blindly hating as most of humanity. Surely they could see the votann as means to an end to fight the greater threats to the imperium (Tyranids, chaos and orks)
Right off the bat, a gold boy in the dark.
you should do a video on crestia
Always remember, named custodes are much, much different from unnamed custodes.
Tyranids n custodians r my favourite, the angron or nurgles my second.
