They still fight in squads and are even better together since they complement each other even with no communication iirc.

[Solon]

I love that the custodes are so OP the Emperium marks any war with involvement of even a single custodes as won before the battle takes place.

"If a hundred Astartes can't get the job done. Then send one Custodes to finish it."

[ryanrose]

My momma says it's cuz they have all them teef but no toof brush.

Unfortunately, these banana boys almost never went out from the Imperial Palace before the Indomitus Crusade. Imagine how many wars can be solved quickly and less costly with their help.

[JerichoYeet]

Out of 90 of a hundred per cent of the Custodian guard.
The ten per cent we all know of as the Emperor's caretakers.
Or what we like to call then
*_FABULOUS-BANANA-BOIS_*

"Oi kuld take em!"

-Warboss Billy the Boasty. He could not take them.

Wasnt one of the first custodes test being able to handle and comprehend all imperium lore?

[MrDarkweaver]

None of the Custodes are human children that are modified. Each of them is individually created from scratch using genetic material taken from several sources, primarily the Emperor.

The reason there are so few is that this process is incredibly difficult, and expensive to create even a single Custodian. One of the unique genetic gifts they have is a gene similar to that of Pariahs or Blanks, which means that psychic/warp effects are much better resisted and overcome.

Another reason why there are relatively so few Custodies is that much of their wargear is unique techonology which is beyond expensive to replicate and reproduce, and the knowledge of how to do so, is only available to those within the Custodes Project deep within the vaults of Terra.

Each Custodian is a 100% unique whole creation from scratch, with incredibly powerful and unique weapons and armour, each one of which would cost in terms of resources and man power more that it would to create an each new Chapter of Space Marines.

I love the quote from Valdor: Birth of the Imperium from a soldier who said he saw them kick over a tank and then followed it by saying “it’s not even fair”

[Ddnmddnn]

They are hercules, they are Achilles, they are all known hero compare to space marine which are Legion/Unit

[AbhisarRawat]

Each Custodian has almost the strength level of a Named chapter master (a little less maybe)
20 Custodian with a correct strategy and gear can kill almost any primarch

[stevenbaker]

Considering the amount of people one per thousand is actually reasonable to undergo in large numbers. Also no Golden Boy has fallen to chaos.

[vitaliyred]

They are so special because they failed at everything. They got turned into a joke by the author for plot. The recent lore part were they get mindcontroled and the survives killed themselves, since they attacked the big E. They get hyped-up so bad,

[chatongarou]

The Custodians aren't upgraded Astartes, Astartes are downgraded Custodians. I love the Custodians for that, as they are pieces of art, each and every one of them is one of the Emperor's greatest works, surpassed only by the Primarchs themselves. They are the peak of humanity (Primarchs aren't really humans at this point, as their father isn't either)

[eragons]

Meanwhile the grey knights get one outa millions

[Raddosseuss]

u forgot the most important thing, the custodes are the 100% sons of the emperor not like the primachs that are 50% emperor sons

[robertgraham]

It’s said in the books that space marines are like a wolf pack Versus the custodians which basically lions

[Szminsky]

The latest siege of terra book put some new light on the Custodes. They’re not so invincible and incorruptible as you might think…

[azir]

You need to see the Custodes as more than the Emperor's bodyguards or greatest warriors.
Granted... Their martial prowess is astonishing but
They were meant to be more than that
They were meant to be his companions
