[fufufu]

I don't know who's dumber the demons who risked their lives assulting the imperial palace or the fact that an army of demons think they can go against 1 Custode?

[notthealphalegion.]

Ah the custodian guard, so majestic. So efficient. So golden. So well lubricated... So muscular... So- oh! For the love of the warp! *GIMMIE! GIMMIE! GIMMIE!*

4:50-5:00....Give those guys some PHDs because that's some serious brain power for giant armored potato chips

[Rhymael]

How's this "Eyes of the Emperor" thing even work?

Imperial Governor: So I hear your gods can make me even more powerful?
Chaos Cultist: SHHHH! Not so loud! And not here. Meet me over there, by that slouching tiny-headed nine-foot hulk, where no one will overhear!

[infernojones]

[justfeelingirie]

[darkhighwayman]

Seeing the Custodes and the Sisters fighting would have to be wonderous to see

[parkermaisterra]

All you anyone really needs to know about the custodians is that they are *fabulous!*

[okolepuka]

Video series idea: Going through each black library wh40k book title/horus heresy outline plot with spoilers and rate.

[aeterna]

[thenutella]

"Who are the custodes?" They are Alpharius.

[barrybend]

They're the Janitors that clean Chaos from Terra.

[Auberone]

Love the vid Remleiz, but you ought to call Robby G what he is: Lord Commander of the Imperium and Imperial Regent (to whom we all bow now!)

[Nihillus]

Next make us a video about the realm of Ultramar, and why everyone who loses a game of Poker is to be sent there!

[sergeantvedara]

I just recently got to watch a movie 'Event Horizon'. It was funny to think how well that could have fit the 40K universe.
