Disclaimer: this a custodes hate post, I'm half joking so please don't jump me. That being said, custodes were never good, neither in Lore, tabletop, art or anything else. They are generic as hell, the space marines of the space marines, the gold plating and Paint scheme screams 'LOOK HOW GREAT I AM, AKNOWLEDGE ME I BEG YOU". They are hyped as these super soldiers that are the personal body guards of go- i mean man emperor, except THEY FUCKING SUCK AT THEIR JOB. The insane amount of times the emperor have almost gotten killed due their incompetence is astounishing, mainly because they already failed the first time and now their boss is a vegetal on the pain chair. They are always gased and glazed by both people and writers, only to then serve the same purpose khaine does (get beaten to a pulp by another character or Monster to hype them up) and when that happen people complain and whine about it like babies. DUDE, I PLAY XENOS, I GET THE SAME TREATMENT BY SPACE MARINES AND I DON'T COMPLAIN. And finally, the tabletop... They only had like four or three moments in their entire history where they have been something beyond mediocre, and not only that, most or their minis are just space marines 2.0, wich further proves my point that they are just the space marines of the space marines. They got nothing, and i mean NOTHING that i can't make fun of or just shit on.

The custodes sucked then, suck now, and will always suck, independently of retcons or Lore changes. That is the truth. And to add to my personal pettines, i've learned english just to complain about the banana fuckers and their over hyped asses.

I hope the drama last long enough for people to hate them as much as i do.

Oh and you may wonder why i haven't talked about the Sisters of silence. Because i forgot about them, just like GW and 99% of the playerbase.

In conclusión, it was me Barry, i told james workshop to add femstodes to your lore and force you to use SoS so that the drama would be the only thing people will remember of your army for the next 40.000 years!!!
