"Not then for the Legio Custodes the pattern of surgical grafting and organ implantation that creates a Space Marine, no such crudities
of augmentation at all mar the Custodian; what creates them is as invisible as it is potent, worked upon the core genetics and at a deep cellular level, and perhaps tailored to each specific inductee. There are those who insist that so invisible and yet so powerful this process is that it crosses over into a metaphysical realm ofbiomancy and psychic manipulation on a level unguessed at. Given that it is said that the Emperor Himself has overseen the creation of every single Custodian Guard who has ever lived, this may well be true.
The peerless warriors who then result from this arcane process are a rare breed indeed, and not to be squandered recklessly on the battlefield. They were created with a single purpose in mind; to be the Emperor's own elite guard. They were a force created both to defend the Emperor from physical harm wherever the Great Crusade might take Him, to stand watch over His private domains and most guarded secrets, and to serve as the direct agents of His will-as His personal emissaries-be that will to protect, to venture, to claim, to keep secret, or to execute without remorse."

Sauce?

>whats that, we're releasing more shit?
>oh, well obviously the emporer had some even MORE secret guards that have even COOLER augmentations than the stormtroopers, and they're about 1000x more powerful than them.
>oh, and they're more powerful than that new chapter of secret guards we introduced in the last splatbook who were forged in the middle of a sun and absorbed all its energy in the process, that was cool but its time to sell more minis guys

Custodes have been part of the fluff since Rogue Trader. Are you literally retarded?

Still inferior to Ultramarines.

To be fair, in RT they were just a human honor guard.

But on that note Spess Mehreens were basically bad ass space cops.

Too late. It was a Hill-team. GW have ran with your idea and are even now producing figures of the elite Hill-team.

I hope you are happy with yourself

this is like the third time i've seen someone call RT space marines space cops. are you the same guy that just goes around cop-posting?

>The infamous duo, Hank Hill and Bobby Hill form Hill Team.

Fags with 0 combat xp

And if you are so old say something about this fucked up imperium

>The hill team

Watch out for that old arch militant , he killed fiddy orks

>>52375473
>Zero combat xp

I mean, if fighting each other and, very occasionally, the Assassinorum in things like the Blood Games don't count as xp, sure. They still rip Marines to pieces pretty easily, though.

>Say something about this fucked up Imperium

Like what? The Imperium has always done what it had to do in order to survive, it's by no means a perfect system but nobody until now had the ability to change it without resulting in Humanity falling. If the Imperial Creed or Inquisition didn't exist, everyone would be Chaos's plaything right now, for example.

Space Marines borrowed more heavily from judge dredd originally and in addition to being the Imperiums shock troops were their instrument of civilian oppression, a role eventually taken over by the Arbites as the Space Marines became more like Saudakaur
