Is there any source material that states how powerful the custodes are in comparison to other imperial troops? Such as height, implants (nature or number) physical strength, training. Also what about equipment? Just wanting to know.
The original 1st edition Warhammer 40k (Rogue Trader) has a profile for a member of the Adeptus Custodes, which is:- M4 WS5 BS5 S4 T4 W2 I5 A2 Ld8 Int8 CL8 WP8 Putting this in context, a 'normal' Space Marine in the same book has a profile of:- M4 W S4 BS4 S4 T3 W1 I4 A1 Ld8 Int8 CL8 WP8 and a marine 'champion' (no real equivalent in the newer systems, but perhaps a veteran sergeant or terminator) has a profile of: M4 WS5 BS5 S4 T3 W1 I5 A1 Ld8 Int8 CL8 WP8 So an 'average' member of the custodes has a profile that is better than a veteran space marine. In fact, the profile is only a little worse than a a Marine 'minor hero' in the same system, the modern in-game equivalent being probably a space marine captain. So the game designer's intention from the start was clearly to create a force even more elite than the space marines, a totally logical premise given that the custodes are the emperor's personal bodyguards.
As for equipment, in the 1st ed WH40k, they are described as wearing leather breeches and boots with a long black cloak over a naked torso, together with a high, pointed helmet. There is a picture of one, too, which rather amusingly creates the overall impression of a gay stormtrooper. They were armed with weapons that resemble spears, but were in fact lasguns. Clearly, the visual image was highly influenced by the Royal Guard from star wars. The Custodes evolved substantially during the course of the mammoth Horus Heresy project, and now have a far more striking (and, perhaps regrettably for those of us who like a laugh, slightly less gay) image.
They are now presented as wearing incredibly ornate gold power armour of a different design to the Space Marines. The power armour is of a similar shape, but retains the high, conical helmet, and is often worn with red cloaks. The Custodes retain spear-like weapons, but now they are combi powerblade/bolters a bit like the Nemesis force weapons of the Grey Knights. The Custodes appear to have a similar range of support weapons to a space marine chapter, having access to Terminator armor and even Dreadnoughts.
My favourite image from the whole Horus Heresy book is of a gold Custodes dreadnought tearing into a bunch of Black Legion traitors. The 'fluff' (background) for the custodes remains relatively scant, but they are clearly genetically altered supersoldiers similar to (but, crucially different in many key ways) the marines. They do not appear to have a Primarch, and many sources state that their 'base' genetic template was harvested from the Emperor's own genes. They are stated to be larger and stronger than space marines, and also appear to predate them. There is much fan speculation about them. Many link them to the Grey Knights, another elite force with a similar weapons layout and mysterious absence of a Primarch, and some speculate that the Grey Knights are created in the same way as the Custodes (though I personally don't believe this.) My take on them is that they were an early, and successful, template for the project which created the space marines. They were retained by the emperor as a personal bodyguard while he went forward with the final version of the marines.
I speculate that the Custodes were regarded as in some way imperfect by the Emperor: if he HAD regarded them as perfect, he would have made all space marines like them; but he didn't do this. This hints to me that perhaps there was something unsustainable about the Custodes as a military force on the scale of the Space Marines.
I speculate that their physical size and strength hints at them being a 'high maintenance' force unsuitable for sustained campaigning. Perhaps they need special medical treatment to retain their fighting edge, while the marines don't. Best korean dramas. This paragraph is all my speculation, by the way, there's no source for this! There's a short story in Tales of Heresy which features a couple of Custodes as the protagonists. They are explicitly stated to resemble Space Marines but that a fight between a Custodes and an Astartes could only end with the Custodes winning. It's hinted that Custodes were deliberately designed differently to Astartes, being more independent and without a need for bonds on Brotherhood. I'm not certain if it's also stated that they require more work to create but that might explain why the Emperor didn't make every space marine as tough as a Custodes.
There's a scene in False Gods which features a Custodes guarding the Primarchs on Terra while they are still in their gestation pods (before they are scattered throughout the galaxy by the forces of Chaos). I think this indicates that the Custodes were created before the Astartes (am I right in the thought that the Astartes were created by the Emperor from the remaining genecode of the primarchs after he lost the primarchs or am I misremembering my canon here?) So yeah, as far as I can gather: The Custodes are a prototype for the Astartes, and like most prototypes in 40K they're actually better than the final product because they're older. First a caveat, I don't play the WH40K minis game, but I do play Dark Heresy, and I love a lot of the game fluff material that predates DH. I think the best sources for information about the Adeptus Custodes are: the short story Blood Games by Dan Abnett in the collection Tales of the Heresy; and the Inquisition War books (mostly the first, Draco) by Ian Watson. There's probably good stuff in the Horus Heresy Artbooks, but I freely admit I haven't read them.
I don't think there's any imperfection or flaw in the Custodes. The Custodes simply weren't 'mass-produced' the way the Astartes were. Each Custodian was more of an individual investment by the Emperor, and as a result they have more individuality than most Astartes. It was probably only feasible for him to do this with the Custodians because he didn't need hundreds of thousands of them, but the Astartes simply could not be made the same way because their mission calls for a much, much larger force.
That the Astartes are lesser than the Custodes in individual size and strength is a natural result of their being mass produced. The Custodes probably also benefit from spending a lot of time in the actual presence of the Emperor. Prior to his confinement in the Golden Throne, they would've heard his words directly from his own mouth, fought alongside him, etc.
It's probably fair to say they picked up a few things along the way from Papa. And even afterwards, there's decent evidence that the Emperor can still communicate directly with them.
In particular, I refer to the actions of the Custodes during the Age of Apostasy in dealing with Goge Vandire and the Brides of the Emperor. In Blood Games, we see that the Custodes are highly trained in assassination, infiltration, and stealth in order to be able to foil plots against the Emperor's life. There's also a good indication that the Custodes get some political/etiquette instruction that you wouldn't expect in an Astartes. From what i have read the Custodes are less a fighting force then the astartes they are more social adapted and a lot more learned in non-combat ways. Also it was hinted somewhere they were also trainedin the art of assassination ( but how a 3meter colossos of a man can used for a sielnt sneak -in is beneath me).
Because they are just that awesome. I seem to remember that the assassination training is mainly so that the Custodes know how to counter assassination attempts.
I also recall a bit of fluff where it was a Custodes who turned the Brides of the Emperor into the Sisters of Battle and ended the Age of Apostesy. After Rheist recommended Blood Games by Dan Abnett, I actually went out and bought tales of the heresy. I like the Custodes, and I like Abnett, so I thought I'd give it a try. All good stuff!
What's interesting (without giving away too many spoilers) is that the Custodes appear to have been pretty much the Emperor's political intelligence unit, responsible for keeping an eye on the Machiavellian intrigues of the Terran court, and for manipulating high level Terran nobles for the Emperor's own ends. I'd always kind of regarded the Custodes as a pretty faceless, reactive force, but Blood Games portrays them as a far more devious organisation.
In fact, it made me wonder about their post-heresy role. Are they JUST bodyguards.or are they secretly running the Imperium? Sounds like a silly idea, until you think it through.
They militarily control Terra completely. (The Imperial Fists left the planet a while back.) They have constant access to the Emperor. In the past they've broken the powerbase of even the most powerful tyrants, like Gorge Vandire. Blood Games shows them to be a highly politically active force behind the scenes on Terra, who spy on all major figures on the planet.
I think there's an argument that they're the REAL power in the Imperium. There's a great sci-fi political novel ( a la Dune) to be written about the Terran court, I reckon.
My impression of them was that they were the template used for the Primarchs but were more pure than the Primarchs and not truly the Emperors sons. So I would stat them as a Primarch only with better gear. Barefoot I would put them between 7.5-9 feet tall and weighing in around 800- 1000 pounds of killing machine muscle. Stats in the 50’s across the board, maybe not fellowship. Unnatural Strength and Toughness x3 and Willpower x2. Wounds in the -40-60 range. I would think they might function along the lines of the Praetorian Guard in Rome.
The Praetorians were the power behind the Roman Emperors and if the guard wasn’t happy you might find a blade between your ribs. They were known to have ended a few careers when they were unhappy with the way things were going.

The Praetorians were the power behind the Roman Emperors and if the guard wasn’t happy you might find a blade between your ribs. They were known to have ended a few careers when they were unhappy with the way things were going. I wouldn't put them anywhere NEAR the power level of a Primarch. A Primarch is off the scale for anything capable of being statted for Dark Heresy. They're walking plot devices.
I'd put Custodes at 8-8.5 feet tall (on the assumption that a marine is about 7.5-8 feet tall) and more massive than a marine. I'd stat them as 60+ for most things, with a whole host of unique powers and abilities.
I agree with the unnnatural strength. In Blood Games an unarmed Custodes easily kills three armed quasi-orgyns. Weirdly, I think their fellowship wouldn't be much lower, as they're clearly capable of deception and diplomacy. I agree with the whole Praetorian thing, though the Roman Praetorians were a pretty venal and corruptible body, who (especially in the latter part of the Roman Empire) would do things like auction the title of Emperor to the highest bidder. I think the Custodes are less corruptible, but proabbly meddle in politics just as much.just more subtly.
They're in between a Primarch and an Astartes hero in terms of outright fighting ability. There's a scene in Blood Games where 2 Custodes face down 6 Imperial Fists and Rogal Dorn. They don't actually end up fighting each other, but the distinct implication of the scene is that the opposing groups are close to being evenly matched. The Custodes were drawn from the first genetically and psychologically modified warriors ever created by the Emperor during the wars of Terran unification. They definitely predate the Primarchs, but whether or not they served as templates for them is unclear.
Adeptus Astartes Chapters
And while I am enjoying this discussion, I find it hard to imagine Custodes (or Astartes) being in a DH campaign as anything other than NPCs who aren't involved in action with the PCs. You'd have to be very clever indeed to think of a reason why a Custodes would be anywhere other than Terra in the first place. I'm not saying it's not doable since they certainly used to leave Terra on envoy missions, but it's definitely got to be about as rare an occurrence as a Monodominant and a Xanthite agreeing on the right way to handle something.
As far as their stats go, why bother? Try this instead: If any mortal human (including the PCs and their Inquisitor) tried to fight a Custodes, they would die. No need to roll dice. No need to look at a chart. Acolytes and Inquisitors are still just mortal humans, after all.

Space Marines
They can't fight Custodes or even Astartes and have even so much as a prayer of surviving under normal circumstances. If a Greater Demon of Chaos shows up, the Custodian probably loses in a one-on-one. But that doesn't sound like a DH game to me. Fellowship I was looking at as a penalty of the “Oh god, oh god, the giant is going to eat me!” variety. They very well may have lots of training to account for the inherent terror a creature/human of that size would cause in people. As for the Primarchs being a walking plot device I agree. So is a Custodes.
As for being off the scale, no. I think you can make a good set of stats for a Primarch, they just come with the “I win, I’m a Primarch” button.
I would see a Primarch as being on average15 points higher in stats across the board from a normal SM with Unnatural Intelligence and Willpower x2 and maybe Fellowship, or give them some kind of Aura of Greatness or some such opposite of fear. Then they have the emo, daddy doesn’t love me ‘cause I’m different than X Primarch trait and a special feature. Wings, metal hands, blue and white sick inserted up rectum, Psi/Sorcery, fur fetish, etc.
As for size I am in the camp of a SM is a little more than a head taller than a big human but not out of the range of a big human with this going up the line. There is more than enough fluff that a has a lot of SM looking their Primarchs in the eye. The Emperor, I would place in the 9’ range, slightly taller than the biggest of the Primarchs.
Which, to me, puts the Custodes in the Primarch size category. According to the fluff in The Horus Heresy: Collected Visions:.Each Custodian is an awesome warrior, stronger and more resilient than a normal human, or even a space marine. They are without peer in battle and have an unshakeable devotion and loyalty to the person of the Emperor. Although they do not appear to have any psychic powers of their own, their willpower is such that they can resist assaults from the most powerful of psykers, save perhaps the Emperor himself. Though reputedly only a thousand of these elite warriors were reckoned to exist during the times of the Horus Heresy attachments of the Legio Custodes accompanied several of the loyalist chapters of the Adeptus Astartes (e.g. Alongside the Space Wolves against the Thousand Sons on Prospero after the Thousand Sons were declared heretics/traitors), as well as independently and preventing daemonic incursions from the warpgate below the Golden Throne.
Whilst active during the Age of Strife and the Horus Heresy they were equipped with the best arms and armour, typically ornately decorated gold heavy power armour and a Guardian spear with a built in laser gun, with ceremonial red cloaks. Following the Emperor's ascendence to the Golden Throne the Legio Custodes abandoned all armour and replaced the ceremonial red with black. They wore leather breeches with black cloaks, the torso naked. The only armour being an all-enclosed tall helmet which made them threatening. After the Horus Heresy they never leave tterra, rarely setting foot outside the imperial palace.Saying that, might be an interesting concept if the acolytes become aware of a long thought space hulk dating back to the Horus Heresy appears in which members of both sides of the heresy became trapped and died (Ghosts of Heresy?), amidst which was a member of the Custodian Guard who fell in order to prevent an ancient evil from escaping. Have to think about that.
Iirc just as the astartes are created from the genetic material of that legions primarch,the custodes were created from the genetic material of the emperor himself. That's not as I recall it, and quite far from the truth anyway. Technically, all Astartes are made from the genetic material of the Emperor, as he made the Primarchs using his own genetics as a baseline. The Custodes, however, pre-date the Primarch project (Constantin Valdor, the leader of the Custodes, served the Emperor in that capacity when the Primarchs were still embryos in the Emperor's laboratories), and could be more properly considered the very finest examples of genetically-augmented humans (that is, starting from a normal human baseline and augmenting it individually, rather than the less labour-intensive methods used to create the Astartes), and the final development of the Emperor's enhanced warriors from the Reunification of Terra. They'd thus be conceptual predecessors to the Primarchs (who were the next stage in the Emperor's experiments with genetic engineering - 20 prototype superhumans created entirely from his own genetics), rather than being 'Space Marines, but from the Emperor rather than a Primarch', which doesn't make a great deal of sense within the timeline (as the methods for creating the Astartes were developed after the Primarchs were lost, using left-over genetic material from the Primarch Project to create the first geneseed). Most of the items mentioned in this thread are detailed in the 40k online Lexicanum. As for a member of the Custodes leaving Terra it is within the realms of possibility just very unlikely without a good back story.
I might imagine one single Custode might leave to deal with an errant noble house in some way. The problem with this is why wouldn't the Custodes use one of the 100 other methods with dealing with the problem. I vote for can be used but get the reason behind why they are away from Terra 100% nailed down.
Space Marine Character Space Marine Character Creation The rules are for creating Space Marines are for Ultramarines and their successor chapters. As time goes on more chapters will be added to reflect their nature better. Certain Chapters have lost gene-seed while others suffer from malfunctioning gene-seed.
In the interest of presenting a more accurate depiction of Space Marines it has been deemed to constrain ourselves with the rules for only Ultramarines at this point in time. All Space Marine characters are created as normal following the rules presented in Dark Heresy. Their basic stats are all rolled as per Dark Heresy, but Space Marines must have a minimum of 30 in the following characteristics: Weapon Skill or Ballistic Skill, Strength, and Toughness. What makes Marines different from normal humans is the implants they receive.
All Space Marines will start with all the implants associated, but they must spend experience in order to activate the organ. Implants will be allowed to be purchased at certain ranks and a Marine must have bought all of the implants in order to progress to the Marine Rank.
Neophytes will have available the following implants for activation: Secondary Heart, Ossmodula, Biscopea, Haemastamen, Larraman's Organ, and Catalepsean Node. Scouts will have available the following implants for activation: Preomnor, Omophagea, Multi-lung, Occulobe, Lyman's Ear, and Sus-an Membrane. Brother Scouts will have available the following implants for activation: Melanochrome, Oolitic Kidney, Neuroglottis, Mucranoid, Betcher's Gland, Progenoids, and Black Carapace. Due the relatively low cost of the implants there will be a trade off for a chance that a critical hit will destroy the implant. Once the implant is destroyed the Marine no longer gains the benefit for the talent. The only implants not affected by this are the Ossmodula, Biscopea, and the Progenoids.
