THE ADEPTUS CUSTODES - WRATH OF THE EMPEROR | Warhammer 40,000 Lore/History 

Welcome Sleep Club members for this lengthy overview of the Emperor's Custodes - and also for those who have immediately dived on in to the comments before even beginning the video Please LIKE for Lord ALGO the Destroyer

In the grim darkness of the far future, there is only blackrock

Being a member of the sleep club I can say I enjoyed the first 10-15 minutes of this video

The idea of 9 foot tall demigods going out among the grimdark drudgery of the galaxy to do anything "covertly" as the eyes of the emperor never fails to make me chuckle.

Hard to believe such an important position as the captain-general of the custodes is fulfilled by a man named "Kitten"

Rogal meets his first Custodes. Hello, I'm Dorn "Welcome Rogal Dorn, I'm... *Three Hours Later It's pleasure to meet you. "

You should add the 10,000 Custodes to your 40K number problem video. There's no way that 10,000 individuals can adequately patrol a continent sized complex in addition to working as jailors, the Emperor's personal body guard, fighting off daemons in the web way, and sending war parties out into the galaxy. There has to be at least 10x that number and the Custodes only ever say there are 10,000 of them so that the High Lords of Terra don't perceive them as threats.

This episode of the Luetin sleep club is brought you by : GOLD

I've only followed 40k lore for about 2yrs now and I don't think Valdor will betray the emperor. I always think of the very beginning of Valdor: Birth of the Imperium. The conversation the emperor has with Valdor when he first wakes up has always been on my mind. The convo is vague. He tells Valdor to ask any question because in the days to come information and data is all he'll be able to give him. "There's no such think as a free lunch" "you pay a price for all things and this is mine" "I will become less than human... and more" "with one bargain you become stronger, you make another you become weaker." "It applies to mortals, it applies to gods, not that I intend to become one." And then the emperor ask if Valdor understands the reason for the grand bargain and if he finds it unworthy while asking him to speak freely. Valdor says "infinite power can't be overcome because we're finite, limited by law... so deception" "you will cheat them, you will cheat all of them and us" "a risky strategy, but there are no others" and he doesn't find the emperors plan unworthy. I honestly think it's the most important piece of lore with regards to the future 40k could be heading, although GW could always change things. I guess what I'm getting at is that Valdor knew all of the plans of the emperor, just as Malcador knew. The deception could lead to the emperor gaining power on the scale of the chaos gods, but he's not going to try and become one. But just cause he's not going to try doesn't mean its not a likely possibility. Valdor was in on the true deception and it's overall scale so I don't think betrayal is possible. One of my fav books. I'd honestly like to know what everyone else thinks. I've not had a chance to bring this up with anyone and I've not seen the convo in the book referenced anywhere on the internet.

Any baseline human who's seen a Grey Knight has also likely seen something that would make a Grey Knight kill them without batting an eyelid.

Bless the lore master and his balls to release this at this time.

Ha. Doge. He didn't think we'd notice. But we did.

Hold fast my golden brothers, the next data slate will make our army not shit I swear

Luetin sneakily plotting the whole female custodes drama so it happens as hes finishing his custodes video (this one will make numbers)

These races, factions and subfactions vids are my favorites. WH40k has interested me ever since I was a teenager, but the amount of lore was too overwhelming for me to ever consider diving deep into it. The pleasure I've got out of listening to your vids is astounding. Thanks so much.

Bought a pizza and come home to a new Leutin?! Thank you good sir for brightening a poor day

Oh boy, i went straight to the comments on this one😂.

I like to imagine the only way a Custodes could do “spy” work being a 80 ft tall brick shit-house is if they painted themselves green and started talking like they have brain damage to infiltrate Orks.

Wait, wait, wait, you said "PERMANENT Servitor conversion". There's TEMPORARY Servitor conversion!?

"In regards to Lutin's content, there has *always* been a Custodians video, since the first of the RU-vid algorithms were created.”

90 minute Luetin vid on a cool subject....yep that's a good night listen...maybe a double-header...

I am so excited to listen to this 2-3x in the next two weeks.

This couldn’t have been dropped at a better time.

My first thought upon seeing the title was “This is gonna be a spicy meatball.”

I can't even imagine how dangerous a custodian terminator would be...

This is pure gold. Thank you Luetin.

Leutin: And when the Custodes adopted this weapon, it symbolized the end of tyranny on Terra. Also Leutin: the custodes used these weapons to ensure everyone bent to the Emperor's wishes Great job as always! Keep it up!

Emperor's light, custodes lore. I needed this long form, thank you sir.

1:16:21 Doge detected deploying heresy hammer

I JUST went looking for this video a few hours before it was uploaded and thought "damn, Luetin hasn't done a video on the Custodes yet?"

The scene with Valdor and Ushotan locked in battle is one of my favorite scenes in 40k. "I pity you. What more can he take from you, valdor?" "... nothing." *kills ushotan* Chills every time.

Top quality video as per usual. Props to the GOAT that is Luetin09! mad respect

Bro, the community is so lucky to have you…… just saying.

MALCADOR, pretty please

Thank you ,Luetin. Your depth and dedication continue to inspire.

The EP you've all been waiting for!!

SONS! ok i like the vid. very good very good

Realistically, a space marine is something out of a nightmare. Custodes are on a level that is hard to comprehend. Side note: Orks probably have mad respect for the Custodes. Dem' Goold Humiez can really fight!

I have been waiting for a Custodes video for almost 2 years now. Seeing this on my recommended gave me goosebumps

Thank you for keeping us entertained forevermore Brother Luetin.

High iterator Luetin, thank you for this

I know it's probably obvious to other people, but the fact that the 13th Black Crusade brought back the Primarch of the 13th Legion only just twigged. That's some nice story connecting there, even in the undercurrents.

Ive been waiting for so goddamn long for this video, I am so ready to watch this

God i've been waiting so long for this video from you. I love it

Ah I see that the four gods (and maybe Algo aswell) has blessed me with a perfect night sleep.

Can we get a video for the brothers of silence?

Perfect timing. Literally just had an urge to deep dive custodes!

My favorite army with my favorite Lore channel. Golden.

Luetin, the only youtube channel i watch religiously

Hail! The Lore Master returns.

Ive subbed to this channel a few months ago, but never got around to watching any of the videos yet. I kind of had this sub as a bookmark for when I got free time. I finally got some this Memorial Weekend and have been watching videos..... I am having SO much fun. Thank you Luetin. I LOVE 40K lore. I dont play the tabletop, I just love the UNIVERSE and the history behind it.

Thank you for keeping it long ❤

bless this man and to hell with the new lore. saving up to buy 3d printer, keep up the work man. I go to sleep watching your videos

Henry Cavil in here just salivating

I was looking forward to this one so much I didn't even fall asleep watching it.

i haven’t been able to have a good nights sleep in ages, thank the emperor you are back luetin

I was literally saying to myself 5 days ago, "he has no custodes video?"" stoked to see this!

Have a nice evening luetin

Excellent video as always Luetin, thank you.

I’ve been waiting for this for so long! ❤

It's great day anytime LT drops a vid!

I'm leaving a comment before finishing the video. BOOYAH

i really enjoy your 40k lore videos.Keep up the good work!

I'm a lapsed WH40k fan who wasn't entirely sure they remembered what the Custodes were when this recent business came about. Thanks for putting something like this together for reference.

YEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS YYYYYYYEEEEESSSSSSSSS BEEN WAITING 5 YEARS FOR THIS YYYYYYYYYEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

I wish GW would expand the Dankanatoi better. They feel strange being a "chamber" rather than a "Shield Host". Their name translates roughly into the "bite", and it feels strange that GW is not trying to link things from HH to 40K for an organization that has vastly remained the same for 10,000 years.

Well, this video couldn't have come at a better time!

01:25:55 - the implication of Nurgle in this artwork is hilarious. Very good.^^

We applaud you Luetin09. Sticking to the known lore and giving us the face of The Sons of Holy Terra, Chosen Guardians and Custodians of The Emperor.

Misericorde. It was used by knights from Poland, England, Germany, and Persia to deliver an act of mercy, death to heavily wounded, defeated enemy.

Soo happy.. iv been hanging out for this ever since you mentioned it in your last video!!! .. now I can sleep

Thank you so much for ure great content! Been listening to you for years, and I find it to be a good use of my time.

Praise be to Space King!

Shit, I was about to go to bed right now. It is 1:21 am, now I gotta stay up for 1:30 hours XD

Only just pressed play but had to vent my excitement. Let’s goooo! 💛

Excellent as always

Are there any books/short stories from the perspective or at least following an Eye of the Emperor? They seem really interesting acting like ultra-rogue traders or something and it would be cool to see what they get up to. *Thinking about it I guess that’s kind of what Valdor has been doing.

Another Leutin video to bring my day a ray of the Empereor's light. In Leutin we trust and sleep.

60,000 views in 10 hours.. Damn mate, pretty impressive! I've been waiting for the Custodes video for ages!!

Ah yes, my favorite faction, the Adaptis Costoads

In the grim darkness of the 41st millennium, there is only retconn.

Excellent video, as always.

Thank you for another video!

Thank you!!! Take me away for 1hr 30min Luetin. Been a rough week and even my escapes are not enough lately. 😥

Whoop whoop, was looking forward to a Custodes video

IM SO EXCITED TO WATCH THIS VIDEO

i cant wait to use an army of terribly balanced golden dishwashers

About to board a plane. Checked one more time. Got to download this for the flight. Thanks again for your work.

Hell yeah. Here be some algorithm juice, Loremaster. You kill it every damn time

glad to see your take on all of this cause these past couple of weeks for warhammer all the youtubers are creating videos on either the sisters of silence or custodes. Man if only TTS or Warhammer abridged were still around they could made a super funny on this.

Just as I was going to sleep. Perfect.

Now it’ll be the wrath of Karen.

Gather friends and family, the lore master has another tale for us

Ooh I been waiting on this one

‘Let them come, insidious monsters that they are. Let them flow like a tide into the killing zone. Await my signal to activate the teleportariums, and then let us unleash the Emperor’s fury upon these abominations from every direction at once.’ - Oldorian Mefistal, Shield-Captain of the Dread Host

I got rly sick yesterday and this video helps a lot emotionally. Thank you!

Another banger from LT, thank you!

At last! Sleep again. After such a long time of deprivation. I already got the feeling some warpdwellers are lurking in my house and all angles got curved. Thanks for saving me.

Damn, I was just getting into bed and you had to drop a lore video on the current hot topic for 40k

Man, there's a lot of ivory tower settings in 40k, the extreme wealth of a planetary governor, or of a rogue trader, or of an inquisitor, compared to the squalor of the general public. But imagine being one of the chirurgeons who work in laboratories that look more like they're pulled out of star trek, and the disdain they likely feel for these "lesser people" who bring them their sons to be changed into gods.
