    To explain geneseed. Geneseed is a series of artificial organs produced by this thing called a progenoid gland, every space marine has two, one in the back of the neck, one in the chest. These organs are extracted by an apothecary and are used to create the organs that are surgically implanted into the aspirants to turn them into astartes. This includes two progenoid glands, which allows the cycle to start again. Hope this helped!

    If you are to do Dreadnaughts you have to mention Bjorn the Fel-Handed. He is an *ancient* Space Marine who everyone venerate. However he is also kind of the old grandpa who fought in WW2 and is just tired of everyone kissing his feets. There is a scene where Bjorn is talking to an Inquisitor. The moment the Inquisitor learn if his identity, Inquisitor falls to his knee. Bjorn goes "Oh for fu... Stop that!"

    It’s also the Latin basis for the word “custody” which can be simplified to “keep” like a “groundskeeper” as someone who maintains a location. Custodes is a great name for the Emperor’s guard, and fits particularly well as they “take care of” his ideals in addition to taking care of his palace.

    Half of Warhammer40K is Latin, the other half is German. Which, as a German who had 7 years of Latin in school, always feels hilarious to me seeing space marines in power armour designed to look like knight armour from the medieval _Heiliges Rämisches Reich Deutscher Nation_ (Holy Roman Empire of German Nation) and saying "Imperium" instead of "Empire".

    I’m not the best source for 40K lore, but from what I understand about the Custodes, they all are philosophers or critical thinkers that just casually ponder the art of war, the art of science, the art of art itself, and really just about anything you can seriously ponder. I also believe that some of them practice poetry or literature. So I like to believe that Ava’s proposed story about an “I’ll miss you, stay safe” from an Aquilan Shield Custodes could 100% happen.

    Fun Fact: there is in fact a Dreadnought who's primary duty in the modern imperium is to tell stories to his chapter. Bjorn the Fell-Handed of the Space Wolves. He kinda hates it because he'll have dreams of being with his brothers from Heresy times at a grand feast (pretty much Valhalla) and then everyone gets up and goes to another room to continue the party, but he cannot follow. The reason is he's not quite dead yet, and the Space Wolves just woke him up for story-time again. He's also less a brother and more a grumpy old grandpa of the Space Wolves.

    "they're generally nice" that is... pattently untrue. there is a direct example of this: a child asked a space marine what they thought they wanted to be when they grew up before they became a marine, to which they said something like, i always wanted to be a blacksmith. when that same child asked a custodes this question it played out like this: Child: "What was your dream job growing up?" Custodes: "that is irrelevant. I have no time for such innane prattle" Child: "I was just curious?" Custodes: *"We are done talking now."* (comparatively) kind, maybe, but not nice.

    So with Custodes lore they do not have geneseed like a space marine, as of 9th ed Codex. They are taken at latest late infancy to begin the process of becoming a Custodian. It is referenced as Alchemical processes that are so advanced they seem like magic, were the Infant is remade at the genetic level to become a 9ft tall Demigod. As a custodian is a human body but min maxed to perfection, while a marine is an amalgamation of powerful organs jammed into a modified human like vessel.

    Hey, slight amendment to the point on the Thunder Warriors: After the last battle of the Thunder Warriors, the Custodes backstabbed and annihilated them at Mount Ararat (on the orders of big E, because their geneseed was so unstable - he argued it was a mercy as they were suffering but it was a classic big e dick move). A small number, including their Primarch (not the same of the space marine primarchs, this is purely used as a title for a leader. Thanks GW) survived and with a high lord who wanted to investigate the slaughter and hold the Custodes accountable for breaking the law and killing the Thunder Warriors. This rag tag bunch of ragamuffins attacked the proto-imperial palace. This was where the first space marines were made and the first battle of the Space Marines, ever. They along with a handful of custards attacked and destroyed the force including all thunder warriors, but the high lord was allowed to step down and leave as she was just doing her job. Would recommend Valdor: Birth of the Imperium if you're interested in the end of the Thunder Warriors and how they were murdered :)

    27:19 I always thought the max number of 10,000 Custodes is an homage to the Persian Immortals, who also kept exactly 10,000 soldiers and were directly under the king as elite troops. They were named “Immortals” because their numbers never grew, never shrank, and were the elite shock troops, so the sight of them on the battlefield was meant as a major morale boost for Persian troops and a big morale blow for their enemies. Just like the Custodes hmm…

    The custodian with the most names is constantin valdor. He was the captain general during the great crusade and horus heresy and after malcador the closest thing to a friend or even a son to the emperor. He has over a thousand names. All writen inside his armour. For astonishing victories. During the great crusade a force of a couple hundred teleported into a big war with the orks that halted three legions of astartes. In minutes they killed thousands of the green skins and losing three of their own. And for their fighting style its pretty good described in the first heretic. „We Astartes fight like a wolf pack. We work together to overcome the enemy. We are a brotherhood. They fight like lions. Every one fights his own battle. They’re not a unit. They are individual heros“

    58:31 that works both ways. We can ignore when GW goes "always has been" and we can come up with a better explanation for it. Or throw it out the window. I personally think that the only thing that prevented Custodes from being made from female humans was the Emperor, the Emperor was very biased. Space Marines are a different thing, but in the case of Custodes they could be made from a female base. Not sure why but they could. It wouldn't be the first time the Mechanicus tried to change stuff up.

To me the main point of the Custodes was that they were the physical peak of humanity and strength. Since men have more muscle mass (in general terms) than women, it makes sense for them all to be men. BUT it's not like the female Custodes look like the Sisters of Silence, they still would look like the brick outhouses that the male Custodes look like.

    To hopefully clarify (might be wrong) A gene seed is a product made from the Emperor and his Primarchs. This seed is not sperm, but a genetic overlapping code produced by a new organ. This gene seed turns a person into the level of a space marine, taking on features of the person the seed is from so Gilly boy, his men will become more diplomatic, their facial features ill slightly look like him, and their hair will be tinted to blond like their primarch. It is very rare for a dark haired Ultra Marines to exist. Every space marine has 2 gene seeds in their body. 1 is extracted as soon as their training is complete, the second gene seed is extracted upon death. The Lementars chapter almost wiped out, but like 3 survived. So to regain their numbers they had train 3 people, then 3 more, and then 3 more, and this number will tick up as there are people who die during the process. This took like centuries I think.
