Talk:Adeptus Custodes
Are those random 3's peppered through the article originally citations from Lexicanum or some other Warhammer 40K wiki that this was plagiarized from?
Yes, the page is work in progress, first we form a basis for the page, then we alter and mutilate it with the typical /tg/ twist.
Anyone got a sauce on the section of there being a big battle raging beneath the palace?--Shanix (talk) 03:16, 20 April 2015 (UTC)
- I realise this answer is a bit late, but it's The Sigillite audiobook. Malcador shows a guy one of the titan sized doorways under the palace and explains what the Emperor is so busy doing during the Heresy, with the Custodian and Sisters of Silence in various states of battle readiness, probably due to being rotated in and out. As to it continuing to 40k, that's an assumption since there hasn't been any evidence to suggest that the condition of the Golden Throne has improved in any way. --Dark Angel 2020 (talk) 06:49, 7 July 2015 (UTC)
Why were the Custodian Guard given their own page when they're still a part of the Custodes? It's not like there's a lot of info there that isn't repeated earlier in this article or just copy-pasted right from GW (it's also not like the Custodes have such a huge force that they need individual breakdowns), so why do they need their own page? -- Triacom (talk) 05:08, 22 October 2016 (UTC)
- With the Custodes army coming out, it is pretty obvious that they will be given their own army template. The Custodes while small in contrast to the Space Marine Legions, are still large enough to have their own force of Dreadnoughts, Land Raiders and etc. They're literally a full fledged army/faction in their own right. The Custodian Guard being given their own page is to cut down on the bloatedness of the Custodes main page and make it more cut clean and neater. It is similar why other 'small' armies such as the Squats, the Inquisition and Sisters of Battle gets their own army templates; it is of the same reason. You would not like to see me posting every equipment, vehicles and units in the Custodes main page, it is just ugly and besides, we're not the WH40K wikia. The Prospero scenario would be the initial introduction of the Custodes, over time I see GeeDubs adding more and more units and vehicles for the Custodes until we get the big honcho that is going to be the siege of the Imperial Palace. On the other hand, the matter on whether the Sisters of Silence will also get their own army templates is still pending. We wait and see if GeeDubs start to add enough unit variation of the Silent Sisterhood to guarantee their own unique army force. But as of now, the Custodes have proven to have their own sub-pages on their units and vehicles. Derpysaurus
- And just to explain further. The Custodes Main Page provides the general history and role of the organization itself. The Custodian Guard is for information and tabletop rules for that particular unit for itself, making it a much more specialized page. Derpysaurus
- First of all, the Custodes page does not have bloat. Secondly, just because they're given models and possibly a book doesn't mean anything, see Legion of the Damned for an example of that. If they get stuff like Land Speeders or Land Raiders then obviously nobody's going to put a specific mention on those pages for the Custodes specific versions (aside from maybe mentioning that they're BS5), and they're definitely not going to get a new page for them because they're not needed. If you're wrong and GW doesn't try to expand on them, then I will request to have them moved back as giving Custodes a separate section makes no sense to me, just like giving Paladins a seperate page for their Tabletop counterparts, or Land Raiders, or Predators, etc. -- Triacom (talk) 12:34, 22 October 2016 (UTC)
- We will wait and see after GeeDubs finish with the Horus Heresy line first. But for now, I think we should leave it as it is. After all the Custodes section is still under construction. Derpysaurus
- Looks like Custodians are going to be just one part of a multi-faction army list called the Talons of the Emperor. When we find out what it includes, it might be worth expanding the Custodian army Template to include these other units, rather than having it Custodes only. My guess is it will cover any factions/units which report to the Emperor, but are either so specialised or so few that a dedicated army list wouldn't work. So I'm willing to bet Sisters of Silence will be in there. Crossing my fingers for Clade Assassins in 30k! --Dark Angel 2020 (talk) 17:22, 24 October 2016 (UTC)
Unit entries on this page
I feel like I need to justify myself now, since I've taken down rules entries on this page twice. We have already seen that Custodians are getting rules in both 30k and 40k, and those rules do not match each other. Plus we already know they are getting more units in due course, which may or may not be shoehorned into 40k as well as 30k. So putting practically word-for-word unit entries for just one incarnation of just one squad without any other commentary is absolutely unnecessary given how specific pages have been made for those other units, particularly when the freely available .PDF for rules are actually linked. -Dark Angel 2020 (talk) 17:19, 29 October 2016 (UTC)
40K Codex
I've seen pictures of 40K Custodes with a land raider and contemptor. Apparently there's a codex coming out. Tyranid Memestealer (talk) 18:58, 10 March 2017 (UTC)
You mean this?:
For what is known, Terminators, Contemptors, jetbikes and what appears to be the Companions and Tribunes themselves.
By, the way, which context is best to include this image on the page? I want to add it but I'm not too sure where...Korvalus (talk) 00:45, 13 January 2018 (UTC)
Put it in the gallery, or replace the pic of the November 2016 White Dwarf in the Getting A Codex section. The Goofy Geek (talk) 19:05, 18 June 2018 (UTC)
TTS
Please be kind, why the dislike of the TTS changes?
- Simple, that's overusing the joke. There's already a section for it on the page and forcing it onto the other parts just makes the joke unfunny, especially for the people who already don't like it. It's the same reason that people got sick of strikethroughs and the other older memes being everywhere. Also (and this is a minor point) but I think most people would agree that Trajann and Kitten are two separate people. -- Triacom (talk) 18:13, 17 June 2018 (UTC)
So any newer meme's would be potentially alright to put in?
- Just keep it relevant to the section it's in, there's a reason we don't say their power level is over 9000 when comparing them to the Space Marines. A lot of memes are either not relevant or just plain overused. -- Triacom (talk) 08:12, 18 June 2018 (UTC)
TTS: Kitten is DEFINITELY NOT Valdor
"May or may not be Constantin Valdor, it's kept deliberately contradictory."
How is it "kept deliberately contradictory"?
- Episode 28 has Kitten lament his self-perceived failure to fill Constantin Valdor's shoes.
- Canonically it was a Centurion of the Companions rather than the Captain-General himself who had led the Custodes intervention in the final stage of the Age of Apostasy (who happens to be Kitten in TTS).
- Kitten was elected to be Captain-General, and by Wammudes' admission in the second Vox-Logs episode, he had been in that post "for years now" (i.e. at the very most a decade or two ago). It's only the post of "Emperor's Caretaker" (a completely separate post from the Captain-General) that he has held "for thousands of years".
This three pieces of evidence should be a clear enough indication that Kitten and Valdor are completely different individuals, even the two were 30K-era contemporaries. MarqFJA87 (talk) 20:24, 30 August 2020 (UTC)
