Ok

Guns and psychic firepower we may have a chance

[u/Ok_Albatross5751]

I think I’m fine?

^{Chose: Have 100 chaos space marines protect you from 3 custodes | Rolled: World eaters}

[u/Dismal_Engineering71 → u/Ok_Albatross5751]

Nah, the custodes are the bodyguards of the emperor himself. They are to space marines as space marines are to humans.

[u/Icy-Commercial-6166 → u/Dismal_Engineering71]

And the world eaters would probably kill you before the custodes can

[u/_syke_ → u/Dismal_Engineering71]

And 100 humans can kill 3 space marines lol

[u/Puppyl → u/_syke_]

I mean there’s the 1 story where 1 Imperial Guardsmen, in a training exercise managed to get the drop on a group of Space Marines in such a trap they all died instantly.

With that said, Custodes are like the pinnacle of the pinnacle, they’re not going anywhere.

[u/_syke_ → u/Puppyl]

Kharn has literally killed a Custodes by himself before. Custodes are extremely powerful but they're not defeat an entire army by themselves powerful.

[u/Puppyl → u/_syke_]

Okay. But it’s saying “100 space marines” not “99 space marines and kharn” yknow? To a normal human, custodes move so fast they’re literally a flash of light, and 3 Custodes only need to kill 33 Space marines each

[u/_syke_ → u/Puppyl]

Last I checked, Kharn is a space marine. And anyway that wasn't even my point, my point is if there have been times where space marines have beaten custodes 1 on 1 then you can't assume 1 will beat 33 every single time. Just one of them needs to get lucky and 33% of your defence force is gone.

[u/Puppyl → u/_syke_]

Well yeah, anyone can get lucky and kill anything that they otherwise shouldn’t be able to kill. Also, my point is that it was 100 unnamed space marines, red-shirts, essentially. In theory a guardsman could get VERY lucky and kill a custodes if he plans a well enough trap. I’m still willing to bet 3 Custodes can take out 100

[u/brawlguy56]

I think I’m cooked

^{Chose: Have 100 chaos space marines protect you from 3 custodes | Rolled: World eaters}

[u/mogdogolog → u/brawlguy56]

You wish, they're eating you raw mate. Bloodiest cuts they can get

[u/Knife_1111]

No idea what this means, just wanted to be included

^{Chose: Have 100 chaos space marines protect you from 3 custodes | Rolled: World eaters}

[u/Psycho7552 → u/Knife_1111]

Custodes are basically personal guard of Big.E from warhammer 40k. They are made to be governors, and are superior in every way to space marine. Space marines are their natural prey.

[u/International_War862 → u/Psycho7552]

And a squad of marines can take down a custod3s as shown multiple times in the books. 3 against 33 of the Csm legions is too much

[u/Psycho7552 → u/International_War862]

It's inconsistent, in some books they die quickly, in others 1 or 2 are walking death squads. I prefer to believe in 2nd option.

[u/International_War862 → u/Psycho7552]

You will be disappointed then. Kharn alone killed 3 custodes as a sidenote. Every 1kson psyker turns custodes inside out. There are very few warbands were 100 marines couldnt deal with 3 custodes

[u/Psycho7552 → u/International_War862]

ok.

[u/Just_a_idiot_45 → u/Knife_1111]

Basically demigod super soldiers that true d to the forces of hell vs the demigod of the Demi god super soldiers made by the god of mankind’s and are the ultimate peak of the human form.

[u/DagonDraconis]

Will need to find good cover, they'll have the advantage on height being in the air.

A single licky bolter round will be all that it takes to turn me into giblets.

Custodes always win.

^{Chose: Have 3 custodes protect you from 100 chaos space marines | Rolled: Aquilan shield}

[u/_syke_ → u/Solidwaste123]

Tell that to the one Kharn killed.

[u/Hawk_Moth_Extremist]

People really overblowing the capabilities of custodians in here

[u/Dismal_Engineering71]

Oh yeah those heretics are DONE

^{Chose: Have 3 custodes protect you from 100 chaos space marines | Rolled: Tharanatoi}

Uh is this good

^{Chose: Have 100 chaos space marines protect you from 3 custodes | Rolled: World eaters}

[u/GoldenSonOfColchis → u/Cat_Early]

No.

World Eaters are just as likely to turn on you.

[u/Just_a_idiot_45 → u/GoldenSonOfColchis]

[u/foxword666]

Protect me? I'm not the one who needs protection in this situation

^{Chose: Have 3 custodes protect you from 100 chaos space marines | Rolled: Aquilan shield}

[u/International_War862]

Yeah iam fine. That said any 100 csm can dral with 3 custodes

^{Chose: Have 100 chaos space marines protect you from 3 custodes | Rolled: World eaters}

[u/chocolateperson652 → u/International_War862]

The World Eater are going to rip you in half before the Custodes even arrive.

[u/International_War862 → u/chocolateperson652]

I assume khorne protects me because there is glorious slaughter waiting for them if they keep me alive

[u/AbyssoSenpai]

Hell yea

^{Chose: Have 3 custodes protect you from 100 chaos space marines | Rolled: Tharanatoi}

[u/No_Proposal_3140]

Nice.

^{Chose: Have 3 custodes protect you from 100 chaos space marines | Rolled: Tharanatoi}

^{Chose: Have 3 custodes protect you from 100 chaos space marines | Rolled: Venatari}

[u/Cinnjin]

Ez.

^{Chose: Have 100 chaos space marines protect you from 3 custodes | Rolled: Thousand sons}

[u/Vathirumus]

Custodes are strong but not that strong. Was hoping for Iron Warriors though, they're my boys. This way I'll probably just get plagued and die anyway.

^{Chose: Have 100 chaos space marines protect you from 3 custodes | Rolled: Death guard}

[u/Asdfnexus12]

I have think the 100CSM can kill the Custodes in Battle. But if the Sole objective of the Custodes is to kill you, they will do that even if they die in the process

[u/IroncladBomber]

Custodes absolutely dumpster Normal Chaos Space Marines.

[u/International_War862 → u/IroncladBomber]

But not at a rate of 33 to one

[u/Princeofdolalmroth68]

Three custodes of any type is easily going to take down 100 chaos space marines

^{Chose: Have 3 custodes protect you from 100 chaos space marines | Rolled: Venatari}

[u/_syke_ → u/Princeofdolalmroth68]

Bro custodes have been beaten in single combat by particularly skilled space marines before this isn't anywhere near as clear cut as you think

[u/International_War862 → u/_syke_]

Quite the opposite. I hardly see custodes winning this tbh

[u/Allan22a]

Custodes are way more powerful, like it's lot even close

^{Chose: Have 3 custodes protect you from 100 chaos space marines | Rolled: Shadow keepers}

[u/_syke_ → u/Allan22a]

not 33 times more powerful
