Custodes? (40K) was created by Mr. White
Never really followed 40K, but it's being made out like these guys are a big deal.

So...what's their deal? Are they 30K era units?

Speaking of which...how does one know if a game is 30k or 40k? I thought there were only the AoS or 40K logos.

They are 30k. Any of the stuff from Horus Heresy is 30k. Someone more knowledgeable would have to tell you when the split happens. As for how you know.... personally I think the 30k armor looks lower tech.

The Custodes are also in the 40k. They guard the Emperor's carcass (ahem). I've seen artworks of them in 40k, and I see not much difference from the models in Prospero (gold armor, cornhead helm with crest).

Sisters of Silence, now, they are 30k only.

(Adjusts glasses) Technically, the Sisters of Silence survived up to 32k as the last remaining members fought in the War of the Beast, where the marines would probably more closely match the 40k chapters than the 30k legions. It's not a period with an official ruleset, so I'm just being pedantic for the sake of nerd points.

Custodes have been a part of 40k lore since the Rogue Trader days but have never really had any models for them well except for this guy.







I'm not an expert on the fluff, so I don't know how much action the custodes saw before the Emperor was mortally wounded in the fight with Horus, but I think ever since then they've pretty much just served as the guards to the Emperor's Golden Throne (basically this big thing that enshrines whatever is left of the emperor who uses his psychic powers to ensure the Imperium can still travel around via the warp).

There might have been rules for these guys in 40k 2nd edition (the boxed set that came out after Rogue Trader) but they've never had miniatures outside of the one above. That's why this has been a big deal. Prosper Burns takes place in the Horus Heresy era of games aka 30k. But White Dwarf has published rules for these guys to be included in 40k. Confusing enough?

The only 30k games published under the Games Workshop banner are Betrayal at Calth and Prospero Burns. ForgeWorld has a bunch of rulebooks dedicated to different campaigns in the Horus Heresy 30k era.

As to why they're a big deal, they're supposed to be enhanced space marines.
