Adeptus Custodes Art

The Adeptus Custodes, also known as the Emperor’s Golden Legion or the Ten Thousand, are the elite guardians of the Emperor of Mankind. Clad in resplendent golden armor, they are genetically engineered superhumans, surpassing even the Space Marines in terms of physical prowess and combat skill. Each Custodian is a living weapon, honed over centuries to perfection, and their loyalty to the Emperor is unwavering.

Beyond their martial capabilities, the Custodes serve as the Emperor’s personal bodyguards and the defenders of the Imperial Palace on Terra. They are also tasked with safeguarding the webway portal beneath the palace, preventing daemonic incursions. Their vigilance is eternal, and they stand as the final bulwark against any threat to the Emperor and the Imperium, embodying the pinnacle of human achievement and dedication.
