Adeptus Custodes

For millennia, the Adeptus Custodes have formed the unyielding core of the Emperor’s multi-layered defences. Those Custodian Guard charged with the physical protection of the Master of Mankind spend every waking second devoted to their task, refining their warrior skills and constantly testing and updating their own strategies to ensure the sanctity of the Emperor’s throne. They are his last line of defence against a hostile galaxy hell-bent on Humanity’s destruction. If they fail in their task, the Imperium will collapse from the inside out. Their duty is so sacred, their reputation so profound, that even Space Marines and Inquisitors kneel before them.

How This Codex Works
