    Adeptus Custodes

    The Adeptus Custodes are the guardians of the Imperial Palace, the Golden Throne and the Emperor of Mankind himself. A small elite guard of three hundred Custodes, known as the Companions, form the Emperors personal bodyguard. Ever watchful these men never leave his side. Due to the vast size of the Imperial Palace the Custodes always act as a defensive army. Although technically they should never see action unless Terra and the Imperial Palace are invaded! It is the Adeptus Custodes that decides who may enter the throne room of the Emperor, and when they may do so. Powerful beyond even the might

    Points: models
    of the Space Marines, it is they alone who have access to the Emperor. Answering to nobody but the Emperor and their own leader, the Captain-General, they are believed to be only a thousand men strong. They are normally confined to the Imperial Palace on Holy Terra, but there have been a few instances when these warriors have taken to other battlefields. An example of this is the siege of Prospero where a small number of Custodes aided the Space Wolves assault on the heretical Thousand Sons. In fact the Custodes have only taken to battle with large numbers once, this was during the Great Crusade against the Ork warlord Gharkhul Blackfang.
