The Ten Thousand

The Adeptus Custodes were created by the Emperor of Mankind as his personal guardians, advisors, emissaries, and champions.

Clad in auramite and equipped with some of the finest weapons and wargear available to Humanity, every Custodian is an exceptionally powerful warrior.

For millennia, their greatest responsibility has been guarding the Emperor upon the Golden Throne. As threats to the Imperium multiply, however, the Ten Thousand increasingly venture beyond Terra to destroy enemies before they can threaten Humanity's heart.
