Its pretty funny that the BR reaction to the Custodes appearing is not "oh, cool, reinforcements" its basically "oh shit, its the cops."

Custodies “we have new marines for you” Ravens “yeah we already have some” C “ how?” BR “Cawl.... “Gifted” us some early..... that’s a nice gun you have there”

Little did the Custodes know, as they were talking the Blood Ravens stole half their relics three times over.

...As the Custodes fly away..."Hey...didn't this ship have 4 engines, seat belts, and a mini bar when we landed?"

After the Custodes left the real test of the marines began: Blood Ravens Captain: So what did you strangers get? *Primaris marines start piling up a mass of Custodes halberts, Custodes armour, some Sister of Silence lingerie and a complete disassembled Custodes Dreadnaught......and the centerpiece: The Emperor of Mankind's rubberducky* Captain *Tears in his eyes* "Welcome to the chapter..... BROTHERS!!!"

Adeptus Custodes: "Welcome Blood Ravens! We have bought gifts... to.. Is that Illiandroses Hammer? Is that Santodes terminator suit?! What the..? Is that the Daemon Primarchs - Magnus the Red's - favorite staff?!" Blood Raven: "..They were gifts brother. GIFTS." *random blood raven drives off with custodes ship*

“Guillimans alive then who’s that primarch in our vault”

*"ah the blood raven's, my brothers welcome!"* *Locks the reliquary with superhuman speed

I would love to see Gabriel Angelos 1v1 a Custodes. Bet they've never seen an astartes in full terminator armor do a backflip before!

"Primarch, how do we approach the Blood Ravens to accept the Primaris?" "Brother, we visit, and mention that our Primaris contingent is earmarked for someone else."

Guilliman after the meeting: "Hey where's my father's sword" Gabriel Angelos *laughing in the distance*

When no-one was looking, the Blood Ravens stole 40 relics. They stole forty relics. That's as many as four tens. And that's heresy.

A point i haven’t seen raised, the custodes treat the space marines the same way many/most space marines treat baseline humans. It is endlessly amusing seeing that fly right over the marines heads.

"We don´t want your gift, we want to steal it, thats how we roll"

Meanwhile, on the five Custodes' private vox ... Custodes No. 2 Guy: "See? They're heisitant; freaking out. I told you my plan was better. We leave some breadcrumbs for these fools, some navigation coordinates, put the box in a maze with some things to kill, and the Blood Ravens will think they stole some magical new geneseed Roboute and the Emperor were working on, along with a recording of blessed be the chapter that uses this, and the Primaris demo video. Right, Three?" Custodes No. 3 Guy: "I would say ignore the captain and just talk to the librarian. That's on the dossier on how the Blood Ravens roll -- steal it and or listen to librarians. Gabe's kinda an exception but he's never around when the chapter needs him. Four?" Custodes No. 4 Guy: "I honestly just want an excuse to kill them and let the Emperor sort it out. Five?" Custodes No. 5 Guy: "Either one of you just patted me on the rump or one of these thieving magpies just tried to pickpocket me." Custodes No. 4 Guy: "(Stares down nearest Blood Raven) SHOW ME WHAT PASSES FOR GRAND THEFT AMONG YOUR MISBEGOTTEN KIND!"

Cawl: I made this! Blood ravens:..... Blood ravens: We made this!

Blood Ravens: "We Don't want those primaris marines!" Custodes: "What? It's not for you. It's for another chapter." Blood Raven: *Deep Breath* "Brother.. We have been aided from Holy Terra. Primaris Marines!"

Blood Ravens: Can steal almost anything that exists *Blood Ravens are evolving* Super Blood Ravens: Can steal anything that does or does not exist Magnus' soul shards: "I'm in danger"

*Entire chapter of Blood Ravens goes into battle, each Astartes fully equipped in Custodes gear* Blood Ravens: *What? The Custodes gifted these to us!*

I get why they're so up themselves (Emperor's Chosen and all that), but a smidgeon less haughtiness would be more becoming for the Custodes. I remember Guilliman was rather shocked about their contemptuous attitude to humans. Thank the Emperor that Guilliman made them get out of the house, as it were. They were getting weird.

Canonically, the blood ravens already had primaris that they "found"

Whenever two branches of the Imperium meet, they establish the pecking order: Blood Raven: "We are the Emperor's Finest!" Custodes: "Astartes, Please." Sister of Battle: "My sisters and I are the most faithful to the God-Emperor!" The (Immortal-yet-not-a-God) Emperor of Mankind: *"I THOUGHT I TOLD YOU SHITS TO STOP CALLING ME A GOD!!!"*

“Blood Ravens! We bring reinforcements, all new Primaris Space Marin... why do you already have them?” “Oh we... ‘found’ them on Mars centuries ago”

*Hippity hoppity* we just stole rowboat girlymans property 😁😎

“I just thought they were coming across as douchebags” seems like an apt summary of the 40k military

"Isolation from the Imperium has its advantages." Yeah, like stripping an entire planet worth of loot without anybody none the wiser

You know I used to be sad I was born too late to explore the world, too early to explore the cosmos or experience super high tech futuristic stuff, but at JUST THE RIGHT TIME to be alive as the plot of 40K actually advances. Honestly? Totally worth it. Elon can go to Mars, I just wanna see big E get off the damn chair

Looks like Magnuses loyalist chapter just got stronger. Here is the question, will the primaries marines be as good at stealing relics as the originals?

I absolutely agree with you. I think the custodes almost despise all astartes bc it was they who betrayed big E. Even if these loyalists had nothing to do with the heresy. I guess they regard the astartes as being flawed and untrustworthy.

*When Blood Ravens get Primarus Marines* Blood Ravens: Aw good! the Primarus Space Marines can carry the heavier relics. Lol 😂

I would say the custodes 'doucheness' isn't even comprehended by them. They just do. To them traditions, honors, respects, none of them mean anything to them unless it directly applied to protecting the empeor. They don't hate or dislike the astartes, its just they see no point in prolonging their job any longer than required.

Custodes: We bring you the gift of...... why the hell do you already have Primaris marines. Blood Raven: Wouldn't you like to know golden boy, by the way, that a nice spear you have there.

I suspect these new marines they have been "gifted" may have some bright blue paint show through if you scratch it......

While you reading this,.... We took your relics..

Being actually given new units and tech instead of being "gifted" them Blood Ravens: Wait, that's illegal

Roboute surely knows. Yet here we are. And after viamently proclaiming that no traitor legion geneseed would be used. Maybe he recognizes Magnus was loyal before his... shattering. It cannot be overlooked that the talents of the XV Legion would be very useful in fighting the Neverborn.

"recieve the primarchs gift" Yeah sure. "recieve". We all know what they did.

Yeah..You don't want to cross the Adeptus Custodes..😂

*angry screaming Magnus noises*

Guilliman: gives the Primaris to Blood Ravens Blood Ravens: that's not how stealing works!

The custodes were careful because they knew the blood ravens are gonna steal their gear.

Hey Rho, In Regards to the Custodes and how they Feel in terms of the Astartes, they generally Dont like them, this is because the Custodes actually hold the Astartes Responsible for what has happened to the Imperium, after all, the Custodes are actually Taught the Truth about everything within the Imperium as well as the Emperors Imperial Truth. Because of this, they are rather unfriendly to most outside of the Custodes, even with the High Lords of Terra they treat them the same as they do the Astartes. I Recommend Reading the Books "Master of Mankind" and "The Emperors Legion", Both of these books give a good amount of context in how the Custodes feel and how they are taught. Hope you have a great day!

Give the blood ravens something openly and they don't want it.

The Primaris are (presently) only sourced from the DNA of the 9 loyalist legions. So who knew which one was the right one when it came to the BR...?

"Isolation from the imperim had it's advantages" oh I bet the blood ravens have being taking full advantage of the chaos. To steal everything they want with out being yelled at

Blood Ravens: *sees Primaris marines while stealing relics* gift them to the chapter?

I bet the Custodes were surprised to see Primaris Blood Ravens among the First born in their first encounter!

You would think they already stole the methods to make primaris marines.

It’s nice to see there is someone that treats the Astartes the way the Astartes treat the Guard.

60 bloodravens vs 5 custodes. That is not a fair fight for the bloodravens

Yay. This is my favorite lore channel(so therefore my favorite channel.).

The custodes´s attitude is just being overly cocky/arrogant in my opinion. Sure, there are the Emperor´s personal guards, but that also means they were sitting on terra for 10 millenia while the astartes actually held the imperiums line against everything that came for it. Plus, given the density of Librarians in the blood ravens ranks (and taken into account some intel from the burning of prospero-novel) are you so sure the custodes would win this? Superior reflexes and skill dont do much if your armor and bones are melted for example....

Custodes: "Here we are with your Primaris Reinfo- wait... What are you doing? That's our ship!?!?" Blood Ravens: *"No brother! It is ummm.... Merley a short tour! Just a peek!"* **Steals ship and flies away*

Its nice that the custodes gifted them all the new weapons and gear

The Blood Ravens actually having been gifted something...no wonder they were confused.

The reason for not informing the Chapter Master yet would have to do with them not having enough facts yet, the Blood Ravens need for knowledge also includes there need to have all the facts as they can find. sending a single message with just a overview would be insufficient for them. Angulos would probably be informed after they've done all there questioning and testing to have as much details as they can give at once.

Cawl gets another chance to roll out traitor geneseed.

A the space version of the gypsy. These boys can and will steal anything including your granny's ashes.. As a side note to that, I love the DoW 1 and 2 games and this chapter because of it! And I love how they tried to make it work!

"What might be the cause of not informing Chapter Master Angelos...?" A.: HERESY!

I really enjoy you content. I do not believe I have ever left a comment under any of your videos, but your voice is very calming and your enthusiasm for the lore is palpable. Keep up the great work!

Maybe the reason he doesn't want to tell Angelos is because he fears Angelos is hiding the true origin of the chapter?

fun fact people think Lion El'Jonson is currently in stasis in the Rock this is not true he was shall we say gifted to the Blood Ravens a while ago and is currently locked in there reliquary

Here's a little story inspired by this... please read :-) ... Gabriel Angelos stood in front of his assembled Blood Ravens as the Ultramarines lander touched down. As the dust settled the ramp lowered, moments later an Emissary of Lord Guilliman appeared and started to descend down the ramp, flanked by Primaris of the Ultramarines 3rd Battle Company... He approached Gabriel, his escort marching in perfect step, heavy boots echoing across the parade ground. Gabrielle studied every inch of these new Astartes that The Lord Commander Guilliman is dispatching to bolster the ranks of the Chapters all across the galaxy. The Imperial Emissary motioned to the lander, ranks of Primaris appeared, resplendent in the colours of the Blood Ravens, banners and heraldry held high and proud.... After an impressive formation march the newly arrived Chapter reinforcements came to a thunderous halt, perfectly arrayed before Chapter Master Angelos... At the head of the column stood an impressive imposing warrior, he stood almost as tall as Gabriel who was in his Terminator plate, this was the first chance Gabriel had seen the new Mark X Gravis Armour of the Primaris up close, he was impressed by the design and by the design of the new style Bolt Weapons the arrayed Primaris wielded. He noticed the warrior wore a heavy cloak around his shoulders but he could see by the warriors markings he was of Sergeant rank... 'These warriors must have seen battle already then?' thought Gabriel.... It was at this moment Guilliman's regent interjected...... "I have completed the charge set to me by my Lord Guilliman and have delivered your Primaris reinforcement as ordered"... "Further reinforcements will be forthcoming my Lord"... He bowed and with a command he turned and ordered his escort back to the lander. Gabriel surveyed his new charges with a concerned look on his weathered battle hardened face... 'what was the reasoning behind this new initiative of Lord Guillimans?' 'The ancient Archmagos Cawl has a hand in their creation?' he mused... 'Only The Emperor Himself can create? Does he see himself as The Emperor?' Gabriel's attention was suddenly focused on the leader of his new cadre, the Sergeant appeared pensive, unsure of how to conduct himself..... "Welcome to your new home my son" announced Gabriel, as he flourished his arm broadly, "Indeed welcome to you all".... He returned to speaking to the Sergeant at the head of the arrayed Marines.... "What is your name Brother"... "My name is Sergeant Antonius Antonius" (couldn't think of a name, don't @ me!), "and it is a great honour to be finally with our Brothers of The Blood Ravens", Antonius proclaimed proudly. "We have studied all the information made available to us about our gene Brothers and we are versed in ALL our Chapters customs and doctrines".......... Antonius stepped closer to Master Angelus, a furtive look on his face, as he glanced back towards the Ultramarines boarding the lander.... pleased they were our of hear shot, he reached inside his great robe, an object appeared in his hand..... .......... "I half inched this while I was on the lander..." Antonius proclaimed... "If it isn't nailed down we'll have it!" Gabriel suddenly reeled back, a broad smile on his face.... throwing his arms wide open in acceptance to bellowed "You're all going to fit in just fine"....... hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha Bloody Magpies!!!! Teh Emprah Proteccs yeah!!!!!!

To me, it seems like the blood ravens do not care for the primaris marines, but the gene-seed, is the gift in their eyes.

7:13 Valestis: "Hahahaha. Have faith brother. We will get our answers. It is what the leader carries in that box that intrigues me" *smacks lips* Atenaxis: "No brother, DON'T !" *Custodes finish looking around* Pertinax: "Alright ..... I am ..... Wa ..... *WHERE THE FUCK IS THE BOX !?!?!?!?* Atenaxis: *chuckles* "Hehe .... we're in danger"

Got to love the Mangnus successors!

Ever since Dawn of War 2, my love for the Blood Ravens has been eternal

What you said about the Custodes seeing the Astartes with grim suspicion bc of the Heresy really shows the difference between the two besides the physical and mission goals. The Custodes feel that they can never again trust the Astartes fully.

Dawn of War 4 confirmed 😂

As to NOT telling the Chapter Master, calculated caution. Some one passes through the impassable barrier claiming to be Custodies, telling a tail that a long dead Primarch is alive and well; that he and some Magos created a better form of space marine? Not to mention i have new gene seed. Yeah.... RRiiiiight. So you look over everything with a microscope, looking for treachery, though still hopeful that it might be true, BEFORE passing it on to the rest of your chapter. With the forces stretched so thin, a 5th column attack from within would be their doom. Totally with the Captain with this one.

So if the Blood Ravens received new gene seed from Mars, the techpriest must know their Primarch

Great content Wolf! Really appreciate it, since I haven't got the time to read recently. Something about this universe has always fascinated me since the first time I got to know about it (2004 I guess). Best of luck and wishes for you sir!

Knowledge is power, guard it well.

Epic as always. Love the content

Thank you for your reading!

I've always had kind of a rough spot for the Custodes. They look badass and are tough as adamantium nails, but a lot of times, they just come off as battle droids, with more programming than spirit. "Emprah this, Emprah that." I know everyone is dedicated to fighting for the Emperor, but at least Guardsmen and Space Marines have other things going on and even lessen the Grimdark with some well-placed Brotherhood. Hell, Space Marine and Guardsmen bro-tier are some of my favorite moments in 40K. One is obviously more...well just MORE everything, than the other, but at the end of the day, their all in the same trench. But the Custodes? They aren't brothers, they barely even think of each other at all. Not because they hate each other, but because there's NOTHING there. No kinship, no rivalry, just programming to obey the Emperor. I've just never really gotten interested in them because most of the time to come off as aloof dicks. Sort of like if you took all the aspects about the Emperor I didn't like and put it into a group, it would be the Custodes. Still, it's nice to see Astartes on the other end of the stick when and even Superer-Superhuman talks to them like their idiots.

Think the custodes actually like the Blood Ravens because they follow the emperor as their own primarch.

We need more videos like this! You have a great voice for short stories and lore readings my friend 😊 And I also miss hearing "Children of the Omnisiah" in the background

Always a delight when the Wolf Lord blesses us with a new video! As for the Primaris, I'll say only this. Hans, get the flammenwerfer.

Nice, thanks for the lore dump. Currently painting up a Blood Raven Primaris Battalion, to stand alongside a Custodes detachment no less

Blood Ravens: ... wow... ACTUAL gifts.

“Yeah we’re going to give you those gene seed to mark better space marines, cause Bob said so.” “Come again?”

Gotta love how Blood Ravens response to Custodes impoliteness is to rub it in their face so flawlessly with their battle scarred armors, like "hey you goldenrods we are here doing the fighting and the dying and what are your oiled up bodies doing these several thousands of years, not that much judging by your untouched armor I see!" and even considering fighting them not caring in the slightest probable defeat and even Captain only calming down after Librarian points out how it might aid them in their future fights.

7:20, they know how to keep distance. they are on guard that some of their gear will be missing

How I love blood Ravens and any comment or story with them

Amazing Piece of Lore Great Walkthrough of a Primaris Exchange Adorable Blood Raven Socializing

They will probably Teach them the ways of the Blood Ravens first, before teaching them the Battlefield tactics they use. In other words, Teach them how to break into Chaos Strongholds, Tau Strongholds, Aeldari Holy Sites, Necron Tombs, Imperial Guard Bases, Battle Barges to Burglarize The Entire Relicquary and probably "Borrow" The Relicquary building itself.

Lol Eye of the Tiger playing in the background - Brilliant!

Thank you for taking your time making these videos Rho, I enjoy them more than any other 40k lore video on youtube. May God bless you. Edit: I would love to see more videos on Space Wolves after the great rift when you have both the strength and the time for it. :)

Quite intriguing, I assume that this stuff was happening while Gabriel was dealing with the crap in Dawn of war 3 so that’s why he wasn’t there to accept the Primaris personally but it’s also interesting how unlike with the main well known chapters the custodies didn’t have any grey shields for the blood ravens and just gave the them the means to make Primaris. Granted this was one ship compared to the full fleet that came with The Indominus crusade. Makes me wonder if chapters on the other side of the rift got a similar experience and if the custodies were able to track down more secretive chapters like the Space Shark, now that would be one hell of a tense interaction cause they don’t really talk with anyone they just show up, kill and do their “Red tithe” on the nearest imperial forge worlds

Sure, they "received" gifts

the comments are GOLD. I have been a 40k fan for a while but i had no idea what the blood ravens were all about. LOL

Most of the time the Custodies are filled with hubris for the Spacemarine chapters. However sometimes it comes around & bites them fully through the auramite* armor. That happened in Garro Weapon of Fate when a Custodie showed disdain towards Garro & a former ultramarine librarian under Malcador's Sigel. *Edit: D. Mendez helped clarify that Custodies are armored in an rare metal called auramite not ceremite . 🔍👍

Glad to see the return of the Blood Ravens!

"Knowledge is power. Guard it well."

Blood Ravens see box; “Uwu what’s that?”

Thank you very much for covering this! With the failing of DoW3 and the franchise being put on Emperor only knows for how long any more Blood Ravens lore is much appreciated!

"Recieve Primaris"? As if they didn't take them already.

As the Custodes left, they realized their shuttle was now on bricks. The Scouse Ravens were at it again

Love it how 80-90% of the comments is about the kleptomania of the Blood Ravens instead of thinking about the fact they might FINALLY find out their origins and their Primarch.
