That's true, there's no need for you to post three pages of stuff like "Custodes are better than Primarchs" and the other sorry excuses of evidence that you seem to believe still hold some sort of meaning. I think the only thing left to say is this -
"Only a fool would place a bet on the outcome of such a battle". And that's just regular Marines.

-_- did you forget the part where 1000 custodes killed hundreds of thousands of the Warlord Blackfang's elite bodyguards in minutes with three casualties? No, I'm done. I am not returning to this page.

In minutes? Good one. Did you miss the part where Grey Knights do things 100 times more difficult? I thought so.
Point still stands, a Custode is on par with an Astartes, and Grey Knights are far superior to a regular Astartes.

One of their Wolf Lords 'made a pass' at some woman on a mysterious world on the galactic edge before they all got slaughtered! It's in their codex under the little time line of events thing 
Oh and the custode argument is pretty dumb. They don't have codex to exalt (exhaust) their deeds and they also haven't been doing much fighting since the Heresy. But they're supposed to be better.

Well, you know, they aren't better. Just go and read Blood Games for that quote, it outright states they're equal to a Space Marine.

There are quotes that say they're better than Space Marines as well. Aren't they just space marines based of the big E's gene seed? Debatable if the Knights are too though...(Goes to finding quotes)
Still, if they're equal to Space Marines than which Primarch contributed their genes? Why did the Emp go to the trouble of creating something special for his own guard? Why wouldn't he just have a select Space Marine body guard or Grey Knight body guard for that matter?

If our local Custode fanatic hasn't found any then you have your work cut out. Custodes aren't Space Marines. They don't use geneseed, they're basically grown individually in test-tubes. It means they have greater individuality, but lack the brotherhood and battlefield coordination of the Astartes. Still, if they're equal to Space Marines than which Primarch contributed they're genes? Why did the Emp create something special for his own guard? Why wouldn't he just have a Space Marine body guard?
They have no Primarch, which means loyalty only to the Emperor, and he can control their numbers. Honestly, I'd agree that on an individual basis a Custode is better than an Astartes. But not a Grey Knight, they're better than regular Astartes in literally every way.
