Okay, there's a really badly written sentence in Deliverance Lost and I was wondering if you guys could tell me what it means.

Spoiler:

**Grey Templar**

It means that the Emperor used some of the Custodes traits that were desirable in the creation of Astartes geneseed.

Of course the Astartes bear little resemblence to the Custodes. They are created using 2 very different processes(Custodes are grown in test tubes, they arn't human in any way, shape, or form)

**BluntmanDC**

The Custodes were developed before either the Primarchs or Space Marines. It is likely that the Emperor used the sucess of the Custodes to develop the Space Marines.
