Legio Custodes
The Adeptus Custodes are the guardians of the Emperor. They are a small, elite force that are similar in physical appearance to a Space Marine (Although their superior in physical combat). Unlike a Space Marine, Custodes are created by a unique, 'one off' process that is more time intensive than a traditional Space Marine. Due to this and their training, Custodes are more independent in their fighting style and martial prowess--whereas a traditional Space Marine fights better as part of a unit.
My Legio Custodes represent the Legion at the time of the Heresy and are led by the Emperor (Of course!).

Custodes Envoy Squad
Custodes Envoys often work alone, spreading the Emperor's will among the stars through infiltration and subterfuge. When called to battle, they often form the Vanguard for the Adeptus Custodes---riding swiftly into the front lines in the Emperor's Gift and sowing panic among the enemy.

Why I Started This Army
Ever since I got into 40k, I was always drawn to the Heresy--and specifically the Custodes. I like the way they are portrayed to have more personality and unique character attributes as opposed to normal Marines.
