Please give us Adeptus Custodes
Seriously it would be basically the only game to feature them. That DLC would sell very well. Think about it devs.. you have no competition in the 40k gaming world. There is,afaik, no other game that features the Adeptus Custodes.

As for the lore, make them guard primaris geneseed or smth and that explain why they are on Gladius. In game they should play like elite soldiers, very expensive to produce, very strong. Small armies but if used correctly they should dominate even when outnumbered.
Add Sisters of Silence units to complement them aswell. You HAVE so many units to choose from:

There is no other 40k game that has the Custodes. The DLC will sell like bread.

I for one would rather buy that and not some geh dark eldar (drukhari)..

Speak for yourself. I won't buy the next DLC if it isn't Drukhari. Adeptus Custodes are the most boring army in the setting.

Bruh. We are really talking cash grabs ? Lol ? Land Raider was a dlc item. The iconic tank of the SM haha How about the Sisters of Battle ? Whole faction is a cash grab

People would 100% pay for that dlc. Hell I would argue Votann would also be a good bet since they are new.

Speak for yourself. Drukhari literally do nothing in the lore, they exist for "grimdark".
At least the custodes did stuff before the HH and in the current setting and as a faction they are a lot more complex and imo fun.
A better more interesting adition would be the eldars worshiping Cegorach but I dont know how they would add them.

I am not saying Drukhari shouldnt be added. Hell they can add them next, but I think they could make a lot of money from factions like Custodes,Votann or maybe the Inquisition with Grey Knights.

Arg. 'Cashgrab' accussations again? . It is really getting tiresome. You can call anything a 'cashgrab' that has a price. Either state clearly what you mean by this or stop. Otherwise it is a lazy insult lobbed at any faction/thing that you don't like.

I don't think that having Custodes in this game would make any sense at all, but I would find it nonsensical to call them a 'cashgrab'.

It's just that I don't think that they would fit into the scope and background of the game. In what way are they a 'faction' anyway? As far as I know, they are basically a single unit - assisted by another single unit (Sisters of Silence) and whatever else you wish to thow in the mix from the Imperium. A super unit by itself is not a faction.
You'd have to come up with sensible mechanics, economy, unit roster, tech tree and background for them - and I think you'd have to struggle with each of these. It would make far more sense to throw them in with the Inquisition or the Space Marines, or possibly as a character in quests / scenarios.

Ok, I'll take the bait.

How is the optional addition of a niche, secondary, not-especially-popular-faction a "cash grab"?

I think they could easily throw them into a Inquisition faction, alongside Sisters of Silence,Grey Knights and other similar stuff. They have enough to choose from and it would work as a very specialised army that is basically VERY elite but VERY expensive to field in large numbers. There are plenty of units to choose from the custodes army in the sense that there arent that many units per faction either way. They have dreadnoughts,specialised flying units,special terminators.. plus the SoS and maybe Grey Knights/inquisitorial troops it would be a lot more fun than edgy eldar.

If not then the Votann are still a much more sensible option because they are new and people would just buy it.

i dont meaned it for Gladius i meaned it for TT. i see them as nothing more than a splitoff to get more money from GW there, so i dont see them as a viable option as a Gladius DLC...
happens to much there and it dont does the factions any good when you look at the newer Editions. Eldar hacked in 3, Tyranids hacked in 2, aso....

so, try to prove me wrong that all this "new" subfactioning and new minirooster armys are not for cashgrabs sake in TT Grotzel....

Well. that makes more sense. At least I guess so - can't really judge TT without any experience. Although, I will point out that I do like the lore & concept around some of this stuff (... even the Custodes), especially the Harlequin subfaction if you count them among the miniroster armys.

A big inquisitiorial cookpot with various imperial flavours throw in might be interesting ... but I've switched to the xenos side for now. Drukhari, Chaos Demons(+Cultists?) and Genestealers (in that order) simply look more enticing for future factions. :)

Chaos 100% deserves some love. Maybe they should hold off on new factions and add more to chaos xD. They are so generic. CHAOS is so bland rn

For the love of God, no ! There is various factions or subfactions before the super-duper heroe gold clad bad WH40k version of the Pretorian guard.

That's a really superficial take. They do heaps in the lore - I'm not sure you know what the word 'literally' means. Saying they only exist for grimdark is like saying Necrons, Tyranids or Chaos only exist for grimdark.

Besides, a big 'no' to Custodes. They have too few units and they are, frankly, boring as hell.

Imo two issues that prevent Custodes from appearing in a lot a games, let alone a particular 4X game like Gladius; For one there's too little of them, although I'm sure one can skate around that for gameplay purposes depending on the game. And two they can be the most unfun faction to fight against and hard to balance since their gimmick is being OP asf but their drawback is being less of them, basically like Space Marines but 10x times worse.

The Imperium already makes up almost half the factions in the game. We need more xenos factions, or most games will just be the Imperium fighting themselves repeatedly. I know the Imperium of Man love their civil wars but that is ridiculous!

Also, your main argument for Custodes works for the Genestealer Cults too. No other 40K game has them as a playable option.

But even if not my beloved Cults I'd prefer the Dark Eldar to Custodes. Then Votann before Custodes as well. Maybe even Harlequins before Custodes.

... Definitely Kroot before Custodes, but such is only the distant dreams of a madman.
