actually I think it would be a good book; as to secure the Emperor against his enemies, they must patrol the hives of Terra against those who plot against him; their the equivelent of a more powerful Adeptus Arbites army. in these battles (against technobarbarians) they can use jetbikes, antigrav rhino's and their ancient technologies to bring back ancient Relics of Terra back in to imperial control.

Also, when the Custodes march to war, which is a rare enough event in the 41st millenium. They fight battles just as pivotal as those by the Legion of the Damned; such is the importance of those wars to the Imperium, the Custodes and the Emperor himself.

Finally, in occordance to the Emperors ruling, all loyalist primarchs are to have a bodyguard of Custodes. for example Gulliman would have one squad guarding his tomb on Macragge.
