I can't really see where the Custodians wou;dn't have had a brief on their mission, where it mentions bring Magnus back in a nice way, from either the Emperor or the Sigilite as they were from the palace guards so would be briefed up well I'd have thought.

So it should be odd to them to get conflicting orders from Horus. Which really should require a order check back to home base. Doesn't fly with real life too much but then GWS bin any semblance of real military protocol when it doesn't suit them.

True but remember the orginal order from Emp's was changed by Horus the Warmaster.

They still believed that he was loyal and had no reason to question Horus's "legal orders"

after all Mangus broke the Lawful edicts of Nikea and thus broke his sworn word to Emps.
