I mentioned them specifically because I, in my limited knowledge, had thought they were the most loyal chapter. Now I see that the Custodes cannot trust them to aid in their mission. They're a shifty bunch that conceal themselves from the Imperium, not unlike the Black Templars, only their loyalty is much harder to verify.

To clarify in general: The reason I chose to have the Custodes run off and form their own faction was so that they could attempt to protect all that remains of the Emperor with his death and a new age of strife: the survival of mankind.

Translation: Custodes models would be sweet. (the whole idea is a bit shaky)

Games Workshop seems to favor the Ultramarines, so I thought Segmentum Ultima (Gulliman's vision of a second Imperium) could be their own faction (rather than a Space Marine sub-faction of sorts), with futuristic roman legions/futuristic wariors as troops and Ultramarines as elite troops/champions. Still doesn't answer what happened to the other chapters/legions...
