Well, the Thunder Warriors were basically just humans with extreme amounts of augmentations. Kinda like, if we say it like this: If an astartes is an arm, then it is an arm filled with steroids, while a Thunder Warrior is a mechanic arm. Might not be a good likening, but I think you can get my point. But how the Custodes were created is something that seems very facinating to me and I hope we can get some answer to that question in one of the HH stories. Somehow.

Lecolius: You do not seem to understand what I am saying here. I have never stated otherwise, I am simply saying that I have a hard time believing anyone can be descended from the Emperors pure genome. The Primarchs were not the Emperors clones, otherwise they would have been as powerful, and even if they were, their regenerative powers show a DNA that is extremely adaptable, thus meaning they are not the Emperors clones any longer. It is the same as normal genes and it is quite simple. You have the original genes of the Emperor, then you have the distillied and modified genes of the Emperor in the Primarchs, and then you have the further modified genes of the Emperor in the Astartes. That is 3 generations of genes, 3 generations can modify alot of things when met with the conflict faced in the genetic structure of a Primarch and a Human.

Now, I heard an Inquisitor wanted to take me in. Last time someone tried that with a Space Wolf, it didn't go down so good.
