Learning that someone else on Holy Terra has decided to threaten the Custodes Monopoly on elite Head of State Protection, the Imperium of Man has dispatched the elite golden clad warriors of the Adeptus Custodes to deal with the upstarts and take down this 'White House' they are protecting.

The Secret Service Detail Consists of the Following:
Agent Frank Horrigan
Agent Jack Krauser
Agent George Sears
US Agent John Walker
Colonel James Rhodes/Iron Patriot
President Steven Armstrong

There's a few dozen/hundred mook Secret Service types standing around the White House as well with puny autoguns or whatever that the Custodes can kill so they feel better about themselves when the mission goes sour.

How many standard Custodes can they take down before they are overwhelmed!

Scenario Bonus: The Custodes may get the assistance of two Reaver-class Titans.

That's a new one on me. Nothing on MG ever sold itself to me as that high powered. Especially since, fluff-wise, Primarchs are essentially only equaled by other Primarchs.

Raiden in Revengence picks up a 9000 ton giant robot around the size of a warhound titan and tosses it pretty easily. Armstrong is close to Raiden's level. They can 1v1 most Primarch unless psyker fuckery is going on, since they don't have any feats for fighting against that stuff.

How about a disrespect thread? 🤔

A compilation of feats that contradict the established abilities of a character.

For example Senator Armstrong's glasses don't break when he transforms, so his Nanomachines are only as durable as a pair of glasses? 😏
 
The custodes are faster and stronger then anyone here.
Armstrong is the only one that matters ans he woul ger overwhelmed by guys that make normal space Marines look slow and weak.

Frank Horrigan has 10 states across the board, 999 hit points and a splurge of action points. His Plasma Rifle hits with an average damage barely below that of being smacked in the face with a rocket launcher and crazy damage resistance!

US Agent is the Marvel 616 Comics Version (at his peak... not like the crippled version) whose in the ballpark of M616 Captain America in physical states and feats (though obviously not skill and experience or WILL). So we're talking about well above peak human strength, near bullet time fighting and reaction speed as well as the energy baton, vibranium shield and whatever firearms he wants to use. And his bulletproof suit.

Colonel Rhodes/Iron Patriot is the MCU version as popularized in IronMan 2 with the armor comparable to the one that took a tank cannon hit and could fly with F-22 Raptors and overladen with cool explosive weapon and arms. Plus all of the super strength and all of that jazz.

Solidus Snake has the exoskeleton and the decades of combat experience. His exoskeletal frame can deflect projectiles, grants him superstrength and other abilities in addition to being of the Big Boss lineage, and has the two super energy katanas that cut through stuff like crazy.

Jack Krauser is the Special Forces soldier implanted with the Las Plagas variant which gives him the super speed and super strength and super durability including bullet dodging and crushing stone. I haven't finished the Resident Evil 4 Remake, but he's still a bullet sponge, especially if you don't hit him in the right areas.

And PRESIDENT ARMSTRONG has nanomachines son.

One Custodes is individually more powerful (or faster) than any single member of this team? :unsure:

I was asking how many Custodes it would take... not that ten thousand would overwhelm them.

Also keep in mind they're attacking a White House filled with mook Secret Service Agents.

And that this isn't about overwhelming. I'm asking how many Custodes it will take... not that "Custodes will overwhelm them." Yes... if you get enough chipmunks I'm sure it'll overwhelm them. :p

How many custodies to take down a primarch? Cause Armstrong is around there, also war machine/ iron Patriot if we use comic versions could probably stomp the custodies.

Comic Version of US Agent (so Captain America level physical feats but not as willful/skilled/experienced).

MCU Version of Iron Patriot/War Machine.
 
Any primary besides Lorgar would wipe the floor eoth everyone here.
I say besides Lorgar because he is the worst fighter of them all.

Custodes armt even able to beat Primearchs. AFAIK.
Armstrong isn't even that strong compared to one.

I would say... let's just say a single squad of them. So 4 or 5 custodes just to be safe

What are some strength feats of primarchs? I know Gullah threw a few tanks. But metal gear goes above that early game Raiden threw a 9000 ton metal gear around the size of a warhound titan. He picked it up and threw it, this was Raiden before he got his ass beat by Armstrongs dragon who Armstrong is stronger than. Senator Armstrong will murder 5 custodies like they are blind retarded kittens.
 
The Custodes were built to take down Space Marines entire squads of them. They are good enough, and used to fighting things that are stronger or as strong as them. I don't think Armstrong would ever land a hit they're that good at close combat...the centuries and millenia of experience matter.

The Iron Patriot is likely the biggest single threat simply because of his speed and flight. Really, that just means he eats a crap load of Custodes Bolter fire until he's forced to close with the Custodes b/c they've entered the White House. Then he's just dead. Custodes power weapons will cut him to ribbons, and he won't be able to deal with their speed in close. Of course, they could just peel his armor off him if he really makes the Custodes angry.

US Agent, will likely get some hits in b/c he's a cagey fighter, but he's outclassed in strength, speed, agility and endurance. He shield MAY be somewhat effective, but he goes down quick 1v1 against any Custodes.

Frank Horrigan...oh goody, the Custodes get to kill another mutant. He will likely be strong enough to hurt the Custodes. Their weapons will likely dice him up, and their bolters will hurt Horrigan a lot, if they don't kill him outright.

Snake is likely the their only true challenge in Close Quarters combat. His blades will be treatening, but they won't cut apart the Custodes weapons nor autopenetrate their armor. Snake's exoskeleton will likely be of some defense against the Custodes weaponry, but not enough. The Custodes will likely find the chinks and poke something vital. Again, centuries of close combat training and warfare to refine their capabilities...

I don't know Jack Krauser much at all. From your description he'd also pose at least a speed bump against the custodes...potentially even the ability to kill one. Really just depends on how durable he is compared to power blades and heavy bolt ammunition.

What really screws the pooch for the heroes 6 is that they will not be able to comprehend how well organized and orchestrated the Custodes will act in order to defeat them. Custodes squads go through so much training together that they often don't need to communicate with each other in order to gain the benefits of near-perfect cooperation.

It won't be a 1v1 fight anywhere in this. It'll likely be multiple Custodes vs a single member of the Heroes 6.

As for the secret service, they are a nothing burger in this fight.
 
Okay realistically since there's no limit I'd argue twelve WELL equipped Custodes should do it.

Two for Frank Horrigan, one suppresses/distracts at range while the other flanks with a power weapon for the OHK.

US Agent gets overwhelmed by two Custodes, he's barely a match for one.

Two for Snake same as above

Two for Rhodes, his fire power is good but with their speed he only kills one and the rest will be moving at wank speed.

Krauser gets lucky and kills one maybe even two.


This leaves around 8-7 left.
For Armstrong they use a warp grenade to BFR him or attack him from different angles at once with power weapons to chop off his limbs.

What's the fuse like on a Warp Grenade? Steven Armstrong was a Division One College Football Player, he could very likely swat any projectile back into the face of anyone chucking a grenade at him now that he's been superhumanly enhanced by nanomachines son. And the Custodes millenium of experience won't help them since they never played Division I ball. They wouldn't see it coming until it's too late. Top level quarterbacks don't see the deflection from a top tier Linebacker until it's too late after all.
