Challenge Sanguinius, gulliman, and rogal dorn (warhammer) and the legio custodes are dropped into the halo universe and tasked to make imperium teritus, can they do it?
The 3 primarchs and the entirety of the custdoes get spit out of the warp armed with the vengeful spirit and all its servitors to man the ship.
All 3 factions will react to each other according to their characteristics and what they'd do lore wise.
They are dropped right before the human - covenant war and want to make imperium teritus by either converting UNSC worlds or finding new ones. The goal is to convert at least 1000 worlds to imperial domain and have the emporer tell them he's proud of them.

Easily, but it will take a long time.
The primarchs and custodes are significantly more intelligent and educated than anyone in the setting baring halsey. Guilliman won't be afraid of making deals with king-yar pirates or elite kaidons.
The unsc heavily struggles with maintaining its control over worlds and the primarchs can play to the side of the insurrectionists for resources or worlds that simply want isolation/freedom. I'm willing to bet they can net a ton of worlds even if it's off the promise of fucking over the UEG. (It was actually the reason Spartans were made lol)
The vengeful spirit is OoM above any vessel in the modern halo setting, potentially barring a featless high charity, which I'd argue it could legitimately go against with its escort fleet, especially if it brings some unsc vessels too (boarding would be a bloodbath)
It's completely possible some custodes infiltrate the unsc or ueg political structure and ascertain spheres of influence within it.
Edit: the vengeful spirit is able to tank multiple nova canons and a significant amount of lances and macrocanons after being damaged from poor warp travel, you could throw the entirety of the unsc fleet at it and it would win. It's ~5x the size of the infinity, and if we go off the average showings of 0.7c speeds, it's faster than Mac rounds as well (0.4c). It's significantly stronger than 90% of ships in 40k

A space marine beats a spartan
A custodes is multiple times that.
A primarch is then multiple times that too.
Its a stomp. I'd argue putting just the primarchs there and theyd win given enough time

There’s not a ton of settings the Primarchs by themselves aren’t OP in - in addition to being physical menaces they are also essentially eldritch in their intelligence and charisma.

Yes.
These guys and that ship will change everything. As the Covenant conquer more human territory, these guys will gain more control of humanity. Eventually Guilliman ends up in charge and starts reorganising the UNSC. Dorn takes command of the Spirit as the flagship leading the fight against the Covenant. Sanguinius rallies humanity against the Covenant on the battlefield. The Custodes and servitors help advance human technology.
Once the warfront is stabilised, Dorn takes the Spirit deep into Covenant space and begins laying waste to every world he finds, destroying Covenant supply lines and grinding the invasion into human space to a halt.
Eventually they locate High Charity. Dorn leads a human fleet in and engaged the Covenant fleet. Meanwhile Sanguinius, and thousands of Custodes teleport on board High Charity and go to town. This ends the human Covenant war and maybe destroys the Covenant if the connecting between humanity and the Forerunners is discovered by the wider Covenant population.

Instead of advancing tech, can the custodes take names and kick ass on the frontlines?

You gave the UNSC not 1 but 3 primarchs, the custodes, and one of the best ships in 40k? they stomp.

Humanity in the HALO universe does not have a thousand worlds, as far as I remember. The Primarchs will have to first capture all existing ones, and then colonize additional worlds.
Also to add:
1) Warhammer humanity really does not like xenos
2) Warhammer humanity really does not like artificial intelligence

The UNSC has zero equivalent to the Primaecha or the 10,000. Based on what the chief is able to accomplish by himself they will absolutely clear all events necessary to save humanity from the flood and covenant. Reach will not fall.
