Given that ADB is on record saying the sole reason it didn't happen sooner is because the Custodes miniature line was too close to production to add any female models, no. And it noticeably competes with Sisters of Silence anyways.
>And it noticeably competes with Sisters of Silence anyways.

The issue is that there is a track record of over a decade with very nearly zero instances of such a thing being an honest creative decision. New IPs with female characters from the start have leeway on such a matter due to the historic apathy about it established by the likes of Samus and Lara Croft, but inserting them in areas they were previously absent from has virtually all visibility of it be paired with ham-fisted political messaging, often with deliberate effort at demeaning aspects of the prior audience.
And the marketing reasoning makes little sense for 40k since there's already quite a long list of options going VERY close to the top with the likes of Lelith Hesperax, Saint Celestine, and Shadowsun. Meaning that you're courting a very small group of entryists only satisfied by giving it full headline position, who have a track record of being flaky tourists spending little to nothing. As opposed to the turbogrogs going full shitfit over this being a sizable portion of the whales that unfailingly spend thousands each release cycle.
Woke morons destroy everything you touch. Female stormcast are just as cringe and dumb as this will be. Muh strong female is just a fantasy conjuration.
At the end of the day it's just lame and tiresome and nothing you say will change that. You think you "own" people by making their hobbies garbage but after people get all their whinging out people move on and it dies. Look at comics, Starwars, Roosterteeth, ect.
The problem is you're under the delusion that it's "realistic". This is how REAL women are. That's why they can't even be hot or attractive, they need to look like your average woman.
I'm all for female space warriors, but if we're already in the realm of fantasy then get rid of this "representation" mindset.
Okay, wrong and cringe. >Why would female ones be.
So does realism matter or not? Make female super soldiers is moronic, why waste the time and resources when a male body would be objectively superior? A giant muscles up female is just as unrealistic as a hot looking one. Lot's of females in the military are very attractive. So there's zero reasons for them to not be attractive.

It would look better. These gross masculine female designs are just objectively terrible and lame looking. You're making an argument from realism when what you're asking for isn't realistic or even very good from a design perspective. No one likes characters like what you're asking for except people on twitter. This is the "go watch porn" fallacy. A conventionally attractive female character is just more appealing, and it's not coombate to just have a female that looks attractive and decent looking. I'm not asking for platekini shit.

That's not a good thing. It's terrible characterisation. 40k's initial appeal, despite the overthetop tragicomic satire, was a relatively realistic take on human psychology in extreme conditions. Lots of men on sailing ships type drama.
It makes the injection of "women" ie weak men with their sexual parts filed off and a female name added, rather than actual women, in the characters a glaring departure in the newer books.

Yeah, and as the playerbase grew up and started reading the mid novels BL shilled to them you can chart the development and digressions in the setting at length.

>That's not a good thing. It's terrible characterisation.
No it’s not. You’re looking at a macro summary devoid of the context of the nuances in the 40k setting. 90% of 40k stories involve the same story beats between unfathomable evil/ignorance/zealotry and suffering. Everything in between that is the reason to read any book. A characterization depending on the fact that you’re a woman in a setting where the vast majority of places in it that fact is irrelevant as long as you’re human. Culture is a bigger measurement of characterization and its greatest one between the gay space marines and the imperial guard and the evil gay space marines. The Psyker who’s a woman is going to have a characterization dependent and a result of her being a Psyker and weather she was kidnapped by the black ships not her being a woman
Read Witchfinder or bringer or whatever it’s called btw. It’s the only fricking time GW remembered that the imperium is actually built on Psykers and should have stories about them

This is why exo-suits are always superior. You can just teach someone to use them and slap anyone in them.
Also, the opening of the exo-armor to reveal a sweaty body is always hot.
The reason you morons like "girlbosses" is because you're trying to break social norms by portraying women "exactly like a man" and stuff. Look how heckn' badass and strong women are and can be! All in an attempt to, as you guys constantly say you are doing, change the culture. That's why it's dumb, because being girlbosses or manly warriors is just never going to happen no matter how much you shill it. And it's lame as frick to put in fiction and no one likes it. The only reason people pretend to like is because it signals to their political values not because it's good.You're also conflating fantasy as a genre with any delusion people make up in their heads.

>Pretending men and women are the same always has and always will be moronic.
40k isn't reality and isn't meant to emulate it at all.
It's a fantasy scifi setting.
My favorite thing about 40k fans is when they forget it’s a Space Fantasy setting high on crack in a trench coat pretending to be a hard sci fi setting
I mean, Erda was hamfisted in the story and her condition as a woman was central to the story in relation to Big E.
Except, ironically, her addition to the story means that the scattering of the Primarch qnd eventually the Horus Heresy is due to a woman throwing an emotionally driven tantrum.

Well that's the problem, women don't do the same things guys do and girlbosses are moronic. We want hyper masculine space warriors, not this dumb shit. Keep coping by calling actual fans secondaries though.

lol there's sisters of battle and sisters of silence and shit. WH40k has above average female representation, and unlike most other military fiction a lot of the soldiers are female canoncially.
The issue I take with this is that any brotherhood must be subverted and become a personhood, and every sisterhood remains. It's lame. There's sisterhoods, I want boys clubs too
>military fiction
40k is a space fantasy setting about praying to your computer so that it doesn’t kill you and send your soul to super hell to be eaten by mega Cthulhu Satan Lucifers the same dimension you use to send emails btw it’s not a fricking Tom Clancy setting and it’s sure as frick not hard sci-fi

Well to start 40k is a space fantasy setting about a galactic empire by humanity for humanity exclusively, not some military setting for you to inaccurately jerk off to and get mad when someone points its out. It’s my fricking fault the fantasy setting is a fantasy? And you’re moronly cleaving to terms not applicable when the setting does not give a frick? You think this fricking shlock is what you’d be reading from authors and a company concerned with accurate military fiction? And not vibes? As a 10 foot tall super soldier moves at the speed of sound doing wuxia martial arts to tap into his genetic powers given to him by literal magic science to kill fricking literal demons powered by literal fricking Magic from Cthulhu Super Hell? The same fricking setting that refuses to not beat you over the head with a metal pipe about how all the imperium explicitly gives a frick about is being human and worshipping the Emperor by dying and suffering for him? why the frick do you think a setting where humanities only worth to the powers that be is that you die and suffer ignorant and killing everything that isn’t human and other has women doing killing and being ignorant too? Wait let me guess DEI and Da Joos because the space fantasy setting isn’t like real life. what am I forgetting here? Besides you not knowing what the frick your talking about?

Let's do it this way, morono. Point out where, at any point, I ever said WH40k having above average female representation is a bad thing. I said it as a fact because it is a fact.
My point was (and still is, your lack of reading comprehension doesn't change this) that I take issue solely with how factions that were previously explicitly stated to be male only are now having females introduced to them for seemingly no reason. It'd be like saying the sisters of silence actually did have men after all.

The only thing he won is having daddy issues. Watch as the whole thing gets retconned and memoryholed once societal trends go the other way, because corporate entities stand for one thing and that's profit.
I've always headcanoned that Custodes were the Emperor trying to recreate the Men of Gold & so it would stand to reason he would have female ones, even if they didn't have a significant military presence
Given that ADB is on record saying the sole reason it didn't happen sooner is because the Custodes miniature line was too close to production to add any female models, no. And it noticeably competes with Sisters of Silence anyways.

There needs to be Daddy Emperor fricking e-girlstodes R34 comics and biggus dickus troonstodes and golden mommydoms being spammed *constantly* at GW's socials, at the socials of BL authors, fricking everywhere, until it's common enough that someone can "tip off" the Daily Mail or similar outrage merchants about how a beloved Bri'ish icon has been infested with perverts.
GW says their audience isn't their fans, it's Random Middle Class Mum doing birthday/christmas shopping - okay fine, so we have to make every wokeslop change GW make so fricking toxic to that kind of person that GW actually start to worry about it having an impact.
I wish i could care about this, but i dont because 40k has been shit for far to long for me to give a shit.
GW bet on Fair weather fans and Covid bucks, which i think is going to be a bad bet in the long run imo.
Oh well, ill still play older edtiions, ill still play HH, and TOW.
I have a friend at work who got into the lore through youtube and tiktok. Ive explained over and over how they destroyed the setting by advancing the timeline. He doesn't get it though.

He's a good guy but hot damn I hate secondaries with a passion.
There’s isn’t a line that says women are Custodes now or there’s been some. It’s just a story with a she pronoun talking about the Custodes. Literally that’s it
This being 40k you have to stick your head up your ass and start crying because the setting doesn’t conform to the schizophrenic idea of the setting people have in their heads so yeah

There's a comment i saw to the effect of all Custodes being males but that was down to the selection process (The first son of some noble houses) rather than an actual inability like for spacemarines so very much the sorta thing that isn't set in stone. A bit like how female monarch that were in charge instead of just the wife of the actual king are rare but not unheard of.

You know this is the test before they implement Female Marines. It's going to happen. They will shake the whole thing and implement some Age of Sigmar bullshit into 40k, but they will not dare to make another End Times (I hope), it will be some soft reboot. Emperor dies and everything changes, the Imperium of Humankind is not that grimdark and facist anymore, normies can safely play 40k without being cancelled on Xwitter and so on.

Aaron Demsky Bowden. He's the reason you constantly hear about how awesome the night lords are, and how the imperium sucks, and chaos is better. Did I mention mention the nightlords are awesome? YOU MUST AKNOWLEDGE THE NIGHTLORDS ARE AWESOME CHUD!
Also he did a decent Hellsreach story, but that doesn't have nightlords riding skateboards and doing sick tricks, so I assume Games Workshop forced him to write that for money.
I would ask you that you stay away from all the wargames I play, wherever you guys go, the subhumans are just going to follow.
But most games I play don't have a billion novels so the loregays will stay far away.
Just to clear things up for people who don't know who this is, this dude doesn't play 40k. He never collected models, all he ever does is watch the cartoons and read the wiki or watched youtube videos, and he somehow tried to force his way as a "voice" of the community.
The other side of these FSM arguments are also a tumor on my wiener, but this dude is the 40 year old version of a high school mean girl with none of the back bone.
I bet three fourths of them homies never touched the game irl, they don't realize that the story takes backseat to the plastic crack, if thre are still junkies buying models, then GW ain't hurting. If age of smegmar didn't kill the company, then these guys leaving won't change shit.

Good, cause all I see is homosexuals nagging about plastic army men, both the troons and the old guard, frick GW, let it die and fracture, then everyone can get their own little safe space to play with their toys however they want.
Wild, out of nowhere theory I pulled out of my ass but that for whatever reason makes sense in my head:
as the Cavill warhammer show is being written or talked about, the idea of Female Custodians came up, and GW decided that if Cavill wants to do it they should support it.
Including the short story where she's the current leader of the Blood Games and is planning to teleport a megabomb into the imperial palace and blow up the fricking planet?
Sure mate, she's just a janitor.
Terran janitors are the best of the best, trained and genetically enhanced to the absolute limits of gene-alchemy. Her plan is quite brilliant in fact, by exploding Terra into cinders she will never have to clean anymore because it will finally be clean, completely clean, for good
Well this is kinda sad. Normally i would have been pissed about this, but i jsut feel nothing.
Complete Apathy....well, i guess its official, i have moved on from 40k, i cant even get upset about things happening to the game/setting i don't like anymore, i officially don't care.
Its been fun posting here guys.
Judging by this thread, the discord trannies/commies are are eating well. Are you guys going to celebrate your victory over the "chuds" and actually buy a mini or is that "supporting capitalisms" too much?
I'm chuckling over the rim of my onions while I paint my new Kroot trans flag colors. And you know the ironic thing of it all? I'd never play such a shit faction as Custards no matter how many femme, queer-coded, etc. characters they put in. No one asked for this, and the only joy I get out of it is seeing how positively seething it makes incels.
Unironic communist here and I can honestly say that the online "communists" (who are just neoliberals in actuality and mostly around for the culture war) are insufferable. They don't realize that we unironically live in a society and are involved in it, and must be involved in it or die. They're usually just misguided, or stupid. They should probably actually read some more books instead of Twitter posts from idiots that also haven't read anything.
Nah, I play Guard. Don't like to collect the same armies as people in my group, mirror matches aren't fun. The one Custodes player isn't gonna be happy about this though
I play dark eldar and have been using witch elves and daughters of khaine sculpts for years because GW refuses to update our range and I like hot elves.
sounds like a you problem
I am just smiling like a lunatic and enjoying the chaos.

Oh I get your not crying and shitting yourself because it’s against the lore you just hate seeing women and want to see men. That’s fine I was just confused as to why this is a problem
Tourists who don't understand the different niches factions fill drives me insane.
Even if there were FSM at some point, they would in no way affect the Adepta Sororitas. People who play the sisters don't do it because they want FSM, they do it because they want SoB.
Now, allow me to make one thing clear: I'm fine with no FSM.
But I've always wanted Fem Custodes, because there is no reason there shouldn't be other than "we didn't make any female heads for the models."
The same reason it wouldn't make sense for there to be any male Sisters of Battle.
On the other hand, having male Sisters of Silence could be a thing, if we ever learn the reason they're only female anyways.
It's the pervasive "I'm not one of them, I'm just here among them!" social media cope >bro I hate twitter gays! >reposts twitter shit 24/7
all the people I see posting reddit shit constantly emphatize that they hate reddit, yet they all have accounts and browse it and as you can see in that cuckolds screenshot, even engage in the upvote/downvote shit. They don't realize it, but they're just the average redditor and I hope one day they will go back
It’s hard to understand because you have these models already and GW isn’t retroactively changing your army. Also imagine being a wargammer and relying exclusively on GW to supply you with new models instead of kitbashing and converting
>REEEEEEE I DONT WANT TO ENGAGE WITH THE OTHER HALF OF THIS HOBBY! GW SHOULD'VE DID THE WORK FOR ME
I don’t know what to tell you man. I appreciate you being upfront and not spending an hour pretending though. I wish that was more common on this board
Welp, wrap it up everyone. Sell your stock in Games Workshop and sell off your unwanted minis online. Get your money while you can. This is the beginning of the end for the franchise if they don't see the immediate backlash. Honestly, I know they are going to double down so they can suck that ESG score wiener. The Fire sale has begun.
People have been claiming something is the death of the franchise for fricking years. Even before Primaris, the thing that was also supposed to destroy the franchise.
Gathering Storm literally almost bankrupted Games Workshop. They literally couldn't pay people at one point. All you people have no idea what you're talking about. You are all full of shit. The ONLY reason they can try this shit now is because of the new Space Marine game and Boltgun.
So is it that there are actually female Adeptus Custodes? The gene-forged creations of the Emperor? Or is it that the title 'Custodian' doesn't just include the Adeptus Custodes? Because frankly, I hope it's the former if for no other reason than it'll cause at least a few election tourists to neck themselves.
If they're going all-in on having female Custodes models, though, that does raise the question of why the process would have a visibly female end result rather than another six foot wide hairless gorilla homie.
It would look better. These gross masculine female designs are just objectively terrible and lame looking. You're making an argument from realism when what you're asking for isn't realistic or even very good from a design perspective. No one likes characters like what you're asking for except people on twitter. This is the "go watch porn" fallacy. A conventionally attractive female character is just more appealing, and it's not coombate to just have a female that looks attractive and decent looking. I'm not asking for platekini shit.
There's plenty of spots where an attractive female makes sense. Custodes is not one of them.
In The End and the Death a number of custodians get possessed and attack the Emperor, and it's remarked that short of possession, that custodians are literally incapable of going against his will. So who's the "meat machine" now, you fricking secondary.

Are you moronic. I literally said that. I made that point, yet you yourself are arguing with realism in mind when wanting muscular female custodes. My point is it's already unrealistic so they might as well look good. God damn.
Because Custodes are actually conventially handsome/beautiful according to the books whereas for a space marines it’s literally a tossup after your body gets gigantified. Unless you’re a gay vampire
Probably the former. Custodian has never been used in a different martial/espionage context in this setting. Also the blood games
I’m still trying to figure out why Custodes with breasts are so infuriating when they’re handcrafted super special pogchamps and not recycled garbage like space marines
There’s isn’t a line that says women are Custodes now or there’s been some. It’s just a story with a she pronoun talking about the Custodes. Literally that’s it
This being 40k you have to stick your head up your ass and start crying because the setting doesn’t conform to the schizophrenic idea of the setting people have in their heads so yeah
>tfw your preferred wargame is such a social repellant that women, trannies and nonwhites will never attempt to approach it and thus can never destroy it
okay so just model each of your custodes as a man. it's literally easier than tracking down the bits to convert fem custodes anyways. who cares what you do with your guys
Shut the frick up you literal moron. You don't get a fricking thing. "hurr durr just model each of your custodes as a man". You're an actual fricking buffoon if you think that's the answer. You have the fricking thought process of a god damn gnat. I hate you.
The answer to "I only want men in my army" is to only model men in your army. That's pretty frickin' easy to do. Then you don't have any women and you have nothing to complain about.
Please, follow what the voices in your head tell you to do, they're your ancestors whispering their disgust at the modern world. Trust in them and God will keep you safe.
I hate 40k and it’s fanbase so I’m actually glad they’re doing this and I can’t wait for them to do it more because it’s pissing off a good chunk of GW paypigs. To be honest I should start some kind of petition for female space marines and for GW to create an LGBT chapter. I bet if I posted it on Reddit and discord it’d get enough signatures to actually get GW to notice
in case it's not clear, we're being raided right now. As easily exemplified here:
There's at least one other thread where I noticed it. As such, remember to not argue in good faith, they don't care. They're not interested in the hobby or otherwise being correct. Thank you.

A custodian refers to a person who has responsibility for taking care of or protecting something; a Custodes is something completely different. GW knows full well that their customers don't buy into 'woke' nonsense.
I'm a lorelet but I thought all of the Custodes were basically custom jobs started basically right after birth, so sure you could have female Custodes and I guess in 40,000 we can throw biology right out the window because of all of the stupid sci-fi shit so it wouldn't matter you'd need to put more crafting into gene-modding a woman to get to the end product that is a Custodes.
The part that gets me is that there's the Sisters of Battle and Sisters of Silence. There's two perfectly good all female factions there ready to be embraced. GW would go where the money is. If all of the people clamouring for female Space Marines would open their fricking wallets and buy Sisters then guess what? GW would strap a rocket to the Sisters' collective ass and push them straight to the fricking moon!
>There's two perfectly good all female factions there ready to be embraced
They aren't popular, nobody wants to embrace them. And they aren't female space marines either, that's an insult to space marines.
Female space marine wanters are poor nerds dude. They don’t buy models.
And the fricking losers in this thread have never played a sport. They don’t understand going to battle with the boys. They’re broken. 40K is for incel.
Everything after Rogue Trader was a mistake. Space marines being anything more than roided up conscripts welded into their armor was a mistake. Primarchs being anything more than high-ranking space marines was a mistake. Sisters of battle were a mistake. Custodes were a mistake. Newcrons were a mistake, except for The Infinite and the Divine.
Frick you all, and I'll see you tomorrow.
I'm more ok with this than I thought I would be if it ever came to pass. I guess I've actually matured a bit and come to realize that if everyone is perfected/mutated/enhanced/whatever then women could be too, theoretically. I mean, I've always argued against waifu Sisters of Battle and how ugly they should actually be because of the setting and that they shouldn't be jailbait coombait.
I do wonder if the usual suspects are gloating, though. That's pretty annoying to see, but so was the constant "YEAH BUT WHY CAN'T THERE BE FEMALE [X]??? I DID MY MODELS LIKE THAT AND THEY'RE MY MODELS SO THERE"
I did abandon 40k at 8th for HH, though, so that may have some effect.
'I will teleport a bomb into the throne room' is one of the most male brained plans it is possible to come up with. It is so direct it would have been tried earlier- and failed, because why wouldn't the Emperor be void shielded.
I think the Shield Brothers are just humouring FTM Kush, because they are polite
See the actual female heroism from Bhatoor- defiance of someone more powerful, not fighting someone twice her size to a standstill, just moral courage
It's fairly easy to read this as business as usual but with a dim troony custodes
According to your BETTERS, it is good you will drop Custodes over this, le chuds.

It's a term used by rightwingers to strawman left-leaning arguments by assuming their only retorts are ad hominem. CHUD was an 80's B movie about monsters that lived in the sewers.

Ultimately it comes down to the question of WHY they decided to suddenly make this change. Is it there to actually add something to the story or is it the result of one c**t on the staff being really right on and wanting to make changes purely to win points in his own mind? If that's the case then we're bound to see more changes that are purely aimed at being spiteful towards certain groups of players, it'll be interesting to see if the profits suffer for it
Right so the reason that Femoid space Marines are a bad idea IMO isn't OLD LORE GOOD. The reason Femoid space Marines are a bad idea is because space Marines are thematically masculine.
Marines are little kids pulled from their parents, indoctrinated and turned into killing machines by a remorseless government who see value only in their capacity for violence. While its dressed in a lot of sci fi bullshit its still a process that's been with us for thousands of years from the nigh mythical spartan traditions to 16 year old boys getting thrown into machine gun fire in some European shithole. Men have been exploited like this for millenia and its such a well worn historical fixture most of us grasp unconsciously that women have no place in it.
Sure, women have fought before but almost always by choice. Being dehumanised in this specific fashion is a fricked up and abhorrent part of the masculine experience and adding women completely ruins the vibe and only further accelerates the normiefication of space Marines.
Custards are just superhuman, they have no connection to the child they once were, they're not the angels of death, not wretched mutants deformed by the hand of an uncaring institution, not doomed heroes expending their lives in defense of a dying system, they're just taller better people.
There is nothing inherently masculine about super humans so it doesn't matter that a couple have veganas.
>that are purely aimed at being spiteful towards certain groups of players
Those certain groups of players are actively making wh40k community a hostile environment for minorities, so it's only good and right to make it clear their ilk isn't wanted.
The hobby was never hostile towards minorities till you and your vial, race bailing asses filth showed up and made a problem out of thin air where there was none to to begin with. Fishing for worthless validation from twitter parasites. I've meet more black and hispanic playing warhammer than anywhere else. They don't need your white pasty ass trying to whiteknight for them. They never asked you to and are sick of you thinking you can make decisions for them without their concent. Frick off.
Misogynistic? As shown by this thread?
Are you daft? Sisters of battle have been mention multiple times. Speaking of Sisters was an army the community as a whole fought for to bring back. And don't say LGBTQ either because Robin Williams was rocking a pride flag Eldar army way back in the 90s and everyone loved it. So stop using buzz words without even giving evidence ya twat.

This is possibly the most moronic thing I have ever read.
What I really question now is how it changes the violent, aggressive nature of future-gothic murdermachines if those violent, aggressive future-gothic murdermachines are female? A genetically enhanced killer in giga-enhanced armor with mega-weaponry is still going to murder. I get the fluff justification that people are using, but this really change anything at all? If I remember correctly from the latest fluff, Custodes are enhanced from a genetic level. Would this not be able to be done to females for whatever reason? Women, after all, are just another resource amongst untold billions.
>untold billions >only 10,000
Nah, this is the custodes number issue, given that they are such a fricking rarity that playing them on the table top is a measurable catastrophic loss if you lose any, I would think that they should only be pulled from the most reliable and consistent means of forging them. This is a further issue though because if they are such great marine killers, tyranid killers, everything killers, etc... why didn't the emperor just go ahead and make more of them given how absurdly effective they are? The primarchs and marines should have just been ignored and the custodes project should have been given say another few hundred years or so and have them be the shock troops of the great crusade. Nu-custodes lore is massive issue on multiple level
Because anyone who would have cared has already left the hobby because its been turned to shit over the last 2 editions. Even when compared to 7th, both in terms of lore, and rules.
>the Gathering Storm almost bankrupted the company
Good, cause all I see is homosexuals nagging about plastic army men, both the troons and the old guard, frick GW, let it die and fracture, then everyone can get their own little safe space to play with their toys however they want.
DESU, if they just kept supporting a older edition like 6th or 7th and made the new armies have rules sets in them as well, old guard would be fine.
because everyone knows it can be the beginning, sthey are tempting the waters >noooo!! chuds wont let their precious SM being strong kuennz!! >they already threw so much shit agaisnt primaris and those arent even inclusive >i know, lets take a not so very popular faction but too much similar to SM to insert the idea of strong women in th head of the chuds, if they dont like it we can always sweep it under the carpet because almost nobody cares about custodes' lore, but if it success, we can go further
>inb4 female custodians are developed from noble women to breed with custards(because bananas are made from noble boys and many of them have, you get it, finances) in the lore
just implementing this would fix a lot of shit.
keep the grimdark, keep the female custards and give them a reason to exist.
and it's not even objectifying women since engagements are mutal
not even breed.Just to fulfill marriage contracts and shit.
you can't just have sex with a 7ft tall giant with a magnum dong as a petite 5ft terran y'know
>breed with custards
no, emperor was clear in that super humans were not to replace humanity, they're are all just tools for mankind's defense
>her addition to the story means that the scattering of the Primarch qnd eventually the Horus Heresy is due to a woman throwing an emotionally driven tantrum.
Kek
how about fulfilling marriage contracts?
imagine you are a local lord, you engaged your daughter to some random noble guy in exchange for some shit, but now the guy is a 3 meter tall sterile supersoldier and his dad is demanding a refund.
What would you do?Its either them revoking your rights and land yourself and your daughter in the slums or bribing malcodor to augment your daughter so shes also a giant minion and marry her to the custodes
You know that none of the moronic leftoids in this thread actually play the game because you never see them in the 40k and HH generals. They are dumb discord gays and redditors who simply are glad to have more victories in their dumb culture war.
>haha it's about time 40k had females in it!
truly the most moronic take possible
you know none of them even just care about 40k as a setting because they dont know about the sisters of battle and sisters of silence and shit like that. they think this is the first female introduced to the setting or something
this is 100% discord culture war shit

You're a fricking idiot. The show was terrible after S2 and you should have just read the books. Same shit with Star Wars. I have no empathy for you or respect for your opinion
>being a star wars fan >got rekt by movies 8 and 9 >implying 7 is ok
you are no fan of anything, you just mindlessly attached yourself to some franchises probably because some said they were cool. and now you disattach yourself because others say they are not cool anymore. Grow a spine and form your own fricking opinions.
I dont give a fart about lore changes because it turned bad anyway. I dont care about custodes because they are bad anyway. But i care about models because current custodes are shit in terms of proportions. If adding girls would make it better for boys too, i am all for it. Also i like pretty girls and how sob turned better. Not as good as it could have been but better than say eldar, the elegant grace the race who got barrel chests and "i am about to take a shit right now!" pose and expression on their face to match it.
Adb is shit writer and best be ignored. It is ironic that after all these years the vampire girl novels from fantasy are still best bl thing ever did.
>dude those guys just hate the idea of women in 40k! >meanwhile sisters of battle exist and are EXTREMELY popular, probably the second most popular characters after space marines
why try this disgenuine argument over and over again? how can you still pretend the issue is misoginy
Just as with the debate about female space marines, the core problem here is that people get caught up within In-Lore reasons against or for it - the latter of which you can be sure to hear from the same people who said that lore is dumb and can be changed for femmarines that will be now persistent on there never having been an explicit statement about Custodes having to be male. I don't care and you shouldn't as well. The Space Marines are all male, because its part of their aesthetic as monastic warriors and it leaves them without the other half of humanity, which they are removed from - same goes for the Sisters of Battle. The Custodes follow the same pattern, tough reminiscent of more ancient warrior brotherhoods with the Sisters of Silence beeing their counterpart, just with them beeing more closely assosciated to begin with. This is why this is bad, its an obvious breach in the established aesthetics and theme of the faction and wether or not its kept in the details of the lore or changed is irrelevant.
ADB always wanted Femstodes, the only reason we didn't get them was, LITERALLY, they didn't have plastic heads to back it up.
And honestly, of all the reasons, that's the most fricking stupid of them all.
From the guy who went "loyalist traitors are cringe" when trying to shut down the blood ravens being thousand sons decedents despite it being a popular fan theory that still gets alluded to across multiple sources, taking his summarized words of what went down internally probably isn't the most reliable - "minis are finished and they're all male" sounds weak
>Figures clustered around the craft’s landing legs, where the ship’s great metal claws gripped the radiation-soaked dust of the wasteland. These men and women were plated in the same gold as the ship, rendered upon their bodies with painstaking artistry. My father’s guardians, Sanguinius thought. And what a thought it was, not only that a being such as his father required guardians, but that he had a father at all.
There is a thing that a lot of people don't seem to understand about retcons, is that your setting having constant retcons of established concepts is bad, especially if the changes are for political reasons and that's it. Changing the consistency of a entire setting just to make some political group happier, reveals how you don't give a shit about it. Adding new stuff to the lore to add females would be bad, but changing decades of lore just to make chuds mad is fricking evil and sets a dangerous precedent and if you don't get why making this is bad, it's over for you.
>but GW consistenly changes lore whenever they want
And that is bad of course, it doesn't make it better.
>There is a thing that a lot of people don't seem to understand about retcons, is that your setting having constant retcons of established concepts is bad, especially if the changes are for political reasons and that's it.
This, so much this, changing your lore constnatly just makes it so none of it ever matters meaning no one wants to get invested into it because it can change with the weather.
Lore should be sacred and never changed only added upon unless is a dire situation to fix a massive issue.
That doesn't establish they must be all male. It just means the imperium is a sexist shithole and maybe after recent developments decided to step up their game and stop being sexist.
>Turnip28
WOWIE! Look at those sloppy, dirty minis in vaguely WW1 uniforms and accessorized by a hobo! HAHA, they've got TURNIPS on their stuff. Isn't that wild? Man, this sure isn't a paper thin gimmick that has zero appeal as an actual game and is better suited as an art installation you can make at home by some Etsy-tier shitter sculptor who's trying to rape the corpse of Blanche's oeuvre to death.
I have been predicting this for years, I just wasn't sure if they would expand the number of Custodes so they end up everywhere, or make a similar faction of power armored elites that can accept all genders, races, and creeds as long as they are snowflake-y enough
Either way, the goal is to make a faction of futurist Stormcast Eternals who could step up and become the setting's main protagonists if Space Marines became to problematic
>Either way, the goal is to make a faction of futurist Stormcast Eternals who could step up and become the setting's main protagonists if Space Marines became to problematic

Hallelujah!
Will this sell more models?
Models?
Burgers?
Sure, I'll happily buy female custodes to supplement my current ones.
Given that ADB is on record saying the sole reason it didn't happen sooner is because the Custodes miniature line was too close to production to add any female models, no. And it noticeably competes with Sisters of Silence anyways.
SoS are a soulless model line anyway.
Well, that's kinda the point.
Yes
>And it noticeably competes with Sisters of Silence anyways.
If all the flavor of space marines don’t compete I don’t see how this does considering they have two completely different armor designs and silhouettes
Why not just say the SoS are part of the Custos army list by default? It would have solved this made up meme of a problem then and there.
They are. Sisters of Silence are in the Custodes codex and have the faction keyword.
Yes
I swear on my fricking life I’ll buy the first fricking female Custodes I see.

Why are incels like this?
Women bad, even mentioning them is the death-knell of the hobby. Obviously.
Why no female sisters of silence then? Being a blank isn't gender specific.
homosexual.
Are you going to read that again?
The issue is that there is a track record of over a decade with very nearly zero instances of such a thing being an honest creative decision. New IPs with female characters from the start have leeway on such a matter due to the historic apathy about it established by the likes of Samus and Lara Croft, but inserting them in areas they were previously absent from has virtually all visibility of it be paired with ham-fisted political messaging, often with deliberate effort at demeaning aspects of the prior audience.
And the marketing reasoning makes little sense for 40k since there's already quite a long list of options going VERY close to the top with the likes of Lelith Hesperax, Saint Celestine, and Shadowsun. Meaning that you're courting a very small group of entryists only satisfied by giving it full headline position, who have a track record of being flaky tourists spending little to nothing. As opposed to the turbogrogs going full shitfit over this being a sizable portion of the whales that unfailingly spend thousands each release cycle.

You’ll never believe what genre AoS and 40k is. I’m scared to tell you
The problem is you're under the delusion that it's "realistic". This is how REAL women are. That's why they can't even be hot or attractive, they need to look like your average woman.
I'm all for female space warriors, but if we're already in the realm of fantasy then get rid of this "representation" mindset.
homie What
Male Custodes aren't hot, why would female ones be?
They're giant genetic freaks of muscle.
>Male custodes aren't hot
Okay, wrong and cringe.
>Why would female ones be.
So does realism matter or not? Make female super soldiers is moronic, why waste the time and resources when a male body would be objectively superior? A giant muscles up female is just as unrealistic as a hot looking one. Lot's of females in the military are very attractive. So there's zero reasons for them to not be attractive.
I don't mind them being hot. But they shouldn't look like skinny small supermodels. They should be just as muscular and built as the male Custodes. It would be moronic otherwise.
If they're built like a man they aren't going to be hot. Female custodes is moronic in the first place so why not have them be hot. a woman is just never going to have the muscle mass or shoulders of a man.
Male custodes are built to be strong genetic freaks of muscles. Why shouldn't the female custodes?
Why make female custodes at all? A female body will never have has much muscle as a male one, they don't even have the bone structure for it. Their bodies don't produce enough testosterone. So it's already unrealistic.Them being hot would look cooler.
>Them being hot would look cooler.
Not everything has to be coomer bait. If it bothers you so much buy some infinity models and paint em gold.
It would look better. These gross masculine female designs are just objectively terrible and lame looking. You're making an argument from realism when what you're asking for isn't realistic or even very good from a design perspective. No one likes characters like what you're asking for except people on twitter. This is the "go watch porn" fallacy. A conventionally attractive female character is just more appealing, and it's not coombate to just have a female that looks attractive and decent looking. I'm not asking for platekini shit.
Concubines. Think about it. Same reason the Sisters of Silence are silent. Emps wasn't waging some complex warp game he just didn't want to hear women talk.
Femcustodes are obviously pandering, but they're a relatively sane kind of pandering compared to the usual crap.
>I love this post because every single story of 40k involving a woman has the woman doing literally the exact same thing a guy would do
That's not a good thing. It's terrible characterisation. 40k's initial appeal, despite the overthetop tragicomic satire, was a relatively realistic take on human psychology in extreme conditions. Lots of men on sailing ships type drama.
It makes the injection of "women" ie weak men with their sexual parts filed off and a female name added, rather than actual women, in the characters a glaring departure in the newer books.
>40k's initial appeal, despite the overthetop tragicomic satire, was a relatively realistic take on human psychology in extreme conditions.
What? No I just wanted to paint aliens with big fricking guns.
>40k's initial appeal, despite the overthetop tragicomic satire, was a relatively realistic take on human psychology in extreme conditions.
The initial appeal of 40k was screaming orks hitting screaming super soldiers with their cars while both shot 9001 RPM machine guns, gay.
Where the frick do these people come up with this shit?
Yeah, and as the playerbase grew up and started reading the mid novels BL shilled to them you can chart the development and digressions in the setting at length.
Contrast bolter porn like Blood Gorgons with neo-40k like Dawn of Fire. The former is unashamed pulp, yet the characterization and plots are heads above the current fare.
>That's not a good thing. It's terrible characterisation.
No it’s not. You’re looking at a macro summary devoid of the context of the nuances in the 40k setting. 90% of 40k stories involve the same story beats between unfathomable evil/ignorance/zealotry and suffering. Everything in between that is the reason to read any book. A characterization depending on the fact that you’re a woman in a setting where the vast majority of places in it that fact is irrelevant as long as you’re human. Culture is a bigger measurement of characterization and its greatest one between the gay space marines and the imperial guard and the evil gay space marines. The Psyker who’s a woman is going to have a characterization dependent and a result of her being a Psyker and weather she was kidnapped by the black ships not her being a woman
Read Witchfinder or bringer or whatever it’s called btw. It’s the only fricking time GW remembered that the imperium is actually built on Psykers and should have stories about them
While your post is still pretty stupid, I appreciate that you didn't use the phrase: "The indomitable spirit of man"
This is why exo-suits are always superior. You can just teach someone to use them and slap anyone in them.
Also, the opening of the exo-armor to reveal a sweaty body is always hot.
Agreed
The reason you morons like "girlbosses" is because you're trying to break social norms by portraying women "exactly like a man" and stuff. Look how heckn' badass and strong women are and can be! All in an attempt to, as you guys constantly say you are doing, change the culture. That's why it's dumb, because being girlbosses or manly warriors is just never going to happen no matter how much you shill it. And it's lame as frick to put in fiction and no one likes it. The only reason people pretend to like is because it signals to their political values not because it's good.You're also conflating fantasy as a genre with any delusion people make up in their heads.
>everybody actually agrees with me actually i'm very right and my opinion is the most popular actually

Yeah, most people hate woke shit that's why it fails most of the time. Cope lmao.
Our society is literally the human version of the Mouse Utopia / Behavioral Sink.
Right and wrong remain whether you agree with them, degenerate.
>ZOMG this is LITERALLY like my pop science thing!!!
You are on the same level as a marvelslopping redditor and should commit suicide
Every word out of my mouth is tantamount to the sanctified words of God. You people are insincere degenerates that have to be isolated from the rest of us because you cannot self-govern yourselves. You will literally destroy everything that you can. We are not equals, I am far greater than you.
>40k is a space fantasy setting
>REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
What the frick are you talking about? stop letting the voices in your head take control
They know this, they know it's agenda. They just don't care. They will gaslight that actually most people agree with them and their stuff is totally cool and fun. They make excuses for every failure. Granted 40k's downfall is more about GW's shit rules and other moronic decisions like getting rid of legion contemptors. Going woke is just because their british.
My agenda is for secondaries to keep their schizophrenic version of the 40k setting in their head so I stop having to come to the front page and see you morons complain about a setting you haven’t liked since you were a child
Could just ignore and hide threads. It’s that minus symbol on the top left next to the image file name
I do the only time I have to engage with these shitters and watch them switch constantly between seething and pretending to be moronic is at work. This thread is going to cease to exist in my head in about 20 minutes
You will NEVER be a woman and you are the lowest form of life.

How are women queer?

Women are gay.
I hope this is real, 40k has been a dead gay raped corpse since primaris, so the more aggressively they frick it up, the funnier it gets to make fun of gays who keep playing current edition.

I love this post because every single story of 40k involving a woman has the woman doing literally the exact same thing a guy would do in the story but hear everyone tell it 40k is being raped and defiled because a woman is doing the genociding and bolter porn and having screeds of paragraphs dedicated to making sure you understand how bad it is to be anyone in the imperium. Anyone pretending otherwise is a secondary screaming for attention with an inability to read Black Library and 40k’s 3rd grade level material
Your picture doesn’t even agree with you there’s a difference between
>they’re all X because
And
>they’re all X
>every single story of 40k involving a woman has the woman doing literally the exact same thing a guy would do in the story
Yes because that's moronic.
Pretending men and women are the same always has and always will be moronic.
Dumb frick.
>Pretending men and women are the same always has and always will be moronic.
40k isn't reality and isn't meant to emulate it at all.
It's a fantasy scifi setting.
My favorite thing about 40k fans is when they forget it’s a Space Fantasy setting high on crack in a trench coat pretending to be a hard sci fi setting
I mean, Erda was hamfisted in the story and her condition as a woman was central to the story in relation to Big E.
Except, ironically, her addition to the story means that the scattering of the Primarch qnd eventually the Horus Heresy is due to a woman throwing an emotionally driven tantrum.
>her addition to the story means that the scattering of the Primarch qnd eventually the Horus Heresy is due to a woman throwing an emotionally driven tantrum.

Well that's the problem, women don't do the same things guys do and girlbosses are moronic. We want hyper masculine space warriors, not this dumb shit. Keep coping by calling actual fans secondaries though.
>its cope to recognize 40k fans don’t and can’t read
My mistake
It's not a property for women and you can frick off. I literally do not need justification other than that. Not everything has to be for you, you cancer
>it’s gay to include women
This is every other post in this thread. /tg/ rules.
I’m glad it’s sticking to the totally gay subject instead of deviating like every other board
>WH40k didnt include women
why are newbies so fricking obnoxious? Go leave or whichever reddit you came from if all you care about is discussing politics you moronic homosexual
>pretending that the issue is including women
lol there's sisters of battle and sisters of silence and shit. WH40k has above average female representation, and unlike most other military fiction a lot of the soldiers are female canoncially.
The issue I take with this is that any brotherhood must be subverted and become a personhood, and every sisterhood remains. It's lame. There's sisterhoods, I want boys clubs too
>military fiction
40k is a space fantasy setting about praying to your computer so that it doesn’t kill you and send your soul to super hell to be eaten by mega Cthulhu Satan Lucifers the same dimension you use to send emails btw it’s not a fricking Tom Clancy setting and it’s sure as frick not hard sci-fi
Are you going to do anything but cry about your setting being consistent?
I'm going to continue to be objectively correct. Objectively, you people are deviations due to poor genetic and mental health. On average, you have smaller amygdalas and thus your fear-reward centers are defective. It's why I could give you literally perfect data and you still come to the wrong conclusion, because you're literally moronic. The only real solution is the isolation and oppression of you people because you're out-group preferring traitors. There's no way to fix you and thus no reason to argue with you in good faith.
Post pics. Now.
Oh you’re the guy LARPing my fault didn’t mean to interrupt your theatre you’re doing a great job
Ummmm achkully your soul is only sent to super hell if you didn’t love the emperor enough

Ok? Nice rant, nboody said anything to the contrary. It includes militaries and it's fiction. I didn't say it's a ww2 drama.
Did you have anything relevant to say?
>Nice rant, nboody said anything to the contrary
Brother you have literally never touched a single military fiction book if you genuinely think any part of 40k fiction is concerned with that before any of its other facets and only a moron would bring that up in consideration of the fact that women exist
Black person I did not even know military fiction is a proper genre. I was trying to say unlike most fiction that includes military settings. Are you happy now, you pedantic little autist?
>I’m just talking out my fricking ass for no reason
Very happy sorry I thought words and definitions had meaning didn’t mean to upset you
Are you genuinely moronic? Seriously how low is your IQ? I explained twice what I meant nad you're still whining that I used a wrong word?
how about you explain what exactly was wrong about what I said, ignoring semantics? WH40k has an unusual amount of female representation in its military settings to begin with. How is this change, I quote the post I was replying to:
>including women
exactly? Are you just a bad faith homosexual arguing for the sake of argument?
>WH40k has an unusual amount of female representation in its military settings
Well to start 40k is a space fantasy setting about a galactic empire by humanity for humanity exclusively, not some military setting for you to inaccurately jerk off to and get mad when someone points its out. It’s my fricking fault the fantasy setting is a fantasy? And you’re moronly cleaving to terms not applicable when the setting does not give a frick? You think this fricking shlock is what you’d be reading from authors and a company concerned with accurate military fiction? And not vibes? As a 10 foot tall super soldier moves at the speed of sound doing wuxia martial arts to tap into his genetic powers given to him by literal magic science to kill fricking literal demons powered by literal fricking Magic from Cthulhu Super Hell? The same fricking setting that refuses to not beat you over the head with a metal pipe about how all the imperium explicitly gives a frick about is being human and worshipping the Emperor by dying and suffering for him? why the frick do you think a setting where humanities only worth to the powers that be is that you die and suffer ignorant and killing everything that isn’t human and other has women doing killing and being ignorant too? Wait let me guess DEI and Da Joos because the space fantasy setting isn’t like real life. what am I forgetting here? Besides you not knowing what the frick your talking about?
Okay then where is their BMWs?
Necromunda and that one fricking planet in the DH rpg
And? Where is BMW as dedicated transport?
Why are you so fricking moronic? Do you not comprehend the words I am speaking?
Let's do it this way, morono. Point out where, at any point, I ever said WH40k having above average female representation is a bad thing. I said it as a fact because it is a fact.
My point was (and still is, your lack of reading comprehension doesn't change this) that I take issue solely with how factions that were previously explicitly stated to be male only are now having females introduced to them for seemingly no reason. It'd be like saying the sisters of silence actually did have men after all.
I hit send too early so let me append: the reason I'm even saying this is because the other anon (maybe you maybe not you) was going on a rant about how this change
>includes women into the setting
which it clearly fricking doesn't because the setting already had more women representation than most other settings. WH40k was never in need of misandrist cleansing, there's already tons of female characters, even all female factions that are toe to toe with space marines in terms of popularity and have cool shit. This is completely pointless pandering
Anon they’re doing this because men aren’t allowed to have their own spaces. Only male factions will be changed while the all female factions will remain the same
It’s about taking away from men, they call it “breaking your toys”
Okay but what about BMW? Why are you so bigotted against Bavarian cars?
Nice bait almost got me
You people are extremely feminine and it shows because you literally cannot help yourselves but to bring up sex. You're freaks and it's not normal.
>>Love when secondaries pretend to care some of the best LARPing you’ll find on this website
I own many times more models than you could ever hope to and he is absolutely correct
The only thing he won is having daddy issues. Watch as the whole thing gets retconned and memoryholed once societal trends go the other way, because corporate entities stand for one thing and that's profit.
finally bringing back female marines from the rogue trader era of the game?

>BROTHERHOODS BAD

>calling women "c**toids"
That's it. I think I've had enough Ganker for a good long while.
I'm personally a fan of "Foids"
It's a take on 'moids' which is how misandric women refer to men in their many many uncriticised, actively promoted online feminist spaces.
But you'd probably never cry about *that* would you?
Thank god for the iran attack, enjoy being drafted moid.
You know trannies are still ok the draft right…?
No moid is taken from foid you fricking moron, women are incapable of coming up with anything original
Fullmetal Alchemist, arguably the best manganime of all time, was crafted entirely by a woman.
Read
I've always headcanoned that Custodes were the Emperor trying to recreate the Men of Gold & so it would stand to reason he would have female ones, even if they didn't have a significant military presence
Now I get to hear about this dogshit for weeks and how "Cool" it is from secondaries.
>not a single piece of lore says custodes have to be male though!
Im just gonna go find a hobby based in South Korea or the middle east I guess.
If you were still invested in GW IP after AoS and Primaris, you deserve the humiliation rituals
>ADB Won
So everyone else lost. Impressive.
Is he doing this on purpose to make the imperium look worse since he only likes chaos?
Is this just a long troll job, like what he pulled with "Master of Mankind"?
When do the wheelchair marines replace dreadnoughts?
After all SoB come out of the closet. Or maybe after the Female Marines, I don't know for sure.
I thought it would be after the Sisters of Battle admits to having Trans members.
The Chaos Gods laugh!
Wheelchair marines have been part of the setting for decades. They use them to train recruits.
Name one singular reason a custodes couldn't be in a wheelchair either.
I mean like.... why?
>gigantic female dommy mommy
frick off
Because it scores reddit points
that's it. That's the reason
>dommy mommy
this shit is such a "I'm gay but not out of the closet yet" thing. Those people want to be sodomized by a tall, broad shouldered, muscular and masculine individual, but it's ok because in this particular fantasy that individual is actually totally female and the penis is made of rubber. Ok man.
Femdom isn't just pegging, there exist penis-in-vegana forms.
equating muscle mommy shit to femdom is daring
"Dommy mommy" very much entails femdom, the woman in question being a giantess does not change negate the explicit statement of dominant role.
>entails
>equates
spot the difference
there's gay kinds of femdom and there's non gay kinds of femdom, dommy mommy and pegging fall in the gay category
"Dommy mommey" =/= "pegging".
"Femdom" =/= "pegging".
The initial statement had nothing to do with pegging, without which
makes no goddamn sense. Sexual submissiveness is not homosexual behavior, no matter how much the sissy porn mindbroke you.
nobody who likes "muscle mommies" doesn't want to be pegged, it's a pretense
I don't want to be pegged, I want to have genetically superior offspring.
And a partner who can fight me properly.
Yeah ok just admit to being gay
>I want a partner who is on the physical fitness level of a man
>but I'm NOT gay okay?
lol
every time
>it’s gay to want to frick women
Least Homosexual 40k fan
Yes. Can I have one faction full of muscled men without women trying to force their way in for once? Jesus christ, I want to coom too.
I am being completely unironic.
What kind of stupid shit are you on about? Are GW going to kick down your door and retroactively change your models? Just stop being gay
have a nice day, you stupid fricking homosexual. I hate you. I hate everything you are to the depth of your soul. You are a black entity through your core. You are vile, disgusting, and a joke of a being. I would call you a joke of a human being, but you don't deserve the moniker of man in any form. You are a vile creature. Take a shotgun and put it to the bottom of your chin, let it sit there for a few hours. Eventually you will realize the world will be better without you and you'll pull the trigger, you fricking cretin.
In the 42nd millennium, there is only seethe.
Hell yeah new pasta
the 40k general thread has a few good ones too.
Wait so GW is going to kick down your door, break your knees, and then replace your Custodes?
damn that’s tough
You are so stupid, you are making our side look bad. Is this on purpose?
>our side
Frick off
Best lore written in years
Funniest thing is isn't even wrong because the spirit of subversion is demonic.
What does eating well mean exactly? They're going to get punished for subversion if they don't repent and confess their sins.
This is probably a pasta but just in case it's not:
Damn bro chill the frick out they're tiny plastic women
Unironically please touch grass.
Based, every sigmarxism troony needs to hear this on repeat for the rest of their life
>frick off
No no, we should be encouraging them now. Before it was stupid and annoying, but now GW have cucked themselves to the twittertroons the only chance we have to get this memoryholed and never referenced again is to irrevocably and unavoidably associate it with rampant perversion.
There needs to be Daddy Emperor fricking e-girlstodes R34 comics and biggus dickus troonstodes and golden mommydoms being spammed *constantly* at GW's socials, at the socials of BL authors, fricking everywhere, until it's common enough that someone can "tip off" the Daily Mail or similar outrage merchants about how a beloved Bri'ish icon has been infested with perverts.
GW says their audience isn't their fans, it's Random Middle Class Mum doing birthday/christmas shopping - okay fine, so we have to make every wokeslop change GW make so fricking toxic to that kind of person that GW actually start to worry about it having an impact.
I wish i could care about this, but i dont because 40k has been shit for far to long for me to give a shit.
GW bet on Fair weather fans and Covid bucks, which i think is going to be a bad bet in the long run imo.
Oh well, ill still play older edtiions, ill still play HH, and TOW.
The opinion of anyone with 3 digits in their IQ score.
Aw, thank you anon.
Not canon.
Nothing after the Fall of Cadia retcon and timeline advancement is canon. If you want to be real, nothing after 5th edition is canon.
I have a friend at work who got into the lore through youtube and tiktok. Ive explained over and over how they destroyed the setting by advancing the timeline. He doesn't get it though. The very definition of a secondary. Thinks it's good they brought primarchs back but can't name a single other character. It's infuriating. He's a good guy but hot damn I hate secondaries with a passion.
>He doesn't get it though. The very definition of a secondary
Sounds like a well adjusted person without a schizophrenic disconnect with 40k
>HURR YOUR IDEA OF WHAT 40K IS IS WRONG! IT'S ACTUALLY ABOUT GIRL BOSSES!!!
You're just a fricking moron defending shitty lore changes.
You have the IQ of a squig im glad you don’t understand what I'm saying I would be genuinely disappointed if you did. Thank you, truly.
>lore changes
Was there a sentence that said Custodes couldn’t be women or are you crying because women icky
there was a sentence that explicitly said it's exclusively the sons of the nobility, but didn't state why
going against that without explaining what changed is revisionism by definition
so no there wasn’t
>so no there wasn’t
There's nothing in the lore that explains why a space marine can't be wheelchair bound either, what exactly is your point?
Didn't say there was, I told you what does exist and why coming up with female custodes all of a sudden goes against the pre-established lore. If they're going to explicitly say it's only males, then suddenly a female shows up, it's justified to expect any sort of explanation or angle for how that happened.
>Was there a sentence that said Custodes couldn’t be women
Was there a sentence that said Custodes could be women?
Even if he was, that in of itself is a perfectly valid argument. Exclusivity is attractive. Not everything must serve everyone.
>Not everything must serve everyone
Tell that to the ecllisiarchy, imperial guard, inquisition, space marine serfs, administratum, imperal navy… am I forgetting somebody? Oh yeah the emperor himself.
40k is not a equalist society. There's literally entire planets were women are industrially raped. You people are fricking deranged.
There's a comment i saw to the effect of all Custodes being males but that was down to the selection process (The first son of some noble houses) rather than an actual inability like for spacemarines so very much the sorta thing that isn't set in stone. A bit like how female monarch that were in charge instead of just the wife of the actual king are rare but not unheard of.
>using analogy as argument
>Using greentext as an argument
>No u!
>yes me
You die a virgin
you'll die sad and alone at the age of 91 of a broken hip with no family around you
But enough with your projecting
IF Space marine can't be women then it makes no sense that custodese can.
>BUT COSTODESE ARE DIFFERENT!
Cope.
Also the emperor didn't want super humans replacing humanity that's another reason why they're all one sex.
I can already see how this will likely play out
>she is a custodian in the traditional sense and not the custodians that guard big e
>several anons will take ops bait before also realizing what is more likely
You know this is the test before they implement Female Marines. It's going to happen. They will shake the whole thing and implement some Age of Sigmar bullshit into 40k, but they will not dare to make another End Times (I hope), it will be some soft reboot. Emperor dies and everything changes, the Imperium of Humankind is not that grimdark and facist anymore, normies can safely play 40k without being cancelled on Xwitter and so on.
so just like all those other times they were totally going to implement fem marines but never did
>so just like all those other times they were totally going to implement fem marines but never did
Are all those other times with us in the room right now?
>You know this is the test before they implement Female Marines.
I mean, GW is a British company. If they don't implement female space marines they'll be sued under Scottish law.
anything that causes marinegays and marine-adjacentgays displeasure is good
What is ADB ?
Amazing dick butt
Aaron Something or Other, one of the main Black Library authors.
Aaron Demsky Bowden. He's the reason you constantly hear about how awesome the night lords are, and how the imperium sucks, and chaos is better. Did I mention mention the nightlords are awesome? YOU MUST AKNOWLEDGE THE NIGHTLORDS ARE AWESOME CHUD!
Also he did a decent Hellsreach story, but that doesn't have nightlords riding skateboards and doing sick tricks, so I assume Games Workshop forced him to write that for money.
Adabbon the Spoiled
ADB didn't win
I, specifically myself, won.
They made this change for me and no-one else. Frick all of you.
Chudhammer posters are saying they are going to quit. Will you do the same?
Hell no, I thank whatever rogue intern made this canon.
>Secondary clout chaser leaves hobby after gagging and choking on GW wiener for literally years.
Maybe this isn't so bad.
Playing? No.
Paying? Yes.
>quitting due to this
I mean
he is not wrong
this is just going to be the downfall of the hobby like starwars
better to jump ship at harbor than in the middle of the ocean
Imagine actually quitting a hobby because of GW lore. Never be me.
I would ask you that you stay away from all the wargames I play, wherever you guys go, the subhumans are just going to follow.
But most games I play don't have a billion novels so the loregays will stay far away.
You don't play any games.
I hope I can get some good deals on ebay from culture war tourists rage-selling their twenty models.
I already did because 10th edition was ass.
I can forgive an ass edition.
I can forgive dumb woke lore.
I can't forgive both.
Based. I can't wait for female space marines to squeeze these secondaries out of the fanbase like pus from a wound
I just went back to playing 7th ed because im a mad man.
Just to clear things up for people who don't know who this is, this dude doesn't play 40k. He never collected models, all he ever does is watch the cartoons and read the wiki or watched youtube videos, and he somehow tried to force his way as a "voice" of the community.
The other side of these FSM arguments are also a tumor on my wiener, but this dude is the 40 year old version of a high school mean girl with none of the back bone.
I bet three fourths of them homies never touched the game irl, they don't realize that the story takes backseat to the plastic crack, if thre are still junkies buying models, then GW ain't hurting. If age of smegmar didn't kill the company, then these guys leaving won't change shit.
>thre are still junkies buying models, then GW ain't hurting.
As I have already said in this thread, the Gathering Storm almost bankrupted the company. The only reason they still exist is because of their diversified portfolio. You people have no fricking clue what you're talking about.
>the Gathering Storm almost bankrupted the company
Good, cause all I see is homosexuals nagging about plastic army men, both the troons and the old guard, frick GW, let it die and fracture, then everyone can get their own little safe space to play with their toys however they want.
Tourist successfully gatekept
Wild, out of nowhere theory I pulled out of my ass but that for whatever reason makes sense in my head:
as the Cavill warhammer show is being written or talked about, the idea of Female Custodians came up, and GW decided that if Cavill wants to do it they should support it.
This is obviously a custodian in the actual modern sense, as in a janitor, not a Custodes. Don't know what all the fuss is about.
Including the short story where she's the current leader of the Blood Games and is planning to teleport a megabomb into the imperial palace and blow up the fricking planet?
Sure mate, she's just a janitor.
Terran janitors are the best of the best, trained and genetically enhanced to the absolute limits of gene-alchemy. Her plan is quite brilliant in fact, by exploding Terra into cinders she will never have to clean anymore because it will finally be clean, completely clean, for good
Well this is kinda sad. Normally i would have been pissed about this, but i jsut feel nothing.
Complete Apathy....well, i guess its official, i have moved on from 40k, i cant even get upset about things happening to the game/setting i don't like anymore, i officially don't care.
Its been fun posting here guys.
Judging by this thread, the discord trannies/commies are are eating well. Are you guys going to celebrate your victory over the "chuds" and actually buy a mini or is that "supporting capitalisms" too much?
I play Xenos.
I'm chuckling over the rim of my onions while I paint my new Kroot trans flag colors. And you know the ironic thing of it all? I'd never play such a shit faction as Custards no matter how many femme, queer-coded, etc. characters they put in. No one asked for this, and the only joy I get out of it is seeing how positively seething it makes incels.
Incels and secondaries getting ready to kill themselves over this is the funniest shit ever I love this thread
Unironic communist here and I can honestly say that the online "communists" (who are just neoliberals in actuality and mostly around for the culture war) are insufferable. They don't realize that we unironically live in a society and are involved in it, and must be involved in it or die. They're usually just misguided, or stupid. They should probably actually read some more books instead of Twitter posts from idiots that also haven't read anything.
>Unironic communist here
Please get a job and grow and change as a person.
As Marx was by his own admission a satanist, it's likely communists are glowies.
I have a job. It's unfulfilling but necessary because, as I said, we live in a society.
Nah, I play Guard. Don't like to collect the same armies as people in my group, mirror matches aren't fun. The one Custodes player isn't gonna be happy about this though
>actually buy a mini
Nah I'm fine thank you, owning the chuds is enough. I don't own a single model and likely never will.
I play dark eldar and have been using witch elves and daughters of khaine sculpts for years because GW refuses to update our range and I like hot elves.
sounds like a you problem

They're bloated, not really fat. Usually it's all air and slime. And it's not always, sometimes they're actually quite thin and emaciated.

We already have a choir boy Primarch this isn't much different.
I Don't think flamboyant and gay are the same thing. Having a primarch gay that lusts for his men is new and invigorating.

Oh I get your not crying and shitting yourself because it’s against the lore you just hate seeing women and want to see men. That’s fine I was just confused as to why this is a problem
This is just going to be a one-off thing, right? Sisters aren't going to be cast aside for more NuMarineshit, right?
Tourists who don't understand the different niches factions fill drives me insane.
Even if there were FSM at some point, they would in no way affect the Adepta Sororitas. People who play the sisters don't do it because they want FSM, they do it because they want SoB.
Or they just want babes in armor. IF FSM were a thing, theyd ditch SOB because SM are more supported with more stuff.
>all male faction must now include females
>the all female faction gets to stay the same
curious
All female faction players don't tend to be problematic and as such don't need to be told they aren't wanted in the hobby.
Now, allow me to make one thing clear: I'm fine with no FSM.
But I've always wanted Fem Custodes, because there is no reason there shouldn't be other than "we didn't make any female heads for the models."
The same reason it wouldn't make sense for there to be any male Sisters of Battle.
On the other hand, having male Sisters of Silence could be a thing, if we ever learn the reason they're only female anyways.
The fact that this is legit gonna push some people out of he hobby is fantastic, frick those people; not needed or wanted. Good job GW. !

And now please feel free to return to reddit and stay there.
It’s hard to understand because you have these models already and GW isn’t retroactively changing your army. Also imagine being a wargammer and relying exclusively on GW to supply you with new models instead of kitbashing and converting
>REEEEEEE I DONT WANT TO ENGAGE WITH THE OTHER HALF OF THIS HOBBY! GW SHOULD'VE DID THE WORK FOR ME
I don’t know what to tell you man. I appreciate you being upfront and not spending an hour pretending though. I wish that was more common on this board
The worst thing you could ever tell someone interested in 40k is to do anything with their models. You might as well have said you fricked his mother

Well as long as you keep up the entertainment, its fine.
You forgot to tip your fedora you’re not even trying
Welp, wrap it up everyone. Sell your stock in Games Workshop and sell off your unwanted minis online. Get your money while you can. This is the beginning of the end for the franchise if they don't see the immediate backlash. Honestly, I know they are going to double down so they can suck that ESG score wiener. The Fire sale has begun.
People have been claiming something is the death of the franchise for fricking years. Even before Primaris, the thing that was also supposed to destroy the franchise.
Gathering Storm literally almost bankrupted Games Workshop. They literally couldn't pay people at one point. All you people have no idea what you're talking about. You are all full of shit. The ONLY reason they can try this shit now is because of the new Space Marine game and Boltgun.
You don't have stock in GW or miniatures to sell.
I did 6 years ago.
So is it that there are actually female Adeptus Custodes? The gene-forged creations of the Emperor? Or is it that the title 'Custodian' doesn't just include the Adeptus Custodes? Because frankly, I hope it's the former if for no other reason than it'll cause at least a few election tourists to neck themselves.
Custodes were always custom made genetic freaks of humans. There's no reason for them to be locked male like Space Marines are.
Shh, you can't be reasonable here, this is Ganker, you fricking idiot!
If they're going all-in on having female Custodes models, though, that does raise the question of why the process would have a visibly female end result rather than another six foot wide hairless gorilla homie.
I doubt, if it ever gets modeled, that it would be anything beyond a headswap to a give your custodes slightly more feminine monkey faces.
Yup. It'll be like the Tau Pathfinder Killteam model. Same and indistinguishable but a couple of the heads have the female face slit.
Honestly thats how they should end up looking.
There's plenty of spots where an attractive female makes sense. Custodes is not one of them.
Secondary thinks custodes are meat machines like sm lmao
In The End and the Death a number of custodians get possessed and attack the Emperor, and it's remarked that short of possession, that custodians are literally incapable of going against his will. So who's the "meat machine" now, you fricking secondary.
Anon space marines are literal mass produced meat machines it’s about their quality not their will
>There's plenty of spots where an attractive female makes sense. Custodes is not one of them.
It's not realistic or sensible in the first place. Like I said, you're already throwing realism out the window with them.
Talking about realism and sensibility in 40k is the dumbest fricking thing you can do. Are you dumb enough to think this is hard sci fi?
Are you moronic. I literally said that. I made that point, yet you yourself are arguing with realism in mind when wanting muscular female custodes. My point is it's already unrealistic so they might as well look good. God damn.
Because Custodes are actually conventially handsome/beautiful according to the books whereas for a space marines it’s literally a tossup after your body gets gigantified. Unless you’re a gay vampire
Probably the former. Custodian has never been used in a different martial/espionage context in this setting. Also the blood games
I’m still trying to figure out why Custodes with breasts are so infuriating when they’re handcrafted super special pogchamps and not recycled garbage like space marines
So we don't have confirmation, and this thread has been a collection of incels bleeding out of their overbaddragoned anuses?
There’s isn’t a line that says women are Custodes now or there’s been some. It’s just a story with a she pronoun talking about the Custodes. Literally that’s it
This being 40k you have to stick your head up your ass and start crying because the setting doesn’t conform to the schizophrenic idea of the setting people have in their heads so yeah
>tfw your preferred wargame is such a social repellant that women, trannies and nonwhites will never attempt to approach it and thus can never destroy it
Thank god my hobby isn’t like half my life and just a hobby. I’ll never have to think about stupid shit like this
Still is where I live, lmao. Any lady that does show up was already a fricking weirdo to begin with.
okay so just model each of your custodes as a man. it's literally easier than tracking down the bits to convert fem custodes anyways. who cares what you do with your guys
Shut the frick up you literal moron. You don't get a fricking thing. "hurr durr just model each of your custodes as a man". You're an actual fricking buffoon if you think that's the answer. You have the fricking thought process of a god damn gnat. I hate you.
The answer to "I only want men in my army" is to only model men in your army. That's pretty frickin' easy to do. Then you don't have any women and you have nothing to complain about.
Bro you're actually a suicide risk at this point, I think.
Please, follow what the voices in your head tell you to do, they're your ancestors whispering their disgust at the modern world. Trust in them and God will keep you safe.
>axe entire Fantasy model lines
>do this dumb shit in 40k
I hate 40k and it’s fanbase so I’m actually glad they’re doing this and I can’t wait for them to do it more because it’s pissing off a good chunk of GW paypigs. To be honest I should start some kind of petition for female space marines and for GW to create an LGBT chapter. I bet if I posted it on Reddit and discord it’d get enough signatures to actually get GW to notice

There's at least one other thread where I noticed it. As such, remember to not argue in good faith, they don't care. They're not interested in the hobby or otherwise being correct. Thank you.
Post models.
Read:
I accept the consolation of a SHIT TON of new MOMMY CUSTODES art a decent consolation prize.
Do female custodians act like regular custodes or do they treat SM with anything other than disdain?
A custodian refers to a person who has responsibility for taking care of or protecting something; a Custodes is something completely different. GW knows full well that their customers don't buy into 'woke' nonsense.
The most rational take
I'm a lorelet but I thought all of the Custodes were basically custom jobs started basically right after birth, so sure you could have female Custodes and I guess in 40,000 we can throw biology right out the window because of all of the stupid sci-fi shit so it wouldn't matter you'd need to put more crafting into gene-modding a woman to get to the end product that is a Custodes.
The part that gets me is that there's the Sisters of Battle and Sisters of Silence. There's two perfectly good all female factions there ready to be embraced. GW would go where the money is. If all of the people clamouring for female Space Marines would open their fricking wallets and buy Sisters then guess what? GW would strap a rocket to the Sisters' collective ass and push them straight to the fricking moon!
It's moot, anon. The line was taken out of context, and now tourists are crying. Just enjoy the salt.
>There's two perfectly good all female factions there ready to be embraced
They aren't popular, nobody wants to embrace them. And they aren't female space marines either, that's an insult to space marines.
Female space marine wanters are poor nerds dude. They don’t buy models.
And the fricking losers in this thread have never played a sport. They don’t understand going to battle with the boys. They’re broken. 40K is for incel.
You're correct, the process for making Custodes is on a whole different level compared to Space Marines.
Great, now give us male Sisters of Battle.
Everything after Rogue Trader was a mistake. Space marines being anything more than roided up conscripts welded into their armor was a mistake. Primarchs being anything more than high-ranking space marines was a mistake. Sisters of battle were a mistake. Custodes were a mistake. Newcrons were a mistake, except for The Infinite and the Divine.
Frick you all, and I'll see you tomorrow.
Why is schizophrenia such a common trait among people who like to talk about 40k
Schizophrenia doens't exist. If it did the glowies wouldn't call you schizo.
They don't like it. If they liked it they wouldn't be trying to change it. They sure as shit can't shut up though, can they?
I'm more ok with this than I thought I would be if it ever came to pass. I guess I've actually matured a bit and come to realize that if everyone is perfected/mutated/enhanced/whatever then women could be too, theoretically. I mean, I've always argued against waifu Sisters of Battle and how ugly they should actually be because of the setting and that they shouldn't be jailbait coombait.
I do wonder if the usual suspects are gloating, though. That's pretty annoying to see, but so was the constant "YEAH BUT WHY CAN'T THERE BE FEMALE [X]??? I DID MY MODELS LIKE THAT AND THEY'RE MY MODELS SO THERE"
I did abandon 40k at 8th for HH, though, so that may have some effect.
I am genuinely mad at this shit, I hope it's just out of context.
'I will teleport a bomb into the throne room' is one of the most male brained plans it is possible to come up with. It is so direct it would have been tried earlier- and failed, because why wouldn't the Emperor be void shielded.
I think the Shield Brothers are just humouring FTM Kush, because they are polite
See the actual female heroism from Bhatoor- defiance of someone more powerful, not fighting someone twice her size to a standstill, just moral courage
It's fairly easy to read this as business as usual but with a dim troony custodes
According to your BETTERS, it is good you will drop Custodes over this, le chuds.
https://www.reddit.com/r/AdeptusCustodes/comments/1c39fxn/with_the_new_femstodes_revelation/kzfpwuz/
What does chud even mean? Someone who disagrees with "me?"
Another term along with fascist to mean le evil rightwinger.
Pretty much. Unlike celibacy, which is a divine attribute, chud is pretty much nonsensical.
It's a term used by rightwingers to strawman left-leaning arguments by assuming their only retorts are ad hominem. CHUD was an 80's B movie about monsters that lived in the sewers. It became a mutation of 'basement dweller'. Used very briefly by actual leftists, now entirely used by rightwingers falseflagging. If you see it being used, no matter what else their post is, you can assume it's a /misc/ tourist and ignore them appropriately. Nobody with a BMI under 25 actually uses it.
>This level of revisionism.
>Muh /misc/ made chud
lefties invented it to be their ad homnienem attack and then the right coopoted int around like 2022 or something. Shut the frick up.
You're acting like a total pseud over the concept of reappropriation lmao. wait until you learn that Black folk infact call eachother Black person and it's not a different word.
It's the newest neckbeard / virgin, and unlike what
says, like all pervious synonyms it was adopted by the Right to steal from it any offensive meaning the Left originally attributed to it. Lying sack a shit.
>Used very briefly by actual leftists, now entirely used by rightwingers falseflagging.
But nobody ever expected /misc/ gays to ever have 3rd grade reading comprehension.
You're insinuating it's a right wing thing primarily but it isn't. You guys made it and it wasn't briefe. You still use it unironically.
You are are literally a poster from R*ddit. You are literally R*ddit-spacing in your post. You're literally mad because you were called out. You started it, and now you're mad because, like everytime, it's been used against you. Literally have a nice day. You only exist because of censorship.
You're literally making things up.
Chad + Stud = Chud.

You don't understand dude, Harlequins are pathologically incapable of resisting such a golden opportunity for tomfoolery.
Ultimately it comes down to the question of WHY they decided to suddenly make this change. Is it there to actually add something to the story or is it the result of one c**t on the staff being really right on and wanting to make changes purely to win points in his own mind? If that's the case then we're bound to see more changes that are purely aimed at being spiteful towards certain groups of players, it'll be interesting to see if the profits suffer for it
Right so the reason that Femoid space Marines are a bad idea IMO isn't OLD LORE GOOD. The reason Femoid space Marines are a bad idea is because space Marines are thematically masculine.
Marines are little kids pulled from their parents, indoctrinated and turned into killing machines by a remorseless government who see value only in their capacity for violence. While its dressed in a lot of sci fi bullshit its still a process that's been with us for thousands of years from the nigh mythical spartan traditions to 16 year old boys getting thrown into machine gun fire in some European shithole. Men have been exploited like this for millenia and its such a well worn historical fixture most of us grasp unconsciously that women have no place in it.
Sure, women have fought before but almost always by choice. Being dehumanised in this specific fashion is a fricked up and abhorrent part of the masculine experience and adding women completely ruins the vibe and only further accelerates the normiefication of space Marines.
Custards are just superhuman, they have no connection to the child they once were, they're not the angels of death, not wretched mutants deformed by the hand of an uncaring institution, not doomed heroes expending their lives in defense of a dying system, they're just taller better people.
There is nothing inherently masculine about super humans so it doesn't matter that a couple have veganas.
One of the few reasonable takes I've seen on the issue.
>only further accelerates the normiefication of space Marines.
that's the goal of nu-GW
>that are purely aimed at being spiteful towards certain groups of players
Those certain groups of players are actively making wh40k community a hostile environment for minorities, so it's only good and right to make it clear their ilk isn't wanted.
The hobby was never hostile towards minorities till you and your vial, race bailing asses filth showed up and made a problem out of thin air where there was none to to begin with. Fishing for worthless validation from twitter parasites. I've meet more black and hispanic playing warhammer than anywhere else. They don't need your white pasty ass trying to whiteknight for them. They never asked you to and are sick of you thinking you can make decisions for them without their concent. Frick off.
Minorities isn't just ethnic minorities, wh40k community is also extremely misogynistic as proven by this very thread.
Misogynistic? As shown by this thread?
Are you daft? Sisters of battle have been mention multiple times. Speaking of Sisters was an army the community as a whole fought for to bring back. And don't say LGBTQ either because Robin Williams was rocking a pride flag Eldar army way back in the 90s and everyone loved it. So stop using buzz words without even giving evidence ya twat.
>I'm not a misogynist because there are women in my games! We did it Reddit!
>you must hate the inclusion of female custodes because you dont want women in your games
>but I like the sisters of battle
>y...yeah you're still a misogynist though
ok
This is possibly the most moronic thing I have ever read.
What I really question now is how it changes the violent, aggressive nature of future-gothic murdermachines if those violent, aggressive future-gothic murdermachines are female? A genetically enhanced killer in giga-enhanced armor with mega-weaponry is still going to murder. I get the fluff justification that people are using, but this really change anything at all? If I remember correctly from the latest fluff, Custodes are enhanced from a genetic level. Would this not be able to be done to females for whatever reason? Women, after all, are just another resource amongst untold billions.
>untold billions
>only 10,000
Nah, this is the custodes number issue, given that they are such a fricking rarity that playing them on the table top is a measurable catastrophic loss if you lose any, I would think that they should only be pulled from the most reliable and consistent means of forging them. This is a further issue though because if they are such great marine killers, tyranid killers, everything killers, etc... why didn't the emperor just go ahead and make more of them given how absurdly effective they are? The primarchs and marines should have just been ignored and the custodes project should have been given say another few hundred years or so and have them be the shock troops of the great crusade. Nu-custodes lore is massive issue on multiple level
this not be able to be done to females for whatever reason? Women, after all, are just another resource amongst untold billions
this not be able to be done to cripples for whatever reason? Invalids, after all, are just another resource amongst untold billions
this not be able to be done to morons for whatever reason? Morons, after all, are just another resource amongst untold billions
When you have billions to choose from you don't need to start with the worst examples for your gene magic supersoldiers
Woman custodes isn't any stranger than black custodes, i dont get the big deal
tbh kinda disappointed only one person is having a schizo breakdown. Was expecting more
Because anyone who would have cared has already left the hobby because its been turned to shit over the last 2 editions. Even when compared to 7th, both in terms of lore, and rules.
DESU, if they just kept supporting a older edition like 6th or 7th and made the new armies have rules sets in them as well, old guard would be fine.
because everyone knows it can be the beginning, sthey are tempting the waters
>noooo!! chuds wont let their precious SM being strong kuennz!!
>they already threw so much shit agaisnt primaris and those arent even inclusive
>i know, lets take a not so very popular faction but too much similar to SM to insert the idea of strong women in th head of the chuds, if they dont like it we can always sweep it under the carpet because almost nobody cares about custodes' lore, but if it success, we can go further
The problem is they are going to measure that success based on twitter response now actual fan popularity.
None of this woke shit matters because because WWIII is about to happen and that'll be the end of it.
Not sexist, just don't like 'em.
>inb4 female custodians are developed from noble women to breed with custards(because bananas are made from noble boys and many of them have, you get it, finances) in the lore
just implementing this would fix a lot of shit.
keep the grimdark, keep the female custards and give them a reason to exist.
and it's not even objectifying women since engagements are mutal
not even breed.Just to fulfill marriage contracts and shit.
you can't just have sex with a 7ft tall giant with a magnum dong as a petite 5ft terran y'know
>breed with custards
no, emperor was clear in that super humans were not to replace humanity, they're are all just tools for mankind's defense
>Erda
That was funny when they did that
how about fulfilling marriage contracts?
imagine you are a local lord, you engaged your daughter to some random noble guy in exchange for some shit, but now the guy is a 3 meter tall sterile supersoldier and his dad is demanding a refund.
What would you do?Its either them revoking your rights and land yourself and your daughter in the slums or bribing malcodor to augment your daughter so shes also a giant minion and marry her to the custodes
Amazing this is happening when the whole representation thing is imploding everywhere. GW is pretty slow to trends, though. All that bong inbreeding.
badly worded page results in a fun thread
keep up the good work ADB
You know that none of the moronic leftoids in this thread actually play the game because you never see them in the 40k and HH generals. They are dumb discord gays and redditors who simply are glad to have more victories in their dumb culture war.
see
you know none of them even just care about 40k as a setting because they dont know about the sisters of battle and sisters of silence and shit like that. they think this is the first female introduced to the setting or something
this is 100% discord culture war shit

You're a fricking idiot. The show was terrible after S2 and you should have just read the books. Same shit with Star Wars. I have no empathy for you or respect for your opinion
>being a star wars fan
>got rekt by movies 8 and 9
>implying 7 is ok
you are no fan of anything, you just mindlessly attached yourself to some franchises probably because some said they were cool. and now you disattach yourself because others say they are not cool anymore. Grow a spine and form your own fricking opinions.
I dont give a fart about lore changes because it turned bad anyway. I dont care about custodes because they are bad anyway. But i care about models because current custodes are shit in terms of proportions. If adding girls would make it better for boys too, i am all for it. Also i like pretty girls and how sob turned better. Not as good as it could have been but better than say eldar, the elegant grace the race who got barrel chests and "i am about to take a shit right now!" pose and expression on their face to match it.
Adb is shit writer and best be ignored. It is ironic that after all these years the vampire girl novels from fantasy are still best bl thing ever did.
Female species? In MY 40K???
>dude those guys just hate the idea of women in 40k!
>meanwhile sisters of battle exist and are EXTREMELY popular, probably the second most popular characters after space marines
why try this disgenuine argument over and over again? how can you still pretend the issue is misoginy
Just as with the debate about female space marines, the core problem here is that people get caught up within In-Lore reasons against or for it - the latter of which you can be sure to hear from the same people who said that lore is dumb and can be changed for femmarines that will be now persistent on there never having been an explicit statement about Custodes having to be male. I don't care and you shouldn't as well. The Space Marines are all male, because its part of their aesthetic as monastic warriors and it leaves them without the other half of humanity, which they are removed from - same goes for the Sisters of Battle. The Custodes follow the same pattern, tough reminiscent of more ancient warrior brotherhoods with the Sisters of Silence beeing their counterpart, just with them beeing more closely assosciated to begin with. This is why this is bad, its an obvious breach in the established aesthetics and theme of the faction and wether or not its kept in the details of the lore or changed is irrelevant.
sorry kid everything has to be the same. frick art direction and stylistic choices, please value inclusivity and politics in your art
>Yeah but they were never explicitly stated to NOT be in a wheel chair with downs!
>the wheelchair is part of my druid spirit
ADB always wanted Femstodes, the only reason we didn't get them was, LITERALLY, they didn't have plastic heads to back it up.
And honestly, of all the reasons, that's the most fricking stupid of them all.
From the guy who went "loyalist traitors are cringe" when trying to shut down the blood ravens being thousand sons decedents despite it being a popular fan theory that still gets alluded to across multiple sources, taking his summarized words of what went down internally probably isn't the most reliable - "minis are finished and they're all male" sounds weak
>Figures clustered around the craft’s landing legs, where the ship’s great metal claws gripped the radiation-soaked dust of the wasteland. These men and women were plated in the same gold as the ship, rendered upon their bodies with painstaking artistry. My father’s guardians, Sanguinius thought. And what a thought it was, not only that a being such as his father required guardians, but that he had a father at all.
From Echoes of Eternity. ADB already won.
Sisters of Silence are also plated in gold
I WANT TO CUM INSIDE A FEMALE CUSTODES
Get a prostitute already
Hey thanks bud! See you at the next 40K game night at the local FLGS. I'll be sure to bring all my friends.
There is a thing that a lot of people don't seem to understand about retcons, is that your setting having constant retcons of established concepts is bad, especially if the changes are for political reasons and that's it. Changing the consistency of a entire setting just to make some political group happier, reveals how you don't give a shit about it. Adding new stuff to the lore to add females would be bad, but changing decades of lore just to make chuds mad is fricking evil and sets a dangerous precedent and if you don't get why making this is bad, it's over for you.
>but GW consistenly changes lore whenever they want
And that is bad of course, it doesn't make it better.
>There is a thing that a lot of people don't seem to understand about retcons, is that your setting having constant retcons of established concepts is bad, especially if the changes are for political reasons and that's it.
This, so much this, changing your lore constnatly just makes it so none of it ever matters meaning no one wants to get invested into it because it can change with the weather.
Lore should be sacred and never changed only added upon unless is a dire situation to fix a massive issue.
Now show me the line that establishes Custodes must be all male.
you mean this one?
That doesn't establish they must be all male. It just means the imperium is a sexist shithole and maybe after recent developments decided to step up their game and stop being sexist.
we got another one
Turnip28 Chads, Our time is now.
Let the great migration begin.
>Turnip28
WOWIE! Look at those sloppy, dirty minis in vaguely WW1 uniforms and accessorized by a hobo! HAHA, they've got TURNIPS on their stuff. Isn't that wild? Man, this sure isn't a paper thin gimmick that has zero appeal as an actual game and is better suited as an art installation you can make at home by some Etsy-tier shitter sculptor who's trying to rape the corpse of Blanche's oeuvre to death.
>replying with "consume product" reaction image to a game with no product
Interesting choice.
I have been predicting this for years, I just wasn't sure if they would expand the number of Custodes so they end up everywhere, or make a similar faction of power armored elites that can accept all genders, races, and creeds as long as they are snowflake-y enough
Either way, the goal is to make a faction of futurist Stormcast Eternals who could step up and become the setting's main protagonists if Space Marines became to problematic

If the actually do that, it be hysterical on many level
