Was the army really that popular?
If you zoom to 6 month share price this is a nothingburger. They had one real drop at the end of last year, this is nothing in comparison.
It still is how they do most finance news
that's because finance news is a scam to manipulate the general market for the benefit of the people who own the news.
As a wealthy person who has more stock than anyone on this board, I would care.
It's true that taking a longer view always reveals gains. But that doesn't discount the short term view. GW fricked up and the hit is a reflection of that. Sucks for their shareholders.
>As a wealthy person
>A one day 1.5% drop in stock value is meaningfully notable for a company as small as GW
It is. The bigger the market cap, the bigger real value decline.
You clearly don't understand money.
You’re clearly illiterate since I was saying GW isn’t a big company.
>Not even a $5 billion company
Like 2000 people could buy a majority stake in Games Workshop by mistake and not even realize it.
would be funny to see someone accidentally buy them out one day.
>I would care if any stock I owned went up or down regularly
Then you don't own stock.
If you own stock you're one of those people who is easily manipulated into buying and selling because some media conglomerate told you so, so the wealth you feel like you're growing is regularly leached by the ultra wealthy. You're literally a thrall to vampires.
But that's if you were telling the truth. Which you aren't. At best you've got some bitcoin you're still sitting on, or a share in gamestop.
Gamestop will surge any day now
That's a lot of words to say you're poor. My Lilly stock is up 50 percent or so right now. Between crypto and stocks I average about a ten percent return each year. What are you doing with your money that's more lucrative? Other than owning land and renting to a good tenant there isn't a much better way to compound your money
Your NFTs aren't going to sell anon.
Pretty middling in popularity, people get suggested them as the cheapest complete army so lots of those about. But not an army you can really get obsessed with and buy variety like others.
People are more annoyed at the token wokeism and bending the universe backwards for the Twitter fiends who somehow get 15k likes when they say fascist bad
it's stupid obvious on Reddit as well. 20k upvotes on a thread with 20 coments to show how little engagement it is getting in a community that averages 500 users online at any given moment, with most legitimate topics getting 1k upvotes at most.
He's manipulating the graph. You should check things that seem incredible, because they always turn out to be a lie.
No but even morons can tell that this is a prelude to fem marines
Doubt it. Authors have been talking about there being Femstodes for years and years now, this is how long it takes them to pull the trigger and add them to the lore? Even if they decided tomorrow to make female space marines it would take them 20 years to make them.

The fact that you even ask that goes to show you do not understand what the fundamental issue is. How embarrassing.
>you do not know thing so you ask about thing
Not embarrassing, just honest.
It's already a very divisive army as there is a group of people, including me, who think they should have never been an army lore wise
Its Henry Cavills favorite. Which is why they targeted it, they fricking hate Cavill for being anti-woke.
40k is going the way of Star Wars.
Seems so
Good. War-kiddies deserved it for shitting up other fandoms
And that's a good thing. Star Wars is the biggest media franchise there ever was.
That's pokemon, objectively
not even close
NTA but top 5 is pretty close
Okay, but it's still the biggest sci-fi franchise and you can see there's literally no competition on that list except maybe the MCU if you loosely consider it science fiction. Why wouldn't GW ape Star Wars and try and capture the same market?
>Why wouldn't GW ape Star Wars and try and capture the same market?
Because Star Wars is already occupy that niche and GW simply doesn't have capabilities of Disney, so they cannot apply Disney policy as textbook example to follow.
They tried it with AoS to ape Blizzard and failed.
Who unironically likes Mickey Mouse?
Children.
Nah, kids these days all like Mario and the Skibby Dee Toilet
kingdom hearts fans?
I'm pretty sure Mickey is used as an umbrella for all traditional Disney cartoon animals including Donald Duck and others there.
Millennials.
The important word you said is "was". Star wars is a fricking dead franchise compared to what it used to be.
seeth
women were always custodes and marines
youre just being a gay
try getting laid
>nobody was buying female space marines then
>but they'll buy them now we're sure of it
lol women do not buy this shit
>muh dick and pussy
Get your head out of the gutter you asinine fricking piece of shit. Die in a fire, slowly.
Seethe and cope homosexual

Doesn't really matter. It might of started that way, But it set the cannon, tone and identity (which I thought progressive degens and trannies where all about) of Space Marines and Custodes. Rendering this 'gotacha!' moot and besides the point.
anon you're a little freak who doesn't know what anyone is "all about" because you live in a hole and eat shit. And when you realize that you'll stop being mad about such pointless shit.
wow the stock went down 1%, what an absolute plummet

So women are fascists?
40k isn't Fascist, it's Authoritarian.
The imperium is definitely fascist. I'm not using that as a pejorative; it's just true. Fascism is a government that takes the three principal legs of race, state, and industry and puts the other two to serving the state.
>The imperium is definitely fascist.
only if you're so brain rotten you'd call the byzantine empire or any historical monarchy "fascist", not every goddamn authoritarian regime is fascist, they're a LITERAL space empire with LITERAL bloodline nobility, imperial governors have planetary fiefdoms and are under subsector governors who are under sector governors. It's textbook feudalism. "feudalism is fascist" is certainly a possible argument, it's just a moronic one.
So it's a lot more like Imperial Japan.
Does the imperium actually award fiefs?
The Imperium is LITERALLY fascist. By every definition.
not even by every marxist definition..
Fashism is a totallitarian, collectivistic, authoritarian system that puts the state above everything else and can add anything to that mix as long as those are in.
Only germany had race as a factor and only spain as conservative (keeping the old instead of replacing it with a new).
The Imperium is a totalitarian, theocratic monarchy that puts the Godemperor and humanity before anything else. It's similar enough for mitwits to confuse it with fascism but it's closer to absolutism (so monarchy).
>totallitarian, collectivistic, authoritarian system that puts the state above everything else
That's literally communism (stalinism if you are so sensitive about insulting legacy of Marx and zero care about victims of communistic regimes during the Cold War) or national socialism. Classical fascism implies melting pot of business and state providing the first administrative resource of the latter.
Most novels and RPG books describe the Imperium as being full of commercials combines, trading houses, banking clans and private enterprises. So other than the Tithe I doesn't seem the Administratum intervenes a lot in the economy. The analogy with communism doesn't really work. The T'au may have a planned collectivistic economy though (I'm not sure)
What a coincidence! Mussolini was a failed socialist that created fascism as the next step of socialism.
Which is why modern socialists are obsessed with anti-fascism, even more than anti-capitalism.
The High Lords of Terra caim(ed) that they do. Until girlyman took over and doing just that.
But thanks to agreeing to my definition (by quoting the creator).
>What a coincidence! Mussolini was a failed socialist that created fascism as the next step of socialism.
He wasn't and fascism wasn't next step of socialism but alternative to socialism (in Mussolini/italian fascist perspective).
He literally was a socialist terrorist before (attacks on trains etc). He himself called it the next logical step to socialism (as socialism as a hoe always as meant as a stepping stone by every socialist. At last at that time). As an alternative to Communism/Bolshevism.
The German Fascists even called themselves Socialists instead of Fascists.
Not that any of this matters. Point is that the Imperium has little to do with Fascism.
>monarchy where the monarch has been incapable of giving orders for 10k years
yeah not really
'All within the state, nothing outside the state, nothing against the state.' - mussolini
No, it's not. It's pretty anarchic and only loosely held together by Imperial religion. The amount of in-fighting among the Imperial Guard is astronomical. The whole crux on what drives the Imperium forward is the fact the Space Marines exist. If they didn't exist, the Imperium would fall into billions of independent realms.
It's an empire that has an empire within it (Ultramar), with another one that all but ignores its rules of the Imperium and follows its own agenda (the Mechanicum).
It's the furtherest thing from being fascist, by any definition.
I'm not saying they're fascist because they're authoritarian,like some brain deficient commie. Read Mussolini's Doctrine of Fascism. It fits it to a tee. I prefer national socialism or a White republic to Italian fascism, but the governmental system of 40k is undoubtedly fascist. There are feudal elements, but that largely boils down to the inability to manage efficiently. The leaders on Terra have absolute say about governmental decisions and completely control the economy. How can you look at a hive city and say those people don't exist to serve the cogs of government?
Yes.
And that's a good thing.

Oh no, the dystopian empire does something that people don't like? It's almost like it's a dystopia or something...
Please don’t respond to this
This guy has been to every thread saying the same thing.
It’s bait
you just did tho
The Custodes are created through a different method than Marines. You would know that if you ever opened a Custodes codex.
You have actually read the material you're complaining about GW changing, right?
>T-THEY ARE DIFFERENT!
yes, they are superior while space marines are inferior. if there can be female custodians then there absolutely can be female space marines, baring additional terrible decisions from GW to cope-post and say that their can be female custodians but no female space marines in an attempt to appease everyone
>there absolutely can be female space marines
>explicitly said that the geneseed is coded off the male primarch dna
>compared to invitiro gene editing that makes Custodes
This is dumb.
>sigh
Wrong. Custodes come from the SONS of Terra nobility according to the existing lore. Which means they have no problem bending the lore backwards to get woke points, so what makes you believe they won't do the same thing with marines?
imperial assassins are superior to marines and there's always been both men and women of them, merely being superior to marines doesn't mean anything. marines have gene-seed which is the ACTUAL reason they can't be girls, because all the primarchs (and the emperor, who used his gene-seed to make grey knights) are dudes. If there was a female primarch there would be female astartes.
Custodes aren't marines. They don't have gene-seed. They don't have a primarch. Stop embarrassing yourself as a secondary.
I did. It said something about the Custodes only recruiting from the sons of Terran nobility.
Custodes should've never gotten a codex nor been playable at all it was a massive mistake to do that, it was nearly on par with the creation of the primaris
The goal of Games Workshop is to sell products. The game has been out for a long time now, and people have armies of Space Marines already. So, what do you do to get people to buy more Space Marines who already own Space Marines? Create something like Primaris, give them a stat bloc etc and then make it so if you don't field them you're handicapping yourself.
This is what's hilarious about all this drama to me. They made a faction because one guy saw terminator and thought "shit those robots are cool" and then other people had to reinvent the faction to have actual backstory in the setting.
People acting like this is a big deal and the last straw are trying too hard to be mad because "waah woke feminist troony agenda!" and not because they actually care about anything real. Literal NPC behavior.
You're absolutely right. Custodes are created with the emperors own genetic material which makes then even less likely to be female than sms.
So which faction is my genetically engineer superhuman women in power armor prior to this?
Sisters of Battle. Are you trolling? I also don't understand the desire for transgender activists to turn everything into the same thing. It's really funny because you often hear transgender activists have meltdowns over people allegedly "glorifying 40k lore" as some kind of desirable society (because transgenders typically are diagnosed with autism and thus can't read into things like irony or funposting), and then push heavily to make 40k into some bizarre transgender activist autocracy. So they'll fight for things like female space marines, solely because they want to turn all fantasy lore into the same thing. Some kind of Marvel Movie, reddit-safe trope where there isn't any actual conflict or layered narrative.
>Sisters of Battle.
They are basic human women, they are in no way genetically engineered.
Are you moronic? They are not gene-seeded like Space Marines that's true. However, they are racially selected among the best of the best and then given biological enhancing treatments to be able to wear power armor and have superhuman capabilities. Not to mention their ties with Warpcraft.
Still not genetically engineered.
You're writing pure fanfiction.
Sisters are nothing more than basic human women who just pray hard enough so their super natural sugar daddy helps them in battle.
They are not basic human women. Basic human women serve in the Guard and a Sister of Battle would annihilate them.
The only difference is training. Women get to schola because they are orphans, being an orphan doesn't make you stronger. Otherwise basic Sisters and Stormtroopers would have better S/T/I than regular humans in the guard. The difference is training and nothing more.
>being an orphan doesn't make you stronger.
It does in fiction.
>They are not basic human women.
They are normal human women.
Only difference between a SoB and a guardswoman is purely just the training and equipment and nothing more.
Faith. You forget 40k is faith powered. SoB have notably more of it than average IG.
You're a tourist. Learn your script better next time.
Still no difference.
All humans in the Imperium religious and part of the Imperial cult because it is punishable by death if you aren't.
Sisters still are not genetically engineered in anyway.
They are normal human women.
>then given biological enhancing treatments to be able to wear power armor and have superhuman capabilities
Can you point to any lore examples that back your fanfiction? Only Space Marines get the Black Carapace.
40k has its roots in homosexuality and autism. Normal straight men don't obsess over 7' tall muscular men and make it their entire personality. Pivoting to transexualism is the franchise's natural conclusion.
I think a lot of it is manchildren who fetishize their childhood. If you haven't noticed, most media now is just re-hashing things from old video game series (Fallout TV series for example), capeshit (comic books were only popular in the 90s and early 2000s), and endless re-makes of old franchises (star wars, dune, etc). There's barely anything original getting released now because the market is selling nostalgia to depressed mid-life crisised millenials who live in a nightmare world of the boomer's creation while zoomers are so hopped up on dopamine addictions and pornography they can't live without onlyfans/tiktok.
I believe transgenderism springs from a combination of autism (all studies point towards autism being over-represented among transgenders) and nostalgia-coping. Because what is transgenderism ultimately? It's infantalization.
>Sisters of Battle
>genetically engineered superhuman women
So you don't know the lore, huh?
Yeah, the ten of them, nine of which play Nids or Orks
Female custodes are for boys with musclegirl fetishes, not for women.
they should bring in female orks...
coomerchads we're eating good
Nah. I'm into submissive women, but apparently that's politically incorrect now. Nothing against guys who are into femdom inherently, but it's become a moral issue because male dominance = bad, female dominance = good in these people's eyes.
>Ghazghkull's waagh grows bigger and bigger
>his orks begin to morph into krorks
>at the same time they turn into women
>krorks were all female race all along
>girls also play
Except they don't.
They do
As Tyranids or Slaanesh only
That's the point. Publicly traded corporations always view people who are not currently consuming their products as their actual core target demographic, and tend to think that people who already are their customers will keep buying their products anyways so they don't need to be pandered to or even particularly acknowledged. Shareholder profits hasn't been burned enough by Star Wars/Marvel/LotR yet for them to not consider that the best business strategy.
girls dont play
adding girl custodes wont make them play
frick off dishonest commie homosexual
Personally I'm upset at the notion that the genocidal theocracy that vat grows babies to turn them in to lobotomised pencil holders and conscripts prisoners to act as meat shields should be progressive.
You’re upset that the genocidal empire uses every last resource it has to oppress and genocide. It’s cute you think the imperium has the resources and ability to not give every single man woman and child a gun and a knife before you shoot one in the back of the head to get the rest to charge a literal demon
I'm married with kids and I assure you most women haven't even heard of 40k.
Yeah? Stocks go down and up all the time.
The only way you can see if the female custodian did damage is to check a week or month later.
You have to remeber that stock holders are most likely not the type of people to play the games.
a 1.5% drop for one day?! What a catastrophe, I must sell all of my shares right now!
please do larry you fricking parasite
Diamond hands my friend, hodl to the moon
Because its increases their profits.
how so? Do you really think there is any amount of people waiting to drop money on GW products if only they got pandered too? Where are the female custodes models for them to buy? This is not even good pandering, its just out of touch dipshits doing an own goal for twitter clout.
When was the last time you bought GW products for more than 500 USD? If you aren't buying, your pet company is going to find someone who will, because it was always- is always- and will always be about making money.
That there's 20+ threads about this is bizarre.
Warhams is one of the few things people still give a shit about on this dying board, why wouldn't they be mad about GW fricking it up?
Listen, you can be mad. Just surprised about the thread spam instead of there being a single thread about it so you could voice your complaints constructively with each other. Whether I think you're a bunch of a whackjobs is immaterial to the topic.
It is not bizzare when you think about the fact that a good portion of Ganker users are pathetic whose whole personality revolves around being mad about shit. It explains the thread spam. It is also just a easy way to get /misc/ threads in because this sort of thing generates engagement among morons.
>When was the last time you bought GW products for more than 500 USD? If you aren't buying, your pet company is going to find someone who will, because it was always- is always- and will always be about making money.
yes, but you did not answer the question. The issue GW and all these other companies that go woke is that in seeking to grow their customer base, going woke does not move the needle any where near enough (if at all) in getting new customers, as the people they are pandering to had and have no intention of spending any amount of money on their product. No one is going to buy into custodes because of a line in a book they will never no exists, along with the fact there are no models that depict female custodes. What, do you thing the hotline is ringing across the world that women will flock to buying custodes now? No, it will not. But it has pissed off a lot of people that were sitting on the fence of getting in or staying in this hobby. Its the same with every industry that does this. Woke people do not reward companies for going woke, at least in near enough numbers to make up for losing existing customer bases.
if it doesnt move the needle why are all these companies pulling record profits every single year?
just because blackrock/vanguard/bridge/gillford puts all the money into the company doesn't mean people are buying.
Getting new customers is an excuse. They get free/cheap money via ESG funding for putting fat women and blacks on everything.
Space Marines were the biggest baddest dudes fighting the wars
Then primaries Marines were
Then custodes left earth
Now custodes are women
Meaning there are 10 ft tall muscle power armour women bullying 7ft firstborn manlets
And they wonder why some fans are upset?
Those "biggest baddest dudes" canonically get their asses kicked by 5 foot tall cow-girls all the time.
Remember that time half a dozen literal Clowns walked into the Imperial Palace and went on a spree of killing those 'biggest baddest dudes'?
I feel like you are maliciously understating what Harlequins are to serve a really lame political goal
The clowns always get no respect cus they ain't space Marines
Yeah anon that's because Clowns get fricked over more often than not too. Remember that time a single Deathwatch team massacred an entire Troupe that had fricking Eldrad backing them up?
Twas the same group. Maybe you could argue they died on purpose to play their part in the play and make the stakes higher.
My bad, that's interesting and gw no longer cares about lore
>Maybe you could argue they died on purpose to play their part in the play and make the stakes higher.
You actually can't because one of the Harlequins flat out begged the Deathwatch to not interfere with the ritual and that it would be a huge blow against Chaos.
Even funnier it was later retconned that the ritual AKSHULLY was super bad and would have killed quadrillions of humans because of the side effects, thereby justifying the Deathwatch as heroes for stopping it despite the Watch Captain literally stating he'd rather see the Imperium fall to Chaos than ever work with a xenos.
what specifically is the problem you are trying to identify and/or the point you are trying to make? it's like if I said Darth Vader was a villain in Star Wars and then you started describing Darth Vader's breakfast routine to me, it's just meaningless babble that isn't really related to what's going on here.
>because Clowns get fricked over more often than not too
I feel like you don't know much about Cegorach
>there are 10 ft tall muscle power armour women
And yet you are destined to die a virgin.
But how will I be able to make gay jokes if they're girls?
easy
So all female custodes (still are women biologically) just identify as male?
Works for me I guess.
Does this mean I can start making rape jokes when playing my chaos lads against custodes?
Only if you know they like the idea of Femstodes.
Misters of Battle soon lads.

Not him, but I don't care about the yugioh threads. Do I go into the yugioh threads and post about how I don't care about the yugioh threads? No, because I don't care about the yugioh threads. Taking effort to say something like "I don't care" shows that you do care.
>I eat whatever comes out of GW like a human centipede
>no YOU'RE the consoomer
>saw YouTubers saying how they just made a video on custodes lore and need to update it
How can anyone bother to read consume and relay lore for a franchise that doesn't give a shit and will retcons shit like this overnight with no slow lead up?
its the GW fanbase. its full of morons who will gobble it up regardless so those videos print money no matter what happens to the lore.
Okay so custodes are the emperor's best friends and finest creation. All men and very grand. Like if space Marines were on the drug from limitless and had personal interests like painting, wielding, poetry.
Emperor loves custodes and kinda hates space Marines but needed them, space Marines are like if you put a custodes jumper through the wash 3 times and it shrunk and lost the colour.
So wokies have been begging for female space Marines for years and making it a massive issue, so what's even more annoying to the people who pushed back against calls for female Marines?
Female custodes!
>1 Day chart
Zoom out moron.
Literally "how to manipulate statistics 101" shit right here.
A stock fluctuating by a few percent over short time periods is literally how all stock prices work.
Isn't 1% of 1 billion a lot?
Yes, but such fluctuations are normal.
Stocks go up, then they got down a bit, then they got up a bit, etc.
These fluctuations are literally why Day Trading is a thing.
That's just how the market works.
Yes and no. 1% of 1 billion dollars is 10 million dollars. But you'd only lose that much if you owned 100% of the company. If you owned 1% of the company (a remarkably high percentage) you'd lose something like 100k. But looking at it in terms of price per share if the company was worth 1 billion dollars but had 10 million shares on the market, then a 1% drop would equal a loss of 1 dollar per share. That sort of distributed risk is kinda the whole point of the stock market.
In a less hypothetical analysis GW is worth about 3.25 billion, and has about 32.95 million shares.
So to be clear, you intend to complain about a game you have you have no intent of playing?
I get his point. Stop paying, keep playing, and make it clear why you stopped paying.
No, moron, I intend to voice my complaints about the game I play, while putting an emphasis on the choice to not make future purchases due to recent changes (that I am complaining about).
Exactly!
>obviously have never even played Custodes on tabletop
The "everyone is a secondary but me" posting is really on overdrive today.
If you were to open a Custodes book you'd know they don't use gene-seed.
Gene-seed is what makes female Space Marines impossible.
Yep.
This argument WILL be used.
If GW does cave I bet GW will make a female Primarch from one of the lost Primarchs.
Cringiest thing is seeing the usual suspects on Twitter posting "I WASNT INTO CUSTODES BUT I JUST ORDERED SOME"
and
"FEMALE CUSTODES MAKES THE FACTION APPEAL TO ME KNOW I AM PAINTING SOME UP RIGHT NOW AND PRE ORDERING CODEX"
Rewarding gw with cash for aligning with them. It's so clear and embarrassing.
Men and women are equal and having more options for my models is good! They say, whilst saying women now make custodes interesting implying that the genders are not equal
This is the part that really irks me. It's that these faceless mobs who normally wouldn't touch the stuff suddenly act like they've always liked it just because they get the barest amount of pandering. I don't how that doesn't just piss them off more. Maybe it's a vanity thing, maybe that lego study is legitimate.
What lego study?
Anyway these people won't buy shit.
Lego has announced it will work to remove gender stereotypes from its toys after a global survey the company commissioned found attitudes to play and future careers remain unequal and restrictive.
Researchers found that while girls were becoming more confident and keen to engage in a wide range of activities, the same was not true of boys.
Seventy-one per cent of boys surveyed feared they would be made fun of if they played with what they described as “girls’ toys” – a fear shared by their parents. “Parents are more worried that their sons will be teased than their daughters for playing with toys associated with the other gender,” said Madeline Di Nonno, the chief executive of the Geena Davis Institute on Gender in Media, who conducted the research.
Well, yeah. But this has nothing to do with that.
In previous 2editions +HH Custodes were male only club.
Now they have been rectoned into having females. Do you think it's a problem to recton "marines are males only because of gene-seed"? All it takes is removing single line and add female marines, or just add "Cawl did it" as part of his super secret nu Primaris Space Marines project. In the end it's flavor text to sell you overpriced plastic toys, GW can change it at will like they did with Dark Eldar and Necrons in 5th ed.
>In previous 2editions +HH Custodes were male only club.
Show me where it says that in an actual Codex (not a BL book).
The 8th and 9th codexes explicitly said that Custodes were made from the sons of imperial nobility.
So you say.
It should be easy to show me a screenshot of that then.
You're going to get stuck in lore arguments when GW can just manufacture new lore instantly.
The reason female Marines (and by extension Custodians) is shit is conceptual, not because of inconsistency with other lore. If there was lore then that lore would be shit too.
Men has classically been used to refer to all of humanity, not just male-presenters. Sons can include transgender sons.
>Sons can include transgender sons.
But transgender son is male, unles it's from male to female then he is not son but daughter.
So still only males can became Custodes.
homosexual
Except it's not domination, it's submission.
There's no such thing. Warhammer has never been consistent and the lore is just stuff they copied from heavy metal magazine.
You all kick and cry and scream, yet after a week each and every one of you will be back shoveling money into GW's bottomless gullet. That has always been the nature of the GW monkey.

No-games GODS win again
There are other games besides Warhammer, you know?
Nah. I play D&D and haven't bought a book since 3.5. This just means I have another game I have to pirate parts for.
How many times have we had where people stare at 1Day stock change and go "ITS OVER THIS COMPANY IS FRICKING FINISHED" only for nothing to happen?
wait did stock actually just plummet because of it or was there something else?
I would not call this plummeting.
The hell happened at the end of 2023?
10e was announced
Big drop on a trading update, markets clearly didn't like something about it, or a whale might have decided to realise some gains. Revenue and profits were only up by 10% or so, and dividends by 18%, expectations might have been higher, or maybe the £2500 bonus they gave to all their employees ruffled feathers.
Just like "GW was finished" when they went for fan animations? I'm sure they never recovered from that.
It's 1 day, stock going up and down during day is normal, it's nothingburger and OP is homosexual.
In 3 months perspective GW stock is stable.

Have sex you malformed shitskin freak
>Says a guy who cannot get laid so all his sexual drives goes to r34
Gatekeeping has not and will never work, the fact that I'm here despite this impotent rage shows that. Please continue to mald, it's very funny.
If you still take GW seriously after primaris and aos, you deserve the humiliation rituals. Why would you care more about something than the people that make it?
Female space marines with side cuts are a fricking inevitability and have been for years.
True.
Now I just look at how badly they will frick up setting. New guy breaking main imperium flavor, stagnation and ritualisation, by making new better marines with new better equipment, killing fantasy and making AoS, Aos black elves, Erda and other bullshits of Horus Heresy, dumb shits during 8th and 9th ed and now femstodes.
I'm looking forward to GW made horrors beyond our comprehension.
How about you just don't eat the slop and ignore the slop company moron? If you were "resisting" you'd have a printer and a list of favored 3ed party manufacturers and either 1.play old editions which is the best a soulless paypig like you can probably hope for 2.Play alt games
Getting mad about GW being gay and moronic is like getting mad about blizzard putting a gay character in Wow in 2024.
>I'm so smart, I'm a fan of nothing!
I'm a fan of specific things I like and specific artists, not intellectual properties with a revolving door of underpaid ghouls enslaved to current year thought acting as it's custodian, yes. So I am much smarter than you.
>The middle-aged hipster trumpets its arrogance
>resisting
Please stop trying to make yourself sound like some valiant warrior. You're no different than a guy shitting himself because they took the mcrib off the menu
How the frick do you gatekeep a product intended to make money? Please explain this to me. If your apparent example is "physical assault" well, I doubt many are willing to do 5-15 in ass pound prison over a kids game.
>Projecting so hard
Have sex, touch the grass.
Talk to people outside of Ganker. Stop infusing your politics into everything. It will do you a world of good, you pin dicked and pea-brained nitwit 15 year old. These fricking shitty internet brain worms culture war threads are so fricking lazy.
The local shop you're banned from for violating hygiene rules?
Pretty much every stock being traded went down 2% or so after Iran and Israel almost started a massive regional war. Markets are more shook by the US and Israel nuking Iran than they are "da woke menace"
Stop posting in this thread and talk about it in your general
You have 5 threads going in and out talking about this shit
The people on the side for female custodies are only here to make you seeth, stop talking to them like their opinions can be changed. They won’t
The other people screaming about trannies and SJWs are only adding fuel to the fire, either shut up or borrow arguments from the more coolheaded
Seriously No one cares that the stocks of GW went down today, No one cares about how GW made retcons in the past so you can have FSM and NO one cares about how HOT they will be
if you want to make your case just stop buying from them instead of doomsaying and buying their shit again
Seriously if you can’t see that people are trying to ham up drama for the lols have a nice day
>Discussions are only to take place in generals
Typical newbie.
You can't criticize female Custodes without criticizing female Guardsmen which are even worse.
if all it takes to make you shut up is a warning then I'm pretty sure you're closer to death than anyone else on this thread lmao
Female Space Marines will happen.
The lost Primarchs will be female.
>nb4 but but hirus here's books
Black Library shit means nothing
GW has fallen. Millions must 3D print.

>iran launches hundreds of missiles and drones at israel
>stock market dips
>people being afraid of war vindicates my arguments about the gender of toy astronauts
185 drones, 36 cruise missiles, 110 surface to surface. It's nothing compared with the many thousands that are stockpiled, and their proxies didn't contribute anything either. They're just making a loud noise to see how far they can push.
irrelevant, stock brokers trust the iron dome
Only because like 3-4 countries joined in to help, the iron dome didn't do it alone.

If there’s anything the past decades have thought me, it’s that liking franchises is a mistake. Companies are always looking for an excuse to slash quality or to pivot to a new demographic. Perhaps eventually, companies will learn that dumping your original customer base is dumb, but until that time brands will continue to implode
This is what you gays get for being fans of slophammer! Ahahaha!!!
>all this baiting and bad faith arguing
Some of us are just here to watch 40K dorks have meltdowns. God, I cannot fricking wait for female space marines. That shit is going to be epic.
Femarines might just be enough to kill GW and then we'd all be free
Not good enough. I want a pregnant femarine model. That shit would be based as frick.
This already exists
I'm seconding this. I haven't given a shit about 40k for years now after 9th edition hammered in the final nail of the wargame being irredeemable. Now it's fun watching these dipshits who care about things like 'lore' while seriously considering any edition post 5th to even be a fricking wargame lose their goddamn minds.
It's almost enough fun to make me forget nobody plays historicals.
I'm not going to lie. Today has been the most fun I've had on /tg/ in actual years.
redditors
Yep. I use Reddit, too. Also Facebook. Instagram. Whatcha going to do about it, kid? Get mad at me for cheating on a social media imageboard? I've been jacking off to other people's impotent rage all day. You have no power here.
Awwww I'm sorry, did somebody incidentally butcher some commercially made lore for the shittiest wargame on the market? You poor soul.
How do female custodes personally affect you? It's a fictional setting, it can be whatever it wants to be.
Cootie transmission is srs bsns.
Because people enjoy the setting and are invested in it. If your stance is "none of it matters lol talking about it is a waste of time" then go bugger and stop wasting your time in this thread since you don't care.
True fans have always known to rely on headcanon, fake fans like you just piss and seethe and farm outrage.
Frick off homosexual. I've been playing this game for seventeen years. I don't need some autistic zoom zoom catamite to call me a fake fan because I pointed out his logical contradiction.
Cool cool
Where's the actual plastic kits for other factions representing women though?
Why would they make those?
>plummet
>-1.45%
These people are not very smart.
>Stock market
The biggest scam of the century. Paying real money for the THEORETICAL value instead of just looking at hard numbers? Yeah, it shows that the rich are not smarter than the poor, they just have more luck.
Classic case of trying to pander to people who will never buy your shit anyway, no matter what you do. None of the homosexuals on twitter who cried about there being no female spess marenes will spend even a single dollar on anything 40k related. It never works. It doesn't work with comics, it doesn't work with video games and it won't work here.
Reminds of the kek who acted all hype about that one black aos figurine because of his wife's son and in the same breath asked if he could get send a few for free because of that. They will never put their money where their mouth is.
Will this be the trigger leading to incel revolution?
kino
>>adds woke female custodians
plummets
Yeah, about that.
Can you not read marketing trends? Blatant injection to try and bump the stock but notice the overall trend is down. Given GW is losing popularity it's not surprising. They are an old company with a lot of capital to burn -- and burn capital they will.
>Can you not read marketing trends?
>coping begins
>the overall trend is d-AAAAACCCCKK
>erratic jump and crash in barely 3 year period
>"n-no the company is doing fine!"
They're banking mostly on video games now.
2017 is when primaris were released.
Around 2019-2020 is when Covid began and started to spread out of China, all industries and companies everywhere around the world took a hit then, it's why the stock went down during then.
And GW stock started to recover very quickly in late 2020 and 2021.
>They're banking mostly on video games now.
Less than 5% of their revenue, they make almost all their money from selling plastic crack. They publish all this online in their investor reports and trading updates.
Their miniatures print money. Games Workshop hasn't even begun to take gaming seriously. They need to buy a studio and shit out an AAA FPS every 2 / 3 years. Also there's a lottery ticket chance that they are successful like Marvel in monetising their IP.
And Games Workshop has two parallel IPs, even if 40K doesn't pan out, they could do fantasy movies.
every single avenue of advancement they have for their IPs will be ruined by woke, to the extent where they will probably not do them at all. Also, what a lot of dips that have been in the hobby for a long time fail to realize (just like their D&D fellows) is that what is a long term hobby for them is a short term fad for anyone that is not already a GW fan. A lot of content creators/influences glommed onto it starting with COVID, and its currently running its course through that space. Once its done it will be discarded like every other IP for the next shiny thing. And if you look at most of these new "fans", they never buy models, its all about the lore. Once the lore has lost its luster, they are gone.
40k has always been woke
i legit cannot discern trolling from actual mentally ill people anymore
Holy copium
People still buying GW products have nobody to blame but themselves. Their games suck, their model lines suck, their company image sucks, their novels suck, everything about GW today sucks.
>Their games suck, their model lines suck, their company image sucks, their novels suck, everything about GW today sucks.
No, GW is good and fine even today.
You only say that because you've yet to realize that GW is not even trying to appeal to you or people like you.
You are not their main target demographic anymore and haven't been for the last 10 years.
They peaked during Covid because everyone was stuck at home.
>coping begins
lol
>still nothing but cope
You guys are just fear mongering because you know no one truely gives a shit.
The people who are going to pay $300 for a plastic toy tank are paypigs, that's true and GW has pretty much run off this market for years now. But manchildren aren't going to last forever.
>No, GW is good and fine even today
Lol lmao
Yeah this is why 10th edition gets so many positive reception
I've listened this song some 15 years by now, surely this will be the last straw on the camel's back!
gw is doing so good you need to desperately "remind" us
You have to remind the morons from time to time that they are morons.
>-1.45%
>plummets
Are you moronic?
>trying to appease people that don't buy your products and have no intention of ever buying your products
>all these threads are made by nogamers who have never bought a 40k product
>there is actual growing interest in 40k products outside of the miniature market and they are capitalizing on that.
>likely because all the lore videos on youtube mixed with the surprising crossover of 40k fiction with weird fanfiction communities.
People want to be mad on Ganker but outside of here things are way different.
>all these threads are made by nogamers who have never bought a 40k product
Projection at its finest.
>projection
buzzwords for cope
shit b8 m8 i r8 0/8
is actual growing interest in 40k products
Is there? AoS isn't doing well, Total War Warhammer 3 was a flop. They've even brought back ToW out of desperation to appeal to the old players.
There is. Like I said a lot of it is due to people getting sucked into the lore independent of literally anything else, hell I realized only last year I was sleeping on how much "lore" is popular online. Because people make lore videos for things and a dozen youtube shorts with snippets of their main videos. So people scrolling through shorts get a taste of some setting and then have a need to learn more. I have talked to 6 people recently who don't know each other, never played the Fallout games, but said they were interested in the new show because "they saw some lore videos".
Plus as I said there's weird crossover among a log of communities for reading, writing, and fanfiction. Probably because of some fanfiction that went viral among them, and probably because a few well known writers have made their own 40k books.
Then there's some popular games that have gotten people interested in the franchise overall. The miniatures are niche, overpriced, and lack the ability to have mass appeal, but the setting is gaining ground in the last few years at least. And not with the usual crowd. Frick, that steamer bait game Powerwashing simulator created 40k DLC as a tie in with another 40k game that has been semi-popular.
The more I say the more things I remember that have been popping off in the franchise.
But none of that links back to this site and the culture here. This place is isolated and some people can't grasp how time moves on. They still talk about normies as being a thing.
Coomerism is the easiest way to open someone's wallet, anon. This has actually been researched. You thought showgirls posing on sport cars were there for inculsivity?
disingenous shit, you know that all this shitshow isnt because GW want to appeal coomers, they want to appeal "muh inclusion". There is 2 entire factions where they can put every kink available but they dont
How could you ever know that when not a single model or even picture exist yet?
easy:
1. The female models in AoS and OW suck ass.
2. Models that should be cover the coomer fanbase are horrible.
3. The only time they gave a shit about coomers were with the SoB, and those models sucks too.
4. There is no need to add fem custodes, they should just make SoS bigge and muscular if they wanted to appeal to chronic degenerates.
Sounds like your problem is shitty sculpting, not miniature women.
>trust me bro, GW wants to appeal coomers even if the miniatures are horrid pieces of shit that instead of curves will have ugly girlbosses faces!
And dont let me started with the lore behind: "Achaon, the most powerful chaos champion o afll is worry about this empowered and strong kween!!!!, that's why he gave her this basedack dinousaur!!"
>/misc/ tourist
that's who these threads are made for anon.
i accept your concession
every thread in this board and in /tg/ are for chuds??
No, just these ones.
WHF female models are good. Picrel is a fantastic mini.
Exactly if the new femcustodes would be attractive I would not be against this change. But they will be horrendous monstrosities that will make post Diaz deamonettes beautifull
pre diaz daemonettes were ugly too
They read about how it takes ten times the resources to get a new customer than to retain a current one, and subsequently decided that current fans deserve ten percent of their attention
>add woke female custodians
>stock SURGES
whoa I'm very smart
???
London vs American based financial exchanges just FYI. So nothing happening for British (GBX is in pence) dipping in America.
Anon, a couple of manchildren freaking out on twitter does not cause stonks to dip. In fact 1.5% isn't much of a dip.
okay then
on one had beeg women
on the other they were never mentioned before now
male sisters of silence when?
>male sisters of silence when?
Culexus assassins already exist.
Officio Assassinorum ≠ Astra Telepathica
Male blanks still exist.
yeah, because being a blank is a random condition based on chaos frickery, unlike the geneseed conditions. But even with that, its not like Jurgen can enlist to be a sister of silence
idgaf, whats the point of you question then?'
This means that female custodes were so shitty and unremarkable in battle that there isn't even a single heroic name recorded in any lore.
Name 5 male custodes characters without looking them up.
Anon, the 3 letter agencies constantly monitor Ganker.
It is not unlikely.
not the hecking agencyrinos!!
>(and kitten)
Fanfiction characters don't count.
You failed.
Can they make them in the old outfits? Asking for a friend.
You know this happens every time, and then the line goes up again? Does the 'woke' wither away or are you ready to accept that the amount of Adam Sandler films being released does not correlate with the amount of school shootings?
can you accept that Star Wars fell from being one if not the most popular franchise out there to nowadays being a failed Ip of mediocre seris thanks to woke?
Star Wars is still immensely profitable franchise despite a decade of aimless film direction and over saturation, touch grass. You mindvirus doesn't affect the population at large.
>immensely profitable franchise

sure thing bro.
>You mindvirus doesn't affect the population at large.
frick off, even thirdworlders make fun of their shitty political agenda
>only looking at box office
you're moronic. Franchise means the whole franchise. They remade the money on merch alone before the last theatrical movie even released. They make more from baby yoda than they needed to make in the box office.
Touch grass. No one cares that you can't rell marketing gimmicks from "political agendas"

Bwahhaahahahahahahahahaha
ST merch sold like a crap.
