Imma just say this.
I would be a lot more okay with female Custodes in canon than female space marines. It can be as simple as.
>Normally the male children are chosen as being generally more powerful as building materials.
>Occasionally a female has sufficient intriguing qualities that an attempt is made, sometimes with success.
The custodes are so few in a galactic sense, that you could just have a dozen of the female custodes. Such a small number that not mentioning that they existed could be entirely excused. They are essentially tailor made from what I last recall.
And sisters of silence are basically female Custodes anyways. Just for beating up the warp stuff.
Anon, you ever heard the saying "give an inch and they will take a mile"
Well, this you are giving them that inch.
Mountain meet molehill
Mommystodes can have all five of my inches if they want
This very much. This is a feeler. GW is probing for reactions when they inevitably will make femarines next year.
Anon, he's doing it on purpose. It's called the foot in the door approach
Break his leg. Dont buy this trash. I refuse to buy the fem Creed not cause its crazy that there is a female guard commander but because they iced reg Creed to do it.
I want them to make fem-marines just because I'm tired of this argument and it will make people seethe
Frick you both, worthless homosexuals
The problem with them doing changes like this is they do it in the laziest fricking ways imaginable. They DO NOT EVER address the sudden changes. Ever. The female custode came out of nowhere no explanation. When every custode has previously been male. This would be fine if they explained it. They fricking didn't. Just watered down the suspension of disbelief.
Fem marines COULD be fine. But they won't. If loyalists got fem marines through call desperately throwing entire legions worth of sisters of battle into the meat grinder that is the Rubicon primaris in desperate attempts to increase the viable number of gene augmented warriors that would be fine. It would frick up the imperium logistics and lower its fighting effectiveness for little gain and be a satisfactory everyone loses situation.
If the traitors got fem marines from Fabius finally breeding up a batch of his new men equivalent to the space marines and sending them out to slowly replace the numbers of old veterans causing horrible nightmarish churn as the legion are canibalized from the inside out that would be fine it would be a lose lose situation for everyone involved. BUT IT WONT BE. THEY DO NOT CARE.
Thanks for your contribution coward
marines were always women moron
sounds like cope
So you're more okay with Female Custodes than Just Male Custodes?
You don't like 40K, do you?
Liking 40k all depends on the linchpin of if you think femstodes are yucky or not, obviously
OP is always a gay.
OP is frequently an incel.
Ergo, gays are frequently incels.
I don't even care if they'll make female primaris "marines". Primaris "marines" will never be real space marines in my eyes, i don't care what they'll do with them as long as they don't touch older lore
They can't touch older lore anon. At least not if you have physical copies.
>They can't touch older lore
Ok come edit my 4th edition rulebook. You can do that, can't you?
Looking at reddit discussion about this gave me brain cancer
>Looking at reddit discussion about this gave me brain cancer
wdym
Nta but most places I've looked seem to be 50/50 split on the matter, with some slight bias in favour on reddit and some slight bias against over here
I think this place is weirdly reasonable about it. It's YouTube where mental illness dwells.
Are loretubers the vanguard party for incel revolution?
Personally I think it can* make sense with a big *, marines were meant for mass production, there were hundreds of thousands of them during the GC so having a base flaw like that could make sense if written well, since custodes are all meant to be perfect in every way, it stands to reason imo that the emperor with all his space magic engineering could if he so wanted make female super soldiers, albeit if they say something like ''it takes more effort because of a woman's natural hormone profile/it's extremely rare and only reserved for the toughest of women'' etc
I doubt they'll ever do anything with her, which is odd because the Cleopatra theme is right there tbh
>I doubt they'll ever do anything with her, which is odd because the Cleopatra theme is right there tbh
If they ever retrofit her into nu-necrons, all I ask is making her blatantly Black personific and make sure even the thickest chud sees it's a cleopatra expy. The salt would be glorious.
Depends on if they ever expand on what the Necrons were before becoming robots, their culture seems have to stayed the same but we have no canon depictions of the necrontyr aside from some fan art that depicts them all with simply sickly pale skin
More like The Emperor's wienersleeves.
Uhmm... excuse me... I noticed your post being ironic and misoginist.. could you please stop?
its hard for a women to get in to this universe without bigots like you saying shit like that.
I can't even tell if shit like this is bait anymore.
You probably shouldn't make your sub-50 IQ obvious like that.
Dude, don't you dare stop calling them that.
And homosexual, stop being such a gay. That line of thinking is toxic is because it encourages such bullshit sensitivity. When you're playing something you love with your friends, you're often doing so because you can be yourself. One overly sensitive little gay/gaygette makes everyone ELSE in the room have to cater to their homosexual sensitivities, and then poof. Your crowd goes rocketing into the shitter. Exhibiting that sense of humor is the most straightforward way of answering the most relevant question determining who can be your friends... "Can they hang?"
And that you're even so much of a pussy as to put that out there says you probably can't have a nice day.
Excellent bait
Misters of Silence when?
This would be so funny. Do we know what happens to male blanks? I know the super blanks go to the assassinorum and the female blanks are SoS, what happens to the males?
Remember how the Emperor explicitly avoided female marines or Custodes because he didn't want any separate races of mankind to be able to breed and compete with normal humans?
That's just an excuse for the boy's club only, it's not like he couldn't make them explicitly sterile on purpose.
The US government plants only male trees in cities to prevent messes from fruits. Sometimes it's just a weirdo decision
Yeah but the US government is not the fricking God-Emperor of Mankind, master of science and biomancy, with technology from 28,000 years in the future.
Custodes are remade on the cellular level. It's entirely trivial to make them sterile.
>the US government is not the fricking God-Emperor of Mankind
yet
The emperor had to put some extreme padlocks on geneseed to keep a certain genesmith from unsterilizing them. Why make it easier if it’s something you never want to happen
You don't need an excuse for a group of soldiers to be a boy's club. That's what a group of soldiers is.
What you need is increasingly insane excuses for it to be anything else, and one such instance is actually the Imperium, where you can absolutely see the IG conscripting entire planets, both sexes and all ages, and just throwing them at the enemy, but the Space Marines aren't just elite, they have express limits on their numbers, there are probably trillions of people who COULD be space marines, but they have exactly 1000 slots per chapter. They can only afford to take the absolute best, to the point that some of them will take ten times as many of the best they need and then whittle them down until they have few enough.
Why the frick would they ever need women, what social malaise could possibly occur in the IMPERIUM to bring about this idiotic line of reasoning? The only people who do this IRL today are countries that haven't fought real wars in decades and don't intend to any time soon, if you look at where the rubber meets the road, even people fighting existential wars don't arm all the women and use them in human wave attacks, by that point you've already lost and trying to escape makes more sense.
>families of custodes confirmed
>suddenly millions of uber humans appearing everywhere to mary sue the setting.
Eyes of the Emperor confirmed for eugenics program.
I hate the corposlopification and wokeness as much as anyone, but that part never made any sense. Even if the gene seed affected reproductive cells, marine children would hardly inherit the vat-grown implanted organs (which really should include gene seeds themselves) or the hypno-indoctrination or the black carapace of their fathers. They wouldn't be marines, and it's debatable whether they could even survive.
You're right. And the marines that do wish to rule over humanity could always set up rape camps to force the bloodlines most likely to produce successful aspirants to breed for them.
Yea but that was before everything was about THE MESSAGE. All lore that competes with modern woke politics will be removed. Basically this means everything GW makes is just fanfic now.
Post the quote
So they take inbred yokels to make Custodes? Hardly the pillars of human perfection one imagines...
Fake and gay.
This was added in 8th edition because execs were still mad about Chapterhouse.
Nobody is going to care, because you are all just outrage seeking homosexuals with terminal culture war brainrot.
>infant sons
>entire generations of newborn sons
THIS is it?
Yep. Can't make a buff warrior out of a month old infant with gene editing technowizardry with tens of thousands of years of history if it's a female. They just lack the shoulder width, simple as.
Where is this from?
Also imagine the roid clit holy frick
Cool, so I can have an Aeldari Space Marine right? I mean. It's in an outdated book so it's canon, right?
Read homie, he's not a space marine
Have you ever looked at the text?
Yeah I just looked at the fact that he's literally wearing Mark VI power armor as a strong indication he's a Space Marine. Goofy ass.
Yeah, everyone can wear power armour.
Rogue trader had random civilians in power armour.
Current 40k has unaugmented humans in terminator armour
>Yeah, everyone can wear power armour.
If you're attempting to say that the carapace armor worn by Tempestous or the specialty power armor worn by Battle Sisters is the same as literal Space Marine armor, you're moronic.
>Current 40k has unaugmented humans in terminator armour
Inquisitors are not unaugmented.
Anon, literally everyone in RT could wear power armour.
Again, it's not Space Marine power armor which is literally made to interface with plug-in points in their augmented bodies. You're thinking of shit like carapace armor. Way different.
He's not in space marine armour anon, he's not a space marine
It's that easy
You can look at the armor he's wearing and see it's Mark VI. Why are you fighting something so obviously true?
Next you will say the female adventurers are also space marines
Rogue trader was a different time anon, literally anyone could wear power armour.
It was all the same.
and yet, statted identically on the tabletop.
he's saying that in that picture, that power armour is a space marine mark power armour, and space marine armours can't be properly used by people without the black carapace
How many fricking threads do you GW chimps need to make about having a woman in your special little boys club?
>GW does some moronic shit
>I ignore it and it doesn't affect my fanfiction/army comp/painting
It really is that easy.
>continue to support GW until it does
Very smart of you.
Seems like a bad idea. Attempting to appeal to women who don't play and won't start by adding this is unlikely to create new funds, while people who will turn away could be significantly higher.
A risky business practice.
>inclusivity
ironically what femstodes are mostly to achieve is a mountain of dommy mommy art which will put off any real woman not actively using 40k to advertsie her onlyfans or whetever, it wont include anyone new
woketards are so fricking bad at understanding real audiences it's comical
want women in 40k? release emperor's children but squat noisemarines and instead have a full range of tortured soul "I can fix him" psychopath fabio-looking gayboys
They're gonna use this to phase out sisters of silence, and then when they bring in the female space marines they'll use those to phase out Sororitas. Because why keep making lines of female models you've historically sold less of when you can just print female heads on a space marine sprue and have that count for your 'representation' instead?
This is what these morons are cheering for- space marines phasing out other interesting and unique bodies whilst turning them into even more of an amorphous blob than they already were.
>inb4 slippery slope
You just saw them axe half the SM line and entire factions in AoS, do you seriously think they're above axing less popular female factions and telling you to play SM instead?
I'll do what I do with every shit game. When it stops being fun, peace homie. Or at the least O stop playing the "new" product.
>phase out SoS
Except they get more focus in the new codex than they've ever had before, and in HH SoS have an entire army list with several units (including jetbikes) that don't have models at all, something modern GW never does, yet they somehow did it for SoS.
>Except they get more focus in the new codex than they've ever had before
So you're motivated to buy out the stocks before they're rotated out next edition. Use your fricking brain anon.
>phase out Sororitas
Don't say things like that please
With how poor their sales are, this might literally kill GW, or at least cause a downsize. I wonder how much of this has to do with the tv show.
>this might literally kill GW
Can't wait for Wizards of the Coast to buy them. Very cool. /s
This but unironically. WotC is way better in producing seethe. Make Guilliman the niggest of them all black guy, make him banging Yvraine canon and make them appear together every time. The salt from that alone would be glorious.
>Wizards of the Coast to buy them.
How?
He's being sarcastic, moron.
>this might kill gw
>what is shareholder money
whatever, guess I can swap female heads onto custode models now
>women are now responsible for the two key moments that led to the Imperium's downfall (the scattering of the primarchs and the death of the Emperor)
Why does GW make women so incompetent and moronic? Are they misogynists?
>death of the Emperor
Huh?
Custodes fell to chaos and assaulted the Emperor in The End and Death II. If they were in control of their flighty, femoid emotions then the Emperor AND Sanguinus would yet live.
> Custodes fell to chaos
God it's so gay and stupid...
Good.
Frick all you marine/custodes loving secondaries. Don't own a single model but spend all day reading wikis and listening to loretubers.
>2024
>One of the cooler friendships between factions in 40k and what made their dynamic special is forgotten
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.
Actually Space Marines are all male because Gene-Seed used to be called Gene-Sperm in early 40k and only men have sperm.
Thats an In-Lore Reason. Yeah, I know the lore about how young boys are SMed in 40k but those people advocating for female ones don't care either way - and so should you as well, a more important reason is that the Astartes are not able to procreate and thus removed from humanity, despite fighting for it - more important then lore mcguffin Nr. 1085 is the spirit, themes and aesthetics of the faction, the meta-reasons for it, which the other side either doesn't care for either or deliberalty wants to destroy. Or has anyone ever argued for male sisters of battle or sisters of silence?
It being called sperm is the meta-reason. They made Space Marines run on semen because they thought it was funny, although they changed sperm to less obvious and more kid-friendly seed which has a dual meaning. But it actually means the GW nerds joked marines are burly bara bros who run on cum, literally.
I personally would like Male sisters because GW's fricked my Guard up so hard that running an Elite mechanized infantry force feels impossible. At this point just give me the normie power armored dudes so I don't have to play fricking Space Marines.
>Elite mechanized infantry force
That's literally the SM. Why are you trying to make Astra Militarum into ghetto marines?
>Guard
Oh you're one of those.
Guilty as charged. I do really like the Imperial Fists, and I would be fine building them, but I know Firstborn Marines are going the way of the dinosaurs soon and I don't want to buy Primaris. Just not a fan of their aesthetic.
Custodes have such shit aesthetics of "goldenmarines but better" that I honestly don't care about this change.
For "handcrafted warrior-poet demigods" their looks are uniform as frick. The helmets & leather gloves are honestly the better parts of their deisgn and they needed more baroque Art Nouveau weird shit slapped on their models, with models having some unique trinkets here and there.
You could give Sisters of Silence a few feet of height and call them a special chamber of Custodes and nothing meaningful about that faction would change. In fact if GW doesn't just merge them then I'd be anti-Femstodes and start getting worried because they are adding redundancy rather than removing it.
Female Space Marines would be terrible for the theme of the faction, and be redundant with Sisters of Battle.
Male Sisters of Battle would be terrible for the theme of the faction, and be redundant with Space Marines.
Custodes and Sisters of Silence already fight side by side with a similar sense of fashion, aesthetically not much changes.
Thematically the Emperor having an army of artisanal gene-tailored humans, both male and female, with many top tier blanks makes sense for his end goal. It's also an overt distinction between his other designs that were all male and also all slated for eventual disposal (Thunder Warriors, Space Marines, Primarchs).
The strict sex based segregation is extremely problematic. What you could do is segregate on basis of gender and throw in a handful of canonically trans characters, but even that runs into problem of excluding nonbinary or agendered characters.
>and nothing meaningful about that faction would change.
Maybe GW would finally give them an actual model range and playable rules. SoS are dogshit in tabletop because they pay tax for lore-friendly anti-psyker rules which just become blank lines in the datasheet against multiple armies.
Ah, allright - well in that case not even that point stands. Still, its not like the people that advocate for it will care about this or GW when they want to do. My point is just that this change is terrible for more things then just the in-setting lore, its a betrayal of the themes and aesthetics of the faction.
>the problem with the setting's lore is people care about setting and lore more then an unrelated irl politcial ideology that has nothing to do with either.
>i mean nothing explicitly and definitely says their aren't gay pink elephant custodes so its fine to add them and to ignore the settings internal consistency, in world logical implications and especially actual in setting statement that do only make sence if that were the case.
on the bright side when they're sales tank they'll finally lower pric- AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
>finally lower pric- AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Why do you think that affects anyone playing orks or necrons?
Ork gurlz incoming. And some Necron girlboss black qveen too, make it Cleopatra expy and emphasize the blackness.
Just wait till they retcon the Silent Queen and have her return as a model
Female necron already exists https://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Xun%27bakyr
he thought the necrontyr was an all male race
Not nearly enough girlbossy, and not black either.
My favourite female necrons are the cryptek head orikan keeps around because he's lonely and the other cryptek head that cawl keeps in a cum jar
Because the money all goes the same way. How do you homosexuals not understand this by now?
I already have mostly 3D printed scands of official miniatures and some recasts, even if I do own some plastic
Also I dont care if me buying orks or necrons means someone playing custodes is going to be hurt by female custards, if that's what you're implying by

I heard Kerrigan in 40k will happen if you go to Warhammer world and shout it's happening 40k times.
What if GW was going bankrupt anyways and they are doing a final stunt while covered in flaming gasoline for us?
You don't appreciate them enough
One minor character in a codex would be a pretty lame final stunt.
Maybe they are just revving the motorcycle
And it still won't bring any women into the hobby
Gatekeep. Never let them in.
Buddy they're already here.
Gatekeepong doesn't work after the internet got big. All you can do is either be a cultural nomad forever moving from one thing to another with them on your heels forever or just be a total hermit
Or just accept the changes and keep playing the game regardless.
Noooo don't do that, that's consooming u dont wanna be a consoomer
Or you reject them and keep on.
It is more than a little accidentally ironic innit.
Who the frick wants to play dumbed down moron friendly 40k? Get a real fricking game
How exactly does adding female Custodes 'dumb down' the game? In fact, how does it change the actual GAME of 40K in any meaningful way whatsoever?
Nothing, the game itself fricking sucks now so you're a dumbfrick for playing it by default
Name a time when you considered 40K good, so that I have a baseline.
not only are they already in, they're running the fricking show and have been for years
Change for the sake of change is not good, Tzeentch cultist.
You gonna engage meaningfully or you just throwing shade because reveling in your own filth is fun, nurgle-slopper?
It bothers me a lot less than female space marines.
I don't get the whole "female space marine" discussion when the Sisters of Battle are a thing, it seems like the perfect example of people just trying to push for something just to spite others. A lot of you are already giving them an inch by discussing it in terms of the lore, but clearly they do not care about any of that, they just want it for the sake of it, to frick with a niche dudes are into a little more and then little bit more and then a little bit more... If they wanted to have their "girls get it done" female power fantasy for the Imperium there already is an ENTIRE FACTION for that, other games don't even have that. That it needs to be specifically space marines only proves what they are really about and that they shouldn't humored with engaging in a genuine discussion. Just tap the Sisters of Battle sign and be done with it. Again, there is an ENTIRELY FEMALE FACTION that in round-about way offers practically the same as space marines. And that this faction is on top of everything underplayed just adds another entire reason why this is so brainless, because it is just
>What, you are not even touching the food you wanted on your plate and already cry for half of your brother's dessert?
A lot of the 40k fantasy is about Your Dudes being supersoldiers which is why Marines always are by far the most popular faction. Sisters of Battle are not supersoldiers, they have standard human statline. That's why they were never going to satisfy that demand. Female Custodes do, some other new kind of hypothetical unit with a marine statline or better could also.
That demand doesn't exist. It is such a specific non-reason just to have something to go on (and don't fricking start with statlines if you just want "thing but female"), you might as well make this shit up for every faction. And other factions, where that somehow isn't an issue (because it is specifically about fricking with space marines) don't even have something like the Sisters of Battle. This is the equivalent of going
>We really need disabled Necrons! No, that entire faction of disabled blue robot skeletons called Circle of the Broken who are part of the Necrons don't count, because they are not green, blue disabled robot skeletons will never satisfy this totally existing huge demand because it's about them being specifically green I decided.
That's you, that's what you sound like.
The demand has existed since people started crying about female space marines not existing, so the 90's, and if you want to find people to play with you can't make statlines up and say your sisters are not guardsmen in power armor but have marine stats. No one on the other hand wants disabled necrons, that's obviously absurd and you're absurd for making the comparison and thinking anyone accepts the argument.
>since people started crying about female space marines not existing, so the 90's
Citation needed
I've never once heard anyone say they want female space Marines. Like ever.
And if you listen to the wise, and never go to Plebbit or the Bird Site, you won't ever have to. The real crux of the issue is that somewhere along the line the attitude surrounding various nerd stuff changed from being exclusive to being inclusive.
I'll just say it, every single inclusive thing sucks wiener. Every single one. There is not one, single thing that was made for everybody that is even remotely interesting. Every, EVERY good piece of culture is inaccessible. Nothing worth being a part of is easy to join. Nothing worth mastering is easy to learn. No mountain worth climbing bends over to help you. Pandering is such pathetic cuckold homosexual shit it actully boggles the mind, and pandering to leftoids in particular is not just disgusting and homosexual, it's also just stupid. Things are interesting because they represent novelty, and to get thematic novelty you need something radically NON-INDICATIVE OF POPULAR CULTURE. Ergo you need an isolated milieu, and it loses that magic when it stops being isolated. It's also not like there wasn't already an army for everyone.

lol, no. The only correct answer is Night Lords
I don't want female space marines, but I get wanting more than the Sisters of Battle. They're always religious fanatics serving as the militant arm of the Ecclesiarchy. If you want an army of power armor wearing women, and you don't want them to be battle nuns, you're not left with a lot of alternatives.
Giving the Guard some power armored elite troops would solve a lot of problems. Guard canonically doesn't give a frick about your tangly bits, so there's your power armored women no problem.
>Guard canonically doesn't give a frick about your tangly bits
Guard canonically cares about their soldiers not being COMPLETELY useless pathetic cowards. Which means they must by extension care about '''''dangly bits'''' (aka strength, stamina, general competence....).
When are we getting male Sisters of Battle?
never, there's explicit in lore reasons why there shouldn't be any
brothers of silence are good though
it isn't because they have a faction already, it's that there exists *other* factions that don't bend to their will. it doesn't matter how much stuff they have already when there's something that doesn't include them out there. its a literal sickness
I have a better question. So, everyone seems to want Sisters of Silence to get more attention. They could use more models. In Lore, it's canon then Genetic enhancements are a thing. Stormtroopers are often given a minor bump to strength and endurance, but you can push people up into Space Marine territory, it's just expensive and time consuming. SoS are an elite force who protect the fricking Emperor.
Why the frick didn't they just make Sisters of Silence ridiculously Gene-enhanced, maybe with a weaker version of the Custodes Genetic strain, pump their statline a bit closer to Space Marines and come out with more models?
I see one fundamental problem in your plan. It wouldn't make the chuds seethe. Or rather, likely would as capable women make chuds seethe by default, but it wouldn't make chuds seethe as much as femstodes do. So unless you can come up with a plan which maximizes the chud seethe, you kinda are getting nowhere.
You seem like a very unpleasant person.
>capable women
But custodes are the biggest jobbers in all of 40K
Because they wouldn't be Custodians. You are failing to understand the logic: it isn't that someone wants everybody to win and be happy. For them to win, the other guy has to lose because they are "wrong" and that is correlated with "evil".
cool, because The Emperor's Concubines were the Sisters of Silence and I am 100 behind them still existing but working within the Custodes cadre of regulations and the only reason we haven't heard of them within 40k is because they're doing their job doing reconnaissance work with the Custodes.
if this is coping, I call it re-applying coherency to the lore.
if they write a scene where a femstodes crushes a guardsman's skull with her thighs in excruciating detail all will be forgiven
oh my fricking god both sides are fricking moronic
I just wanna talk about the new custard changes and shit but no the entire 40k internet is just cultural wars now
Very based GW, 40k's too much of a sausage party.

What has that to do anything with me having a character I can relate to?

Grow up
I have, and now I'm asking GW to do the grown up thing and fulfill their promise of giving me a character I can relate to. It doesn't have to be in your face, I actually detest token trans characters whose transness is constantly underlined. Just something like a rogue trader lady who's background has a one line of being born as some noble male heir and left at that.

I don't NEED one, it was GW who explicitly said they will provide one. And it wouldn't be for me personally really, it's be for kids who play 40k so they can see you can be born as a boy and still end up as this cool space trader noble lady.
>I don't NEED one
>I'm asking GW
If you can't relate to a character without being pandered to, you're moronic.
"Relate to?" Frick off with that reddit shit. Only the most entiteld of shits demand "relatable" characters (read: characters that pander to your exact identity group).
It's 40k. Trans characters would be killed becuase the Imperium does NOT have time to deal with the shit we put up with.
>i demand to be able to related to something in a setting and it's gw fault it doesn't exist yet
deepstrike off a chair with the shortest rope you can find
Will also be able to relate to it once that thing fricking offs itself after their 400th birthday?
>custodes
>retconned into having female space marines
Does this goddamn moron think custards are marines?
It doesn't matter if he believes it himself, if he says they are at least some of his audience believes it and starts seething which is the goal.
Both custodes and marines are made with the emperors genetic material (with marines 1 step removed via primarchs). It's stupid to have female custodes and marines because you would have to somehow account for the missing Y chromosome when adapting females to the emperors genome. It makes no sense. Hand waving it away with space magic is lazy.
Except custodes aren't made with the emperor's genetic material, you have literally no leg to stand on this this assertion.
You know that males have both X and Y chromosomes, right anon? The male sperm determines the gender of a child, depending on whether the sperm carries an X or Y chromosome. Saying something is made from a man's genetic material absolutely does not prohibit the end result being female.
And Custodes aren't made from Emperor's genetic material, that is some loretuber spreading disinfo. They don't have any gene-seed or marine-style implants either.
Grey Knights are the ones made from Emp's geneseed.
GW sucks nuts: news at 11
Im just glad the Custodes are basically now the New Men for the Imperium. Making Bile a complete chump.
Absolute train wreck of a thread today chaps. Good job.
Where do you think you are?
I think GW just trying bait coomers in hobby.
and its 100% going to work
Dunno
doubt it
they won't be allowed to make the designs coom worthy
meh
There have been multiple already. You don't hear about them because most neckbeards scream they don't count.
In the fabius bile novels he created a race of new humans that are strong enough to take down a space marine, and their matriarchal society places vast importantance on the strongest woman who usually faithfully serves as fabius second in command. But hey, gene edited superwomen don't count because they aren't in power armor and don't have the same culture as space marines. OK.
Well, there is another that fabius comes across. She was a member of the nobility, she worshipped chaos and sacrificed a bunch of family and people. In return she got mutations, got as huge as a marine, and got as strong as marines. She starts killing marines, including chaos ones, and wearing their armour, until she earns a spot as a squad leader for a group of emperor's children. She has the culture, wears the power armour, does all the shit, and even has political opponents in the form of other marines that seem to make similar "no true scottsman" arguments of her marine status as plenty of anons do about female marines already.
>people keep saying that these characters who aren't space marines don't count as space marines
No shit, go frick yourself
are they fertile? are they breedable?
nice try Honsou
There'a a good chance GW opts to simply never mention it again. They don't disavow it, but then they never produce a single fem custode figure or head either
In a universe with advanced cybernetics, gene tailoring and other such BS, there should be no difference in potential power a body can achieve regardless of the gender.
>there should be no difference in potential power a body can achieve regardless of the gender.
>let's just throw sisters of battle under the bus
Come on, sisters are like the episodic character to the space marines' super duper protagonist status. The custodes getting girls is a step in the right direction.
yes there would be because female hips make them inherently weaker and slower due to the angles of the bones for one If you gene-edited females to be as strong as men you would just have to turn them into men, at which point whats the point?
God-Emperor? More like Goon-Emperor.
You sound upset
justifiably so.
It's never been more over

Extremely rare GW W. I wonder if we'll get specific kits for them or just heads?
I wonder if we'll be able to tell the female heads apart from the male ones.
Yeah, with GW face sculpting skills...
Do the custodes have a dress code about hairstyles? That could be used to identify the girls, I guess.
Jesus christ
Nuh-uh.
Women are also resources for the imperium. If they are capable enough and the technology works (there's no excuse for it not to), there should be female custodes.
That's fine with me. Women are nicer to look at anyways.
Oldgays don't generate sales. They already have their ridiculously huge collections and just complain about everything.
You need new sales? Gotta get to a new market.
oldgays do buy new models as they get updated and have more flexibility (thus increased likelyhood) to buy additional kits as the meta shifts
>space marines holding firm against ever increasing setbacks
as it was meant to be
marines holding firm against
STFU
You could not hold against a an old woman's queef. Custodes are marines It's the same fricking shit! Make them co-ed is one of the few ways to make female space marines obsolete. Just give them SUPER female space marines.
five years from now the two missing space marine groups will be revealed to have female primarchs
I will kill myself if that happens
They're bespoke genecrafted warriors, I don't see anything wrong with femstodes
Based
Although it probably wouldn't look great on the tabletop, having everyone be a different color.
the rainbow imperialis on the black and white one looks really good
I didn't realize the LGBT had so many flags. I only recognize a few of these.
Why does this scare you so much chud?
Scare? It disgusts me. Like looking at someone consuming fecal matter and maggots disgusts me.
the one from the left is female and the one at the right male?
What is really stopping female marines now?
Women can't produce (gene)seed.
Cawl will fix that
>What is really stopping female marines now?
Nothing. "Established lore" is not established. All-female factions will remain all-female however.
>Genetically engineered wienerholsters without the free will to decline getting their womb painted or doing the dishes
>Gdubs coming out in full support of male superiority and female subservience
Im laffin
Im thinkin' based.
Fricking hate this company
Why do these companies let themselves be degraded like this?
cash
Gonna have to ask Rick Priestly and Andy Chambers about this, James.
It's all so fricking tiresome.
I don't care that much for two big reasons.
1. There's never actually been a defined reason why women WOULDN'T work like is explicitly stated with Astartes. You could make a case for women being too weak but the alchemical changes are so extensive I really think the difference would be minimal in practical terms.
2. Modern warhammer fricking sucks dick already. GW could make female marines and I'd laugh and go about my business because they already ruined them with Primaris Marines. They're passing into an ocean of pure urine and if you care at this point you deserve it. Maybe try watching Marvel movies instead. That'd be just right for a modern 40k fan.
Is it really surprising after female Stormcast showed up?
did female stormcast even sell?
No idea but they've been pushing them like crazy, and they are basically Sigmars version of the Custodes.
No they don't. Why is Grummz still around? HE looks like a basedjak and yet his power grows due to their cowardice.
He ain't gonna like this
Is he not? I never got the impression of him being based, he uses the word "problematic" unironically and talked shit about the Black Templars before Valrak Templar-pilled him.
Fine, if that is how it must be, then we leave. We build our own setting, and when the company that hated us burns to the ground, and the locusts come for us. We scorn them at the gate and we watch them scream in agony and anguish. Because we shall remember, and we shall burn them for it.
You will not be missed.
And you will never find happiness in your life. For you have nothing but hate in your heart.
My happiness is not affected by something as trivial as GW lore. It has zero (0) impact on how I enjoy my hobby and I look down on anyone who takes it this seriously. It might be best that you step away and examine the path your life has taken.
le melodrama has arrived
cool
Who is John Galt and what army does he play?
Whichever army destroys planets by fricking off and leaving them alone.
Based incel. Post a picture of your melted miniatures.
I just hope they make new stormtrooper models. Love me Scions, love me Inquisitorial Troopers.
Simple As
Remember when you play against some homosexual who modelled female Custodes to describe in detail how she dies screaming and puking blood and shitting herself when the model is removed as a casualty after being hacked to bits by chain axes/ripped apart by hideous alien space bugs/set ablaze by flamers or melta weapons etc etc
These people want "diversity and inclusion" in the horrific grimy apocalyptic disgusting gore-filled slaughterhouse universe that is Warhammer 40k, remind them what that actually means.
This doesn't sound badass when you say it out loud to some rando in a store, nor it is worth posting in multiple threads.
You dont say the entire thing out every time anon, you just point out each horrific death in it's own novel and fitting way. Drive in the suffering and violence. That's what the setting is all about, after all. It's just good "forging the narrative".
And if you're called cringe or weird multiple times before the manager throws you out for talking creepy to kids?
Why would I ever waste time doing this? Turns are long enough as it is without adding your cringey RP bullshit to it. This is a wargame we're playing, not an invitation to your magical realm, homosexual.
Im going to rape them
>Anon, we need to talk. This is a family store and I can't have you loudly yelling out that Dark Eldar is shoving his agonizer in and out of female places that I can't name in front of the mums who brought their kids in to buy marines.
It was good while it lasted.
All female custodes should be ugly and have no natural breasts like most female roidettes. They should all look like super mutants or at the very best, Becca Swanson. If you disagree you're either a reddit coomer or a simp homosexual.
>Big E builds a bunch of custom bio-holes for his harem
>eh, I'll make them tomboys and challenge them to sexy wrestling matches, too
>time for a little chemical X to make them super horny
>wait, what, not fricking now Horus, my tomboy harem is making those ahegao faces at me
10k years is one hell of a dry spell
GW wants coomershit, give them coomershit
Sigmarines will just get more new sigmarines, just like marines get half of range axed to make room for more pirmaris, meanwhile Franz in nowhere to be found in dead game that is Old World.
I just have no idea why this is a big deal at all lol
Feels good to not be a marinegay
He is right
>when the wolfs started to ride stormwolfs
Hasn't everyone been making fun of that since the the Thunderwolf Cavalry released? 'Drill your buttholes' and so forth?
No I just think gw did a shit job at doing this retcon, if they wanted to do this they should have in their first army book in 8th, and incorporated it into horus heresy and custodes focused novels. Now we have it done after the fact and there are 0 female cutsodes doing anything of note in any HH novel. They basically waited until they had 0 opportunities to weave it into the setting background easily and then made the change
Eh, at least it's now canon-compliant to use femstode Eye of the Emperor as an excuse to put a big mommy into 40k RP campaign.
the only people to clap at those changes are the ones clapping at this recent one it seemed like
No he isn't. Necrons getting reworked was okay because the whole faction was rewritten and rewritten to something more than a gimmick. What people don't like is the arbitrary changing of pre-existing lore and hand waving it in a lazy tweet, all for the sake of pandering to a tiny fraction of people who care more about their identity than the setting they're ruining. It'd be like the GW twitter team just one day declaring out of the blue that all blood angels are gay, with not explanation or reasoning why other than "they always have been, because we said so".
Blood Angels' implantation process reads like them giving teens a spiked drink and carrying them to a tower (alabaster like their dicks) to get seeded while unconscious.
>All the aspirants are left to observe vigil in the great Chapel of the Chapter, before drinking from the Sanguinary Chalice brought to them by the Sanguinary Priests. Slumber soon over takes them and the aspirants are borne by Servitors to the Alabaster Tower where the gene-seed of Sanguinius is implanted in their recumbent bodies.
tfw Astartes date rape
That's sad. There's more in lore reason for blood angels to be manufactured homos through gay date rape than there is for femcustodes to even exist. GW is just being frickin' lazy.
>my dear dudes
stopped reading here
homosexual moron pretending that people didn't rage at that too.
Imagine being such a loser to be mad about this.
GW can write the lore however they want and you can't do anything about that.
AoS got downsized? They just got two big update waves for armies and are getting a new edition.
All this shit fest for one of the least popular factions.
Imagine the mental breakdown of this board when female space marines happens.
We can only hope.
why this fricking obsession with female loyalist marines
there's a fricking lore friendly way to make it happen with chaos
Because, despite the imperium being "fascist" in their eyes, it's the big selling point.
I don't get it either.
Some people want to see themselves in the minis or something. I get wanting a like, armies with aesthetics reminiscent of your culture, thinking a samurai twist on space marines knight shit, or whatever. But demanding it all else as a requirement is baffling to me. I love orks and nurgle because I like how creative the models are, and I love the texture of rot and rust to paint. Not that I want to see myself in those factions.
I'd bet its probably because most people are used to the posterboy faction being the heroes and they cant square the difference with 40k
Remember how the emperor made primarchs and astartes all male so that they could never independently succeed mankind as a new species?
Apologize
You weren't the first womyn in golden armor. I'm sorry.
So we're all going to Turnip28 right?
>custodes can't disobey the emperor, not even mentally
It was rape. I don't think GW thought this through, you realize this is problematic, yeah?
Are you talking to the right person right now
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.
Absolutely no joy or whimsy or zest for life in your soul
None whatsoever. I play historicals.
Fair
I'm going to hotglue them.
So how comes so far for decades of the franchise no female custodes has been allowed to speak, have their name called out or even be allowed to take off their helmet? Have they been using their helmets as auramite burqas this entire time?
Custodes in general were a background element with no presence 99% of the time until a few years ago. Easy enough to handwave.
Do you think the emperor ever forced them to wear short skirts
They wear harem outfits.
That's the Adepta Onahole to you, pleb.
If their logic is female custodes wear the same armour as male once and you wouldn’t see their gender behind the helmet it’s alright. If they get feminine boob shaped armour it will be fricking cringe
>40k thing is cringe
And water is wet
At least under Kirby we wouldn't have this bullshit.
It would still be bad tho.
seems like the plan is probably just to add female heads to new models (lmao custodes getting more than one model). Honestly its a smart move from a buisness standpoint, make 0 changes to the body sculpting and just slap a head on it and be done. Literally could just copy paste a slightly upscaled SiS head onto the sprue and call it a day
I'm going to pretend that all the custodes that got clapped by harlequins were women
Why lie though? It's weird.
Just admit it's a retcon and move on.
Everyone knows it's a lie, and it just makes people wonder why you are trying to gaslight them.
>Why lie though? It's weird.
>Just admit it's a retcon and move on.
They are just doing the same shit as they did when they revealed the Warmaster titan.
Ie. it always existed.
And funny thing is no one cared that GW did that with the Warmaster titan.
People now only care because politics are involved.
They are all hypocrites.
>make good change
>no complaints
>make bad change
>complaints
wtf?? hypocrites much??
Frankly it's always how they deal with retcons, just pretending that the new thing they say has always been the case, even when contradictory. The only time I can ever recall GW explicitly admitting a retcon is when they changed their mind on the century-long timeskip to the end of the Indomitus Crusade, hence the re-edits of the Dark Imperium novels.
I think this is the worst part about it. It's not just that they've made a massive retcon to lore for purely political reasons (anyone who says otherwise is a fricking liar), it's pretending that they're acting with a moral political justification which is wrong on so many fricking levels I don't know where to start. This is a hobby, a fun, alternative thing from the real world, and I should not have real-world political morality shoved down my throat. I do not want to be moralised to in fiction, and I do not want that turned into a real-world political thing either. It's fricking tiresome.
escapism is for cowards. All escapism does is prevent you from fixing your life.
My life is fine, I just hate that fiction is becoming indistinguishable from the real world. I do not want to be moralised to about climate change or sexism or racism or not-orange man in a fictional setting.
coward
So you hate giant women in power armor because it would be too realistic?
if you can't distinguish fiction from reality you're probably a schizo
if you are okay with this you are a troony loving homosexual. simple as.
yes, and that's a good thing
Come on, paypigges, keep supporting GW
I know you will.
The Emperor's Sleeves.
So are they bringing back female marines? Was a mistake to remove them in the first place with how all ya incels behave.
People forgetting or not knowing the used to be female space marines in older canon.
They aren't added a new thing, they are bringing back an old thing.
Post proof (and models while you're at it).
