I would reply seriously to this thread but you know what? There’s already been like five threads on this and the janny already nuked all but one of em, and it won’t be long before they nuke this one too, so why bother, I’ll just throw my reply into the main thread
It is. And even people on fricking twitter are calling bullshit and being blocked, posts here and on reddit are being nuked, comments are off on Youtube. Those frickers just destroyed their own IP, and for what?
>buy the latest codex and models anyway.
But they are not going to support the show. The showrunners do not give a single frick about the figures and rules. They want viewers and positive engagement.
What show?
All 40k shows are on warhammer+ service that GW also use for rules.
You will cry about femstodes and then buy codex new model and renew your monthly subscription. Shows and books are just adverts for minis.
I can understand Reddit doing this, but why would unpaid volunteer jannies on Ganker try and shut down discussion of this? What do they get out of it? Should we treat this as the third Gamergate?
lmao you are not that slick and all of the hucksters moved on to better paying grifts. You'll just keep shitting your pants with buzzwords you don't know the real meaning of, like every other day of your pathetic wretched waste of a life. Cry more about tweets of plastic toys if you want to, but don't mistake it for anything important.
>Those frickers just destroyed their own IP, and for what?
Anon they destroyed their IP with psycic awakening in 8th ed, you are just been rooting for the maggots or the corpses at this point.
>Those frickers just destroyed their own IP
No they didn't. The average 40kcel will tantrum for a few weeks and then go right back to consooming. The worst that will happen is that a few of them will not return, but they will be replaced by a new generation of diverse consoomers (who, ironically, will probably smell better).
It go against the whole "I don't create female genetically enhanced men because my whole is stick is baseline mankind and I'm not replacing it with another specie" bit about the emperor.
It cheapen the frankeinstein theme of the space marine and the imperium at large. What was the last time GW remenbered that astarte are less human not more?
It is done only because of ideology and will be badly handled.
Space marine always had a theme about being lessened in their humanity. A lot of old art show them with surgical scar. They always have a living weapon and not much else theme. Nowadays SM are just heroic super men. They lost a lot of what make them interesting.
>Space marine always had a theme about being lessened in their humanity.
Frankenstein's monster was shunned by humanity whereas the Space Marines are worshiped, no matter how fricked up they look.
Are you forgetting about a little thing called the Horus Heresy, anon? Petty Space Marines destroying the Imperium on Terra of all places, and all that jazz...
Custodes can't reproduce. They don't even use any part of the original infant except the soul. Everything else is ripped away and recreated from scratch.
Because all gene seeds are MALE because they originate from the EMPEROR who is MALE.
When you say "female space marine" what youre basically saying is putting a penis (gene seed) on a woman make her a man (space marine).
>Gene-seed is the colloquial term used amongst the Adeptus Astartes for the genetic material that allows for the creation of the superhuman Space Marines.
>The gene-seed is actually the catch-all term for those germ cells and viral machines that have been genetically-engineered to develop into the various organs that are implanted into a normal Human adolescent male to transform him into a transhuman Astartes.
Imagine if you will for a moment, you are trying to build a car that can go from zero to 60 in under 3 seconds.
Which car would you rather start with? a honda civic? or a dodge challenger? Now you could get both cars to do this, but, your already going to be half way there with a challenger then a civic.
Men are already designed to be warriors, women are not.
Also here is the counter point to the question. "Why cant space marines or custodes be women?"
Ill answer that question when you answer me this, "Why should they be?"
Honda civics are a lot cheaper and easier to upgrade/alter than a challenger, it's why they're so popular for tuners, that and they're lighter which means a quicker 0 to 60
But why did it need to change, in this very specific way, at this time, as if testing the waters?
This wasn't just a random turn in the tide and you're fully aware of that, you disingenuous axe wound stretcher.
If 40k were truly just le wacky neckbeard toy soldier collecting game where the setting shifts "all the time xddd" and nothing matters, why as go as far as this hill in particular and no further?
In all honesty, rope yourself.
>blatantly does
No it doesn't. >b-but sons...
It doesn't say there were never daughters. Anyway, cry more. I'm sure five more threads of pearl clutching will make daddy GW care.
>then gaslight that the thing they changed was always this way
I think the tweet is simply saying the background lore has been retconned, something that happens all the time with traditional games settings, and not that there were female custodes in earlier editions of warhammer.
What are you even talking about? I can't comprehend your argument. If you retcon something and say the previous information is now inaccurate It doesn't stop it from being a retcon.
>"Actually, where does it say Custodes have to be dudes?" >"There's a handful of lines referencing they are taken from sons of nobles or just called collectively men." >"So nothing actually saying "no girls allowed" like it has with marines?" >"Nope."
Wow that was such a deep and thorough retcon, just lines upon lines of text eradicated, how will we ever recover?
Why even open your mouth if you're not gonna say anything new or that contradicts that anon's statement? Yes they were called men, no its not a big deal. Angry little boys you are.
I couldn't give the slightest frick about this parody of a setting, but I have really enjoyed the utter fricking meltdown this caused and all the angry blatant Gankerner kids in the comments lmao
Imagine using meme arrows and "cuck" and "troon" outside of this site lmfao
I don't het the reasoning behind it. It's obviously not to pander to female players - not a single female player I know have ever expressed interest in fem marines or custodes.
They're not there because the female players who want female armies are turned off by the lack of representation. GW has to do this to grow the market and capture that audience.
Is this going to make you gays finally stop paypigging for GW? Because if you actually fricking care, you need to start acting like it, instead of grumbling in threads where no one who cares will see you. Stop buying their shit. Sell off your stacks of unpainted minis. Find another fricking hobby. This one is run by c**ts.
They will never stop. You have to understand that GW chimps' hobby isn't miniature wargaming or building and painting miniatures. Their hobby is purchasing GW products.
>Promote Female Custodes >But ignore Sisters of Silence, Sisters of Battle, or female Inquisitors/Ecclesiarchy where the real power is. >Somehow GW thinks this will get more mainstream paypigs when most femplayers are Slaanesh, Tau, or Drukharigays who either hate or are apathetic to Astartes or Custodes units/lore in general.
They must be really desparate for shekles after the Sigmar frickups and the Codex nerfs/army retcons. Though if they really want to shit the bed, let Matt Ward write the new FemCustodes as even bigger smurfs that Gullimeme could ever be.
>a multi-million dollar corporation adding optional plastic female heads to some plastic toys in an attempt to get more people to buy them is LITERALLY communism
You homosexuals will keep buying the game though. You're deep into the sunk cost fallacy and will keep paying no matter how much GW spits in your face.
Meanwhile anyone who actually played those editions know that there were female models when they supposedly "couldn't" make any. >b-but muh cheap revisionism
Shove it up your ass.
t. someone who hasn't given GW money in well over a decade.
No, but it's still funny that they've deluded themselves into thinking girls would actually buy more overpriced models just cause of this one pointless change
I'm very firmly convinced that women can't have the kind of autism that makes you want to play tabletop wargames. It just doesn't happen, or is at least statistically negligible. There's at most crossover with insect autism and that's the few chicks that play tyranids and wish they had way more complicated classifications.
Arw we talking women women or the sort of women who go to /r/actuallesbians to extol the virtues of girldick and and to cry about the lack of cisbians in online spaces and dating apps any more
No they haven't? Some female characters in the custodes doesn't equate to warhammer being just like America. Last I checked they still worship the emperor, not the president.
female custodes demonstrates that the people in charge believe more strongly in appeasing modern cultural beliefs than maintaining internal logic/consistency in an imperialistic setting in which males and females are kept in strictly separate orders.
>female custodes demonstrates that the people in charge believe more strongly in appeasing modern cultural beliefs than maintaining internal logic/consistency
It's reddithammer, there is no internal logic/consistency, things get retconned all the time. >in an imperialistic setting in which males and females are kept in strictly separate orders
Not really, there are plenty of co-ed armies. It's just the space marines and sisters of battle who are male and female only respectively and those armies are like 1% of the population.
Mark my words, within 10 years 40k will be sanitised to the point where the imperium of humanity (can't say man) will be openly allied with the Eldar and Tau, slannesh will be dropped entirely from the lore and the galaxy will be united in a war against the nids or some other lame trash outcome. They'll even find a way to retcon orks into being misunderstood or some shit.
>shit codex >Twitter gaslighting
What makes this unironically worse/better is that the Kesh story make all the custodes look like morons and not the enlighten proper super humans that everyone envisions them to be
Custodes are the biggest joke faction. They're supposed to be Space Marines++ but they also sell like shit so there are tons of stories of Space Marines beating Custodes in 1vs1
Star Wars is ours. Star Trek is ours. Warhammer is ours. Game of Thrones is ours. Dune is ours. Lord of the Rings is ours. Anything of any cultural significance belongs to us now.
You've lost. Deal with it. Go crawl under a rock and be irrelevant there.

Thanks anon, cool reply 🙂
Same I will give him a pity reply for his pity reply party!
HAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHA
Is what true? I'm not going on Twatter.
It is. And even people on fricking twitter are calling bullshit and being blocked, posts here and on reddit are being nuked, comments are off on Youtube. Those frickers just destroyed their own IP, and for what?
>It is.
What is? I have no idea what the frick you're talking about.
GW retconned Custodes to have always have had women in their ranks.
>Those frickers just destroyed their own IP
lmao holy cope
>It is.
WHAT IS? I'M NOT GOING ON TWITTER.

40k fans are gonna b***h on Ganker and twitter and Youtube comments, then buy the latest codex and models anyway.

I gave an extremely good answer to this, but along with the several dozen deleted posts, all actual discussion is intentionally deleted by them.

In all fairness their comment section on youtube has always been disabled.
>"Custodes, aka Gold Space Marines, were always women"
>t. GW staff who were not around when Custodes were given their first models
Feminisation of the hobby. Though this is more a symptom than the disease itself.
>its actually capitalist for gw to reach a wider market of consumers
Odd, they seem to be changing their market rather than widening it.
Unless there is an announcement on GW's website, I believe nothing.
You forgot.
>What changes? It was always like this 😉
What's wrong with female custodes?
Your taste is trash, panda.
It go against the whole "I don't create female genetically enhanced men because my whole is stick is baseline mankind and I'm not replacing it with another specie" bit about the emperor.
It cheapen the frankeinstein theme of the space marine and the imperium at large. What was the last time GW remenbered that astarte are less human not more?
It is done only because of ideology and will be badly handled.
They've never once played the Frankenstein angle. You made that up in your head, and I'm willing to bet you did it in the last 30 hours.
Space marine always had a theme about being lessened in their humanity. A lot of old art show them with surgical scar. They always have a living weapon and not much else theme. Nowadays SM are just heroic super men. They lost a lot of what make them interesting.
I will admit that there's been the Deformed By Power thing always there but it's not what I associate with Frankenstein (either one of them).
I meant franskeinstein as man made monster, not frankeinstein as tragic figure.
>Space marine always had a theme about being lessened in their humanity.
Frankenstein's monster was shunned by humanity whereas the Space Marines are worshiped, no matter how fricked up they look.
Are you forgetting about a little thing called the Horus Heresy, anon? Petty Space Marines destroying the Imperium on Terra of all places, and all that jazz...
Custodes can't reproduce. They don't even use any part of the original infant except the soul. Everything else is ripped away and recreated from scratch.
tIf so, then there is no need for a gender. So why has all the material/models published to date identify them as men? Especially models.
>I created you as a glimpse of what humanity could achieve, but you must never replace them.
>So no breeding!
>You got it boss.
Not to mention that even if they can reproduce, whos to say any of their alchemical bullshit can be inherited anyway?
Because all gene seeds are MALE because they originate from the EMPEROR who is MALE.
When you say "female space marine" what youre basically saying is putting a penis (gene seed) on a woman make her a man (space marine).
>Custodes
>Geneseed
The Emperor had an X chromosome.
Did you know that male sperm can make female children?
Geneseed is just a PG-13 term for magic space cum.
Why lie like this?
>Gene-seed is the colloquial term used amongst the Adeptus Astartes for the genetic material that allows for the creation of the superhuman Space Marines.
>The gene-seed is actually the catch-all term for those germ cells and viral machines that have been genetically-engineered to develop into the various organs that are implanted into a normal Human adolescent male to transform him into a transhuman Astartes.
And nothing about that indicates it couldn't work on a female.
>And nothing about that indicates it couldn't work on a female.
It's already explained in the lore that Space Marine gene-seed is only for males..
Custards don't have gene-seed cuckenheim
custodes dont use a geneseed you dumdum

Also here is the counter point to the question. "Why cant space marines or custodes be women?"
Ill answer that question when you answer me this, "Why should they be?"
That's not how things work in 40k. Female and male humans have identical stats.
Honda civics are a lot cheaper and easier to upgrade/alter than a challenger, it's why they're so popular for tuners, that and they're lighter which means a quicker 0 to 60
I hate women
But I also hate custodes so it's all good
Is not how the story was made
It's a better story with booba.
The story has booba, just not on the custodes or SM
You're just not thinking big enough
>le heckin wholesome chungus booberinos!
>yass, wimminz!
not an argument
Don't care, didn't ask.
It's a tabletop game setting, the story changes all the time.
>It's a tabletop game setting
And so?
and so the story changes all the time.
But why did it need to change, in this very specific way, at this time, as if testing the waters?
This wasn't just a random turn in the tide and you're fully aware of that, you disingenuous axe wound stretcher.
If 40k were truly just le wacky neckbeard toy soldier collecting game where the setting shifts "all the time xddd" and nothing matters, why as go as far as this hill in particular and no further?
In all honesty, rope yourself.
look up the original Necrons before they got retconned to hell
for 30 years there havent been any. they wrote HH for more than 10 years now with not a single mention of female custodes.
its absolutely clear that its a brainfart of a new influential entitity within GW that doesnt care about the lore but political reasons.
nothing as it doesn't go against the lore
nordicchad told me so
This
"sons", "brothers" and "brotherhood" are gender neutral terms
>it doesn't go against the lore
>blatantly does
>GW's LORE CHUD
have a nice day you fricking moron.
>blatantly does
No it doesn't.
>b-but sons...
It doesn't say there were never daughters. Anyway, cry more. I'm sure five more threads of pearl clutching will make daddy GW care.
you're literally the crying basedjak, so you're wrong.
destruction is a good thing and we will continue to do so for as long as it annoys you specifically.
>then gaslight that the thing they changed was always this way
I think the tweet is simply saying the background lore has been retconned, something that happens all the time with traditional games settings, and not that there were female custodes in earlier editions of warhammer.
>warhammer
>ever a decent hobby
lmao paypigs say the funniest things
No, It's a blatant retcon. Anyone saying anything else is being disingenuous at best.
Guess all that was just plain inaccurate, it's not a retcon.
What are you even talking about? I can't comprehend your argument. If you retcon something and say the previous information is now inaccurate It doesn't stop it from being a retcon.
Anon point me to page in 8th, 9th or 10th ed Marines codex saying that gene-seed require marine to be male. Don't use 30k forge world book.
>"Actually, where does it say Custodes have to be dudes?"
>"There's a handful of lines referencing they are taken from sons of nobles or just called collectively men."
>"So nothing actually saying "no girls allowed" like it has with marines?"

Wow that was such a deep and thorough retcon, just lines upon lines of text eradicated, how will we ever recover?
>It is known (!) that all (!) custodians begin their lives as the infant sons (!) of noble houses of Terra.
At least pretend to be literate.
Known by who? Lorelets thinking this is gospel are pathetic.
Why even open your mouth if you're not gonna say anything new or that contradicts that anon's statement? Yes they were called men, no its not a big deal. Angry little boys you are.
>>it is known
Well, whoever "knew" that was wrong. Phew. That was hard.
I was referring to GW's claim (From the tweet) that there had always been female custodes
It's from the official account, that makes it true and canon. Mald, seeth, cope, doesn't matter.
I couldn't give the slightest frick about this parody of a setting, but I have really enjoyed the utter fricking meltdown this caused and all the angry blatant Gankerner kids in the comments lmao
Imagine using meme arrows and "cuck" and "troon" outside of this site lmfao
been trolling them for hours. good times. they fet so fricking angry lmao
Agreed.
Can't wait for female space marines, the seething will be even more glorious.
I don't het the reasoning behind it. It's obviously not to pander to female players - not a single female player I know have ever expressed interest in fem marines or custodes.
Market research
Worse. ESG and trying to get the redditors who cry about femmarines to actually buy minis.
I have no idea what an ESG is because I'm not a nutcase
The fact that you default to calling it a nutcase thing means you know a lot more about it than most.
They're not there because the female players who want female armies are turned off by the lack of representation. GW has to do this to grow the market and capture that audience.
It's effectively a religious ritual desecration
Is this going to make you gays finally stop paypigging for GW?

as one of those, I would really like Misters of Battle actually.
>a multi-million dollar corporation adding optional plastic female heads to some plastic toys in an attempt to get more people to buy them is LITERALLY communism

How will that happen? Women don't give a shit about 40k either way and some men will leave.
>communism is when corporations do things I don't like
You can't actually be this fricking stupid
You homosexuals will keep buying the game though. You're deep into the sunk cost fallacy and will keep paying no matter how much GW spits in your face.
Can't wait for female space Marines.
You don't know what "communism" even means or is.
Boomers have misled you. Communism is not a word that means "anything I don't like."
femarines were always a thing darling
Meanwhile anyone who actually played those editions know that there were female models when they supposedly "couldn't" make any.
>b-but muh cheap revisionism
Shove it up your ass.
t. someone who hasn't given GW money in well over a decade.
Where are they, then?
you're right, the story doesn't matter.
Yes
chuds with no integrity continue to consoom GW products
Did anyone honestly expect this not to happen after that whole "nazi" player incident and how they hired troons as writers for Space Marine 2?
No, but it's still funny that they've deluded themselves into thinking girls would actually buy more overpriced models just cause of this one pointless change
I'm very firmly convinced that women can't have the kind of autism that makes you want to play tabletop wargames. It just doesn't happen, or is at least statistically negligible. There's at most crossover with insect autism and that's the few chicks that play tyranids and wish they had way more complicated classifications.
It doesn't matter, because trannies are unhinged enough to spitebuy models
Women want to play with dolls
These dolls have bolters

>All the comments that support this have a troon flag in their name
lmao as expected. Actual women don't care about this crap.
There have always been male sisters of battle
The Misters of Silence have always existed. The Codex breaststartes says so my zisterkin
When was the last time game company openly shitting on their own lore turned the game better?
>female custodes
shirley he means the sister of silence right? they're literally female custodes
That's it, lads.
They've finally decided to just say frick it and turn yet another fantasy/sci-fi setting into a carbon copy of 21st century liberal America.
No they haven't? Some female characters in the custodes doesn't equate to warhammer being just like America. Last I checked they still worship the emperor, not the president.
female custodes demonstrates that the people in charge believe more strongly in appeasing modern cultural beliefs than maintaining internal logic/consistency in an imperialistic setting in which males and females are kept in strictly separate orders.
>female custodes demonstrates that the people in charge believe more strongly in appeasing modern cultural beliefs than maintaining internal logic/consistency
It's reddithammer, there is no internal logic/consistency, things get retconned all the time.

Not really, there are plenty of co-ed armies. It's just the space marines and sisters of battle who are male and female only respectively and those armies are like 1% of the population.
aaaaaaaand the custodes and sisters of silence
Mark my words, within 10 years 40k will be sanitised to the point where the imperium of humanity (can't say man) will be openly allied with the Eldar and Tau, slannesh will be dropped entirely from the lore and the galaxy will be united in a war against the nids or some other lame trash outcome. They'll even find a way to retcon orks into being misunderstood or some shit.
Slaanesh will only be referred to as a they and be the misunderstood chaos god.
40k is more than just the Imperium you know
>shit codex
>Twitter gaslighting
What makes this unironically worse/better is that the Kesh story make all the custodes look like morons and not the enlighten proper super humans that everyone envisions them to be
Isn't the codex also full of stories and art of Custards getting absolutely bodied?
Havent seen that yet, but if it is, even better
Custodes are the biggest joke faction. They're supposed to be Space Marines++ but they also sell like shit so there are tons of stories of Space Marines beating Custodes in 1vs1
Pre-maris Black Templars wiped out a whole detachment of em iirc. Or maybe it was an even less relevant chapter
Whelp glad I didn't invest in the Old World before they shit that up too.
Star Wars is ours. Star Trek is ours. Warhammer is ours. Game of Thrones is ours. Dune is ours. Lord of the Rings is ours. Anything of any cultural significance belongs to us now.
You've lost. Deal with it. Go crawl under a rock and be irrelevant there.

its ogre
I'm surprised this is still up and not deleted for "trolling".
There have always been Brothers of Silence
There have always been white Salamanders
There have always been male Sororitas
It's all so tiresome.
