dubious, but Custodes are artisanally produced handcrafted snowflakes with no two having exactly the same genetic modifications, so it exists in a blind spot of existing lore where there's no forbiddance or impossibility. Space Marines were and are all men because Big E didn't want transhumans to replace baseline humanity, thus no females and the modifications are all jacked into their bodies in the form of epigenetic mods and surgical grafts of new organs & don't actually affect their genome as far as being able to pass anything on, with their being sterile or able to have normal human children being a wishy-washy book by book or Chapter by Chapter thing. I don't worry about this save as to whether it'll be a gateway to fem-Primaris, because somehow Gdubs will decide on boobplate marines instead of just making it a headswap when Sisters already exist. God forbid they retcon the millenia long Astartes boys club on a whim
Might be, but we don't know for sure. During and after the Thunder Warriors, but before spess mehreens, Biggie E already had some of his Custodian Guard, but whether they already were adeptus custodes or not is subject to question. Some Custodes bring up how they walked with the emperor so there's that. They might have been the template for marines, Custodes are the artesanal concept product and marines were the ford factory line version of Custodes.
don't forget the Thunder Warriors being rat rodded Model Ts with a planned obsolescence best-by date, made specifically to be discarded as relics of the Mad Max pre-unification Terra

Sisters of Silence aren't custodes, they're just female blanks. They're otherwise normal humans. Custodes are genetically augmented and transformed as children, like space marines, but even more intense. They're like 9 feet tall at least
>The Sisterhood recruits Blanks from a great many sources, which vary from Vigil to Vigil. Some have ended up among the Imperial Tithe, their worlds eager to be rid of the pariahs. Others are handed over by the Inquisition or Rogue Traders. Rumors persist that the Sisterhood themselves maintain genetically stable bloodlines of Pariahs, breeding new Sisters for recruitment.[16]
>Once recruited, aspiring Sisters known as Proloquors begin gruelling training and a range lesser duties. Only once they have proven themselves worthy of the Sisterhood's high standards are they inducted fully. Upon becoming a full member they take the Vow of Tranquility, never speaking again.
Not quite, Custodes are recruited from the noble families of Terra handing their children over, which is a great honor. We don't know what's done to them, it's all very secret, but they're basically completely transformed genetically. Its described as alchemy. Space Marines are mass produced but Custodes are individually handcrafted.

oh no i see now
Welp, place your bets for female marines.
Once you see that you will know fully that 40k is beyond fixing.
Technically there was never any rule stating that Custodes had to be female unlike with marines, it's just sorta random. Ganker is secondary central so I know nobody cares about the setting besides memes here but it's a bigger deal that their 10e book is absolute dogshit
Handcrafted pieces Vs gene therapy procration utilizing the seeds from progenoid glands which are male only organs and don't bond with female hormones and bodies in general? Makes sort of sense, but then again, they keep pointing out how gruesome and inhumane the marine creation processes and tests are. And then the custodes are even stronger, tougher and more loyal.
explain
its real
disgusting
let me guess, when they say custodian they mean in the traditional sense and not custodian that guards big E

Don't care
My (head)canon is that Custodes are only male and that aligns better with the rest of the canon than this new piece of canon.
>headcanon
have a nice day
girls are yucky
KINO
Wasn't this already canon? the Sisters of Silence are a thing.

I was under the impression they were all vat grown.

No. Custodes.

This is enough to tell 40K is beyond saving. The fact you maintain hope shows how moronic you are.
We lost the culture war. Anita Sarkessian won.
hey i don't play 40k, i have seen things going south since before primaris. this just feels like the final nail in the coffin.
If anything, I think this makes female marines less likely.

Fricking finally.
They retconned them to be men only in 8th because the execs were still assmsd about Chapterhouse, so if anything this is a reretcon.
In my head warhammer 40k ended on the 7th edition, the rest is fan fiction (I may accept minor parts of the 8th edition).
So the Emperor canonically had sex with his Custodes?
Please stop GW, but if you want this war, we will give you one.
This easy. I don’t want culture politics in my game. You want powerful female warriors, cool add something new.
Change the lore for obvious political reasons and I’m done buying. Easy response. Learn the lesson that we don’t want politics in our games.
