It's the performative outrage element that gets me. Does anyone truly believe that a WH fan is going to, as some in this thread have said, throw away their models? Existing models, with ungodly amounts of time invested to painstakingly prepping them and painting them, just in the bin? All because modern GW said a heckin SJW wrong think?
Honestly, with how small that blurb about Female Custodes was, I could see them just going "Oh ye, select sisters of silence get picked for this project" ans boom theres your explanation. Stupid? Yes. But the 40k universe and lore functions on pretzel.logic sometimes.
Custodes are made from pre-pubescent boys, not adults, and I imagine the warpcraft shenanigans they use alongside the genetic modification simply wouldn't stick on a blank.
Oh please, the Custodes were already gay as fuck. Cant make em anymore gayer.
GW has been moved by shortsighted greed for most of it's lifecycle (and sadly has almost never been punished for it's fuckups). Love it or hate it, there is a clear train of thought to Primaris "marines are our most popular line but everyone has it, how about we refresh the whole thing and eventually invalidate old collecyions in mass?". Or "we need a new faction since orks still sell like shit, and people seem to like dwarfs, lets make some shit up about not squats and see if that gets traction".
Depends. Being a psychic blank is still a huge boon, but if a custodes can also be a sister of silence, than yeah. They are cooked.
Lets not be melodramatic either. I already had to mention this during the pozzening of D&D, but this is a hobby that involves interacting with people in the real world. It may be easier or harder to find like minded people, but unless your groove is to go to tournaments, you can stick to your circle and enjoy it between yourselfs.
They are ass and it's one of the things I constantly tell people to do. Try other systems and model ranges. Kings of War is fantastic as a system and allows a ton of self expression, Firefight is neat and OPR is perfectly functional if you just want an excuse to push models around. If you are all about the hobby, other systems can give you great excuses to start other projects as well.
They are already there, but are "sisters" silly
I was looking forward to hearing how the new rules were going to make SoS and Custodes interact more. The Watcher of the Throne books had such a cool interaction between them. Had a combat patrol box with some SoS put together for my Inquisition agents for kill team. I was going to build out that box into an army but now… I guess I have a combat patrol box of custodes and that’s it.
I mean the writing was on the wall with Primaris. Everyone casually accepting that while First Born was quietly tabled should’ve been a sign.
nope binning, uninstalled, rest in piss. no more melty paypigging for plastic or vidya for gw, maye their memories be damned as traitors should.
whenever something spits in my face i want it to die completely, i mean star wars is dead to the point younger kids ive talked to dont know it was ever a cultural icon. i prefer for something to point to "look this thing is forgotten and no one plays it even for free"
Their blank nature would fuck with the cohesion of the Custodes and psychic powers. Blanks disrupt the connection to the Warp, can you imagine what a Sister of Silence Companion could do to the Golden Throne or the Astronomican? They also create an unease among non-psychic individuals as everyone can sense their soulless existence. A blank Custodes would be a weak link in the team; something the Custodes could not operate with.
May I give you an introductory primer to the wonderful world of SLA printing, homebrewing and enjoying your hobby while giving the company none of your money?
Fair enough, I did the same with Star Wars after The Last Jedi. Just saying that if you are willing to do it and find likeminded people, you can stick to playing whatever edition you lot enjoy and get models second hand or from printing purposes (or my biggest suggestion, get into a new game, even if for modelling purposes).
Yeah, that's always the worst part, the "na na, fuck you caveman" dance that always comes with this sort of shit. I want my fucking boy hobby to be my boy hobby since you faggots have already ruined so many of them (and even then, it will remain a boy hobby since outside of clout chasing whores, most women just aren't interested outside of painting some stuff, trannies and numales is a whole other story). But even if you think women are people, you still get branded as a mysogykneest and any discussion is outright killed. I wouldn't be surprised if this shit didn't sit right with a surprising amount of people, but they have zero desire to broach the topic to not have to deal with accusations of being an ist, nobody will give you shit for calling the Vootan line shit or that the sigmarines look like ass, but dare criticize a single lesbian bull dike half cur or that maybe you thought the aesthetics when custodes were the boys and the sisters the girls was cooler and by fucking god, it's all fire and brimstone.also some minor ecelebs like vinesauce third stringer rev and some guy from dbz abriged are trying to clout chase the situation:
i doubt they play and i felt like wokehammer had a bit more participants than usual so its another "pump you up while you kill yourself then leave instead of supporting you" type deal from people who ig are adjacent to this sphere but only had interest in this moment to virtue signal
he was an autist obsessed with sigils he probably never met a woman
the whole point of custodes are to be the bodyguards of the emperor. null maidens aren't allowed to be too close to the emperor because he's an insanely psychic being and they disrupt that, even for him. a null custodes makes zero sense in the lore.
And you full well that if any actual woman who wanted to get into the hobby felt uncomfortable over troons perving on them these same faggots would tell them to suck it up and stop being a heckin' meanie transphobe.
I assumed this was where most of the grief was coming from, not to mention what this would mean for future content as far as sourcebooks are concerned. And if this Amazon show is meant to kick off Warhammer as a big IP that can rub shoulders with the likes of Lord of the Rings or Marvel or whatever, surely that would inform future adaptations of Warhammer properties. Like for the past decade I've had to listen to faggots talk about how this stuff happening in other IPs isn't that big of a deal, you're just being melodramatic, stop being scared of girls and then before you know it you have The Last Jedi or The Timeless Children or whatever. I can see some differences because of the physical nature of the hobby, it's not purely about consumption, but I've seen these things destroy fan spaces before.
I saw a post awhile back from a middle school teacher that overheard two boys in his class talking about Star Wars and how it was "for girls". And it really is. The heroes in everything Star Wars related are almost all girls now, all the stories are about emasculating the male characters and highlighting how much more competent and better the female characters are. The epitome of that "Mooom he won't let me play Star Wars, make him let me play Star Wars and be the main character!" thing.
Yeah, edited my post a bit late, but being realistic, this isn't about trying to get ladies to play this shit (outside of thots that know how easy it is to milk lonely nerds by simulating interest in their retarded hobbies), they weren't going to play anyway, this is so that the trannies and numales can feel in control and push out the mean ol chuds. It's just incredibly annoying since they know gender shit is the great conversation killer in polite society. And the same fucking play always works when it comes to pushing their shit around. Of course they keep pushing for more and more retarded shit till nobody is paying attention, but that is well past the point of when the pozzening happened.
Oof, fucking savage! I'm still amazed how Disney bought Star Wars to appeal to boys yet failed so miserably by scaring the boys away and not really appealing to girls that much.
