Warhammer 40k

Wasn't there a biological reason for Custodes to be male? As in, the blood transfusion from their "primarch", that is part of the biochemical transformation process, can only work with males, and not females? I read about it on both 1d4 (hallowed be its name) and Lexicanum, but Lexi doesn't have this info anywhere on the custodes page and 1d4chan is sleeping on the red snow, so i guess that was a rumor after all, huh?
No, nothing was outright stated to be sex specific regarding the creation of Custodes. There is a statement in the 8th edition codex “it is known that all Custodes come from the sons of Terran nobility”.

Much like how the term ‘The Ten Thousand’ may not be an accurate number of Custodes, the same could be said of Custodes recruitment. After all, heretical elements could use that knowledge to corrupt recruits.

Honestly, I’d appreciate a retcon where they say that the Custodes kidnap potential recruits, in honor of an ancient Terran gene-warrior program known only as 117.
 
Minis and physical 40K books are expensive as shit, turning Warhammer into a gacha game is already entering the last circle of hell.
That leak suggested they want a MTG style business model. The closest thing in miniatures would be "Collectable Miniatures Games" like HeroClix or the old Mechwarrior clix game. Pay X dollars for 10 random figurines from random factions with 2 uncommons and 1 rare. Using a Combat Patrol as your base, of course. What if you didn't get the models you needed? Well, buy another box, or trade with your friends, or use the aftermarket. Plus if you get some really rare card... figurines, you can start up a new army!

They apparently explicitly want people buying multiple 2k point armies instead of the collectors that put together some ungodly huge single army force.

Would be insane, and would require a complete retooling of the hobby, alienating every existing player, fan, and store... But by god, it'd be profitable for GW.

That's the circle of hell GW is aiming towards.

Frankly I’m amazed Quartering, Arch, or Tim Pool hasn’t done a video on this. It clicks all the culture war stuff they usually do. YouTube algo has been feeding me smaller accounts with these videos after I watched auspex tactics
Arch did a video about this already, pointing out how again, the people demanding these changes don't care about the changes, they just want to force 40k to change becuase it doesn't properly express Left Wing politics (and all things must express left wing politics or be destroyed).
 
Are you guys really folding at this? Some of you guys posted in this thread for years. You kept bragging, exclaiming you’ll gatekeep, and when the big oh shit moment happens you all just give up?

There has to be something you’ll wanna fight for because where ever you migrate too you’ll have the same situation happen.
nigga the company is ran by blackrock and esg money now, theyve shown that theyre siding with the wrong guys. theres nothing to support when it just outright betrays you. we already payed out the ass and they still hate us for broke and thieving trannies who wont give them near as much.

its over, warhammer is just another thing im going to shelve and forget about. they wanted this treatment, they dont want us
Why no love for the Adeptus Sororitas and the Sisters of Silence?

Why do they need to change the all male factions when the all female factions are awesome as fuck and could always use more stuff?
because leftism isnt about promoting people its about tearing down normal men. thats why feminine character nuh uh. 12 foot tall mommydoms being treated like objects in ways the chuds wanting to gently caress an actual woman can only dream of abusing women? thats fine because actual men dont want fucked up the ass so itll show them

Yeah, I'm just selling most my Warhammer shit. It's gotten too faggoty.
im just binning mine, dont want this shit to spread in its state, understand alot of people wont want to waste money that way but i dont like the idea of some tranny touching something that used to have positive memories attached to it

Im just switching to recast, keeping my current minis, and just ignoring the new faggot lore while pirating the shit of out stuff I don’t have but want and haven’t gotten to yet. GW won’t get a dime I haven’t already given them.

At this point, I'm convinced that any dude with a muscle mommy fetish is actually a closeted gay.
 
Damn bro, just don't act like this will cause a mass exodus from the game. Yes warhammer lore makes no sense and is full of retcons. I can't wait to find out that the secret to Female Space marines was kept up B Cawls ass the whole time. But not everything has to be 'the end of the hobby as we know it."
its the end of the hobby as us human beings know it, maybe you dont mind playing with child molesting trannies or freaks wholl pose all their slaneeshi mommydoms at you but balk if you show interest in an actual woman but i shant be hanging out with faggots and niggers

At this point, I'm convinced that any dude with a muscle mommy fetish is actually a closeted gay.
alot are but usually its "safe horny" ie if you say "nice ass" to a girl whos actually a girl youre in trouble in current year no matter how openly sexual the model is. but "please sit on me mommy with your esssss mommy"? you can get away with that. its why so many abusers try to pass as soft boys or trannies

This sounds like a 90's teen summer camp movie. You can be played by Emilio Estevez. After you give us the big half time pep talk, we use the power of prayer to change the hearts of the evil corporation and have the deed to the land returned to the local Indian tribe. I bet if we "try" hard enough, Disney will make the next Star Wars movie good too.

It really isn't much of a loss, the honest truth is that modern 40k and AOS aren't particularly good systems, not even in comparison with GW's own Specialist games.

I'm glad GW pulled this when they did, I was seriously tempted to buy new FEC stuff.
 
GW has lost the mandate of Heaven, millions must boycott.
unironically, also it doesnt even have to be millions. they had loyal paypiggy whales like me whod gladly drop hundreds of dollars on minis and even games, i was going to paypig for total warhammer 3 all the dlc and everything like i did the other two, even with middling reviews getting back to me and everything, not now. was going to get old world stuff not now. that alone is decent bit of change just from pissing off one consoomer whale.

also what i dont get is this. i know the trannies and fags see us as nazis, but they surely notice things become less popular when it panders to them and theyre forced to move on to the next thing, theyre openly celebrating this, i dont know why you can be so comfortable being so despised, not just hated but this visceral disgust where people dont even want to share space with you. i dont understand how you get off on that to the point where even if we start to accept you you need to start shit to intentionally provoke us, oh sob werent good enough because they werent carbon copies and had their own distinct roles? same with sisters of silence? not good enough? really?

edit yeah its 263.30 dollars for all dlc, i was going to just get it without looking even, they lost people like me en masse even if the total number is low whod drop 2.5 hundred dollars without even looking at the price tag for a side product

It's the narcissistic attack to them, if you think they look fucking weird or attacking them for doing weird shit they'll remember it and despise you. Like people in their own space and in their own hobby who don't even think about them offends them.

my only consolation is knowing that they cant stand each other either and theyll be squirming and dissatisfied when the hobby is just them

At this point, either GW backpedals once they realize that coomers and troons (redundant I know) don't blow nowhere near as much money as their core customers, or they collapse over doubling down and alienating the latter in favor of the former.

So either way, it'll be fun to watch.
No doubt it's the start to see how far they can go. Whatever. We knew it was coming, they are a publicly traded company and whatever the new name for ESG is, all publicly traded companies are beholden to the investor moneys.

Hopefully the Belarius Cawl books keep coming and don't get gay, the mini is sick and I like his lore very much. I do hate this even though it was inevitable. If I can hurt their bottom line I will.
 
As long as I've known about this hobby, which is when a childhood friend took me to see a Games Workshop and I was appalled at the overwhelming smell of unwashed man anus and man armpit, I've known the following. It's the same pattern for every Warhammer aficionado:

1: Learn about Warhammer (Fantasy or 40k)
2: ???
3: Lose all respect for Games Workshop

Whether it was the way GW handled the fan-animation crisis, or the "Warhammer is (not) for everyone" incident, or just their plain overpricing of plastic crap (and overpricing paints to paint said plastic crap, as well as the glue, etc), it's becoming kind of a parallel with Pro Wrestling fans. Nobody in either "fandom" hates their own favorite entertainment industry more than they do.

There hasn't been a reason to give GW any money in over half a decade. Get Chinese bootlegs, learn 3d printing, buy 3d prints from friends for 1/8th the price of retail. Leave the buying of single $11 modeling knives to the trannies.

You're trying to logic this out. The problem is that logic has nothing to do with their decisions. it's ideology, and more specifically, a desire to cut off your retreat from the political sphere. They do not want you to have any institution, any group, any place where you can go and be safe from their screeching idiocy. They know this shit's not popular, they know that their shit's economic poison for anyone stupid enough to embrace it, and they know that everyone hates them.

And they love it.

In the worldview of the clowns pushing this, they view you, by virtue of simply wanting to be left alone, as an enemy - an enemy for whom any means is fair, and any damage they can do to you is justified. If they take a franchise, they will turn it into one more platform to proselytize from, but that's not enough for them - they have to grind your face in it. They have to stick it to you, or there's no point. It's why they're perfectly content to burn franchises to the ground - better that they die with no one to mourn the loss than for anyone who even tangentially disagrees with them to have it.

The ultimate enemy of these clowns is not anger, for you can never hate them as much as they hate you for the simple virtue of not being them - it is apathy. Complete disinterest. The sooner you numb yourself to it and accept that they're going to sweep through like a horticultural blight regardless of what you say and do, so it's best to cut off the limb now before the rot gets to the nerves - the better off you're going to be for it.

The good news is that, like a horticultural blight, this will pass. Eventually, the infection will run out of potential hosts.
 
Whoever made the happening post is a massive faggot.

1. The lore has never actually stated that Custodes are exclusively male, they have always had a mysterious different process for creating them that is not the same as making Astartes. This is a bit out of left field but considering only a few Custodes have ever shown their face canonically its not that crazy.

2. A "good chunk" is not freaking out. It's not even a whole lot. The grand majority of the community just doesnt care. This entire thing is astroturfed by attention whores like Arch and the Outer Circle and their nuthuggers.

Games Workshop went out of their way to double down on the male exclusivity of Astartes in the latest Horus Heresy book stating specifically female marines were impossible. Just a few months ago these same attention whores were parading this doubling down as a great victory against "woke". This forced woke-outrage shit is just absolutely cringeworthy to most of us who actually play and own models. I don't know a single person who actually owns models who cares, it's just ranging from indifference to excitement.
