He really is a grifter and no better than twitch streamer niggers getting into 40k only to pay someone to paint their models and meta chase for paypig bucks on a niche market.

This is even funnier because years ago when his grift just started taking off and he had a falling out with MtG he bought the Dark Millenium box set and put it behind him in his videos. It was some big symbol of him moving on to other games and getting into Warhammer. I'll be surprised if he ever opened it, nevermind read a single page of the rulebook.
It truly boggles my mind that this grifting fuck still has an audience.

At least those guys actually engage with the miniature side of things. This idiot got involved only for clicks.
Once again, any time you hear one of these morons talk like 40K canon is some kind of sacred thing being violated by the Left, you can tell they don't know Warhammer, since Warhammer explicitly does not have a canon.

I think it was midwinter minis if I'm remembering correctly. He said it in passing. F it I'm just going to buy the nids v Ultramarines starter set.
In other words, he bought a prop for his set to grift with.
This is the thing with grifters. Unless you actually see them DOING something with regard to what they're talking about, assume they have no involvement in it. Nick Rekeita was mentioned a while back as having a bunch of books sitting on a shelf. Yeah, those are also props. Doesn't mean he read the things. Someone else I think Grummz supposedly has a couple armies... has he ever mentioned anything in detail about 40k or just made vague statements?
Us posting pictures of minis here probably isn't the best idea since that would be identifiable. But for someone already posting their face constantly on youtube? It shouldn't matter. lets look at another grifter, itsagundam. Guy grifts just like the rest on his main channel. But he's got another channel where he actually puts together gundam kits, you can see him painting and airbrushing at times, and the finished kits. He doesn't grift about gundam. Also has a full stormtrooper costume, he's a star wars fan and doesn't really grift about it so much as just complain about it(but who doesn't). Now the rest of the shit he talks about? Grift. Although he posts a couple times a week instead of 3-6 times a day.
Those people at least participate, have an idea of wtf is going on, understand what they're doing, etc. And if you're talking about the channels that have basically made a career out of it... Tabletop tactics, tabletop titans, vanguard tactics, art of war, etc.
first: These channels usually have a small number of people they're willing to put on camera. 3-5 or so?
second: Even with 7 or 8 people, you can't just have the same matchups constantly. Those people need multiple armies to be playing to get views
third: If you figure 4 people, needing 5 armies each, have to keep up with the new models, and yes are expected to be playing lists resembling whatever the meta is(otherwise they're not going to get the views) at least a significant part of the time, then yeah there would be no time to actually sit and paint the stuff on their own especially if they've got day jobs or even a family.
Now I'm not sure what other types of people you could be referring to on stream and playing, but if it is those kinds of channels, don't act like a mindless grifter and apply some critical thinking to the situation. You don't have to agree with it, or even tolerate it, but at least use some sense.

It’s really comical how much more impressive Abby becomes when he doesn’t have the gay topknot.
The knots are good on helmets, on bare heads? I chop that shit, fucking Cthonian pig-dogs.

This is just a guess, but bear with me; I think the reason why they want female Marines and Custodes is because the Sisters of Battle are too close to the Imperium's backwards, retrograde religion that the SJWs obviously despise for it being Space Catholicism, and the Sisters of Silence specialize in hunting psykers which limits their story potential. They want female power-armored heroes who aren't restricted to just hunting down enemy psychics or aren't protecting some religion that the SJWs would obviously hate. Especially when the Space Marines like the Ultramarines are sometimes depicted as more ''reasonable'' in their reverence for the Emperor, not seeing him as a god.
If you're the kind of person who wants to satirize religion, you'd want a heroine who isn't tied down to the Imperial cult, and who isn't just restricted to hunting down enemy psykers. And of course, they'd ignore female Inquisitors, IG, or Rogue Traders, since they're not augmented humans and are therefore, not as important.
Prior to 3rd Edition, half-Eldar bastards were welcome in the Space Marines, then all of a sudden, they were retconned out of existence, and most Imperials shoot Eldar on sight like they would any other alien. Then the Primaris come along in 8th Edition, with the Primaris Marines just forced into the Space Marine chapters despite being trained in Mars. That is a massive betrayal to how Space Marines work from 3rd-7th Edition where they were exclusive warrior cults that only let people in after training them and getting to know them in a process that would take years on end. They wouldn't just let randos from Mars join their chapters. Especially if it's on the orders of a dead Primarch who was revived by Eldar aliens-they'd consider him an alien puppet trying to infiltrate their chapters and raise the flag of revolt.
The Fem-Custodes are a drastic change, it's stupid, and I'd rather have more emphasis be placed on the Sisters of Silence instead, maybe make a show around them hunting down different types of dangerous psykers, but it's nowhere near as radical as changing how the Space Marines take in recruits or how they viewed half-aliens. One could just add the word ''daughters'' to the sentence that says ''the Custodes were taken from the infant sons of Terran nobility'' and call it a day. Yes, it's a bullshit retcon, but nowhere near as radical as past retcons to how Space Marines initiated people into their ranks or how they treated xenos. Especially when the Custodes aren't like the Space Marines whose geneseed templates were based on male Primarchs.

That's the problem with these grifters. They don't know shit about how Warhammer works, they just shove in their opinions and act like Warhammer 40K had some kind of solid lore or canon that has lasted since forever, not knowing that Warhammer explicitly has no canon according to Games Workshop, or that changes like 3rd Edition or the Primaris shook up the lore more than female Custodes ever did.

Some of the channels that have accepted female Custodes like Discourse Miniatures or Majorkill have more of an idea how 40K works than most of these grifters or Arch. At least they actually know the fucking hobby, instead of just reading fucking wiki pages or grifting for the sake of cheap clicks.

You’re over thinking it. They want female space marines because they just want to destroy something everyone else enjoys.
They will get their enjoyment from their power trip when it happens, then they will move on to destroy something else.

This recent stuff from GW inspired me to go to my local game store and see if they run games of other systems, and I'm going to be trying D&D for the first time next week. It might seem like a stupid reason for stoppping warhammer but after more than 20 years in the hobby it's probably time to try something new anyway.

D&D is worse off than 40k.

You're still playing a stripped down game with books with material that's more cucked than 40k. If you're quitting 40k over that shit, it makes no sense to jump ship to D&D. Just play a good game.

D&D is so pozzed that selling it to the Chinese would actually improve its changes of getting back on track to pleasing players.
That, and they want to put 40K back on track of being a satire against right-wingers. Can't have that if your STRONG INDEPENDENT FEMALE is a devout servant of the Emperor, defending his Church or hunting down rogue Psykers in his name. No, it'll be a female Space Marine whose reverence for the Emperor is more subdued and ''rational'' than what the Sisters of Battle or Black Templars preach.

Duncan's 3rd wave has a late pledge setup here. Had to dig for it, but if you're like me and missed out, there you go. Comes with all the unlocks too, and all 3 waves are available if you missed previous ones.
I don't have it on my phone but Sigmarxism had a post where they openly talked about pretending to be "chudhammer" and being SUPER fucking annoying so that people would come to be fed up with people who disagreed with the tourists and let them have their way out of spite. (For those greybeards amongst us, this is an old SomethingAwful trick, they did it to the Furries for decades until the SA mods were outed as furfags themselves, paying thousands a year for commissions.)
Anyway. If an enterprising young asshole wanted to, they could take the Female Custodes and the Muscle Mommy Coomer shit and just absolutely go balls to the walls annoying with it. Just make it absolutely embarassing as shit to be associated with the idea of Female Custodes or Female Space Marines, so that people just don't want to talk about it any more because the muscle mommy plz step on meeeeee crowd might show up if they do.
Yeah, Malal is the best. I hate painting quartered minis otherwise I'd do a Sons of Malice kill team.
I'm honestly surprised GW hasn't added an "Agnostic" sisterhood to the SoB to placate those types. Just an offhand mention that the "Order of the Sacred Lily" are canonically lesbians who think the Emperor is the best human ever but refuse to state definitively that he's divine. Maybe make them Islam based instead of Catholic based in the fluff. Give them a random brown woman paint job in the official reveal and ta-da, it'll change nothing cause tourists want to change the hobby out of spite and activism, not to make it better or enjoy it.
Some are just spiteful assholes who want to punish the "chuds" and can't attack them or put them in gulags, so instead they're just going after the things they like. Others are activists who are genuinely offended their beliefs aren't respected by the game (i.e., "what do you MEAN women can't do the exact same things as men, that's problematic!"). Others are honest to god marixists (cultural marxists, specifically) who want to either change something to be a tool of the revolution or destroy it so no one can escape their politics, Mao style.
But yeah, they don't actually care. The second they "fix" things they'll fuck off, just like they did to Battletech. The problem is they'll perform entryism before they go, getting true believers in positions at GW to make sure no one can undo the damage for the next few decades.
So you want to move to the game on its super mainstream version with stripped down rules, battle wheelchairs, damn near every table has a tiefling experiencing "the struggle", calling elves/dwarves/orcs/etc. "races" was too problematic, an entire campaign got reprinted because it referred to gypsies as gypsies, even the trannies are so bored with it they're looking forward to a new edition later this year.
Discourse is a tranny that moved back in with his parents and doesn't play 40k despite continually throwing money at GW while bitching about them nonstop. I don't believe majorkill plays 40k either. Majorkill at least doesn't pretend to play 40k and only talks about lore even if he is a cringe weirdo who posts coomer bait to patreon to get an income.
Nah, they're not even in it for that. They just see something they don't like, that other people enjoy, and want to tear it down. If some company produced an equivalent tomorrow that met all of their demands, they wouldn't give a flying fuck about it purely because it isn't the popular thing that people are enjoying. It's the same thing with the video game harpies screeching over shit they see as "problematic" in video games, and still don't play video games. Hell, it's move it to sports even. The WNBA, all of the whining and moaning about the player salaries over the past few weeks and not ONE of them on twitter can post their merch, ticket stubs, etc. supporting the damned thing when everyone else can see the seats in the arenas being dead ass empty for 20+ fucking years.

The whole 180 paint set for 499 is a deal if you paint a lot, absolutely. Big fan of Duncan's paints
