@gavthorpe.bsky.social @guyhaley.bsky.social just confirming because of all the ruckus with the DK book, female Custodes are still apart of Warhammer, correct?

There is a lot of gloating going on about this retcon that hasnt actually happened, on Facebook, while admins play whackamole.
It's fun and infuriating to watch in equal measure.
Cannot work out how their "go woke go broke" is working while the company posts record profits?
People speculating that female Custodes were de-canonized somehow based on bad faith readings of one sentence after they were officially confirmed to exist in one of the Heresy novels (Echoes of Eternity, I think?), a Warhammer Community post and the current edition's codex.
So this is the guy who is trying to ruin our favorite franchise with ridiculous identity politics… thanks man. Thanks for opening the door for activists to turn warhammer into a “safe space” for woke activists. No doubt we’ll have trans space marines next… so how does that work? Metal dresses?
35 years of soft retcons in ~40 years of life of 40k as a setting, yet somehow the only problematic change you freaks cry about involves femstodes that are for all intent and purpouses indistinguishable from any other post-human supersoldier in golden plate. What's wrong with you, exactly?
Here we go with the name calling lol. You people are mentally ill. Warhammer has always been woke, give me a break you guys must be on some good drugs. There's a HUGE difference in counter-culture and woke culture lol. I'm a liberal, I'm a democrat. but I live in fucking reality.
Ohh yes, warhammer is sooo woke lol, that's what I think about when I read about a band of MEN with big guns killing anything that's different than they are, you even think wrong and you're dead. Do you even think about the dumb shit you say? Warhammer is the LEAST woke IP on earth!
Also, I have no problem with diversity, i literally work in a gay bar! But you cannot go around just shoehorning in diversity into people's treasured franchises just so you can check some checkbox off for HR. It ruins immersion. Show some respect for the franchise and the fans.
You brainwashed people just spew nonsense... clearly yuour just posting that reply to fit in because did you even read what I wrote? I NEVER said diversity ruins anything. FORCED diversity, where you have some company like Amazon,
You people have clearly never read a single book or know any of the lore whatsoever. Warhammer is in a setting of EXTREME intolerance. But you want to come in here and say it's a woke story... literally the dumbest shit I ever heard in my life.
For charity's sake I'm going to assume you're American. Americans tend to have problems understanding Satire, especially when it's British. You take our deadpan delivery at face value, which means you often miss the point.
Watchmen, The Boys, Judge Dredd, 40k, all British creations and all satire.
Space marines are all trans. Always have been. They're all trans-human. A female space marine would look like literally every other space marine because they're all mutated freaks in power armor.
Basically, a book made in partnership between DK and GW called "Warhammer 40k The Ultimate Guide" got released recently, and the Custodes section in it uses specifically male pronouns only. Chuds took that as GW having removed female Custodes from canon. Gav has now confirmed they are still canon.
Sorry we don’t want to believe that our favorite franchise is bending the knee to ridiculous identity politics. There’s no place for your political agenda in warhammer. I don’t think you people realize how much these virtue signaling diversity checklists are hated by fans.
lmao, it was literally created to be political satire what the fuck are you talking about, rogue trader/40k is antifascist, anti-imperialist punk wargaming critique, your lionized concept of the imperium doesn't mean anything and that's me talking as an official IP writer 😘
lol, the it’s always the ones crying about an “agenda” that seem to have an actual agenda they try to push. It’s all a matter of personal perspective, you are CHOOSING to focus on your PERCEIVED agenda. Learn to focus less on what you don’t like, life is more enjoyable that way…
Gate keeping keyboard warrior with very fitting user name, gets mad at change in universe that has changed drastically over the years (millennia) about a never ending war and ever expanding universe.
They didn’t beleive Alan Merritt, they called John Blanche a woke tourist they really have no idea what they are talking about. It tragic watching them trying to score points about toy soldiers.
What DK book? Also, yes, female Custodes are part of the setting. They aren't going to go anywhere just because a bunch of brainless people had a meltdown on socials.
1) the Ultimate Warhammer Guide from DK, 2) I know they’re a part of the setting, the guide does however have the male only language of past Custodes material 3) I’m well aware of the meltdowns people have online. I’m simply confirming because I’m thorough.
Yes, of course they are. Not every miniature is included and I don’t recall exactly but we may have already finished that section when the series / miniature went public (DK didn’t have access to pre-release pics).
I imagine the lead time on the book was quite something and yeah with GWs tight control of information about forthcoming releases, I am not surprised the book felt a little behind the current releases of that makes sense
I’m kind of new to the WarHammer40K lore but wasn’t the "Sisterhood" i think it’s called created because women couldn’t be custodes ? If they could’ve been one from the start, why start an entire group that’s dedicated to stand apart from the brotherhood, again, I want to learn, kinda new on this
To actually explain a little actual lore. The sisterhood or sisters of battle i assume you mean were created when the law was made that the echlissarachy (sp?) Could not have a military of men
So they cheekily made the sisters of battle so they could have an armed military force. As a tldr.
Sisters of silence, which are filled with only psychic blanks (they negate pysker/warp energies/"have no soul". Then the sisters of battle. Aka nuns with guns which have all sorts of sub factions. Most popular being the "of our martyred lady" (the white/black armored ones).
El uso de "Brotherhood" puede ser válido tanto para hombres como para hombres y mujeres. La cosa sería decir que no diferencian por sexo como todos los ejércitos con géneros mixtos.
Even you have never mentioned that in any of your books that I can recall? There are many women in Warhammer from the Inquisition to the Battle Sisters why add one were it's not known as cannon?

Or art of a Warhammer RPG character you've played
Or of a 40k Novel you own.
Like buddy this hobby isn't a safe place for bigots like you for decades
You aren't a liberal or a Democrat otherwise you wouldn't use woke the way you do which is exclusively right wing talking points
You aren't listening to the words, are you?
If I cringed any harder I would become a backwards ouroboros.
Watchmen, The Boys, Judge Dredd, 40k, all British creations and all satire.
This has confirmed it. Thank you 😊
Bloody unhinged crybabies.
So they cheekily made the sisters of battle so they could have an armed military force. As a tldr.
One day the Custodians were all men. Then the next day they always had women amongst their number.
It's no more complicated than that. They changed it because they decided to change it. Ask me what "Squatted" means if you'd like to know more.
