I read they had these components but never saw them, thanks for opening the boxes, it was an unreal experience! Also, the manuals seem to have new art. One thing you can do with BM is change the rules for a more wargaming experience for.... gamers who want more dice, rules and odds (games workshop LOTR rules for example), and keep the simpler instructions for norma.... I mean OTHER people. We add miniatures and have fun creating platforms, I use old transparent and black CD protectors,

    Hi Cory, maybe a unique question, but do you know anyone that can make me a set of decals for a 1/48 F-80C fighter bomber? The original ones coming with the kit are not the numbers I need. I am building the model in remembrance of an F-80C pilot who was shot down 2 miles from my front door during the Korean War. He was the first US jet fighter shot down by a piston engined fighter. The pilot was never found.

    I found this whole situation quite ridiculous, and the fact that so many people immediately assume the decision was made for a 'woke' or 'political' stance with absolutely zero evidence really showed how personally some people take these changes, for no reason. My thought process was, and still is, who really cares? If someone does not like female custodes, then don't use them, that simple.

    • @nine1690
      @nine1690 Місяць тому

      There is no reason to change this lore, especially in this way, other than as a tool to spread “inclusivity”. We have seen this time and time again, and it’s always those who are blatantly political in certain directions pushing for this. Just because you are not aware of what’s happening does not mean everyone else is wrong.

    So far, I have only seen discussions of this topic from content creators that base their discussion upon a single unofficial source leak from GW other than the updated codex. But hey, this is really causing a stir and publicity for the upcoming show and click bait for content creators. The only fact I see is that WG changed the lore that goes back around 10K years in the timeline. I would assume that with all the genetic changes the custodes had done to them, the female would still look like a buffed male or an androgynous custodes. I am going to continue to enjoy this hobby and wait for official word from GW, Amazon, and Henry Cavill himself on what is going on. I like what you have stated Cory.

    • @CoryCollects
      @CoryCollects Місяць тому

      Yeah, I've seen a lot of people claiming that Amazon is forcing GW to alter the lore by adding a woman to the Custodes for more representation in the TV series. At the moment, I consider this more of a conspiracy theory than anything else. It's not that I think it's impossible, but until we have a more reliable source than an anonymous 4chan post, I'm going to be skeptical. Personally, I think the simple reason they've done it is because GW wanted to increase its market share. Simple as that. Thanks for the comment by the way!

    • @entspannter
      @entspannter Місяць тому

      But what´s the point of making custodes " female" if they don t look/behave like them? It´s kinda abominable if you think about it, since the males only get boosted significantly while the women would need a complete biological restructureation because....reasons?

  • @thomassavage-hx6ux
    @thomassavage-hx6ux Місяць тому

    I personally don't mind the change but i will say a few of your arguments are flawed. The argument that this change is similar to the Primaris and the addition of a tank is not exactly accurate. In a universe supposedly utilitarian and pragmatic on a scale as to ask all within it to forego personal freedom to maintain their species existence. Within that framework the use of something that at its extreme is inherently not the same as the other at its extreme makes no sense. Those are examples of additions and improvements. Humans are equal because we exist at the average. our buildings and jobs and laws are built with the average in mind. This is why we don't build 7 foot doors usually, even though 7 foot tall people exist. This is why within the average span woman can be physically stronger than men. However this does not exist at the actual extremes. I would not consider professional athletes or even soldiers to be similar to a custodes but they are our best parallel. an example of this is Serena Williams, she herself said she was not nearly as fast or strong as he male counterparts. this does not make her not above average however. The Custodes are the extremes of specific attributes men excel at. they are those extremes brought to the absolute limit even greater than space marines. those extremes are medically different to the extremes of woman brought to their absolute limit. The choice to choose limitation for a soldier at that level biologically would be both anti utilitarian and anti pragmatic. unless the process of creating the Custodes is not based on humans at all and is simply aesthetically humanoid, in that case the gender expression of the soldier would be irreverent and not representative.

    • @entspannter
      @entspannter Місяць тому

      Great, so custodes have to become inhuman abominations for this to work?

    • @thomassavage-hx6ux
      @thomassavage-hx6ux Місяць тому

      @entspannter No, they don't have to become monsters for this to work because they are already monsters, and that is part of my point. They are monsters built to protect a monster from monsters. The emperor built actual angels to fight demons. But angels and demons are the same thing. Living functionaries of a greater will. Same here. custodes are not human the same as we are. What besides that potential, now unbound, is left of the human base genetics when the process is done? This is exponentially more true for the hand crafted custodes. The answer, even though i dont like it, is only acstetics. So if female custodes exist, they only look female. The emperor is too pragmatic and utilitarian to dull a weapon to be inclusive. The risk is too high.

      You call others sexist, yet define a male’s worth by having sex with women. As if women are a trophy and nothing more.

    i think the only thing that someone can say is bad about it is how they reacted to it they could have done way better than "it has always been this way" like just imagin -you get your story of your custodes girl trying to nuke the emperor during the blood games -people ask hey why is there a woman in the custodes i thought they where all men -so they instead of saying "always has been" they go and post like a little story like idk let me brainstorm something decent Ultrarus Maximus stands at a golden gate, it is the same gate he has guarded ever since he returned to terra so longe ago when the fires of war finally seased over the skys of terra none has ever pased it in his presence without the right or reason to do so. It was late in the evening but the sun still stud ontop the horizon when he saw the figure aproching the gate, he was ready for the worst he always was and will always be. "MY LORD" the figure screamed. He could hear the mans voice and he could guess his age in the tone. "MY LORD" the voice screamed again this time a bit softer "My Lord...", the figure had reached him. The old man bend down on the railing of the stair that lead to the gate, his gate, he could hear the old mans heavy breath, even though he was still around 20 meters away. "my lord" the old man dragd himself upwards, there where only a vew steps left a vew from more than thousand he knew those stairs well. "STATE YOUR BUISSNES!!!" Maximus statet calmly. "my lord" "my lord" "I am Vilaron" "I come from the halls of the Administratum complex D16Z5" "And I have a question none of my supiriors could answere". "So" Maximus wondered "Since when does the Adeptus Custodes hold information of use for the Administratum?, Our duty is to guard the emperor". "Yes-Yes" Vilaron answered "but it is a question about on of your Custodes". "So" Maximus wondered again, his nullmaiden companion stepped closer, she had ceapt her distance to not disturbe the old man to much. "Ask your question Vilaron" Maximus sayd calmly "but be warned not everything can be recordet in the halls of the administratum". "of corse My Lord of corse" Vilaron answered quickly, "It is about the recent Bloodgames, we recived an order that every Teleportation divice in a certain range of the palace needs to be more strictly guardet and those on pasing vessels have to be turned off" Vilaron stated, "It is singed by the Captain General of the Custodian Guard". "And?" Maximus asked. "Well simple it states that the Custodian Calladayce Taurovalia Kesh has found a weaknes in the palace that could pose a risk to the safety and wellbeing of the emperor" Vilaron explained "So?" Maximus asked again. "Well I will be direct we expect that we might have, a terrible acsident of corse recived a wrong name as our information clearly states the canidated for the Custodes to be men might I therefore ask if I could recive the correct name for our Custodes in question?". Maximus tiltet his head back by a few degres and smiled "HiHi HaHa" a quiet gigel quell trough the Vox of his helmet "Do not worry friend there is no mistake". Vilaron looked suprised "Pardon My Lord". "I Sayed there is no mistake" Maximus repeatet calmly "There are women under the Custodes" Maximus stated from here one you could go with an there have always been women or if you would want it a bit more implemented-> "There are women under the Custodes!!! Since when!!! We have to correct the records!!!" Vilaron screamed out in disbelive. "Calm yourselve friend" Maximus spoke as he tried to calm Vilaron "There have been Women with us since the end of the Great Tradgedy, The Rebellion of our Lords Sons" "We simply where to few, many where slain so we eased the criterias, just a bit so if a woman can cheap up she will be accsepted" Maximus explained. "I understand my Lord" "Thank you for your time" Vilaron sayd as he startet to turn around to make his leave down the stairweel "There is much work to be done" he mumbled. and in case you would want to go further and listen to some fanfiction territory stuff to-> "WAIT" Maximus waved at Vilaron "Let me tell you a Small Story". "I'm sorry but I don't think I have time for that My Lord" Vilaron told Maximus "There is much to be correctet". "I understand your haste Vilaron" Maximus explaned "But I mearly want to save you from acending those stairs again". Vilaron turned "So What is it then?" he asked. "You know I was there at The Burning of Prosperos" Maximus stated "When the Elite Terminators of the Scarab Cult desperatly clashed into our lines and brought death on a scale previusly unknown to the Custodes ". "Yes a tragedy even the Captain General was woundet I heard" Vilaron loudly remembered "But I already know the reason you don't need to bother yourself with singing about Sagas long gone". "There where more than just the Custodes that Blead and Died that day" Maximus recaled "Yes many Brave Men and Women died those Days" Though I haven't seen the Nummbers I must say" Vilaron answered. "A Crucial amount of the Silent Sisterhood layed dead, Entire Shieldhosts where eradicated and many lives where lost becaus of it" Maximus told. Vilaron glanced past the Custodian onto the golden clad maiden a few meters behind them, she gently signaled to Maximus using a form of quick Handsigns, Maximus answered with a simple "of corse" before turning back to Vilaron "His name is Valen" "the Sisterhood found him like many others with there black ships but cheapt him and a handfull others as potential recruits, but why he was one of the few to be chosen instead of being send of to be agent of the imperium I can't tell". "Well as long as our dutys ar done" Vilaron sayed calmly as he once again Stumbled down the stairs checking his notes on the way down. -the information used in the last paragraph can be found as an audiobook on youtube called "The Burning of Prosperos" -pls execuse my bad grama and writhing im not nativ english -if you like it feel free to take it as your personal lore snipit wile ignoring the actual implementation of "always has been"

    I think it’s weird addressing this point from a miniature painting pov, this is only an important argument on the lore side of the community. To start saying that it doesn’t matter because we keep on painting is like a movie actor saying “it doesn’t matter what the writers write because we keep on acting”. The idea that 40k is just miniature painting in 2024 is crazy to me.

    There are female exclusive armies and that's ok. There are male exclusive armies and that's somehow less ok? Why aren't those same people stomping around for men joining the SoB or SoS? Also what worries me is that every time an IP started to cater to the crowd that is all for diversity and representation, the quality of writing produced has significantly declined. Witcher on netflix, Ghostbusters, Star Trek, Rings of Power...etc.

    Before this ever happened I modeled female space marines into my custom chapter. Figured they are all genetically modified so male or female will fit into the same power armor. My lore was my chapter was reinforced initially by the Primaris and their world and system was destroyed and stripped from hive fleet Leviathan. During evacuation my chapter was almost decimated in holding the line. Now with a small population that has escaped they take the most worthy males and females to try and bolster their ranks. I have two daughters and wanted to name chapter characters after them. So them creating female Custodies is like meh to me because I play how I want with my little plastic soldiers in the fictional grimdark universe. 😂

    I made a long-ass comment about my thoughts on it, as well as the thing about it having been described as a "Brotherhood", and then I was hit with a power outage. Fuck me. Now, even if you don't think that any of the first 10,000 were female (the specific wording of them having been the "sons" of the warlords of Terra can always be written off as an in-universe historical error), it's definitely a fact that Custodians can, and have died. The most severe Custodian losses I can find would be the War in the Webway (the event where the Emperor got onto the Vengeful Spirit towards the end of the Siege of Terra via the damaged Webway gate in his palace, creating a deluge of Daemons arriving on Terra which the Talons of the Emperor had to defend against, which killed a whopping *9,000* Custodians). Not to mention that Custodians who slow with age--even by a fraction of a nanosecond--retire into information gatherers, leaving the ranks of the Imperial Palace open for new Custodians to be made to upkeep the defenses of the Palace. There's never been anything stating that whatever process is used to make Custodians couldn't be done successfully with female subjects (hell, if anybody tries telling you that they know how Custodians are made, they're lying through their teeth because nobody knows how they're made outside of the Custodians and the Emperor himself), and we don't know how exactly they select new subjects for their conversion process, so they could have very well chosen female subjects as recruits without a second thought. Considering how rarely we ever see a Custodian without their armour or helmet, they could very well be in any of the models or artwork, retroactively or otherwise. I'm approaching it this way because I'm seriously tired of Cawl; I hate him, and wish he was never made (and I'm speaking as someone who loves the Mechanicum), which is why I refuse to acknowledge any such explanations involving him in any way, shape, or form. (I still consider the Primaris stuff (and yes, more specifically, Belisarius Cawl) to legitimately be worse than female custodes could ever hope to be) As for them being referred to as a "Brotherhood", which these people seem to think is a slam-dunk... It isn't. Not even close to one. Yes, it can be used as a masculine-specific word, and there's a female equivalent in the form of Sisterhood. However, English isn't a fictional setting filled with conscious decisions at every turn. It's a naturalistic language that evolved on its own over centuries, and thus, is incredibly messy and complicated, and history plays a substantial role in its modern features. To this day, "Brotherhood" can be used to refer to any association of people dedicated to a particular purpose or idea. While yes, this can be applied to all-male groups, it can, and has been, applied to groups of any gender composition, except for all-female. This is partly because we tend to default to masculine terminology when referring to groups of mixed-gender or indeterminate gender. Hell, even when referring to people whom we know as female, we can often end up using masculine terms casually like "Dude", "Man" (ex. C'mon, man.), "Guys", or "Bro". Even in modern nerddom this has been the case. Tell me honestly, how many of us here have ever gotten worked up while playing Morrowind/Oblivion/Skyrim because we joined the Dark _Brotherhood,_ and found that it has some sisters as well? This pedantry, like with the use of singular They/Them, is something that has seldom bothered anyone up until now, but only becomes an issue once you start shining a spotlight on it, usually for rhetorical effect. And if you're this angry over it with English, then I shudder to think of how you'll react to other languages. (¿No hablas Español? ¿Chicos y chicas?) The best opposition I've seen to the introduction of female Custodes is that it could steal desperately needed attention from the ever-attention-starved Sisters of Silence. I'm not saying this because of the "all-male, all-female" symmetry angle (to be honest, I'm not aware of any reason for the Sisters of Silence to be all-female to begin with, and relabeling them as the _Order_ of Silence could be of help to them in this regard should we continue with the Adeptus Custodes as a mixed-gender faction, thus restoring that o so precious symmetry (give me my Twinks of Silence, James Workshop!)), but rather because the Sisters of Silence really need to be further expanded upon instead of introducing female Custodians. I feel very similarly about the Astartes vs Sororitas situation; sure, you _could_ make female space marines, but I would much prefer they just expand on the sisters of battle some more because they desperately need some attending to. Add in more Sororitas Orders Militant with their own themes and aesthetics that aren't literally just Order of Our Martyred Lady but Red Armour, or OoOML but Silver Armour, or OoOML but Black Robes instead of red, and so on, you get my point. I'd much rather see an expansion of what we already have, because homebrew can only take us so far.

      Thank you for this lengthy and wonderful comment! I really appreciate it and enjoyed reading it. I perfectly agree with all your takes. The only thing I would like to delve into a little more is the Astartes vs. Sororitas argument. In my opinion, the main reason for introducing women into the Space Marines, aside from the fact that humanity in 40k is ruled by what is essentially a fascist ideology (and let's face it, no one in 40k is a good guy), is primarily because the Space Marines are the "poster boys" of not only Warhammer 40k but of the entire tabletop wargaming hobby. Having them be the most diverse faction in terms of culture, gender, and sex would be the best way to communicate to everyone that Warhammer is truly a hobby for everyone, as long as you're not being maliciously hateful by discriminating against others based on those terms. That being said, I also apply the same reasoning to the Sisters, thinking that the addition of men in the Sororitas would be perfectly fine and, to me, a welcome change. What I would also really love to see is the SoS and especially the SoB expanded upon more, giving them the Space Marines treatment by, for example, creating sub-codexes for every order. However, I don't think this will happen anytime soon due to the "induced demand" mechanic for the Astartes, unfortunately. Anyway, I'm rambling too much, and at this point, I'm not sure if I made my point clear. But I'm going to pin your comment on top because I really enjoyed it.

      8E Codex, page 14: “It is known that all Custodians begin their lives as the infant sons of the noble houses of Terra.” Sure, maybe the process could be done on women, but that doesn’t make the previous lore blatantly saying there are no females any less relevant when they tell us “there have always been femstodes”. There is no room for femstodes anyway when the Sisters of Silence exist and are infinitely more interesting than “Custodes for dommy mommy fetishists”.

    An interesting take with some great points. I however do believe this was influenced entirely by outside factors, most likely Amazon. Simply because there is no model. Since models take a year or more to go from design to mold and then production this feels like a throw away piece that was inserted to give them some play in with Amazon. And the Social media team's handling has been disappointing to say the least. It also pains me because I want the Custodian army to be fleshed out with more then just golden boys in power armor. While I do want the resin models to come out in plastic I need the sister to have more purpose, more models and more rules to have them work in synergy. Allow me to take mixed teams where the Custodian can make Invulnerable saves showing they are protecting the sister. Give me infiltrator sisters with camo cloaks to scout as part of their extraction team. Give me bikes and vehicles and other cool things so they don't feel like a tacked on part of the army. I don't want female Custodians because it will reduce an already limited range of options for the sister to fill in the army. If they really wanted this they should have built like you suggested. The necrons built from the mindless robots by saying those that awoke first were damaged. It just didn't have to be a fight with the community but something that grew out of the current lore.

If you are talking about Amazon then yes, it is likely they introduced the idea as a compromise to get a strong female character into the production that isn't a commissar, Sister of Battle or Inquisitor as all of them have serious baggage with the names and attitudes. As for the writer wanting to introduce modern ideas of tolerance and understanding and compassion, why? What does it say about the universe? The Imperium is full of intolerant and ignorant people by design. It is humanity at its worst and yet still doing its best to stave off armageddon. This is a fantastic setting to the game.

      The well established lore is two paragraphs in the 8th edition codex. The first called them the brotherhood of Demigods so it went from being half wrong to being wrong on both counts. The second was the one that said they were the sons of Terran nobility. That paragraph started with the phrase "it is known" as the source of the information and then went into detail about how nobody really knows how they're made, how they work or what their deal is. GW is also the company that retconed the timeline of a book series between two books by a century with zero explanation and retconed the Codex Leagues of Votan into the League's of Votan art book between pre release and the books shipping out and the outrage that the $40 book suddenly didn't have valid rules before anyone got to play with it was less than it is here.
