@@Keilink The age old issue with any zerg rush is the first critter isn't the issue and often isn't the dozen following either. It's the hundred that comes after, then the thousand that come after that. Tyranids are one of the few foes where the Imperium knows better than to try 'we have reserves' style tactics as brute force is almost always an exercise in futility. Especially if fierce resistance actually encourages the hive fleet to further commit i.e. the exact opposite of what the Custodes is aiming for.
that entire conversation with Malachite I was just "Do you want Renegade or traitor space marines? Because this is how you get Renegade or traitor space marines"
@@SIGNOR-G Malachite knew she would've ended them right then and there & glassed the planet herself with what was left of the White Templars. Custodians don't have a history of responding well to "no."
There's a quote from the codex that reads as follows: "That which failed once may fail again." Custodians know that the marines could turn traitor over nothing. Honour led many to betray the Imperium during the heresy. Oaths sworn by imperial knights to astartes legions that turned traitor led the knights to turn traitor themselves due to the danger of becoming oath breakers. In short, to answer your rethorical question... "Do you want renegade or traitor marines?" Eh, sure, add these ones to the list and capture a few for the next bloodgames.
If the Custodes have any flaws it is that they are a little too much like their progenitor. Calling them arrogant and inhumane beyond belief is probably being generous. They exterminated an entire chapter of Astarte on the grounds of 'because I said so' once.
@@xanmontes8715Other Chapters remember such acts. Why do you think the Black templar and Dark Angels have killed Custodies and Inquisitors, they do not view custodies the way baseline humans do.

To those wondering, the White templars succesfully defended the system with the help of the Astra Militarum, Navy, and the arrival of several Imperial fists succesor chapters and the Imperial fist fortress monastery, The Phalanx itself to defend the system.

The Custodian telling the Space Marines to leave their planet and destroy it to slow the tyranids down is likely to make that chapter fall into chaos because of resentment to "The Emperor's Will." Also an Inquisitor did this exact same tactic to deprive the Tyranids of biomass and subsequently starve, and was kicked out of the inquisition because of how many Emperium worlds he destroyed while it slowed them down they founded another source of food. Da Orks, and that went as well as one would expect. Making the destruction of entire Emperium system worthless
I'm really conflicted about that. A custodian commanding an Astartes to do anything doesn't seem right. Not even the High Lords of Terra have authority over the Astartes. Could you imagine this custodian trying to tell Helbrecht, Grimnar, or Gabriel Seth (
@@lykos2738 Custodes are the emperors personal body guards and confidants, and therefor, are allowed to speak in his place when he is indisposed. Generally though, the specific group who carries out such duties are the "Emissaries Imperatus", aka "Heralds of the Golden Throne". Strangely enough, this custodes does not look like she is apart of that order, so I don't know why she is delivering the message.
@@Captain8ball not necessarily. In the imperial hierarchy, a lot of their authority is unofficial. They have a specific branch of custodians who do have very deliberate authority, but otherwise a single custodian, especially one without a high rank wouldn’t be in any position to officially demand anything from an Astartes captain. The only reason they do have power is because even impeding a custodian can be seen as treasonous and the imperium will always believe the custodian over the other party
They don't trust Space Marines because Space Marines easily break and fall the chaos. Also she does have a point, the chapter doesn't have enough resources to protect that world it is doomed already.
Yeah I love it. But if I remember in the lore, Custodes only care about protecting the Emperor and by extension Terra, so all else is immaterial. Committing a thousand worlds to burn to protect the Throne World is completely reasonable to a Custodes.

His smile probably looked strange and forced since he didn't really understand or know how to do it.

@@SIGNOR-G he was not right. Sending the nids to ork space was a huge blunder as all it did was make both races stronger and whoever does eventually win will be much stronger then when they went in.
I'm with majorkill on this one. Got no problem w Female custodes, just how GW handled it. Female space marines don't make sense but there is nothing wrong with custodes being mixed. Custodes don't use geneseed and are just ultra handcrafted humans. We know very little about how they are made other than their success rate is like 1/1000 aspirants.
Yeah there's several decades of lore specifically saying that Astartes can't be female due to some issue with the Geneseed not integrating properly. Custodes on the other hand are the Emperor's only perfect creations, at least genetics-wise. The Custodes are more genetically stable than the Astartes and are created to be individuals, not mass-produced like Astartes. Them being female makes perfect sense.
@@TheRedMan77 If they are going the perfect creation route, she should look like a Wonder Woman or Power Girl. Instead, she looks like some hideous thing born from bad mutations due to innreeding.
@@TheRedMan77 The loophole in that reason is the SoS are meant to supplement the Custodes. The Custodes need the SoS since they are weak to warp based combat. So muscle mommy SoS that used chemical therapy to bulk up to at least like at discount Custodes performance is more logical to supplement the losses of the Custodes during the Horus Heresy than a female Custodes. Plus a female Custodes at the time of the paraplegic Emperor is less possible than the Primaris given that Cawl only improved the template and a female Custodes need a whole different set of genecrafting from the male specimens. There are male to female and female to male metamorphosis in the animal kingdom and a female specimen would need to be turned to male in order for the genecrafting to be more successful. Another argument is the extreme traditionalism of the Imperium that a female Custodes would immediately be transferred to SoS or SOB since she would be alienated by the Custodes themselves much like Seth did at first to the Primaris reinforcement they got. Even guardsmen from different worlds have cooperation issues or cultural issues that led to conflicts.
@jahrusalem3658 so emperor was able to override whatever genetic limitation women have to turn them into bigger muscular freaks than your average space marine but he couldn't do so to turn a female into space marine? It's ridiculous dei and feminist craps shoved into established into warhammer lore that has always referred custodes as brotherhood not maamhood.
@@SATH-gd8eh Custodes don't run off Geneseed, they don't have extra organs and don't get gene-flaws like Astartes. They're just upscaled humans, each one personally created to be a scholar, a philosopher or a scientist as well as warriors. Astartes are made solely for war as quickly and cost-effectively as possible. If they work, why bother going through the trouble of making female ones when the males serve their purpose just fine?

Custodes, in general (the majority of them) aren't very interesting. They have one purpose: Serve the Emperor. Period. They lack ambition, they lack growth, etc.
Custodes have always been pretty boring and watered down. And they got even more boring and watered down after the whole “there have always been female custodes” debacle
Strictly speaking, it does Work to redirect the nids. It cannot be done lightly and kryptman fucked up big time by directing the nids towards octarius, but to keep the nids away from a Beeline to terra itself? It’s fucked up, but it’d do the job.
This really puts the authority of Custodes in perspective. As well as how seriously Astartes take their oaths. I like how all the Asartes at 5:37 looked to the Captain after being told their orders. If he gave the order would they raise arms against a Custodes? You can see him weighing the outcome of his decisions. Loyalty or honor? Regardless of his choice his Chapter will suffer the consequences.
La lealtad llevo a la mitad de los astartes al caos, por eso los custodes los ven como posibles traidores, si ya fallaron una vez podrán hacerlo de nuevo.
@igormorais4192 Honestly doubt they'd all die. There's a captain and several veterans, plus a terminator. Yeah, the Custode would kill most of them, but she'd either be heavily wounded in the process or killed.
@@NanoT_Tnah they probably would all die, back in the Horus Heresy an Astartes saw how a Custodian fought seriously in battle and the only thing he saw was a golden blur since the Custodian was moving so fast that even a Space Marine couldn't see what was happening.

I guess you haven’t seen RT era custodes, basically butt-naked normal humans wielding some underwear and black cloaks, along with their iconic guardian spears and plummed helmets
Hmm instead of doing something interesting with the supremely underutilized and badass all female faction that has worked alongside the custodes for aeons, lets just ignore them and make the all male faction co-ed, very cool gw, that will appease the overlords
Hardly the end of the world. The original source material didn’t make the Primarchs the emperors sons. They were just generals, not even super soldiers. That got retconned too
We're literally getting more content for the sisters of silence and Adepta Sororita. Unlike space marines, the creation process of custodes was not restricted by circumstances to a specific gender. She acts as a custodes should with that inhuman robotic behaviour and she fights like a custodes. so wtf are you on about.
I absolutely loved how they introduced the new female custodes in thr lore. One playing in the blood games,and literally just going, "Hmm.....nuke it is." While the other one showed how absolute monster a Custodes is in a combat, visually.
(Immediately after the meeting) Captain: "Captain Malachite to battle barge, landing site was overrun with xenos; there were no survivors. Begin nuclear bombardment of the site from orbit." Terminator: "What of the Custode's message?" Captain: "What message?"
Female Custodes aside, a lot of this dialogue just feels dumbed down, like a amateur writer was put in charge of writing the script. Can't even blame the VA on this one when her lines feel like they more fall in line with Lord Farquaad than someone who's fought a shit ton of battles and understands respect and honour.

On one hand, kinda Phukt up the Custodian basically put forth a "Scorched Earth" plan to try starving/slowing the Tyranids and sacrifice billions of humans on dozens of worlds. On the other hand, the Imperium doesn't seem to have the force to bring to immediate bear to fight this hive fleet, thus these worlds are just going to be consumed and all denizens killed anyway.

As someone said before, there are really no "good guys" faction in 40k. Sure there are many protagonists, but a very small minority can be considered generally "good" in the traditional story sense. Looking at you Salamanders, the proud killers of elf-children. As for the Custodes, they're loyal to the Emperor, but not the Imperium. If all the planets that do not currently have Big E sitting on it have to burn for protect the Man Himself, so be it.
It can be fun to play up how far removed marines, custodes and to some part extremely indoctrinated agents like the assassins are. I usually interpret the custodes as needing at least the social understanding of a Secret Service agent. They must read people, high and low.

Something about her eyes and the way she looks at people is really off-putting to me. It’s both intense but also cold.

She’s the closest thing Emps can get to his ideal “perfected” human and she’s utterly devoid of any humanity and incapable of disloyalty to him.
I headcanon that even with female Custodes being canon, they will have severely overtestosteronised complexion. In reality it's just GW's decades-long inability to sculpt female faces.
@@eyeballpapercut4400 I mean it's not far from the truth tbh. Just look at any super muscular women. Testosterone is pretty much the deciding factor of muscle growth limits. A female custodes would have testosterone levels orders of magnitude higher than our worlds strongest man. Stronger features like pronounced brow ridges and a square face are decided by testosterone levels, so makes sense that a female custodes would look masculine
@@Callum38 also in lore, Custodes are usually depicted as a golden blur when fighting. So I would like to think that this custodes was slow enough to be depicted on camera because it was a FEEMALE, and thus much slower than her male counterparts.
(Edit Response - Original Comment below) Coming back to serve myself some humble pie, after touching some grass, discussing with other more fans who started earlier than I have and reading the replies to his I'll address my feelings straight up. I'm ultimately OKAY with Female Custodes by the end of this (because what is a random shitter like me going to do that will change this?), I don't like HOW GW introduced them especially since I didn't know they introduced lore like "The lore was always like this" which from someone without context comes off as insulting to someone like me who got into this hobby through the lore and in this current political climate, I shouldn't have tried to push my own thoughts in such a unconstructive manner. I want more representation but GW is doing it by ignoring everything else that would be great avenues like the Guard, Sisters of Battle, Sisters of Silence, Inquisitors, Rogue Traders, etc. and I feel they deliberately chose Custodes because it would generate the most clicks/debate which makes this push for something greater feel rather empty. I'll be keeping the original comment to remember this L, but I will be editing in this response so that everyone else will know I see and acknowledge it. (Original Comment) I wouldn't have been mad about this if GW didn't act like this idea was set all along (it wasn't), insulting our intelligence as fans and consumers whilst preemptively calling us bigots for it.
Agreed, the idea isn’t terrible (some retcons needed but Custodes lore was always weird in parts) it’s just how they tried to explain it away was terrible.
No one from GW is calling you a bigot. Some grifters on Twitter called you that and you mistakenly blamed that on GW. Jesus. The only mistake they’ve made is revealing it on a Twitter reply and not building it up with a novel or something. To put into perspective of how lazy it is; imagine if they did the same with Primaris. Instead of the long build up of introducing them in the game and in lore, they just straight up said that they’ve always existed in the first place on a Twitter reply.

I don't object to 40Karen's appearance (see virilization in female pro bodybuilders), nor her being something "new" or "unique" among the Custodes. But I do object to TPTB's patronizing, gaslighting, and outright insulting attitude to the decades-old lore fans.
I honestly never took their announcement as gaslighting and the way people jumped on that seemed way more like people looking for something to be angry about. When GW adds something to the universe, there are two ways it can happen: 1) this is a new thing which didn't exist before - e.g. 'redeemed fallen' inner circle companions. 2) this is a new thing which has always existed as far as the universe is concerned- e.g. Storm Talon gunships (which they even went back and retroactively added into old artwork.

That 30 years old lore also had half eldar half human space marine Psykers, dude, stop taking it as gospel and as though it's all fundamental to the current setting. They've killed off Primarchs back then and then released books with them revived. They retconned Primarch deaths from that era. And the "hundreds of books!" is such a vast overstatement. Just... Calm down. It's not rude and disrespectful. Your skin is just thin, tbh. Oh and the "double standard" comment is actually something I agree with, besides Sisters of Battle. Sisters of Silence should have males in there too and nobody can convince me otherwise.

The addition of female custodies was made to appease these investors. I hope games workshop doesn’t make any more of these snap decisions to appease their investors but I remain sceptical of their intentions.
@@erebusfulgur6338 the first time I saw this without knowin that the custodes was a lady. I ask myself "why is it that this custodes voice sounds gay"? When I saw the first part: "oh that's why the 'golden boy' sounds gay", cause its not a boy, its a lady on the inside. LoL 😅
A lictor with only one hit? Damn. I really like how they portrayed her absolute authority. I don't know if the captain is aware that she can take them all without taking a sweat, or if he knows that she is exactly made for that.
If this is the same actor who plays Brienne of Tarth from GoT, Gwendoline Christie, they picked the right person to portray a female Custodian. Whether or not they are canon or brought in to people's liking/dislikes, it's a decent fit.

@@CrisContrerasS35 she is the weakest custodian, in order to make a female custodian from my knowledge you would need more resources to make a less competent warrior. I don’t want to explain everything and be that guy but the reason I say that is because women menstruate and has more estrogen, in order to make a female custodian as competent as a male one you have to make the female custodian as close to a male as possible, so your taking everything away from her that makes her a women. so your spending more time, more resources, and noble females that are in low quantity already to make female custodians. Plus the lore says it impossible, just give the sisters of silence and all the female exclusive army’s some love. ( theirs a lore of female army’s in the imperium )
@@Loyalist-i7p Custodes are augmented during infancy when the difference between sexes is nearly nonexistant and they're all custom jobs anyway, so it's very possible to create female Custodes. No lore contradicts this. There is still a retcon, though. Custodes were formerly said to be made from the _sons_ of Terra's nobility, which is clearly not the case anymore.
What’s the point of making a female custodes if they’re just gonna make her just as masculine as the men? ALSO THEY HAVE THE SISTERS OF BATTLE! Why waste time and energy making a female custodes when you have sisters of silence?
Sisters of silence are blanks so you can’t just make anyone a sister of silence. Custodes are taken as infants and raised and augmented for the sole purpose of defending the Emperor as for using both men and women the augmentations make gender differences a non-issue so why would you limit your recruitment pool to only half of humanity especially since not everyone is compatible with Custodes augmentation.
@@jackstephenson165 well let’s pretend we know the operation to create custodes in the first place and it’s not a male only thing like the space marine geneseed. They’d recruit only men because men are naturally physically stronger than women. So why would they waste the resources to make a female custodes when a male one would produce better results. No let me turn the question on you. Yes only blanks can join the sisters of silence, but not all blanks are female, so why limit the sisters of silence to only female?
@@slothguy8826 I already explained why they recruit women the end result is the same. As for the Sisters of Silence look into planet 9-13 as it is one of the theories for the origins of the sisters of silence and explains why the sisters recruit women it’s a cultural thing.
@@jackstephenson165 well then you can also say it's a cultural thing that the custodes only recruit males too. Sons of the Terran nobles or something. Stop pretending like you care about bullshit lore excuses, this is obviously political
@@jackstephenson165 well I explained why the end result wouldn’t be the same since men are physically superior to women. And why can’t it be a cultural thing for only men to be custodes? Besides the emperor made all the space marines and primarchs male, so why all of the sudden would he make an exception for custodes? Because, I may be wrong, but last time I checked he nor anybody else in the entire imperium seemed to care about representation.
GW succumbs to the activists. I wonder what else they will ask next. I am sure that they will not stop there. They will destroy the franchise for sure.

I love how they portrayed the seriousness of the incoming Tyranid fleet. Resorting to Exterminatus is no small feat...
It's also not exactly sound, considering the tiranids are coming from below
Especially if it's for several hundred worlds. Trillions of lives just, vaporised within weeks at most. All conveyed by a Custodian of the Emperor no less.
I mean, it's Hive Fleet Leviathan. Anyone would know how messed up the situation is. Before Titus became Primaris, even he and his squad of Death Watch were quickly overwhelmed in a short span of time. And Deathwatch are no mere Marines. So much so that they Virus Bombed the planet.
@@_spooT Seeing how the mechanicus orbital canons completely obiterated a Tyranid hive ship in the game, unlike Kadaku if White Templars really fortified this planet like it's their Homeworld for 3000 years they could have a chance to win a battle, though nothing seem to be enough when it comes to the war...
@@Keilink The age old issue with any zerg rush is the first critter isn't the issue and often isn't the dozen following either. It's the hundred that comes after, then the thousand that come after that. Tyranids are one of the few foes where the Imperium knows better than to try 'we have reserves' style tactics as brute force is almost always an exercise in futility. Especially if fierce resistance actually encourages the hive fleet to further commit i.e. the exact opposite of what the Custodes is aiming for.
that entire conversation with Malachite I was just
"Do you want Renegade or traitor space marines? Because this is how you get Renegade or traitor space marines"
Maybe custodians are so sure that they cant be killed. They probably are right but i still find it grating the way they treated those marines.
@@SIGNOR-G Malachite knew she would've ended them right then and there & glassed the planet herself with what was left of the White Templars. Custodians don't have a history of responding well to "no."
There's a quote from the codex that reads as follows:
"That which failed once may fail again."
Custodians know that the marines could turn traitor over nothing. Honour led many to betray the Imperium during the heresy. Oaths sworn by imperial knights to astartes legions that turned traitor led the knights to turn traitor themselves due to the danger of becoming oath breakers.
In short, to answer your rethorical question... "Do you want renegade or traitor marines?" Eh, sure, add these ones to the list and capture a few for the next bloodgames.
If the Custodes have any flaws it is that they are a little too much like their progenitor. Calling them arrogant and inhumane beyond belief is probably being generous. They exterminated an entire chapter of Astarte on the grounds of 'because I said so' once.
@@xanmontes8715Other Chapters remember such acts. Why do you think the Black templar and Dark Angels have killed Custodies and Inquisitors, they do not view custodies the way baseline humans do.

To those wondering, the White templars succesfully defended the system with the help of the Astra Militarum, Navy, and the arrival of several Imperial fists succesor chapters and the Imperial fist fortress monastery, The Phalanx itself to defend the system.
That's good to hear, especially since my own Space Marine Collection I'm planning stems from 8 First Founding Chapters, some Indomitus Successors, and the White Templars as one of the Unknown Foundings. One of the first foundings I'm collecting is Imperial Fists, so pairing up the two may be a cool display of painted miniatures.

The Custodian telling the Space Marines to leave their planet and destroy it to slow the tyranids down is likely to make that chapter fall into chaos because of resentment to "The Emperor's Will." Also an Inquisitor did this exact same tactic to deprive the Tyranids of biomass and subsequently starve, and was kicked out of the inquisition because of how many Emperium worlds he destroyed while it slowed them down they founded another source of food. Da Orks, and that went as well as one would expect. Making the destruction of entire Emperium system worthless
I seriously wonder what happens next. Is there any aftercare done for the chapter?
I'm really conflicted about that. A custodian commanding an Astartes to do anything doesn't seem right. Not even the High Lords of Terra have authority over the Astartes. Could you imagine this custodian trying to tell Helbrecht, Grimnar, or Gabriel Seth (
@@lykos2738 Custodes are the emperors personal body guards and confidants, and therefor, are allowed to speak in his place when he is indisposed. Generally though, the specific group who carries out such duties are the "Emissaries Imperatus", aka "Heralds of the Golden Throne". Strangely enough, this custodes does not look like she is apart of that order, so I don't know why she is delivering the message.
@@lykos2738 they are the voice of the emperor. The highest authority beside the inquisition
@@Captain8ball not necessarily. In the imperial hierarchy, a lot of their authority is unofficial. They have a specific branch of custodians who do have very deliberate authority, but otherwise a single custodian, especially one without a high rank wouldn’t be in any position to officially demand anything from an Astartes captain. The only reason they do have power is because even impeding a custodian can be seen as treasonous and the imperium will always believe the custodian over the other party
God damn I felt the anguish of the captain
See this? This is how you get Renegade Space Marines
They don't trust Space Marines because Space Marines easily break and fall the chaos. Also she does have a point, the chapter doesn't have enough resources to protect that world it is doomed already.

I'm with majorkill on this one. Got no problem w Female custodes, just how GW handled it. Female space marines don't make sense but there is nothing wrong with custodes being mixed. Custodes don't use geneseed and are just ultra handcrafted humans. We know very little about how they are made other than their success rate is like 1/1000 aspirants.
Yeah there's several decades of lore specifically saying that Astartes can't be female due to some issue with the Geneseed not integrating properly. Custodes on the other hand are the Emperor's only perfect creations, at least genetics-wise. The Custodes are more genetically stable than the Astartes and are created to be individuals, not mass-produced like Astartes. Them being female makes perfect sense.
@@TheRedMan77 If they are going the perfect creation route, she should look like a Wonder Woman or Power Girl. Instead, she looks like some hideous thing born from bad mutations due to innreeding.
@@TheRedMan77 The loophole in that reason is the SoS are meant to supplement the Custodes. The Custodes need the SoS since they are weak to warp based combat. So muscle mommy SoS that used chemical therapy to bulk up to at least like at discount Custodes performance is more logical to supplement the losses of the Custodes during the Horus Heresy than a female Custodes.
Plus a female Custodes at the time of the paraplegic Emperor is less possible than the Primaris given that Cawl only improved the template and a female Custodes need a whole different set of genecrafting from the male specimens. There are male to female and female to male metamorphosis in the animal kingdom and a female specimen would need to be turned to male in order for the genecrafting to be more successful.
Another argument is the extreme traditionalism of the Imperium that a female Custodes would immediately be transferred to SoS or SOB since she would be alienated by the Custodes themselves much like Seth did at first to the Primaris reinforcement they got. Even guardsmen from different worlds have cooperation issues or cultural issues that led to conflicts.
@jahrusalem3658 so emperor was able to override whatever genetic limitation women have to turn them into bigger muscular freaks than your average space marine but he couldn't do so to turn a female into space marine? It's ridiculous dei and feminist craps shoved into established into warhammer lore that has always referred custodes as brotherhood not maamhood.
@@SATH-gd8eh Custodes don't run off Geneseed, they don't have extra organs and don't get gene-flaws like Astartes. They're just upscaled humans, each one personally created to be a scholar, a philosopher or a scientist as well as warriors. Astartes are made solely for war as quickly and cost-effectively as possible. If they work, why bother going through the trouble of making female ones when the males serve their purpose just fine?

@@RighteousInquisition The Custodes is an elite cadre of genetically-engineered transhuman male and female warriors who are even more potent in combat than the Adeptus Astartes. They are to the Space Marines as the Emperor is to His primarchs, and it is rumoured that each was created by the Master of Mankind personally. His might permeates them, burns in their eyes and flows through their veins as surely as their blood. As such, the Adeptus Custodes are widely regarded as the deadliest warriors in the galaxy, Human or otherwise.

Exactly. Yes it was a terrible introduction to just go there's always female custodes but they did right with not doing the holl "you'll leasing because I'm a boss bitch" shit.
Let's the man child's cry over it, As long as there's no bullshit or big shock in lore about a custodian being a women we should be just fine. We hardly see custodes do anything so either way is just great seeing one in action :).

sister of silence was such better lore than female custodies.
Something about her eyes and the way she looks at people is really off-putting to me. It’s both intense but also cold. Then you remember her mind is probably thinking a mile a minute, considering both possible scenarios, pros/cons, threat assessments, contingency plans, etc. And nowhere in that brilliant mind of hers is she put-off by the genocide she’s about to make these marines do, so long as it keeps Terra and the Emperor safe. She’s the closest thing Emps can get to his ideal “perfected” human and she’s utterly devoid of any humanity and incapable of disloyalty to him.
I headcanon that even with female Custodes being canon, they will have severely overtestosteronised complexion.
In reality it's just GW's decades-long inability to sculpt female faces.
@@eyeballpapercut4400 I mean it's not far from the truth tbh. Just look at any super muscular women. Testosterone is pretty much the deciding factor of muscle growth limits. A female custodes would have testosterone levels orders of magnitude higher than our worlds strongest man. Stronger features like pronounced brow ridges and a square face are decided by testosterone levels, so makes sense that a female custodes would look masculine
@@Callum38 also in lore, Custodes are usually depicted as a golden blur when fighting. So I would like to think that this custodes was slow enough to be depicted on camera because it was a FEEMALE, and thus much slower than her male counterparts.
(Edit Response - Original Comment below) Coming back to serve myself some humble pie, after touching some grass, discussing with other more fans who started earlier than I have and reading the replies to his I'll address my feelings straight up.
I'm ultimately OKAY with Female Custodes by the end of this (because what is a random shitter like me going to do that will change this?), I don't like HOW GW introduced them especially since I didn't know they introduced lore like "The lore was always like this" which from someone without context comes off as insulting to someone like me who got into this hobby through the lore and in this current political climate, I shouldn't have tried to push my own thoughts in such a unconstructive manner.
I want more representation but GW is doing it by ignoring everything else that would be great avenues like the Guard, Sisters of Battle, Sisters of Silence, Inquisitors, Rogue Traders, etc. and I feel they deliberately chose Custodes because it would generate the most clicks/debate which makes this push for something greater feel rather empty.
I'll be keeping the original comment to remember this L, but I will be editing in this response so that everyone else will know I see and acknowledge it.
(Original Comment) I wouldn't have been mad about this if GW didn't act like this idea was set all along (it wasn't), insulting our intelligence as fans and consumers whilst preemptively calling us bigots for it.
True female custodes are cool but they went about introducing them the wrong way
Agreed, the idea isn’t terrible (some retcons needed but Custodes lore was always weird in parts) it’s just how they tried to explain it away was terrible.
No one from GW is calling you a bigot. Some grifters on Twitter called you that and you mistakenly blamed that on GW. Jesus.
The only mistake they’ve made is revealing it on a Twitter reply and not building it up with a novel or something.
To put into perspective of how lazy it is; imagine if they did the same with Primaris. Instead of the long build up of introducing them in the game and in lore, they just straight up said that they’ve always existed in the first place on a Twitter reply.
@@rossvaljr.3852You think Twitter users aren’t calling people bigots? Are you dumb? That’s the whole point of that platform.
@@rossvaljr.3852 how else would you call "There was ALWAYS female Custodes"?
I'll give you if the writers involved don't say it after all the blasting they're getting from others about the show then I'll be pleasantly surprised but seeing people pushing diversity immediately using insults as a defense for their unpopular decision is happening too much for there not to be a pattern.
Lore fuckups aside, the writing, acting and visuals are deeply satisfying and detailed
Im more concerned with the story presented here than whos in the armor, honestly. Tzeentch is behind the minds that wrote this, undoubtedly.
If this was a new thing to help replenish the diminishing numbers of the custodies, it’d be one thing. But the way GW has handled this whole situation is ridiculous.
It's not the full episode it's super cut
@@cooperpatton776 while Number were never said directly, it's assumed only 1000 custodes survived the heresy. They also dont live 10000 years.
Halving the candidate even before that dont help.
Btw, considering big e original Plan for the custodes, halving female ones was plausible.
@cooperpatton776 You telling me that if the Custodians numbers dwindled to near extinction...you would be fine if GW rebuild this order with women? Are you alright?
@@PrakashSaturday-nr7by they were dwindled to extinction, and female custodes were never proibited by the lore (female astartes were intentionally no made, with big e designing the procedure not to work on female).
Custodes are human evolved to their peak.
Also, retired female custodes can be used to bear more custodes candidates
I don't object to 40Karen's appearance (see virilization in female pro bodybuilders), nor her being something "new" or "unique" among the Custodes. But I do object to TPTB's patronizing, gaslighting, and outright insulting attitude to the decades-old lore fans.
From what I read I thought there was no female custodians, they were all men. I'm a little behind on this.
@@thejanusproject32 That was never actually a thing folk just assumed because it said "sons" in one bit and it's true of Space Marines
I honestly never took their announcement as gaslighting and the way people jumped on that seemed way more like people looking for something to be angry about.
When GW adds something to the universe, there are two ways it can happen:
1) this is a new thing which didn't exist before - e.g. 'redeemed fallen' inner circle companions.
2) this is a new thing which has always existed as far as the universe is concerned- e.g. Storm Talon gunships (which they even went back and retroactively added into old artwork.
'There have always been female custodes' just means it's a case of the latter, not GW trying to suggest you're insane.
@@thejanusproject32 as noted it's not ever really been said in the same way. Space marines its been repeated and explicitly said the supersoldier process used only works on men, but custodes use a completely different technology.
Prior to the 9th edition codex only male custodes had been mentioned but in the 10th edition codex we got some female custodes namechecked.

I love how you probably picked up the "30 years of lore!!" metric somewhere and are just running with it. That 30 years old lore also had half eldar half human space marine Psykers, dude, stop taking it as gospel and as though it's all fundamental to the current setting.
They've killed off Primarchs back then and then released books with them revived. They retconned Primarch deaths from that era.
And the "hundreds of books!" is such a vast overstatement. Just... Calm down.

Would have been a far smarter move to keep the helmet on, keep the gender ambiguous and, importantly - irrelevant. Shoulda gone Master Chief. Especially in the first official thing we get showcasing a Custodes - ever.
Instead, they made a horrible mess of things that's made the whole episode look like a woke invasion of a predominantly male hobby. Like your little sister crying to your Mum about not letting her play with the boys so now Darth Vader is doing Barbie's hair. And there's no point complaining because you lost the moment your Mum got involved and girls are girls and never stfu and they all stick together secretly.
What they've done is drive a spike down the middle of whatever old, new, and may be fanbase they have, and split it in two.
God Bless Henry Caville, the man gets involved with GW for projects so quickly and excitedly and the increased popularity and fame of the IP seems to have destroyed it for a lot of people.
Just like the Witcher.... the man must feel cursed. But the curse is the internet. We're still in its infancy and are lousy at using it. Great power to create, great power to destroy, and both appear to have a kind of snowball effect to them that's just out of our control.
Somehow, the online voices of the combined 40k community who wanted the lore to go unchanged, were outnumbered by gay people and feminazis who will probably not buy the models if they make them. And somehow, GW seems to have a similar landscape on the inside. And that's just sad.
We've watched it happen to several things now. Witcher, 40k, even Tolkien's works are on the table for the butcher...
There's only so much changing and mutating you can feasibly do of these things before they're unrecognisable.... and you're left with some kind of cheap Pakistani copy of the original.

"You heard the Emperor's commands."
The Emperor is a skeleton sitting on a chair.
I don't much care for political agendas or lore dogmatism. I just love how fast they made her in combat. Such grace, such power. If this is what their vision is for custodes going forward I'm 100% on board.

@@CrisContrerasS35 she is the weakest custodian, in order to make a female custodian from my knowledge you would need more resources to make a less competent warrior.
I don’t want to explain everything and be that guy but the reason I say that is because women menstruate and has more estrogen, in order to make a female custodian as competent as a male one you have to make the female custodian as close to a male as possible, so your taking everything away from her that makes her a women. so your spending more time, more resources, and noble females that are in low quantity already to make female custodians.
Plus the lore says it impossible, just give the sisters of silence and all the female exclusive army’s some love. ( theirs a lore of female army’s in the imperium )
@@Loyalist-i7p Custodes are augmented during infancy when the difference between sexes is nearly nonexistant and they're all custom jobs anyway, so it's very possible to create female Custodes. No lore contradicts this.
There is still a retcon, though. Custodes were formerly said to be made from the _sons_ of Terra's nobility, which is clearly not the case anymore.
3:11 they nerfed the custode on this scene to help us watch as they are actually faster than thid and could've killed them all in a blink of an eye
What’s the point of making a female custodes if they’re just gonna make her just as masculine as the men? ALSO THEY HAVE THE SISTERS OF BATTLE! Why waste time and energy making a female custodes when you have sisters of silence?
Sisters of silence are blanks so you can’t just make anyone a sister of silence. Custodes are taken as infants and raised and augmented for the sole purpose of defending the Emperor as for using both men and women the augmentations make gender differences a non-issue so why would you limit your recruitment pool to only half of humanity especially since not everyone is compatible with Custodes augmentation.
@@jackstephenson165 well let’s pretend we know the operation to create custodes in the first place and it’s not a male only thing like the space marine geneseed. They’d recruit only men because men are naturally physically stronger than women. So why would they waste the resources to make a female custodes when a male one would produce better results. No let me turn the question on you. Yes only blanks can join the sisters of silence, but not all blanks are female, so why limit the sisters of silence to only female?
@@slothguy8826 I already explained why they recruit women the end result is the same. As for the Sisters of Silence look into planet 9-13 as it is one of the theories for the origins of the sisters of silence and explains why the sisters recruit women it’s a cultural thing.

@@jackstephenson165 well I explained why the end result wouldn’t be the same since men are physically superior to women. And why can’t it be a cultural thing for only men to be custodes?
