Anybody got a tip for a good source for some Egyptian-style birdmen to go with Thousand Sons? I don't care for the jagged, wild demon look of a Tzaangor but I need a handful of birdbeastmen things for Warpcoven Kill Team. They can be golems or undead or something if that works.

I came up with this in 2022/2023 while arguing with manchildren about the boys only club being dismantled on redditMy banned reddit account posted:First, introduce a retcon: The Custodes have always been able to custodize women because the Emperor had time to perfect the process of the lengthy Custodes template. The reason no one out of lore noticed is because there's no differentiation in armor design in the Custodian guard. Per in-universe lore, it is no one else's business how Custodes are made or who they're made from; it's all classified. So yes, I'm taking credit for this new lore.

Corvus Cabal/Cypher Lords was my first thought, but they're more humans with bird ornamentation. Maybe they'd make good kitbash material though. The whole range is going the legends route so maybe it'll be cheap? The only other bird-ish thing I found are Raptoryx models, but there's nothing Egyptian about them.

What about Kroot? The base troops are going pretty cheap from resellers piecing out the army set. And feathers are some of the more popular and easy accents to make with green stuff so there's plenty of tutorials. Macdeo Lurjtux fucked around with this message at 05:51 on Apr 14, 2024 |

I'm in several 40k Discords that are predominately chill people, but the fun part of events like this is that it always seems to flush out weirdos who can be poked at with sticks until they inevitably melt down. Last night one guy in particular was twisting himself into knots trying to explain how women in 40k was somehow keeping GW from updating the model ranges that really needed it, while being actively trolled the whole time.

I would like male-only-Space Marines if it was more of a commentary on child soldiers and the military machine. Young boys being brainwashed and conditioned into living weapons. But the setting wants to treat marines as knightly heroes, and everyone should get to see themselves that way.

Young boys being brainwashed and conditioned into living weapons. But the setting wants to treat marines as knightly heroes, and everyone should get to see themselves that way. I feel like this commentary is made multiple times actually. Space Marines are bred for war and little else. There's a very strong implication that when the galaxy has been pacified the Emperor would have ordered the Space Wolves (and Custodes?) to wipe out the other Legions just like how he disposed of the Thunder Warriors. All Marines undergo hypnotherapy to make them more compliant and erase their pre Marine memories. When Guilliman comes back one of the things he does is criticize the Blood Angels for purposely leaving Baal a shithole under the impression that harsh environment produces better soldiers. IIRC one of the main characters of Devastation of Baal is a boy who sustains a head injury and has to drop out of initiation because of it. The BAs have the technology to patch it up so he can keep trying but they don't give a poo poo because clearly he's a failure.

The Custodes models already have enormous chest pieces and wide hips, so they might have been women all along. I don't think GW needs to modify the models, although the female Stormcast have been feminized very respectfully, so if they end up doing so, it'll probably look good anyway. Ideally they'd just toss a few feminine-presenting heads onto the sprues. Realistically though, we are many years from GW updating the sprues, so none of this is going to happen.

This is addressed in some of the books, sometimes in a heartbreaking fashion. The POV character in 'Spear of the Emperor' had a brother sent into the trials to become Astartes, and it....did not go well. The Night Lords trilogy also has moments showing how brutalized and dissociated the 'candidates' are, even when the legion is still loyal. But yeah, any such message of "see, these are broken people montruously forged into ingots" sadly gets undone 90% of the time by cover art going "LOOK at these stalwart badasses nobly facing impossible odds!"

I tried to make a post on Reddit (I should have known better) about the language we use when referring to female Custodians saying we shouldn't call them Femmstodes, or Custodettes like I was seeing thrown around, because it's insulting and derogatory, but I just got shouted down for being pedantic  I just thought it was weird to see people be like "I can't wait to mod my army into custodettes! These girls are gonna be so bad rear end" it feels like they're talking about being excited about finally being able to have women of their very own to dress up and play with. That isn't supporting the idea of women in the custodes. That's thinly veiled creepy Fritzl type poo poo. The lovely nature of the community never ceases to amaze me. It's becoming more and more discouraging to stay interested in this hobby.

Most people probably do just want the boob armor though. Otherwise you could have swapped heads, or not even bothered at all since the giant bulky armor is completely dehumanizing and the person underneath it might as well not even exist.

Chris Fitzpatrick sculpted for Citadel for a while so they don't quite match the modern aesthetic but they have a Middlehammer look that shouldn't look too wildly out of place.

I don't think nudging against it is wrong at all, though, especially if you're doing your little part in the rhetoric. More that I wouldn't despair for humanity just yet, lol

I’m not actively trying to follow this topic on Twitter, but I guess liking a couple posts about Custodes is all it takes to flood your feed with it: https://x.com/warhammer/status/1779544596172689822?s=46&t=A_8U-gLj0vdEjhuKPT6Drw The official Warhammer account is doubling down on support for Fem-Custodes, which is cool to see. I’ve just been waiting for someone to open the floodgates on the idea that just because that Custode used “She” pronouns, doesn’t necessarily mean they’re biologically female. And then see chuds’ heads explode at the idea of a genetically engineered meta-human in the year 40,000 being trans.

I think there's a pretty good case to make that they could have been female all along. When you're an 8 foot tall walking talking hulking genetic freak with questionably as much of your original body left as you have now, who's to say you started off with one set of plumbing over the other? You're barely even human anymore and you live your life in either isolation or a form fitting fusion powered tank.
