Some teeth long for ripping, gleaming wet from black dog gums. So you keep your eyes closed at the end. You don't want to see such a mouth up close. before the bite, before its oblivion in the goring of your soft parts, the speckled lips will curl back in a whinny of excitement. You just know it.
That one's really well done.

It also occurs that the Primaris Marines are all the excuse GW needs to do female Space Marines now. Cawl worked it out, shut up and buy models.

Are there any other instances of Games WOKEshop doing more lore reveals or retcons on things like what's happened with the Custodes?

Is any of the fact that they're non-binary explicitly in the lore, or is it discussed ever or is it just only mentioned in how Orkz reproduced and biology in like the codex or something?

e: grammar

I mean the Horus Heresy - the foundational part of the backstory - was a retcon created becuase they could only afford moulds for a single faction for the first edition of Adeptus Titanicus. There's no mention of Chaos in Rogue Trader. Or Tyranids - I believe Genestealers were, but they were, you guessed it, retconned into being Tyranids. IIRC the inital references to the Custodes themselves didn't actually specify they had to be one gender - when they were writing them in the Horus Heresy novels, the authors discussed it and were planning on having female Custodes since there was nothing in the lore at that time preventing it, but were overruled by a higher up* because the models were all male, despite the fact that there were enough face-obscuring helmets to go around for the kits and they could have just sold optional female bare heads later down the line, like they did for the early Stormcast Eternal range. So the Custodes being all men is itself a retcon.

*Almost certainly Tony Cottrell, who's made racist and sexist comments in the past and GW has quietly stuffed in a closet somewhere (I don't know why he's not been fired - he's been there since the Rogue Trader days so maybe it's a contractual thing?) who I'm sure has opinions about the Custodes retcon to the retcon.

That one’s not a female Space Marine, that’s Sisters of Battle Armor. They just altered the backpack so it has projected vents similar to the Anvilus pattern backpacks that are traditionally worn by Chaos Space Marines.

I was reacting more to the female Space Wolf picture with that thought. I just really liked the creepy chaos one as a drawing.

Most art of female Space Marines incorporates a more shapely chest plate to some degree, so that wasn’t the giveaway. I was going off the shape of the pauldrons, the gorget, the tubes, and especially the sleeves. No Astartes armor I’ve ever seen has sleeves like that, those are pure SoB.

Saalkin posted:

The three pieces of art naem posted were a Tzeentchian Sister of Battle(non-canon), a female Custodian(canon), and a gender-swapped Leman Russ(sadly non-canon). So none of them were actually Space Marines.

That’s not a Space Wolf, that’s specifically Leman Russ. that artist has done a ton of art of gender-swapped Primarchs.

There are other artists working in the field of gender-swapped Primarchs but I don’t think you’d be any happier with their work.

I think they're pretty good

it's not easy to make gender-swaps that recognizable with only a headshot, and the second one is a nice rendition of a genuinely sweet moment in the backstory, so there.

For All Mankind
The Frateris Templar who were banned because the Ecclesiarchy did a thing, getting us the Sisters due to the wording loophole, were shirtless tattooed Sardaukar.

quote:

Initially, the equipment of the Frateris Templars seemed to resemble that of the Imperial Guard. Frateris Templars soldiers were equipped with Carapace Armour and gold-plated Lasguns with crackling Power Bayonets.[2b]

However, during the Age of Apostasy, the Templars had become fierce warrior-zealots. Each had been stripped of their humanity and personality and rebuilt entirely on the basis of the Imperial Creed, with the sole purpose of sacrificing themselves for the God-Emperor. Their muscular bodies were often covered with intricate ritual scars and religious tattoos, signifying their undying devotion to Master of Mankind.[3]

They fought with their torsos bare, covering their lower bodies with white half-robes laced with gold. Each Templar was protected by a shimmering energy shield generated by a spinal implant, and armed with high-cadence Lasblasters and gold-hilted swords with blades of pure Hematite. In combat, their shields protected them well from all forms of gunfire, but if an enemy managed to penetrate their protective bubble, they were forced to depend on their speed and skill in melee combat.[3]

Whenever someone mad about girls in their spaceman setting goes 'well why are there no Brothers of Battle???' I'm gonna go, yes, actually, bring this back.

Unrelatedly I made this spaceship for an RPG thing.
