Yep I heard from Arch, a FEMALE custodies in 40k...
Thin edge of the wedge is in, especially since just like the female counter to the Space Marines is the Sisters of Battle, the Custodies had the Sisters of Silence.
Expect there to be grumbling and a decrease in game workshop sales soon. They were warned that the only thing keeping their customers was THE SETTING, certainly not most of their products and media..
I assume it is going to be slow boiling frog. We have the lore change but no female minis for a while, let people get used to the idea and then introduce more female characters and minis.
Yeah, you've already got the plants and white knights in that thread going "there probably won't be female minis, so I won't care"
The same strategy was employed in comic books. Replacing established heroes with diversity replacements or changes was done at the fringes. They weren't going to make Superman gay, but Alan Scott? Ripe for a makeover take over.
It's funny because Muh Diversity replacements can he pointed and laughed at as examples of how checkmark box X filler race/sex swap just shows the authors are admittong that demographic doesn't deserve its own character.
Now consider the subtle implications that the only way a black character can exist is by stealing
my bikethe identity of a white character.Every time I consider getting into Warhammer tabletop, I remember - oh yeah, I fucking hate Games Workshop.
Thanks for making me not waste all my money, I guess...
Same here, I so want to get into it but I rather read some of the books I acquired from somewhere online or bought 2nd hand. GW sucks
Their book pricing is absolutely goddamn obscene. Over twenty bucks for a paperback? Are you out of your goddamn mind?
Every time I focus on GW's stuff, I'm reminded that they're a tabletop RPG company founded back in the 1970s. How they've lasted this long, I can only attribute to sheer, unholy autism on the fans part.
If they ever kill that, GW will go belly-up in short order.
If you have or get a 3D resin printer, you can make all your own models. It’s pretty pricey up front, but fairly quickly breaks even.
That’s only if you’re really going to get into it though.
