Arch has been doing the rounds on this making a good point as how Amazon could be behind this:
With any character changes or introduction in 40k, GW follows up quickly with a new figurine to buy since that is their primary product.
Where are the female Custodian figurines?
It seems the fact they outright gaslit their customers has pissed off even the whales that buy their sets, if they aren't buying 3D printers by now, they are buying from those that HAVE 3D printers.
Even twenty years ago when I was still doing the tournament and painting circuit, a ton of people used bootleg and third party miniatures. Only time you didn't see it everywhere was official stuff since GW banned it from official play like the turbofags they are.
Outside of say, Golden Demon competition? Everyone was using knock offs.
Tbh I kbew a guy that's been featured in white dwarf and displayed in Nottingham Warhammer world.
His entire army is from chyna. Either the stuffs so good now GeeDubs can't tell the difference or as I suspect, he was sucking off the judges.
If they openly took bribes in the 90s I can't imagine it got better.
Were they any good, though? The 3D printed stuff? Or are we talking Chinese imitation from actual factories?
In the 90s it was Chinese knock offs yeah.
If they had any imagination whatsoever this could easily have been avoided SM.
A specialist birthing sect in the style of The Handmaid's Tale who were completely out-of-sight of the main warfare aspect of the universe but still as capable in a variety of other ways, rich in lore and subculture(s) completely clandestine until something happens which opens up their existence for a specific story. Perhaps an evolved Sisterhood of Silence agent or even buried deeper in the shadows.
But nope, give me your toys and I'll just make them immediately into my toys because that's how you establish a massive following going on 40 years.
I hope Cavill doesn't get too pissed off with this like he did with The Witcher or we might get another Alec Holowka, with him going the way of George Reeves and a bunch of folk saying "It was nothing I did or said..."
This would still be diversity pandering and bad.
To be honest, the greater importance GW has given Sisters of Battle, female inquisitors, how every Eldar main character these days tends to be female -- They're already pandering hard.
I'd much rather they play their hand this way, it clarifies the situation.
Any change in the rules or adoption of new elements always comes with some friction and this is to be expected.
I'm far from hardcore or even close to being far from hardcore but my friends (And apparently their communities) are livid over this.
Hopefully it calms down to something akin to being settled again but they might give up the game altogether - Like I have done with Star Wars and Star Trek.
There's good reason to be livid, because Leftists don't care about canon in franchises. Woke infestation basically signals the end of the franchise as we've seen with Star Wars, Star Trek, Dr. Who, Witcher, Marvel, etc.
There's no point in caring about the IP if the rules of the IP can be changed on a whim based on some Leftist's personal feelings.
The correct action in this time is for fans to simply draw a line in the sand. No more GW products, no more GW books or lore are canon (most of the recent stuff is shite anyway since they decided that Belisarius Cawl can just magick do anything with no rhyme or reason).
With Doctor Who there is Big Finish and some reasonable enough novels which will keep the community going. But now Disney has is hooks into it that's not a certainty.
Doctor Who can & should just retcon all of the stuff beyond David Tennant or Matt Smith (take your pick).
That being said, it's not going to happen officially and I haven't seen much fan effort to salvage it away from the ongoing vandalism. So as a franchise this one looks like it's probably dead forever.
GW don't appear great at their own lore so they'd never come up with a plausible reason.
I kind of liked the Primaris marines purely because they advance the story and correct the power creep of SM's getting overshadowed. Their implementation was garbage though, my head canon is that "Bellisarius Cawl is just a cover story"
Already I've seen enough unified rhetoric from various NPCs on forums that it's clear that a new update dropped; From 'toxic fandom', to 'they're just tourists', to 'ragebating youtubers trying to get clicks' to 'warhammer always had retcons'- it's a positive cavalcade of confession through projection.
I really fucking hate these people. The amount of trannies shrieking about 'mommy custodes slaughtering space marines' is going to be fall-down insufferable.
This. I don't even follow Warhammer news much and only know some of the surface level stuff, but for the news channels covering it, there is a non-negligible amount of individuals who I see that keep saying that line you quoted above.
It lets me know that the rot has infested enough of the fanbase that gatekeeping at this point will not happen in any regard.
Praise be to Space King!
1d6chan is pretty much defending this bullshit, a new mirror/fork of 1d4chan is needed to replace them.
I'm starting to think your threshold for "defending" is anything other than ignoring it entirely.
-1d6's first sentence about the incident.
How 1d6chan describes it.
There is an aggressive party made up of fags, hags, and trannies who are fueled entirely by spite, and a defensive party who just wanted to be left alone. It's not a spontaneous passive voice battleground with two equivalent sides.
(Shrug)
I wasn't talking to you. I commented because Ableist keeps getting in fights and losing.
Your opinion and the prevailing consensus of 1d6 is of no concern to me (as long as they steer clear of my stuff about Alternity). What fascinates me is Able's inability to learn how to communicate with others.
They literally temp blocked me when I asserted the alt-right is fictional in the talk section of the /pol/ article.
You immediately called Walrus a moron for saying something true which you disagreed with. If you haven't figured it out by now, your angry marine Don Quixote schtick just doesn't work.
We here ARE alt-right. You know that.
It hasn't begun, its been raging off and on for decades at this point. It's only a few years ago they've begun changing up tactics.
I see the theory that Amazon forced it for the show, and it seems plausible and even likely.
But it also feels like an attack on Henry Cavill. He's a Custodes player and has stated that his greatest wish is to play Constantin Valdor. Everything Cavill has touched has been ruined by Hollywood and woke right under his nose. Got to wonder at this point if there isn't someone who really hates him.
The Witcher Netflix project was woke before he signed on. He got to see all those trashy woke scripts, he met the (screeching harpy) feminist show runner and he knew of the reputation of Netflix and its diversity strangulation-contracts.
