I've always been highly skeptical of the claim that Female Custodies were due to Amazon - come the fuck on, people, it was a goddamn 4chan thread of all things - but the more I've considered the matter, the more I've been confused.
The whole thing around female space marines has been a contentious topic. People at GW know this, and while Games Workshop is really fucking stupid, they're not normally stupid in this way. So not only did they drag the whole 'female space marines' non-start out back at shoot it in the head - twice - we have female BETTER than Space Marines.
Yet, there's no female Custodies models, and no plans whatsoever to have any female custodies models. They launched a tactical nuke into the fandom in the most limp-wristed manner possible - via twitter posting and a little fiction blurb in the new codex.
The idea that Amazon has GW over a barrel - and GW knows it, and are freaking out over the entire deal and the devil they've signed a pact with - is looking more and more likely. I'm not sure I believe it, but I really hate how much sense it makes.
Games Workshop is still a piece of shit company, though.
Schizo rant incoming;
