Games Workshop @warhammer LIES about CUSTODES and RETCONS LORE, gender FLIPPING them in the new 10th edition codex for woke points (and possibly to prep for larger changes ahead...aka rumored female Space Marines).
I'll PROVE it in this thread. (con't)🧵
Warhammer 40k is a grimdark sci-fi tabletop game that is the #1 miniature gaming IP in the world.
The Adeptus Custodes are the Emperor's inner guard and much stronger, better in every way than space marines.
Introduced in the Rogue Trader rules in 1987 as MEN from the VERY START.
The next appearance of the Custodes in their trademark gold armor appeared in the Horus Heresy trading card game in 2003.
I searched EVERY Custodes card and found ZERO female artwork.

In the 7th and 8th edition of the official Custodes codexes, they are repeatedly referred to as the BROTHERHOOD of Demigods, recruited from the SONS of nobles.

ALL the artwork of Custodes have been MALE in these Codexes.
The lore is very clear about this. Custodes are a BROTHERHOOD, and SONS of Nobles. All the artwork confirms this.

Games Workshop is simply LYING when they claim that "there have always been female Custodians."
If so, why is there no mention of this, no artwork, and all the fluff and released art FOR DECADES reinforces they are MALE?
So why did they do this?
(Con't)
By now, we all KNOW the reason for this.
They are re-writing the CORE LORE of Warhammer 40k in order to pander for ESG and DEI MASTERS who collectively own nearly a QUARTER of their stock! 22.6%!

We are all familiar with how Blackrock and Vanguard promote their own POLITICAL agendas by pulling the money strings. What you may not know is that Baillie Gifford, the LARGEST shareholder in Games Workshop, is the European equivalent of Blackrock in that...
Their motive is the same as Blackrock. To DRIVE CHANGE. THEIR CHANGE.
(con't)
Instead of introducing NEW LORE, they seek to destroy and retcon the OLD LORE, even lying to your face to pretend it was ALWAYS that way when it never was!
They could have brought back the Sisters of Silence to the palace to fight alongside the Custodes. But instead they REWRITE HISTORY.
It's time to say "NO" in loud voices and push back on the erasing of male spaces in games. Lore should not be DESTROYED for true diversity to happen. This is just driving a wedge between everyone. They do not seek to INCLUDE YOU in their NEW WORLD.
Fight back. Don't buy the 10th edition codex, and spread the WORD.
