My favorite comment of the discourse has been, "GW will do anything to avoid developing the Sisters of Silence."

1:50 What your refering to is 'The Blood games'. And they go hard. REALLY hard. One custodian hide inside the palace for 20 years, curled up in some dark forgotten corner of a hidden passage probably so that he could sneak into the throne room. They might call it the blood games but they do not play games

The Emperor's plan, as far as I understand it, was that he would use the transhumans (Space Marines, Primarchs, Custodians) to eradicate all other species in the galaxy and reunite mankind under the banner of the Imperium, but wasn't planning for the transhumans to rule humanity, but rather, was planning to step down and let humanity rule itself. It's actually something that Malcador disagrees with, given how quick to corruption normal humans are, and he wanted the Emperor to continue to rule.

One thing I noticed about the Official twitter is after those remarks were made and the page blocked a few people they went pretty silent. I wonder if GW smacked the person runnning the page or something. BC that shit caused a bunch noise for all the wrong reasons. GW is typically silent they pull some shit

The custodians “play fighting” can last literal decades as a custodian hides waiting for the perfect moment to attempt an assassination on the emperor, the main reason they do this so seriously once caught they can remove / prevent the route used by the custodian to shore up their defenses. One custodian got far enough to almost strike the emperor on the throne.

"Chaos can't just win" WHFB has entered the chat

I'm bothered by 2 things. Normally we get big important lore updates in full length novels. Not a single offhanded twitter post. And secondly we have 2 women only factions in the Sisters of Battle and Sisters of Silence but NEITHER OF THEM have gotten consistent updates for their books or models. If GW really wants to be inclusive, THEN ACTUALLY DO IT. OTHERWISE ITS JUST VIRTUE SIGNALING.

[bobgrunsdigger]

Dude literally did the 'ACKHSUALLY' meme

[egzb]

I just wanted more sisters of silence models

edit : man, these comments are a shitshow

[samthompson]

The only way to test ultimate security is an ultimate threat - if you only fight things you know you can defeat, you're doomed!

[KrakDuk]

The emperor pretty explicitly does not want the primarchs, custodes, astartes or anyone but regular humans to rule the galaxy😂 He himself established the high lords of Terra which pissed off some of his trans humans

[WarlanderTV]

Thanks for touching this subject respectfully. I enjoyed this video a lot more than most people covering this.

Main problems that people seem to have with the change:
1. The reason for the change
2. Pretending that there wasn't a change
3. Pretending that the people who are against it are a vocal minority who shouldn't be respected, whilst kowtowing to an even louder minority and making the change in the first place.
4. Pretending that people against the change hate women or are bigoted.
5. Signalling that a desire for a male only faction/army etc is immoral.

[ChaseTheChamp]

The blood games are not really a ritual. It is just continues training so that the Custodes can always make sure they are on the top of their game.

[RedJesseGaming]

4:20 i believe in one of the corvus books its actually stated that 20 rooms were made deep in a mountain for all the primarchs to retire to after everything is done

[drazenbristow]

I've seen a lot of people accusing others of sexism, and it actually really irritates me. It's reductive and more often and not, inaccurate. The problem isn't that there are Custodes that are women. The problem is that GW is spitting in our damn face and made a huge mistake with how they introduced them. Actively spewing bullshit about lore that has been established canon for *years*, for the sake of pandering, instead of giving more in-depth lore about the Sisters of Silence and the Sisters of Battle. I firmly believe that if they introduced them as something new to the universe like the Primaris were, it would have gone down *much* better.

[gothnerdfifi]

they have added a female custodes purely so the amazon series can have one in it and it be lore accurate, rumor ive heard

[sylthaya]

+female custodes
-no we arent gonna make models for it

-no we arent gonna remember the sisters of battle, nor the sisters of silence....

[mogwiawolf]

like i left star wars for warhammer cause i got tired of being given the finger for being a fan of a franchise i loved and grew up watching and seeing it get destoryed and no longer be the star wars i love and this is kinda how it started in the beginning but we were like fine and welcoming at first and over time you notice things that you didn't see before but once again like i said there is a right way to introduce these new Custodes but saying they always been around is the wrong way to go about it

I think that in most training for space marines the humans do often die, or get wounds that put them on the edge of death, but the medics are able to bring humans back from the dead because they have such a simple genetic makeup
