This game should add female custodes

[t0xin]

Now that female custodes are canon. What's a better way to feature them than a game like this. The devs should definitely make a dlc about them.

A custodes game would be pretty sweet. I can't think of one off the top of my head where we get to play as or interact with the Custodes. They're supposed to be a noticeable step up in power from the Astartes. It would be interesting to see what a Custodes was capable of considering any given random Custodes should be able to completely stomp all over our boy Titus without even trying and Titus is over here saving planets nearly single handedly.

Yeah, I somehow doubt you had to pretend too hard to reach that lofty 50. I'm sensing that might be pretty close to your natural state.

Only if we can play as Captain-General Kitten

Why should we have female Space Marines or Custodes? Did everyone suddenly forget the Sisters of Battle? Their literally women in power armor and are basically female space marines. There are way more of them to make up for their lower strength and resiliance.

Female Custodes are already canon. It's not a question of "why should we" so much as "when do we get to see them (or any custodes) in a game?"

Female Custodes are nonsense added to appeal to people who don't even like the setting. TTS is more canon accurate than Femstodes.

Seems like canon is more accurate than well, a headcanon series.
Anyways, have this :)

** Tyrith Shiva Kyrus (the first three of a long list of honorific names earned fighting for the Emperor) has the privilege of being our first portrayal of a female Custodian Guard since the recent revelation that Custodians can be any gender. This fact came as a real surprise to many, since it wasn’t something previously explored. That, in and of itself, isn’t a particularly unusual thing for Warhammer 40,000 and its lore; there are simply loads of things the Warhammer Studios have never expressly stated, whether that’s ruling them in or out.***

Since the earliest conversations about bringing the Horus Heresy to the tabletop and Black Library fiction, the exact nature of the Custodians has been under discussion – after all, their origins and means of creation, unlike for example, the Legiones/Adeptus Astartes, are shrouded in mystery.

A significant advantage to this portrayal is that it helps us to address a common misconception – that the Custodes are just bigger, better Space Marines. They aren’t. Space Marines were made through industrialised ritual to be mass-produced, brute-force weapons of conquest. And even 10,000 years after their creation, draped in self-assigned glory, that’s still true of them at their core.

Each Custodian, on the other hand, is unique. Painstakingly made through peerless craft and arcane artifice, their physique, their psyche, their very soul, is a bespoke instrument of the Emperor they unquestioningly serve.

1) I think Custodes are likely too powerful to be comparable to Space Marines (for a player character anyway) so I'm not sure if they'd be a good fit.

2) Why did you phrase it "This game should add female Custodes." Why not just "This game should add Custodes."

lol, don't get it twisted, I'm totally fine with female Custodes, but signaling them out specifically is kinda weird (unless you're trying to stir-up people because you know it's a touchy subject :P).

The secret is it is trying to stir up people

lol *sigh* I guess I may have been giving the OP too much credit when I thought they just wanted to see Custodes in the game. . . XD

Custodes are even stronger than marines. You can't just throw them in the game and expect that to work.

[Rathiz]

wonder if op is one of the exec blocking the 40k show from amazon by demanding something that's not lore

[Gideon]

Okay on the real. Female custodes would be cool. and i say this as someone who is really against the... well... adding crap into games that dont belong there.

As a fellow fan of Warhammer 40k I have to say they should really tone down the "Grimdark".
Like, why are Chaos Space Mariens so angry all the time? It was all a big misunderstanding. They should have CSM's and Loyalists sit down and talk things out. I find all this anti-immigrant/anti-xenos talk to be problematic in our current political climate so we should get rid of that, also. Theirs no reason why everyone cant just get a long!

I read a reddit post that said Khorne and the other Chaos gods weren't even a thing back in the early days of 40k when it was Rogue Trader, there is NO reason we cant change them and make them the good guys. I mean, the Emperor is basically T*ump who is a fascist so why should he be the good guy?
