RUMOR: Tenth edition ending introduces female Space Marines!

[Bray of Cats]

10th is meant to end with a rule 63 deus ex machina from another universe. 11th is meant to start with female geneseed being dropped off and taught how to use it.

Also hints that a Horus Heresy style event happened in the other universe, but these femarines were the rebels who won.

Models of some kind are meant to come with 11th. Not sure if it is upgrade sprues or full models!

Must be a return to more of a jokey way for lore. I will keep this updated with more rumors about it!

Boxsets and starter armies will start at $800USD or 10,000,000 Swedish Krona

So you are here to make sure everyone knows you are better than them then? This is an unreleased game forum, that must be the only other reason to be here?

Hope they will sell a lot of these new models to girls to make up for all fans that will leave.

Don't you want more canon with your mostly retcon setting?

It's their IP. Question is, if everything is "fluid" & potentially subject to change, then what can ever truly be considered "canon" with this IP?

Everything is canon. Not everything is right though

Which I think is an excellent way to handle an overgrowing universe such as this and can easily wave away retcons. Of course, it does hurt "lore purists" because there is no "set in stone" lore. Everything is subject to change. Which allows players to further expand their own homebrew for the tabletop. Like how my Imperial Guard are searching for an STC, trying to discover it and unlock (unknown to them) all the Taco Bell recipes

I feel like people were less obsessed with canon when I was younger. People just wrote new stories without having to check against a whole bunch of scattered old lore for consistency.

Every form of media generally didn't care at all about what was canonical ten minutes ago, they just wrote they wanted.

And people upset by this were portrayed as....

I think it's just due to the ever changing world and the ability to just see the changes. Good or bad, regardless of perspective. People subconsciously feel like they don't have much say in anything, so they cling to older things for comfort. Or try to show off how cool they are for "respecting the past!" when it's just fictional content.

If it looks neat, I'm generally down with it. For example, I don't hold the sequel movies for Star Wars in high regard. But I will die before saying the Holdo maneuver wasn't ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ awesome

EDIT: Just remembered, there's also cases of symbolism that's important to people, which I can understand. However, these are a typically a more "case by case" situation that relates to an individual, rather than say. The people in a faction, or anything to do with a group. However, modifications to a group can absolutely damage the symbolism of an individual if done to an extreme extent. A personal example for me would be if the Covenant was drastically retconned to actually be some rather good fellows, and made Thel Vadamee the baddie. This would drastically change his redemption story arc, and the meaning of his Mark of Shame to me. However, if they said there were women as sangheili warriors, that doesn't really change much in terms of the overall story that played into the symbolism present with Thel Vadamee.

Does the passage of time moving forward count as a retcon? Has that been retconned to be a retcon? We will never know...........

what about all those dudes out there, who love to RP as female toons in the games they play. They are a dime a dozen in MMOs for example. Maybe they will buy em.

If even the most basic foundations of the settings are subject to massive retcons that can destroy nearly half a century's worth of lore, be it in books or video games, then nothing is canon too.
