They would certainly treat the IP better than GW is.

No.

Where Space Marines represent the mass-produced, genetically-engineered soldiers of the Imperium of Man, the Adeptus Custodes are a force of individual warriors, each a bastion in his own right and a sentinel of unmatched capability and singular purpose created to counter any possible threat -- Human, alien or Daemonic. -- Adeptus Custodes wiki

The Adeptus Custodes is the Emperor's inner guard, the members of which are privileged in being permitted to serve upon the Emperor, attending to his needs, receiving and recording his directions. These men never leave Earth and only rarely leave the Imperial Palace - an endless, black hive of forbidden technology and subterranean passages delving deep within the bowls of the planet. -- Rogue Trader 1987

Horus Heresy trading card game back in 2003 has Custodes in it. There is zero females depicted as Custodes.

In the 7th and 8th edition 2017-2018 of the official Custodes codexes, they are repeatedly referred to as the brotherhood of demigods, recruited from the sons of nobles. All the art work are depicting men.

GW is lying to their customers to retcon the lore. Want more details? Go to X and look up Grummz. He did all the research and put together a series of posts sharing all of this.

I guess this is where I drop the mic.

You know if these activists were actually storytellers, they'd tell a compelling story that was character driven and was rich with development.

The biggest crime of all is that these people are hacks, with no ability to tell a good story, or any real insight on humanity that they can tell in a compelling manner.

Their real motivation is they want to control you, because they're not interested in their craft, they're not really activists, they're all just trying to position themselves with creating social currency so that they can influence people.

It's like trying to make a SJW bitcoin and con people into buying it.

cant wait for the boltgun to turn into the gun equivalent of a lightsaber in that getting shot with one means literally nothing and characters can just walk it off after you slap a bandaid on it and call it a day

Yes, I want my billion dollar corporate properties to be exclusive.

LMAO. GW and creative integrity in the same sentence.

Omg, I was laughing so hard at creative integrity I missed this gem too.

It's only a political discussion NOW? Hello?

To quote one of my friends, "When it came out it was about the commie Tau and the proceedingly facist Empire and Space Marines, but NOW it's political clearly"

Oh boy, this thread has been hilarious, please continue.

Hahahahah wow, That is amazing. The satire in 40k isn't even subtext, it's a flashing lit up sign that'd be appropriate for the Vegas strip.

That is approaching osmium density. What do you want to bet they'd criticize the Tau for being a 1984 esque dystopia, which it is, while ignoring the authoritarian theocracy that the Imperium is?

And bruhs acting like anything Rogue Trader did in the 80s is set in stone. If that were the case, 40k would still just be their take on the Aliens' bug hunt. Do not even deny it, that's what 40k started as.

DC has always been terrible imo because their superheroes like any real depth and are caricatures (but obviously opinions differ), so I don't care how they did (but also Wonder Woman is the highest grossing of the franchise).

Marvel is doing fine buddy, literally one of their films made $206mil vs it's budget of $270mil. I think the several billion they got from the other films will make up for it maybe though.

New ghostbusters films did great, but I assume you're referencing the 2016 one, which still made a profit by the way, so..

Star Wars, don't make me laugh. The failure of the latest trilogy (not monetarily, that's for sure though) was nothing to do with being 'woke' or anything similar and entirely to do with rehashed plots and lack of original content. The TV series' have done fantastically better because people have appreciated the good storytelling.

They own it, they can retcon all they want, as they've done many times before.

female spacemarines is the chaos position.
corrupted, deformed and probably dilating.

if there would be a "wider audience" to capture, there would be a mattel barbie tabletop wargame.

Also, how can it be lying when they have made this garbage up, across several decades, in the first place?

Oh no, there's more X's in the Adeptus Custodes, now. Truly, this is the worst thing to befall 40k. Now, allow me to conveniently ignore the absolute trash that came out under the command of Matt Ward, the Spiritual Liege.

Fabius may want female Space Marines, but there are none. If I remember correctly he wants to recreate the process of making Space Marines but is unable to do so.

I completely forgot about that, but yeah, he's from Anatolia. It makes you wonder why Ottoman influences aren't more prevalent.

On X, GW rep claimed that female Adeptus Custodes have always been a thing. So yes, they are lying.
