#like first of all SoS are exclusively 1:1billion mutants with the blank gene you can’t just grab anyone

[transmechanicus]

The news has reached me that there are canon female custodes, and that the reactions have been mmm well, mixed. I don’t play custodes on tabletop but i do love the faction, and i think it’s an interesting and harmless little addition to the setting. Somewhere in the mists of time some custodes put his genhanced transhuman mind to work and asked himself “What if instead of just taking boy babies for the Full Genome Restructuring Into An Exalted Demigod…what if we took all the babies.” Now we have the Golden Roughly Twenty Thousand, double the protection for the Emperor😌

#my stuff #wh40k #warhammer 40k #also a lot of ppl were bitching about how this disrespects the sisters of silence #like first of all SoS are exclusively 1:1billion mutants with the blank gene you can’t just grab anyone #and they’re already sharing recruit pool with the Culexus Temple #but also don’t pretend you suddenly care about SoS or SoB when you’re just trying to pit bad bitches against each other #there’s no in-universe reason custodes can’t be women and you will not die because of it #like i’m willing to swallow all-male marines bc it’s explicitly a monastic (all male) knight inspired order #but for custodes it’s just grabbing babies to uplift into heroic champions to guard the emperor #no one with eyes can tell me seeing the stormcast lady kick the shit out of skaven didn’t do something for you #same deal with female custodes. their competency is not in question and it’s also kinda hot as a bonus
