What is the Female Custodes Controversy? | Warhammer

Описание: In this video, we dive deep into the ongoing debate and controversy surrounding the inclusion of female Custodes in Warhammer 40K. The Adeptus Custodes, elite warriors who are the Emperor’s personal guard, have long been depicted as genetically perfected men, but recent lore updates and models have introduced the possibility of female Custodes. We explore the origins of the controversy, reactions from the Warhammer community, and the implications this shift has on the lore and faction representation. Is this a natural evolution of the universe, or a misstep that clashes with established lore?

📚 First appearance: Female Custodes were first introduced in Warhammer 40K lore in 2019, with the release of the Sisters of Silence and the broader exploration of the "Sisters of the Shield" in novels and other media. However, the most notable introduction came with the release of the Adeptus Custodes codex in 2020, when Games Workshop revealed the concept of female Custodes models. These models were further developed with the release of the Adeptus Custodes range, where players could field female Custodes in tabletop battles for the first time.

⚡️Abilities: Female Custodes in Warhammer 40K share the same abilities as their male counterparts, being genetically enhanced warriors with superhuman strength, speed, and resilience. They are expert combatants, wielding weapons like the Guardian Spear and Sisters' Sword with unmatched skill. With superior physical traits, including enhanced senses and rapid healing, they are nearly invulnerable. Their primary role is to protect the Emperor, and they also possess the Aura of the Emperor, a sense of purpose that strengthens their combat abilities and leadership.

👑 Roles:
Protectors of the Emperor: Defending the Emperor and the Imperial Palace.
Elite Bodyguards: Guarding high-ranking figures in the Imperium.
Wardens: Patrolling and protecting key areas within the Imperial Palace.
Leaders in Combat: Leading Custodes squads and units in battle.
Sisters of Silence: Some may work alongside the Sisters of Silence to suppress psychic threats.
Warrior-Saints: Regarded as extraordinary warriors, some achieve a saint-like status.
