So I'm really excited for the Lelith book, but whyyyyyy are her boobs coming out of her clavicles?

There’s a dumbass 4chan thing being shared in groups I’m in where Amazon is supposedly forcing GW to make female custodes bc they want them in the show and HC might walk and ruin GW’s stock and other stupid shit. I know it’s dumb but it’s triggering my anxiety really badly and I can’t get the thought out of my head, especially because these groups are normally a space I feel safe in but there’s been one or two idiots ever since the announcement that has been toxic and it’s hard to enjoy 40k now

I understand, and I'm sorry. I wish these people could be reasoned with, but they cant, because they dont really care about Warhammer, they care about “the issue”. Pointing out things like “the authors of Black Library has fought for this for years” is like water on a duck.

The thing I usually do when I come across those people is try to not engage (difficult, I know, and I fail a lot of times), log off social media for a moment, and go to my local Warhammer store (the offical ones are the best at this).

Seeing the energy from people actually playing the game is so diffrent and sobering. I made a roadtrip across yourube last summer and made a point to visit every GW store along the way, and every single one had happy, excited staff and customers. And it always fills me with that hope and joy again.

I dont do Reddit that much, because its home to some chronically online people that just manages to bait me every time. I like Tumblr the most because its is 99% people to share their hobby experiences (and two angry guys screaming into a bucket).

That being said, the show might be cancelled, it might suck, but Warhammer will survive. It's not like it hasn't had shitty shows before. My favourite one is that Ultramarine movie, which is so bad that it becomes good again.

But you are also right, I have been giving these idiots too much of a platform they dont usually have. And I will be returning to my regular content again, which is geeking out about Ultramarines, Iron Warriors, Emperors Children, Nightlords, or some other flavour of the week (right now Aeldari,)I have been putting off building for a while since my hobby space is a bit messy, but I will clean it up and post more lovely pictures of mini butts.

This will blow over, it always does.

i cant believe trigger made this happen

Really loving the way the this is lined and colored after so much experimenting with different styles

I always find it very funny when certain 40k-fans call people in the hobby they disagree with „Tourists“. On the one hand, pretty often the person they try to insult has been like longer in the hobby than I have been alive, has multiple armies, goes to actually play the game and has read dozens if not hundreds of books. On the other hand, at least to me, it barely even registers as a insult. Because like beeing a tourist and going on vacation is fun! I love travelling around to diffrent places! I honestly prefer beeing a tourist and having a nice, long vacation than living in a place I apparently hate and want to leave with every retcon I dislike.

Also like, tourists are good for the economy!

I like the idea that Genestealers have trouble infiltrating Orkz not because Orkz would think there’s something wrong with Orkz that suddenly show up with six arms but because Orkz would think there’s something wrong with how those Orkz would prefer to be sneaky and hide. Six arms is fine because that means more arms to do choppa and dakka but hiding? That’s not Orky

It always warms my heart when someone remembers this.

My only point in the female custodies thing

Why don't those who want this thing make their own IP ?

or do you need to be parasites on something successful because you don't want the actual fans to enjoy their stuff without your politics in it.

If the policy is throwing the drunks out of the pub, I am going to keep the door open for them.

Here is the thing. The kind of people that complains about this? Never met one in the flesh. While going almost weekly for 20 years to the biggest GW store in my country and 7th in Europe, recently upgraded to directly sell merchandise. What do I met there? People that likes and buys models, and jokes about how silly but entertaining the lore is. They are the real fans. They are the real audience. Normal people. Not screechers on the web.

once again girl fight

GW designers made interesting decisions imo Ah yes, skitarii - supersoldiers without fear or excess emotions, perfectly obedient murder machines. Lets give them the biggest saddest wettest eyes in existence, adorable little coats and childish backpacks. Our fiercest warriors. Killing enemies by cuteness overload lmao NOT complaining. It makes 40k better.

You know a writer has hit the mark with their character when the community is already figuring out how to include Kesh in their favourite fanfiction.

HADES II ↳ Hecate — Ἑκατη, "The Far-reaching One"

I have always been on the fence about Female Space Marines, and that is mostly because I'm not happy with my own assigned gender (and the fact I like submissive men and dominant women and space marines are extremely sub almost all of them, fight me about it)

But like, seeing the outrage over female Custodes. I'm urging, no begging, GW to release them.

I want every crying, “lore expert” who never read a single book, but just binged some loretuber who read straight off a wiki that never held canon info in the first place, (man im heavily dyslexic and I have no spare time to speak off, but even I at least get the audiobooks), I want these dudes to just burn their armies in rage. (and leave the hobby, dont forgett that very important part)

“Dont make Warhammer political”, get the fuck out of here. 40k was created by a bunch of nerds so angry at Margaret Thatcher they created a satire so heavily influenced by Monthy Python that I'm convinced John Cleese got paid off in cool minis to keep him from suing them.

Warhammer didnt go woke, it was always made by the left. We look at the older stuff and forget that it was created in a different(worse) time, and they have consistently tried to do better.

Look at old Forum posts about Graham McNeill. “Wäääh, why is he always writing about women, communist cuck McNeill” (not those exact words but general sentiment)

Like, I give McNeill so much shit today for how all women he writes about face horrible fates (but to be fair, what men doesn't have a terrible fate too). But I have even forgotten that some of this stuff is about 25 years old.

Seeing Warhammers official page block people who acts out in the comments about this, seeing them double down on the fact thar Custodes can have any gender. Seeing authors of the franchise, new and old back all of this. Im feeling Vindicated.

Gods, I wish this is the last straw for the alt-rights too stupid to realise they are being satirized.
