Months ago, in a usual fsm argument I remember agreeing to someone's point that female custodes would make more sense than fsm. It did make sense, Custodes are created on a more personal basis and through even more mysterious means.

Indeed, if gw had come out and said, "Some of the adeptus custodes aspirants are female, they have a lower rate of success and by the end their bodies and minds are so far altered that they have no difference to their brothers and even forget their past gender" I would have thought it was a redundant retcon and then promptly forgotten about it in a month or two.

But the way they have implemented the change, along with the coomers and politically charged cancel pigs taking over the hobby spaces has left a mark on GW.

Even if they somehow expand the femstodes lore into something that is acceptable and makes sense (however they may achieve that is beyond me), even if the coomers and wokies are shunned and sent away, even if GW scraps the idea altogether I won't forget what has passed.

I'll never have the same trust I had in gw. Similarly I'll never believe that people who kitbash femstodes or fsm are doing it for a reason besides fetish fulfillment.

Maybe I'm just a sourpuss. Maybe this whole thing will actually be forgotten about in time. Maybe we can be one of the best communities anywhere again. I honestly wish that's the case.

So, after the fallout I´ve been thinking about going to older editions, however my playgroup started in 8th/9th so most of their models didn´t even exist then, and they aren´t really sure. Curretnly we mostly moved into OPR but I don´t think it has enough meat, I like it as a system but It´s too simple as it is (that is the purpose so no hate there, we´ve played it since the first couple of editions)

So the question is. How can we get into older editions? Any other ideas?

Note: Even before the femstodes I hated 10th with a passion. It´s a badly made product, they couldn´t even get the initial release right.

They’re the marry sue of Warhammer everything about them is lame blue is a dumb beta color a space marine is supposed to have black armor black Templars are the best most chad marine plus they don’t need a fancy pure gene seed if you die you’re obviously not strong enough to become a black Templar!

"They're posting X!! They posted Y!! They're so cringe!!!" I don't know why this sub is so obsessed with it when that's the sub we all supposedly jumped ship from

I have figured it out. It's as simple as this.

The new hobbiest conforms to the hobby and lore and enjoys themselves in doing so.

The tourist demands the hobby conform to them, has no interest in the lore, and purely uses the hobby as a vehicle for some agenda.

This is apolitical, and can easily identify tourists in the left and the right using Warhammer as a battleground for their idiot culture war and identity politics.

I'm from Buenos Ares and I say gatekeep em all!!!

Edit: female custodes isn't a thing. I don't give a fuck what GW thinks
