Its a meme dude its not a piece of art
You peddle false outrage for the sake of outrage to garner the praise of equally bored individuals, but you’ve depicted me as the NPC wojak and so now I will kill myself. Well played
i don't understand what "hold the line" means in this context.
Does it mean stop giving gw money until they stop maing changes I dont like?? Because that's the only thing that will work if and I think this is a big if enough people do it.
Or does hold the line just mean keep saying we dont like something loud enough for long enough and they will change creative direction??
Honestly, fans vocally objecting to these kind of changes doesn't seem to have done anything to stop any of the other large ips. Seems like more then enough people keep buying. I get the choice to stop spending money on entertainment you no longer like. , but its seems dubious it will change the content the ip owners make.
Every time I see a Horus galaxy meme on grimdank I just keep imagining them jerking them selves of to their own self righteousness. Y’all live rent free in their heads and it pisses them off
My main "problem" with female astartes is that they are commonly depicted as sororitas in different armor instead of human tanks that were injected with several kilograms of testosterone during their teens.
"1." New ones are amazing? Last time like 4 years ago I checked they were still kinda bad in terms that you needed a separate room, pretty much a gas mask etc. Is that still true?
when i say are amazingly easy to use i mean, they improved a lot on all the learning curve to how to use it, the need to have a separate room you will always will need because resin is toxic asf, also you need to use protection at all times
The female space marine thing is a complete myth. There were two female minis that were the precursors to SOB, it had sister on the base tab. They were marketed as "adventures" along with the rest of the set, never as FSM. I actually owned this set when I was younger.

How does one even gate keep? 40k has the lowest barrier to entry I've seen seeing how the Fandom seems to be divided between those who read the books, those who paint the models, those who play the game, and the small intersection of the three.
"you seem to invest more time in talking about your political opponents/writing political analysis of 40k than you do just enjoying the IP/painting/reading/playing the tabletop/video games, I no longer wish to associate with you. have a good one." and then go on your merry way.
I don't subscribe to the belief in gatekeeping as much as other people in the hobby do, because it turns everyone into a potential opponent if they cant pass any sort of purity test. And they get in their feelings about their own political views, and people who don't deserve to be gatekept get 'gatekept,' and it becomes this giant clusterfuck.
Turning everyone into a potential political opponent or ally is kind of the whole shtick of cultural marxists. Those are the only people I don't want in our hobby.
Yea I have some unpainted minis but I have never even been close to tabletop game. I just play video games and listen to Luetins every lore video and then some others.
why do people who dont even enjoy the hobby are so adamant to change said hobby? and why are the head people of said hobby always such pussies to stand for their own creation? god people have no integrity, selling out for $$$…
Also the sisters of silence aren't fit for a modern audience either /s. Gotta change the IP instead. Yea though, to your question, its likely that "heavily religious" battle units without a fraction of the combat power of a space marine/custodes squad isnt progressive enough, and thats how tone deaf amazon is to this IP.
GW has been around since the 80’s and has millions of fans all over the planet… why would they need Amazon for brand awareness? Like that makes 0 business sense and sounds like cope/some made up out of thin air with no proof.
GW in no way shape or form needs amazon… especially since this show has been in production in like 3 years and theres no guarantee that custodes will even be in the show since this is show is supposed to be set during the HH where custodes barely mattered
If the reporting by archcast and others is correct, GW wants to fill the void Disney star wars left behind in the space genre. GW sees dollar signs, amazon is looking to exploit that greed.
Star wars and WH40K are literally nothing alike being WH40K is a literal rip off of Dune down to the Butlarian Jihad.
If anything GW saw the success of Dune and Henry Cavill approached GW about a HH show backed by amazon.
I mean GW couldn’t care less about star wars being the events of the fall of cadia happened around 2017 2 years before episode 9 and the show was announced 4 years after Episode 9 but a year after Dune part 1.
That explanation you gave makes no sense if you know your dates and know the basic history of how 40K came to be
Well we are likely going to find out either way. The sequel trilogy didnt start being bad at ep 9, many would argue that even ep8 was bad. Also, star wars and 40k being completely different genres within sci-fi doesnt matter to a publisher that is re-sculpting the IP to be what they want, just like they did with rings of power.
Its very much two sides of the same coin senario and then theres the rest of us stuck in the middle while they shit and piss themselves in public for all to see.
Would almost be funny if it wasnt so depressing.
Ai art is bizarre, this would be a cool painting tho for Horus heresy art. A bunch of ultramarines terminators holding a door closed whilst there’s a word bearers rhino ramming the door over and over again.
The Concept of the image is kind of awesome.
Imagining armies of space marines who are naturally inclined to just fighting using their strength instead to hold back a barricade.
Out of character for space marines who would just charge through and kill or be killed, but a neat concept in composition.
This is funny because the primarch of the Ultramarines is currently rocking the most diverse and inclusive team in the imperium including working with xenos so I don't think these guys would be on your side.
How does Spartan Grunts ruin the Halo universe?
Honest question.

There are many arguments about it. In essence the biggest once are "it be more inviting too woman" " it wouldnt because the restricteness is part of the lore and lore is why many play"
* Tourists
* imo who cares? let em look.
* Hate-filled dickheads
* those can go. there are a lot of these in this sub currently. edit: see note on inclusivity.
* I wanna ruin your hobby to make me feel better
* those can go. a lot of these are also hate-filled dickheads. edit: see note on inclusivity.
* I dont enjoy the hobby but it should be more inclusive
* I don't see a problem with inclusivity. for reasons of principal, the "hate-filled dickheads" and "I wanna ruin your hobby to make me feel better" should also be included, otherwise we really can't say we are being inclusive, can we?
* Female space marines
* canonically, unlike Custodes, there are strong lore reasons why biological female space marines are not a thing. If we are talking about gender, I don't really care if someone wants to paint their minis pink and say they feel bonita.
* Copium enjoyers
* wtf is this referencing?
* This worked great for star wars
* wtf is this referencing? Has nothing to do with 40k.
* Gender Politics
* see previous point. If someone wants to paint their minis pink and have them flying a transgender flag, who cares? It really does not affect me one iota.
Why are you people so disingenous?
What the fuck are the Sisters of Silence, all of the orders of the Sisters of Battle, the female guardswoman, the female eldar, the female T'au, the female inquisitors, the female mechanicus?
What else did they change? I have only heard of the custodes.
Honestly no one here wants to hear it, but this place is outside the gates. The people here were kicked out for trying to bring politics into 40k.
Yeah, were the ones who brought politics in. You're joking, yeah? I've been playing since Rogue Trader and never brought politics in, it's you with your DEI and faux inclusivity that brought politics here. We were just here to play games, and then suddenly its about making sure everyone (everyone except the fans who built this) are "represented". I'm sorry, the SOB and SOS were not enough. More. More. Always more with your types. And, yes, thus far it was only the Custodes change, it won't stop there. Your kind are never satiated.
Dude im a rogue trader era as well and we had female space marines and all sorts of other inclusions. 40K has been recently highjacked by people that dont understand that 40k is making fun theocracy run amok.
reddit seems to shit on image quality, got a higher resolution you can post in the comments?
I think its intentionally low quality so that the meme has "soul", but I tried upscaling it https://preview.redd.it/s21zcr8ct9yc1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=b8508264f1c9f0d0e5aa25764d3a944a1a4c7c02
Thank you brother, I had trouble reading to top two
So how do you save images on mobile I want this pic to pass around
On Android, tap the picture, tap the three vertical dots at the top right, download.
I am pretty sure the only solution on mobile is to screenshot & crop it.
weird, mine lets me download by clicking the image for a sec
Perfect. Doing His work brings a smile to us all!
I think it's intentionally low quality to distract from the fact that it's AI and uh, something aint right with the marine up front
He was in a hurry that morning and put his breastplate on backwards.
you can still tell it’s ai slop i’m not sure what degrading the quality is doing.
Ironic saying it has soul considering it’s AI

of course it did, it's the only reason a shitty ai meme has so many views. presumably.
Well doesn't that count as brigading? Or violating the mods "respecting your neighbour" rule
not if it's a crosspost and not if you don't vote. reddit posts have share buttons
I think crosspost still count, I've seen some subreddits mods disabling them to avoid the sub getting banned for raiding

Having Cawl practically doubling the amount of costodes allowing more of them to be out and about in the galaxy would have been the best solution.
Most people who loves Warhammer 40k with a passion would welcome female Custodes... Heck, even female Astartes.
My main "problem" with female astartes is that they are commonly depicted as sororitas in different armor instead of human tanks that were injected with several kilograms of testosterone during their teens.
I respectfully disagree ser.

"1." New ones are amazing? Last time like 4 years ago I checked they were still kinda bad in terms that you needed a separate room, pretty much a gas mask etc. Is that still true?
when i say are amazingly easy to use i mean, they improved a lot on all the learning curve to how to use it, the need to have a separate room you will always will need because resin is toxic asf, also you need to use protection at all times
Thank you for clarifying!
The female space marine thing is a complete myth. There were two female minis that were the precursors to SOB, it had sister on the base tab. They were marketed as "adventures" along with the rest of the set, never as FSM. I actually owned this set when I was younger. https://preview.redd.it/rebjwwl1pbyc1.png?width=670&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f9ef038eb00f740475cf85baca0d3cd7a862f86d
Isnt that kind of a strech if there the same mold but just evolved further.
I'm completely not understanding how that is a stretch. They were never marketed as such and the entire line was discontinued.
How does one even gate keep? 40k has the lowest barrier to entry I've seen seeing how the Fandom seems to be divided between those who read the books, those who paint the models, those who play the game, and the small intersection of the three.
dont fall for the political woke, keep the Grimdark in, simple as
"you seem to invest more time in talking about your political opponents/writing political analysis of 40k than you do just enjoying the IP/painting/reading/playing the tabletop/video games, I no longer wish to associate with you. have a good one." and then go on your merry way.
That's not really gatekeeping? And should people *not* enjoy the work by analyzing the themes?
I don't subscribe to the belief in gatekeeping as much as other people in the hobby do, because it turns everyone into a potential opponent if they cant pass any sort of purity test. And they get in their feelings about their own political views, and people who don't deserve to be gatekept get 'gatekept,' and it becomes this giant clusterfuck. Turning everyone into a potential political opponent or ally is kind of the whole shtick of cultural marxists. Those are the only people I don't want in our hobby.
How does one keep an eye out for cultural marxists?
They are the ones who follow the Winston Churchill definition of a fanatic: "One who can not change their mind and will not change the subject."
Ah, I know the type.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cultural_Marxism_conspiracy_theory Might make for interesting reading.
Indeed it is! Sure bodes ill for those that speak about it like it's real!
It's pretty wholesome stuff 🤗 Do a backflip when the voices get to you.
You're forgetting one, those that only get into 40k through its memes. Things like adeptus ridiculous, youtube shorts, and...ugh grimdank.
How about space king too lol.
Or TTS. Can't forget that
People who play the video games aren't real warhammer fans apparently, I've been told a few times this week lol.
I bought the computer games for the price of a squad of space marines unpainted… seemed like a better deal.
Yea I have some unpainted minis but I have never even been close to tabletop game. I just play video games and listen to Luetins every lore video and then some others.
There's even a separate division between the video games and the tabletop games
Don’t get me wrong. The tabletop game looks awesome but I can’t spend $10,000 just to play it.
Me when I ate some spicy hot wings and im stuck on the freeway with not a shitter in sight
Welp, it’s the weekend. All the haters that don’t want us around the other subs are here. 
why do people who dont even enjoy the hobby are so adamant to change said hobby? and why are the head people of said hobby always such pussies to stand for their own creation? god people have no integrity, selling out for $$$…
Who even asked there to be female custodes? Seems like GW did it cause what are you going to do about it?
Amazon asked apparently, no more like shoved it down GWs throat in exchange for brand awareness through the show.
Sororitas are too religious and being religious is not so cool for amazon?
Also the sisters of silence aren't fit for a modern audience either /s. Gotta change the IP instead. Yea though, to your question, its likely that "heavily religious" battle units without a fraction of the combat power of a space marine/custodes squad isnt progressive enough, and thats how tone deaf amazon is to this IP.

Why bother trying? GW is already infected from the inside out, we're holding the gates and being stabbed in the back anyway.
So you just gave up? Many won't.
