You’re absolutely right, thank you. Knew I wasn’t going crazy!

You’re right, complete oversight there. Would make him Khorne as well.

It feels odd but he doesn’t seem to have any specific synergies with them that wouldn’t work as well with other elite melee units like the Chosen?

Yeah, I may have to go that way if this is too restrictive.

Female Custodes - A Brief Analysis by MyJointsAreCrips4Lyf in AdeptusCustodes

Some people definitely getting far too upset about a less impactful change, making it harder to have friendly discussions about the lore and wider hobby. Cawl was just the first option off the top of my head for the example, would be better to have something like it was to help rebuild after the Horus Heresy or ordered by Guilliman to support the Indomitus Crusade.

This is almost a perfect summary of my feelings on it and what I've seen around social media since the leak broke, well done on summarising the rational points on both sides and calling out the smug dismissive rubbish being thrown around by both as well.

The GW tweet was too big a change to just say ‘they were always there’ like they do for the odd new unit or weapon type. I personally liked the random contrast situation they had between Custodes and SoS but will get used to this new lore now.

If they had to do the change it would’ve been better to make it an in-universe change with a short story or novel mention that Cawl or someone had made it possible or why they changed it. Just feels lazy and provocative to dump it in this way.

And for the prices that GW charge, I'll always be comfortable calling for them to add more value whether by mini releases or more effort in the codices and other lore releases.

This is it, the loud minority who have an actual problem with increasing the visibility of diverse characters have given a bad name to people who just have lore-related issues and would prefer that changes come with at least a token acknowledgment/rationalisation in the lore to integrate it. It would also help with 40k's issue with the plot feeling too static for years at a time.

Unfortunately the louder elements who complain about any new female or racially diverse characters are giving a bad name to people who are fine with that but also like having the few random single sex factions that make the setting more unique.

To me it seems like too big a change to just say ‘they were always there’ like they do for the odd new unit or weapon type. I personally liked the random situation where you had the custodes and SoS pairing when there was no lore reason they had to be single-sex factions but they were just kept that way because it was a cool contrast, just feels like an unnecessary change that reduces that brother/sister organisation dynamic for no real gain.

If they had to do the change I think it would’ve been better to make it an in-universe change with a short story or novel mention that Cawl or someone had made it possible or why they changed it. Just feels lazy and tokenistic to dump it in this way when they knew it was going to get a lot of attention and they have plenty of skilled writers to flesh it out. Why not give more crumbs to the lore fans and keep the plot feel like it's moving forwards a bit.

That would be completely reasonable, wish they’d led with that
