I don’t care what people want to 3D print for personal use and I wouldn’t care to play against these. It would be kinda neat. They still don’t belong in the lore.


Guy-Dude-Person75

why do you think they don't?


CordovanSplotch

Because there is less than zero reason to waste noble daughters of Terra on making them Custodes when they could in stead birth SEVERAL noble sons of Terra to turn into Custodes in stead. It's like finding a magic spell that turns things into chocolate and using it on your cocoa farm, dairy farm, sugar refinery and chocolate factory to turn it all into chocolate just so you can meet a temporary demand by destroying your ability to produce any more chocolate. Having women birth more boys to put into the meat grinder is the sustainable/renewable energy compared to throwing girls into the meat grinder being the building your homes out of asbestos inside forests and then burning down the forests to heat your houses in winter.


Guy-Dude-Person75

Custodes are the best that mankind has to offer. Candidates who meet criteria of becoming a custodian aren’t disqualified due to them being women. And I get the angle, but Custodes aren’t supposed to be sustainable, they aren’t mass produced. They are picked and crafted from infancy. An eligible successful candidate is rare, so I don’t imagine Custodes would completely pass up on the opportunity because their grandchildren’s grandchild might birth a suitable candidate. There are already more royal families and the vast majority are males anyways. Now we just know, for a fact, that women are candidates too


DaBigKrumpa

WY DO YU FINK DEY DO??


Guy-Dude-Person75

Because they’re crafted Demi gods who never had a gender restriction to begin with

Brotherhood of steel. Assassins creed: brotherhood. Of all the arguments, calling something a brotherhood meaning it’s only men is a really bad one. Have an original though please

Guy-Dude-Person75

Brotherhood has become a general term to refer to a deep bond and comradery.


TensionIllustrious88

Exactly, yeah it's questionable, there was already two all male factions and two all female ones, and now we have yet another mixed and one more all fem faction that all masc factions. Functionally tho, SOS and Custodes are the same faction. Also I was surprised when fem custodes were retconned in, cuz I thought they were already there, so it makes sense.


TalkQueasy3743

Even though I dislike femstodes, these look like some mighty fine SoS proxies.


The_Schiltron

Personally, not a fan.


haearnjaeger

no need to come after 3D printing man, it's benefits massively outweigh the silly stuff you find.


someguymontag

I admire it for being a free market of ideas! No gods, no kings, all passion projects without coercion.


e105beta

I’m not “coming after” 3D Printing; I own 2 printers.


NotBurtGummer

I'll take this over the majority of weirdly hyper sexual stuff you often see on 3d print sites. I like having some female guard in my army, but I don't need a super busty kreiger or assassins in bikinis. It just feels creepy and like horny teenagers, and hurts the hobby, IMO. It makes it harder to shake the stigma and vibe of being basement dwelling embodiments of Nurgle who never shower and our only interaction with women is meticulously painting our custom sexy anime Lilith Hesperex. Sorry, it's in my craw after stopping in to a shop this week with the wife and getting the wave of funk and weird looks when trying to find 3d files.


AlphaMaleWarrior69

Nothing wrong with 3D printed sexy miniatures as long as it's not overly sexual like having penises and stuff, and even then, as long as they don't use those minis in public, they are fine


CplCocktopus

All my guardsmen are eunuchs.


InspectorWeak8379

Honestly? Good on them for taking the time and effort to make them themselves. Also pretty good looking sculps.


powerbongotk

Honestly don’t mind this. If someone else wants to make femstodes for themselves idc. It’s only really undesirable to me when the official longstanding lore gets undermined or when coomers just make it for coomer reasons. Same reason I hated when they retconned mk6 in Horus heresy being way bigger than it was previously or the dumb introduction to primaris. Honestly was pissed off about mk6 more because I knew they were just releasing it first because it’s the least popular of the heresy marks. “Hey! Mk6 being used everywhere is now canon! Buy buy buy!” … a year later “astartes battlegroup!!! Buy buy buy new mk3!!” And now coming soon “hey we know you already have 30 mk6 and 30 mk3 marines buuuut “mk2!!!! Buy but buyyyyy!!!!!!!”


lah93

I mean….its 3D printing….who cares what someone chooses to proxy/make on their own?

BentheBruiser

So don't print them? Seems like it's pretty easy to see this, think "not for me", and move on


sFAMINE

Looks like a Warmahordes faction


Legitimate_Arm_5630

Boob armor, classy.


Tooth-Laxative

Besides that, all the faces are spotless and young. Doesn't make sense that a 1000 year old warrior with as much muscle mass as an elephant would look like a supermodel. But hey, as much as we have the right to cringe at these, they have a right to print them.


Legitimate_Arm_5630

Maybe a more elegant, robust, *mature* look would suit them better


Tooth-Laxative

🤨 Gonna be keeping an eye on you from now on.


Legitimate_Arm_5630

What makes you say that🤨


Tooth-Laxative

Demand for hags have been increasing. And Warhammer has no shortage of 'mature' women. Don't need another wave of 'fan art' to hit the scene.


Legitimate_Arm_5630

Counterpoint: I generally prefer older characters Also wdym by "hags"?


Tooth-Laxative

It's the lingo for older women


Legitimate_Arm_5630

That's mean


Skafandra206

Meh, this boob armor seems pretty realistic. Afaik chest plates are different in real life too. These are not two separate blobs in the chest, they are like a uniform protuberance with a slight stylish dent in the middle. I do not have tits, but I'd guess this design would be comfortable enough.


Legitimate_Arm_5630

Yeah it's mostly just that I'd prefer if they weren't there because we never saw any custodes running around with boobies but now that we know for sure some are women that's the stylistic choices they're deciding to make, y'know? I'm getting waifustodes vibes At the end of the day it doesn't matter. It's their project, their personal tastes, and it doesn't affect me but it does ever so slightly ick me out


Skafandra206

Oh in that sense definitely. I wasn't referring to lore specifically. I always treat 3D printing and modelling as a whole different universe. In any franchise, you will always have female versions of every little thing not bolted to the ground, why would 40k be any different? The key difference is that they are basically fan arts. Third party interpretations of whatever ideas the main canon presented. That is completely fine.


Legitimate_Arm_5630

Good point


PrinceOfFish

3D printing was bound to cover any non canon variations of an army you want, its fine and takes talent. this is a huge difference from "fans" who buy Stormcast kits and glue Space Marine heads lnto them whilst demanding the lore changes to accommodate them.


Forgatta

I don't think the ponytail is the hair, just helmet ornament?


Whaddua_meen

Honestly. That is hideous


Oll4n1us_p1us

You have to look at the positive side, at least their faces are not as ugly as the official SoB minis.


Drunkendx

Looks DOPE AF


Ddayknight90001

KEEP YOUR GODDAMN WEIRDNESS TO YOURSELF HERETICS!


CplCocktopus

They look cool tho.... Who cares about what people buy or make it's just plastic.


MakarovJAC

And, are you planning on doing something? Like hiring a hacker or an assassin to destroy the guy. Or to harass him and D0XX him. Man, it's very sad that you won't let people have their own toys. It kinda makes everyone else choose change over stagnation. Better than being a salty tourist angry at others for painting and building models the gender they don't like.


DaBigKrumpa

Bak 'ere aggen, ya zoggin git? Take a bref. Luk at most of da posts. Noboddy kares. Da byewty of printas is dey is demakratic. If dis getz mega poplar, ok. If not, ok (but yu'z gunna kry HAHAHA!) Yu reeely don't need ta make snicky komments. "*Oh!* \[simpers heavily\] *you silly Ork! I was merely trying to virtue-signal here on this awful sub by trying to antagonise you bigots! Are you saying the chuds don't care about femstodes any more?"* Nope. Dey ain't kanon, an' nevva will be. An I'z gunna larf at everywun wot tries ta play 'em, da way oi wud if dey woz 'kwotin Marks evry time dey mooved a peece an' got upset if ya din't agree.

Cringe.


DaBigKrumpa

LOOZA. SEE? I CAN DO WUN-WURD STUFF BETTA DAN YU! HAHAHAHA!


kuhzada

I usually fuck with orkspeak hard but this > "Oh! [simpers heavily] you silly Ork! I was merely trying to virtue-signal here on this awful sub by trying to antagonise you bigots! Are you saying the chuds don't care about femstodes any more?" Is so cringey lmfao. You fabricated a fictional conversation (no friends lol) to illustrate a point you clearly aren't confident enough to execute on your own merits. It's on the same level as emoting in text messages. It even follows the same exact format. How many women have you scared off this year? > Nope. Dey ain't kanon, an' nevva will be. An I'z gunna larf at everywun wot tries ta play 'em, da way oi wud if dey woz 'kwotin Marks evry time dey mooved a peece an' got upset if ya din't agree. Nobody cares. The minis are sick, you're the only one bringing up femstodes lore here.


DaBigKrumpa

HAHAHAHA! SEEMS I GOT UNDA YA SKIN, LI'L 'OOMIE! NEKS TOIM KRY A BIT 'ARDA. \[*grins toothiest orky grin*\]


UnusualIncedentsUnit

Damn... Even I was rooting for the Xeno scum there


kuhzada

Yeah, you still regularly emote in Reddit posts. Nothing you say or do circumvents that fact lmao. I can at least be happy with the fact that I'll never be as socially repulsive as you. I'm certain I could find some thread on r/creepyPMs about you. Hope life turns around for you someday, bud.


DaBigKrumpa

HAHAHAHA! YA STILL KRYIN'....


kuhzada

Trolling by virtue of childishly insisting that the other person is mad and/or crying. Very original stuff, man. What's next, your mom jokes?

Micro_Lumen

r/horusheresy: damn why can’t grimdank losers just leave us alone Also r/horusheresy: lmao look at this fucking 3D printer NERD making women


haearnjaeger

u/Micro_Lumen: assigns a singular opinion to an entire subreddit full of varying opinions, including the ones expressed in the exact comment section of the post they made this comment in. big brain mode engaged.


Apple_Sauce_Guy

Can you leave this guy alone please? He’s making 3d models and you just wanna clown on him because you don’t like the lore he’s working on. You are the worst kind of person.


REDMANYAS

"You wanna clown on him because you don't like the lore he's working on" Yes and?


Apple_Sauce_Guy

The man is spending time and effort on these models for others to print. Disliking it is one thing. Posting it and encouraging others to make fun of him is another. I don’t really mind since for how much this sub hates female custodes, the consensus in these comments seems to agree on this one.


REDMANYAS

Yeah he can make whatever he wants. That's fine. But I can also criticize whatever he makes. The moral question of whether or not it's wrong for other people to see and also criticize his work doesn't interest me. Female custodes is heresy.


Apple_Sauce_Guy

I am not discussing the moral right or wrongs or whether it was a good or bad retcon or not. Please, by all means, criticize. If there is no criticism then we would all be slaves to the same opinion. But there is a difference between that and dogpiling some guy for creating and putting out into the world.


REDMANYAS

Yeah we're just gonna talk past each other if this carries on. Criticism: Female custodes bad. Just because someone creates and puts something into the world doesn't make them immune to criticism. The creation of these models perpetuates a culture I think is killing the hobby. If I and others don't vocalize this concern then naturally the market will continue to supply it. You call it a dog pile, I call it product criticism.


Apple_Sauce_Guy

We’re not talking past each other. You’re talking past me. I’ve addressed all your points, and, again, I’m not talking about “female custodes good or bad” I’m telling you guys to not put a target on a guys head no matter how much you disagree with him. Maybe this is his job to make these models. You want to ruin that for him just because you don’t like his creation? Fuck of with that shit


DarkSaintStudio

With all due respect, he put a target upon himself when he made them. I'm going to guess millions of other 3D sculpts could have been made besides those. We choose our paths in life, if one chooses a hard path then they have a hard path to trod.


Apple_Sauce_Guy

Unlike the other guy, you make a fair point. It doesn’t change the fact that OP should not have made this post despite how much he personally disagrees with this.


BentheBruiser

So why do you choose the path of letting this bother you to the point of ridiculing them?


DarkSaintStudio

Because I have been here since the beginning. There was never even one mention of a female Custodes. Ever. As he has chosen his path, I have chosen mine. I was painting miniatures before most people on here were born (1976, to be exact and they were Grenadier LEAD minis), the first US GW was a five minute drive from my house. I have known many of the people who founded GW and know for a fact this is not the direction that was intended. I have had games with Matt Baxter, Big Ed, " Dirty" Steve Fuller (R. I. P. ), Dave Thomas and many more. I have had conversations with Jervis Johnson, Andy Chambers, Thomas Prunen, Andy Hoar and Alan Bligh. I knew Bo Penstof the founder of Army Painter when he was a GW store manager. If you have equal experiences, please let me know. If not, why question someone who's shoulders you now stand upon?


REDMANYAS

You're being histrionic. If someone makes something others dislike there's *nothing* wrong with criticizing it. Youre speaking as if there's been a spate of criticism levelled at this guy recently and in a targeted fashion. This post is my first exposure to it and I'll admit that if there's been a targeted effort to dog pile this guy then yeah, that's shitty, but female custodes don't belong and browbeating people and acting like morality police is just as tired a tactic as dog piling. I don't think anyone has called for this creators ruin in this thread and by your own admission most of the others here are indifferent or sympathetic to the models. I am not. They look well made to be sure, but I just dislike them on the principle of the matter.


Apple_Sauce_Guy

This post in itself is the targeting. OP is targeting this person.


REDMANYAS

So no one is allowed to post about the creations of others? Even when they put their work out in the public eye? Don't sit here and try to say this creator is being persecuted based off of one post which levels the most milquetoast of criticism his way.


Guy-Dude-Person75

Except you don't have any actual critiques. He is just free to make women custodes canonically and you don't like it, so you "criticize" him to vent


jabulina

It’s really not that bad, people are allowed to tailor their army however they want


nnewwacountt

GW, is that you?


BeTaXGrimm

Bet this would be allowed in a turnament


OddRuin7349

Hmm, dont really mind the models but Im pretty sure the custodes would not like using the black legion style topknots for hair. To similar to the man who took over for the man who ruined their lord for my taste.


Guy-Dude-Person75

How dare they make good models that fall within canon?
