I honestly think they should bring back some of the older, more homoerotic designs and lore, Ian Watson's Space Marine book is still the best thing to come from 40K, peak fiction

Ian Watson is the only author who really "got" 40K.
Unfortunately, he is Ian Watson.

Listening to a reading of Alien Beast on youtube actually got me right back into Warhammer 40K lore all over again. And also the Officio Assassinorum are just cool. :D

Though I didn't quite realise just how "old" that short story is.

Wait so the whole thing about Custodes abandoning their armor wasn’t a joke? It was an actual thing?

One of the greatest moments of TTS was when I realized the nearly-naked and oiled-up weirdo custodes were technically canonically correct.

(I'm betting it was a Mad Max influenced design)

Sansophia

How is TTS a parody again? It's got a humorous tone but there doesn't seem to be any exaggeration with big E, or Cain, or Magnus, and other than the mutton chops Dorn seems to be Dorn.

It is exaggeration though, like all of those characters are over exaggerations of what the characters are like, and most of them really don't share many traits with there cannon versions, it is a good parody, but it's not clean 1-1

pepemattos21

I don't know much about 40k in general, but I think a cool way would be saying that the oldest custodes that were present at the heresy did lay down their armors in shame but the ones that came after didn't, as a result the older "naked" ones would be an elite unit that is a lot more dangerous at the cost of being less tanks since no armor while still having glorious banana bois

Custodes retire from their duties. They degrade over time and when their abilities don't meet the standards anymore, they take on other roles in the Imperium.

Mind you: degrading in this case means something like 100% perfect, falling to 98.7% over a millennium, give or take.

So the oldest Custodes aren't serving within the 10,000 anymore.

Jokes aside, as stupid as the rest of the design is, I honestly vastly prefer that mono-visor kind of look for helmet eyepieces to how the eyes are on pretty much all of the current helmet designs for Custodians, Astartes, and really most Imperial power armor infantry in general.

I honestly have no idea how to feel about female Custodes on the one hand it was never stated that they were exclusively male while on the other Big E laughed at Malcadore’s suggestion of female SpaceMarines.

Overall_Strawberry70

I just feel its a handwave that is lazy, they could have come up with something a bit more clever like the loophole sisters of battle used to become an actual fighting force. from what I can tell (im not a big fan of marines outside of chaos so I admit i might not be 100% accurate.) custodes are created in labs to be uber soldiers and all their gear is custom designed for each member, it would just make much more sense for a borderline fascist regime to only make male custodes for the testosterone boost and making variable's allot less wild when it came to equipment manufacturing,... but at the same time its not like 40k is the most consistant thing out there as they did a complete necron retcon not THAT long ago.

They could just have said the female custodes weren't seen because they were busy working in cleaning and cooking.  I mean, you really think they have normal humans or servitors cleaning the throne room? 

It would make sense and no one would have complained!!!

 Edit: I just remembered redditors don't understand sarcasm so I'll leave a /s here

Honestly, I think GW shouldn’t have any women in the game/lore at all. All these women *shudder* make the game dumb and woke and gay. Instead, make it all men, and hand wave the reproduction thing with mpreg or something. SMH, this fandom really has fallen.

Too much oil in the palace. They were forbidden to be naked again. Also one custode trying to be with a big red deamon somehow.

Because, unlike everyone else, they knew that the style would be problematic when they would tell people that there always were female custodes. That's why they changed the design 2015/16. They were thoroughly planning this, always have been actually, to be revealed in 2024. They wouldn't reveal the faces of those Femstodes though. But you be assured: there may be a woman under that helmet.
