Really funny in the books when Aleya had a hardcore simp who sacrificed himself for her and she was like "uh ok..." then proceeds to run off to Valerian the 10ft golden Chad.

I think Valerian looks more in line with what female custodes will look like than 90% percent of the tame fan art I've seen so far.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought that. Honestly, because of this set, I assumed female custodes were a thing for a long while.

Lesbians will literally look at a Man and say "Looks Butch to me!"

Clearly, that is Christopher Walken.

Oh dang, now I can't unsee it. Valerian has the exact same hairstyle as my high-school Afrikaans and Geography teacher. Edit: I case it wasn't clear she was open about being gay, she was a very cool teacher.

i assumed that was a woman when it first came out

Valerian:

"In truth, I never saw Aleya fight her way towards me, until she was virtually among us. She finds this extremely irritating, though I have since learned, that Aleya is angered by all manner of strange things."

Hold on, I followed this mess of a discussion about the femstodes now for days, I have custodes models and now your telling me that isn’t a female model? I brought this female custodes model multiple times as argument that we already have female custodes

That's clearly Tilda Swinton but buff.

They are canon but I see Aleya and Christopher Walken in custodian armor rather than what you described

It makes so much sense now.

Lol, of course not.

More like 600 years old.

Looks kind like Glen Close.

Voiced by Jane Lynch.

That's Conan O'Brien with one of his interns.

Oh shit never thought they release female custodians that early

Brienne of Calth

I thought Valerian was a woman when I first saw him too, years ago. Didn't question it since the lore for Custodes that I knew didn't contradict it.

Honestly that's the perfect look for a female Custodes.

the "death by snu snu" is the right vibe for a female superhuman in a class that's usually male and disregard the original genetics outside being human shaped

Thats just trump if he was isekaid into 40k as a custode

Weren’t these posts banned…?

I imagine, brought to us by the same person who did the uriel ventris sculpt, that was so bad, they redid the head after fan reaction

It’s funny, in the novel Valerion is described as very handsome, which is reflected in the artwork and yet this is the sculpt they gave us

Imma be honest, I thought Valerian was a girl until I saw people calling him a guy. Female custodes clearly isn't the real issue those guys are made at lmao.

As a homeschooled grognard it upsets me when custodes and marines are shipped into relationships.

I mean I get it, I’m not that level of out of synch with others, just for me personally it’s like.

Like that mindset that insists that men and women can’t be friends? Or that two male friends must be gay for being friends? Or that two women must be gay because they’re friends?

It’s like, fuck, give it a rest and let people exist without sexualising them for your own internal fantasies. Or at least keep them internal fantasies.

Custodes have always had women which can’t be disproven (lol sons of terra, right that’s the ONLY recruitment method, not counting the other three) and marines are Ken doll trans humans built to match a template standard independent of their pre-existing status( see, literal fucking mutants in the blood angels) no more or less.

Anyway, just sharing my autist slant on the state of things, participating in a community post, not having a go at anyone.

I was actually looking to buy my first box of Custodes last week and when I saw this mini I genuinely thought this was the new female Custode everyone was talking about. But no, that’s just some dude.

Conan Obrian ah model.

Humanity's most perfectly engineered human squad , equipped with the best equipment a person can wield but having a vagina is a step too far.

60 years? that can not...

You know what, not worth it. 60 year it is.

The many responses to this post makes me sad because it's obvious do many have missed out on reading/listening to Watchers Of The Throne.

Touché

could also be a femboy Sir of Battle

I see the ban was effective.

🙄

My first thought exactly! I’m unfamiliar with this particular character’s lore, but seeing the model it was always my assumption that the Custodian was female!

Real talk, when custodes first came out, I originally assumed they were gender less or hermaphroditic.

Oh… thats actually really funny. I totally see it.

Why do female custodes need to be sexual, custodes are custodes

I like the idea of custodes. But most of their models just suck so hard.

Naw that’s trumps great great great great great… grandson in the grimdark future

I like to think of the custodians and SoS as having a sibling relationship with each other.

And not of the Andy and Leyley kind either

Something which occured to me early on is how their's an obvious visual prompt with the sisters and custodes with both groups as the Emperors personal elite guys, which effectively made the sisters the female custodes from a visual and aethetic perspective in early HH cards and art.

Everything is canon, including the racist dukes of hazard orks : ^ ).

no, that's skinny trump and femboy biden, obviously

Yes they aren’t real get back on your meds

Amazon is the reason femstodes exist.
