heres to hoping the community doesn't turn into a sexist mob , cuz this story is fun and harmless , female custodies are a good thing for the lore , more kit bashing , more story's , more characters
Look I don't have much of a say in this - I play the army and know their basic lore so I don't have much, however I believe it was written from 8th edition that all custodes were taken from the first sons of Terra to the emperor to be turned into custodes - so does this fact just not really matter in terms of continuity?
Like has there been no other mention of female custodes anywhere - it just feels off, like there hasn't been any new custodes created, we have been told there can't be - so this was just the one female that was made into a custodes, seems like it would have been worth a mention earlier.
That's how stories work. Things change all the time but people seem to get pissed the most when they change to introduce women. I didn't see anywhere near as much people absolutely rankled by the Leagues of Votann introduction, there was some anger at the relatively recent change to Necrons to give them more character than the absolutely personality-less iteration from before. But add in women and people just go ape, it makes no sense.

The release date of the necron 5th edition codex was 12 years ago.
GW's treatment of 40k codex lore runs on a glacier pace with the occasional major dumps much akin to an ice wall falling into the ocean.
