Because just like Legion rules for CSM years ago, GW has demonstrated that they know what the players want, offer it at the end of the edition, and then...poof. Gone.

Wow, that would be awesome.

It's actually tragic to me such a cool concept, calling back to the glory days of the hobby, will be erased when the new edition drops. GW, you need to get back to this as the CORE of the hobby.

I like the rules for creating our own heros. Pity it's typical end of edition stuff like all the times they pulled the rug out from Chaos players.

WOW.

Another attempt, and I still don't like either the concept, or execution. Sigh...

Huge, that model is a winner for sure.

Sure, but whales is generally a reference to buyers who pay more than their share. If it takes 5 teens to match my purchasing, I am the whale, not them.

If we not, GW has screwed up. I had multiple armies when the game was at its best. My small game group was almost all in our 30s, with the stability and income to burn on a luxury product. No teen can match what I could and did spend, and I doubt most parents paid for them to the degree my friends and I did in our 30s. Are teens walking around with FW Titans? Doubt.

As was insinuated in the other thread for some reason, that there is some kind of rage going on here, there isnt. I find it much closer to laughable. So we are all on board, its a retcon? OK then, my point is made, enjoy your new models.

I'm done with the discussion, if you all want to deceive yourselves thats fine. Brother Tyler said it better, and its the final word I need.

Obvious retcon, the text, art, novel text, and models all reinforced that it was a male faction. Nothing was ambiguous unless one had an ulterior motive, like wanting female Space Marines.

I don't know Vosttyans, I assume since the Guard are humanity, and any human can pick up a rifle, and the guard is millions of people with a very short time to live once battle is joined...anyone will do. Knights, I don't actually remember where I saw it, but my first read was that it was both men or women? Black books? Codex? I don't know. Regardless. You accept it said sons, and sons are male. I accept that the retcon happened, and now it's both sexes. No problem.

Are not the Krieg all cloned off of the same dude? :D No, because... The text, generated during the fleshing out of a near undefined (outside of some topless shots) faction, explicitly, clearly, and openly, stated that they are infant sons/generations of newborn sons. Sons, are male. The models were male, sons are male, men are male, and you have not a single thing to point to the existence of female custodes prior to the retcon. Which I accept is a thing btw, you dont have to fail to convince me further. You already won, you got female custodes as a retcon. Its all good for you. Hence, the retcon.

Nah, it would then say 'the men and women' not just men. Right, post retcon. Correct, as all the models were male, because the faction was male. Nope, and this is the failure of your position. It was not MOSTLY. It was EXCLUSIVELY. There was no room whatsoever to think that female custodes existed prior to the retcon. Zero.
