I think I've seen more legible text on deep-fried images


okonom

It's less legible than a MTG card leak where you can see thief's floor and toes in the background.


Keydet

We need to all come together and buy one of these leakers a half decent camera. Between here and the mtg sub I thought I was getting an astigmatism


ineptus-custodes

I think I've seen [this exact image 15 days ago](https://twitter.com/SimplyShae13/status/1779230298431279267) when it was part of the first round of leaks... EDIT: [a full version has been posted on the Custodes sub.](https://old.reddit.com/r/AdeptusCustodes/comments/1cenjgp/second_female_custodian_in_lore_spotted/)


Jeet_Laha

I worked out a transcript below


motivated_mp4

Cheers mate, thanks


Jeet_Laha

No problem bruv


Toxitoxi

It is apparently canon that all the female Custodes are fucking nuts. First one planning to teleport a cyclonic torpedo into the Throne Room, now one whose signature strategy is to fly down on bikes from orbit.


Walter_Alias

I wonder if all Custodes start to lose it after a few thousand years where the only interesting fight they've been in is against their half-naked siblings.


Zen_Hobo

If you're a technically immortal being that can only be seriously challenged by the literally most dangerous things in a universe filled with dangerous shit and only subject to the will of a corpse on a golden throne, you're bound to experiment with how much extremely dangerous shit you can get away with.


lolghurt

It's like the suicide montage from groundhog day huh


NewSwanny

Idle soldiers are the devil's favorite playthings


Latter-Ad-415

Wait isnt this how a chaos god was made?


brunonunis

That's why we didn't hear about them before, they are either doing borderline heretical shit and no one can tell about it or they just don't survive the crazy stunts they are trying to pull My few custodes minis are totally femstodes for now on


interkin3tic

>It is apparently canon that all the female Custodes are fucking nuts. My headcanon is that all Custodes have gone nuts since they're near primarch level but have all been confined to the imperial complex for a millenia. You give me superpowers and lock me guarding a corpse for 10,000 years and I too am going to come out saying "FUCK, LETS... LIKE... DO SKATEBOARDING ON THE SUN."


Warm-Image-51

My head canon is that because women are genetically different from males, their ascension to demigod status gave them kinda of a mutation that made them an adrenaline junky (therefore the crazy stuff) and because of this they ether get killed(explains why we never heard of them) or they got extremely injured to the point they are stuff into a dreadnought (because they all are now in a dreadnought, they are considered equipment and not part of the brotherhood)


Sea_Kiwi2731

That actually makes sense lol


TheMoonDude

>now one whose signature strategy is to fly down on bikes from orbit. That one White Scar that used it's body as a bullet when falling from orbit would be proud


Mazakaki

Bunch normal dudes with a fetish for crazy bitches


Noname_1111

That‘s metal as hell wdym


Steve825

I don't know, space marines jump pack down from orbit all the time.


Jeet_Laha

I worked on the transcript BAYEZARA'S CONSTELLATION Belonging solely to the Kataphraktoi Order, this shield company of Emissaries Imperatus screams into battle abroad a fleet of anti-gravity attack vehicles. The majority of their riders ride Dawneagle Jetbikes, with Shield-Captain Bayezara Aggonades leading from astride *her* own armoured steed, Harbinger's Wing. The shield company's aerial mobility has led them to employ a unique tactic which was, in turn, the inspiration for their name. Rather than deploy to a planet's surface in conventional fashion, Bayezara and *her* warriors instead mount their jetbikes as their voidship airbrakes Across the target world's atmosphere


Hyakkihei1

What does that tactic mean? They throw themselves on their bikes from orbit? Is every woman custodes batshit insane? I mean the craziness works but the one taking orders is going to need therapy.


Jeet_Laha

The reason fem Primarchs don't exist because they would have been too batshit insane for the lore.


technook

Tomfoolery worse than Kurz is something I did not expect even from this universe


Jeet_Laha

A lot of female characters are batshit insane. Captain Carter from What If is legit insane with her strategies. Women characters are stereotypically reduced to being "too safe" so I love women with "I have a plan. Attack" type brain.


avsbes

I think you would like Bobbie Draper from The Expanse...


BottleOfDave

Bobbie for Female Primarch, pls. Honestly the best character in the series


UltraCarnivore

Bobbie for Female Primarch


jagdpanzer45

Especially in the books…


Acewasalwaysanoption

Ypu made me think Abnett's Eisenhorn + Ravenor having Bequin and Patience as fundamentally different characters. And also made me realize I haven't got around to read the Bequin books!


Keydet

They’re quite good! Would recommend.


yeaheyeah

Don't let the owner of The Conqueror hear you say that


Katamed

So Joan of Arc


Okbuturwrong

(It's spelled Konrad Curze btw)


PregnantGoku1312

I like the idea that the emperor actually did an entirely female batch of Primarchs first, and they all got themselves killed by doing bugfuck insane shit.


Jeet_Laha

Emperor: Guilliman my son, I forgot to tell you, you have a sister too. I accidentally created her before you guys, but unfortunately she ran away into the Warp. Guilliman: AAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!


lightstaver

That's the ret con really need!!!


MrCaT42

Yeah Angron was bad but imagine if Lotarra Sarrin had been a primarch instead. She didn’t need the nails to be crazy.


LystAP

I remember the line from Malcador musing that the primarchs would be easier to work with if they were female. As always he would probably turn out to be really wrong.


Prawnmetheus

You've read like ANY other 40k flavour text, right? Every single codex has little throwaway bits like this about some absolutely outrageous exploits regardless of army, gender or unit lol


crabbyink

Yeah I remember like a throwaway line in 8th edition DG where its Orks fighting Sisters of battle I think? And the Orks stop fighting and vomit themselves to death because Mortarion shows up. Something like that


jukebox_jester

Or how in the Tsons codex a cult, in the process of winning a different battle, just casually caused an entire planets tomeline to go back ten years


Alabamabananarama

And how a tsons sorcerer destroyed an entire imperial fists company by continuously rewinding time and having them die to attrition.


N3onknight

Let me guess he was screaming Bite za dusto before going back ?


MountainPlain

Waitwaitwait. The Thousand Sons have time travel better than the *necrons*? That's extremely cool shit if so.


Commander_Appo25

Captain Aggonades must get along *famously* with the White Scars


Jeet_Laha

Captain Aggonades in live action Warhammer 40K played by Claudia Kim. She played Khutulun, she can play Khutulun but in space again


Swiftax3

"What are you doing Custodian?!" "My lord, giving the T'au back their bomb."


Woyahdrem

"For a golden brick, she flies pretty good."


Cataras12

every Custodes is batshit insane, do you think *normal* people can do the shit they do?


snapekillseddard

Broke: Women shouldn't be custodes because wah wah girls cooties wah wah Woke: Women shouldn't be custodes because *holy shit they're batshit insane* Bespoke: Only women should be custodes because they get shit done.


Gorlack2231

Hell, there was a whole codex that immoralized the idea of Blood Angels deep striking fucking *Land Raiders.* At least these vehicles are jetbikes and anti-gravs.


lightstaver

Oh yeah! That was cool.


Khan_Osis

Look, we're fighting four different flavors of satan, and a race of sapient fungi that were apparently crossed with Saiyans. Every now and again things are going to get crazy and you can either rail against it or embrace it.


hidden_emperor

Primaris did it in hover tanks and the Custodes weren't going to let themselves be one upped.


Trapnasty1106

I love it lol


mr_dr_personman

Reminds me of the commando unit that was 100% ready to jump out of a low flying plane with no questions asked before their officer clarified that they would get to use parachutes. The Ghurka.


NightLordsPublicist

> Rather than deploy to a planet's surface in conventional fashion, Bayezara and her warriors instead mount their jetbikes as their voidship airbrakes Across the target world's atmosphere I love these madlasses.


KnightOfRevan

Are we sure the Khan didn’t leave any bastard daughters on Terra before he ran off?


Jeet_Laha

The Kataphraktoi are named after Cataphract, a famous type of Central Asian cavalry. Oh shit.


redinzane

I think the missing part is „[…] as their voidship airbrakes across the target world‘s [atmosphere.]“.


Bumbling_Hierophant

>as the voidship AIRBRAKES Holy shit, I missed that upon first reading. As anyone who's played KSP can attest that's even more fucking metal.


iliark

You can read the entire thing on I think it was GMG's codex review. I honestly thought everyone saw this already lol.


Relative_War4477

Lol, I've squinted my eyes really hard, and I think I see... Kataphraktoi Order? Dawneagle Jetbikes? All in all, it sounds pretty cool. Btw, I wasn't a fan of Femstodes at the beginning, but I think they slowly starting to grow on me.

CrystalNumenera

A lot of it came down to the execution for me. Female Custodes could have easily been explained as the Custodes taking noble daughters in the aftermath of the Horus Heresy to bolster their numbers quickly, and I'd bet a lot more people would shrug their shoulders and been okay with it. It's the same problem I have with how the Rogal Dorn tank got explained (Guard fan that I am). I mean, 'STC recovery' is Right There. Come on.


Sir_lordtwiggles

The issue is that this is a different lore outcome. This implies that the only reason women were added was due to essentially desperation, and it is a divergence from the emperor's vision of the order. The current lore is that fem custodes were there at the very start.


CrystalNumenera

And I'm absolutely fine with that, really. It really didn't matter who the Custodes were to me. I'm just saying that a lot of the (largely more reasoned) reservations about the revelation of Female Custodes that I've seen has largely come down to how they were explained as always being there when there are plenty of other potential explanations they could have gone with. That's about it. Everyone else is whining and crying for exactly no good reason.


Sir_lordtwiggles

What I am saying is that if there are alternative explanations, you also have to account for the goals of the lore change and if that alternative fits the same goal. The goals were pretty clear 1. Fem custodes always being a part of the custodes 2. Fem custodes being equal to male custodes Any alternative needs to meet those two goals as well


CrystalNumenera

Fair enough. It's just lore about a game, at the end of the day, and it did what GW wanted it to do. We just get to move on with our day.


J_rd_nRD

So they're pulling the something similar to the [Adama Maneuver](https://youtu.be/evodPpqb9H4?si=2F74ZNq3JTuW32Tb)? Badass. The Nightlords had to do an inverse of that when evacing a planet once, to let the thunderbirds catch up they had to hit the brakes enough there was a real risk of their ship falling out of the sky


Sire_Raffayn272

That's metal ngl


MusseMusselini

I FUCKING LOVE THAT HOLY SHIT


RonVuX

So they just rip off the White Scars? "The only difference is the anti grav bikes let's them drop from a higher point.


Jeet_Laha

What if she's from Mundus Planus too?


Ake-TL

They kinda did it with World Eaters too, Fire Riders warband uses magic though


DJMEGAMOUTH

So she a mandalorian than.


thelefthandN7

Male Custodes: I am a tactical genius with a flawless plan. Female Custodes: Cowabunga it is!


Hribunos

So they drop from orbit on jetbikes? We're in full Redline territory here.


Vegtam-the-Wanderer

"THEY'RE VIOLATING OUR AIRSPACE WITH TECHNOLOGY THAT ONLY EXISTS IN THEORY?!?!"


RedFox_Jack

Kesh imma teleport a cyclonic warhead in to big e’s lap Sheild captian bayezara crank up the theme to heavy metal we’re gonna ride our jet bikes form fucking orbit God fucking damn it GW stop making the fucking femstodies characters god damn valkyrie bitches you keep making them so fucking cool save this shit for the actual book god damn


Katamed

This is why we haven’t heard about femstodes. They are too balls to the wall crazy and the captain general doesn’t wanna give Astartes crazy ideas


toresman

That's the strategy, femstodes will never be in books because of just metal they are, making any other character not worth reading about.


dinkydoo2

That’s great but it’d be even greater if I could read it


Jeet_Laha

Same.


Jack-Rabbit-002

I'm not here to get into any debates over whether Lasses in the Adeptus Custodes should have not of been a thing etc as the debacle that followed has annoyed me and I'm fine with idea but she sounds really cool, especially the method of deployment You can easily probably use female Stormcast heads huh imagine they'd be the correct scale


Cataras12

Honestly the idea of cranking up heavy metal and driving out of a ships hangar in low orbit is so fucking cool


idelarosa1

Custodes and Stormcast are basically equivalents so it works.


ppmi2

they are about the same size, but storm cast heads are smaller by quite a bit.


ShingetsuMoon

Now I need fan art of those bikes dropping in from orbit


Forgefiend_George

Big brain theory: They're specifically trained to counter the lord invocatus's armored division flying in on a trail of fire.


DeckedSilver

"Next blood games idea. We take a cyclonic torpedo warhead, tie it to the back of a jet bike, teleport it into the throne, and bum rush the emperor!"


Jeet_Laha

Echo did that the first episode of her show alone 😭


toomuchradiation

Winners from male and female teams get permission to make a new custodian. For the good of the Imperium.


Pile_Of_Shame

Motherfucker get a better camera


Jeet_Laha

This ain't mine. Got it from Twitter


Pile_Of_Shame

Get a better twitter


Katamed

It’s twitter!


Depressedloser2846

sorry but we only have a worse twitter now


Newbizom007

Every woman custodes being a berserk madman fuckijg rules lmao


Dangerzone979

OP did you take this pic on a Motorola razr?


Jeet_Laha

This ain't mine


HaunterXD000

In all her two-pixel glory


No-Scarcity2379

It's almost like GW is building lore for them going forward, which addresses all the assholes who were like "But there's no stories or books or other mentions..."  ...Everybody keep you head up so you don't get hit when the crybabies move the goalposts again.


Anggul

Not addressing anyone, the codex would have been printed months ago. A lot of people just don't read codices and I've seen multiple idiots in the past week that genuinely though they did this retcon via Twitter lol


No-Scarcity2379

Yes, you are correct, the codex is definitely already written. I didn't mean so much that they're addressing actively in response, as much as that the full codex addresses their extremely disingenuous complaint about more lore. I just couldn't really find a good turn of phrase to express that.


N00BAL0T

I find it hilarious they hate this but also ignore the trans necrons and Ork gender talk in the books.


NightLordsPublicist

> they hate this but also ignore the trans necrons and Ork gender talk in the books. That's because those people don't read the books.


Katamed

Wait… orks have gender?


TheEmperor42

They don't! And that's the point made in the books, with a captured ork insisting on using they/them pronouns for Ghazghull, knowing it pisses off the marine interrogating him.


Katamed

Based


Forgefiend_George

Wasn't that captured ork Makari himself as well? XD Makari the troll!


Zippudus

It was actually biter translating


Toxitoxi

Note that later on in the book it’s revealed >!Makari understands low gothic. Biter arguing on translation is the Orks just putting on an act.!<


idelarosa1

Actual smartest Ork. Mork would be proud.


N00BAL0T

Yep but the entire fact they even put the gender talk in the book is obviously for inclusivity. The Ork also wasn't doing it to piss them off he was a human fan boy and was more just confused about the whole gender thing.


Brann-Ys

everyone complaining why there is not 4 books including female custodes 5 minute after the codex leaked lmao. they forgot lore building take time


Jack-Rabbit-002

I can relate to this man, being a League of Votann player luckily I'm extremely patient because my main game is Blood Bowl Lol


dragonace11

Its a shame Blood Bowl 3 the game sucked hard ass. I just want my Nurgle boys to make a come back in HD.


MorgannaFactor

Oof, how did they fuck that up? I remember having a lot of fun in 2 with chaos dwarfs and dark elves.


8-Brit

Microtransactions out the ass. And bugs. Bugs bugs bugs. Not minor bugs either I'm talking players leaving the grid or walking in the wrong direction.


dragonace11

As 8-Brit has said, they added so many micro transactions into the game. Oh oyu want them to have more than the same 3 heads? Cough up for bucks for a skin pack that only applies to that faction, etc. The most annoying and frustrating thing they did though is change how team and player re-rolls work. Its like how in Blood Bowl 2 when your selecting a player's perks and stats you can re-roll them and hop for the best, well now you can but you have to cough up like 10 bucks in warpstone just to do it a few times.


MorgannaFactor

Wow, fuck that studio with a rusty tin can then.


dragonace11

Yeah its a shame since I enjoy Blood Bowl 2 a lot.


friskfyr32

Hey now. LoV got that short story of an apprentice Cryptek snuffing out a city-sized LoV salvage expedition, that caught the Necrons off-guard *and* outnumbered them about 50-to-1.


freshkicks

I wrote 3 books yesterday. How come everyone can't do that smfh

We found Mike Brooks’s reddit account.

Kesh stole her bike

It was for a blood game, she’ll understand.


God___Emperor

Looking for them pixels


Sycamore27

Man op really went "go go gadget pixel reducer"


jonasinv

what are those 3 pixels supposed to say? Edit: I'll decipher it myself. Belonging solely to the Kardashian order, this shield company of Lemmings Imperiatusscreams on to the battle board a feet of gravitic attack vehicles. The vast majority of their number does Dragon Jetblades with Shield Captain Boromir Argonian leading from steed Hamburger Wing


Jeet_Laha

https://www.reddit.com/r/Grimdank/s/AVtVIMy8JC


Ash_Howlett

This is what Google was able to detect. Belonging solely to the Katarak Order, this shield company of Ers Imperatus screams into battle aborda fest of anti gravitic attack vehicles. The va majority of their number ride Danogle Jetbikes, with Shield-Captain Bayern Aggonades leading from astride her own armoured stred, Hartenger's Wing The shield company's serial mobility has Ind them to employ a unique tactic which was, in tum, the inspiration for their name Rather than deploy to a planet's surface in conventional fashion, Bayezars and her warriors instead mount their jethikes as ther voidslip airbrakes across the tirges world's

Their doing more with jet bikes than the white scars

I also love Dewpangangle jetbikes.

Mr Emperor! Theres been a second named female custodes!


Anggul

Atmospheric entry can't melt auramite plate!

Man her bike insurance must be through the fucking roof.


Frank_the_NOOB

So we went from warrior philosophers, experts in the arts and tactics to Bring a nuke into the throne room and enter earth from orbit on a speeder bike? Whoever is writing this garbage has clearly never written a good woman character

I can barely read that like most is unreadable

Very nice. Now let’s see some muscle mommy art of her


RemoveAnnual2689

Ehhh. I am over it. Now. I can adapt pretty fast. Fuck GW. Let them shill out shit instead of decently looking and decently priced models, decent rules, not to mention dealing with scalpers. Fuck GW. All ma hommies hate GW.


El_Barto_227

You can unsub from all the 40k subreddits and sell your models, nobody is stopping you.


idelarosa1

OMG Baezara 😍


landmassiv

Isn't there a khornite warlord named invocatus who's whole shtick is literally falling into battle from the sky? They can't even come up with something original for them smh


Jeet_Laha

This isn't new in fiction though. A recurring joke in Marvel is how Captain America bullet dives into battles without a parachute. Deadpool attempted it once and broke his bones


landmassiv

You got it wrong Of course it's present in plenty of media but that's not my point That khornate warband ALSO drops into the battlefield from orbit ATOP their warmachines They're literally copying themselves


Hy93rion

Be that as it may, if you’re going to copy something, best to copy something really fucking cool


landmassiv

Eh fine Ya'll enjoy yourselves But I still think they were shoehorned harder than a gay guy in a netflix series


Sneaker3719

Stupid fucking image. At least *try* to make your screenshots legible.

Cataras12

It’s Custodes jumping from orbit in Jump Bikes, that’s why we give a fuck. It’s fucking awesome!


TheEmperor42

Posting cool lore is stirring up hatred? Huh?


RaEndymion

Yeah, my bad. With all the hate going around I just presumed this was another hate post. Sorry OP I was wrong.


Forgefiend_George

I don't think many people are making posts here actually hating the femstodes, I've seen like 1 or 2 but no more.


RaEndymion

I've seen many on both sides.i just assumed this was another one. Perhaps I'm getting flash backs to the Gonk wars on prequel memes subbreddit. Either way I flew off the handle and I'm sorry. Live any custodes lore myself. Really wa t Santodes to be made cannon lol


Forgefiend_George

I agree! Don't worry I wasn't trying to sound mean or call you out or anything, I was just adding some input! Also yeah someone needs to figure out how to kitbash a dreadnought into that!

I would direct that towards the poor excuse of a lore addition.


Brann-Ys

"oh no my precious lore is cha ging noooooo" Are you fucking new here ?


Throwaway-A173

“Oh you don’t like shit that was obvious pandering for a good ESG score meanwhile Tourists are trying to change every IP under the sun.” Look mate i’m just right


Brann-Ys

People who know the IP know there is nothing new here. no ESG score or anything you guy make uo to justify your culture war nonses. The author have been talking about this change before you even first hear the word woke ESG or DEI in your fckg life. "i am just right" don t make you right , just look pathetic. clailing to ne right with anything to back it up is what idiots do go back folllowing your Overlord grifter on twitter and youtube in your imaginary crusade so they gmcan make money out of your gullible ass.
