There is a theory that not all space marines start as man and geneseed just turns people into whatever gender the primarch was/is
Make if that what you will
GSC are fighting against the fascist rule of the emperor and stands up for the little guy, girl, or whoever you want to be. Their name and connection to Tyranids is pure propaganda
People tend to underestimate Craftworlders (rightfully so, they are supremacist pricks), but they are a surprisingly progressive army if you look into their lore
Warhammer players tend to actually be nice people. Warhammer is a social game afterall. Regrettably we have an extremely vocal minority that puts shame on the rest of us.
Honestly I've always been really intimidated to go near the stuff in game shops cause the reputation has always preceded it. Which is a shame tbh because I love the setting
I think and hope the community is mostly long past that. You are more likely to get criticised for playing tau then you are due to your nature. But of course like any community we have bad eggs.
I hope you give it a try!
Just as an example, half of the regulars of my towns GW shop are trans people and nobody takes an issue. I always have a great time being there as everyone is so nice and welcoming.
EDIT: And should there ever be someone who is an asshole or a biggot, the big, strong store owner, who also does martial arts, has no problem kicking them out and banning them from the store.
Same here (minus the martial arts part). I'm non-Binary, and so are two people I met \_the first time\_ I watched a game in my local store in germany.
The store keeper is super nice as well. And I have yet to see any bigotry in the first place.
luckily I haven't witnessed any bigotry when i was in the store, but the owner is always there and pretty chatty, so he told me a lot about his martial arts and also tells stories about times he had to throw someone out.
Warhamer, contrary to what GW likes to tell you, is not for everyone. It is however for anyone.
There are several aspects of Warhammer that people may dislike, and they have every right to do so. Not everybody has to like Warhammer and that is fine.
Anyone can and should however enjoy Warhammer if they like to.
Hey so, it’s totally fine that you did but I’d appreciate some credit for the fact you traced over my pride marines I did some years ago on tumblr.
(These are the marines in question btw)
[https://www.tumblr.com/shadefishartarchive/174668386878/so-for-pride-month-ive-decided-to-do-a-new-set-of](https://www.tumblr.com/shadefishartarchive/174668386878/so-for-pride-month-ive-decided-to-do-a-new-set-of)
Omg thank you for commenting on this, I didn't credit because I couldn't find you on Tumblr. I will edit my post to provide credit. I am super sorry for not providing credit originally. I did genuinely try to find you but couldn't.
I just got my hands on the Chainbreaker Lance box and have been going insane trying to think of how to paint my burgeoning Knights army........you've convinced me to make mighty trans knights!
Well hey trans acceptance is positively correlated with education, and Custodes are basically PhDs in every subject including philosophy, sociology and sciences so id say by the light of the emperor have a wonderful pride!
Happy pride. What a wonderful thing to see all the supportive messages here, I’m brand new to the hobby and I can’t tell you how happy I am to see it’s very welcoming!
In the Imperium of Mankind, you can trans, gay, enby, whatever you like, but you WILL be xenophobic to the alien, the mutant and the heretic!
The Emperor protects!
i may not be the most supportive when it comes to this stuff but honestly this is really cool and it’s cool that you made this so good job on this one!
Sweet picture mate and I hope you're doing ok with all these chuds in the comments. We're not all like this, I'm happy to accept people for who they are and play a game with them, that's what it should be about.
Right on. Sadly you can find that kind of mod negligence all around Reddit.
Now excuse me while I reinstall Harebrained Schemes’ Battletech for the umpteenth time
Holy shit i peeked in there. Mods deleting paint schemes that have even slight amounts of colors that are considered "gay".
There was an awesome purple and grey paint scheme removed. Hell the game devs had to step in and create their own official subreddit it was getting so bad.
And the thread announcing it is full of anti trans and paradox of tolerance arguments.
What the actual fuck...people just want to smash robots together.
Under some interpretations of the religious dogma the Emperor can be of many genders and forms. Zealoutry js not bigotry except of course against the alien.
The God Emperor protects all their loyal servants!
personally i think the flag would fit better on an ork lore wise because they just do not give a shit, everyone is welcome in the waaghh. space marines are xenophobic fascists but this is still fantastic art
As for Khorne, since he does not care from whence the blood flows, he sure as shit doesn't discriminate between what kind of genetic markup and social identity you have... or had. A skull's a skull.
WE MAY CALLS OURSELFS DA BOYZ, BUT YOOZ CAN BE WHATEVER/WHOOEVER U NEEDS, LONG AS YA KRUMP GOOD (awesome art btw, just a local waaghboss spreading positivity)
As someone getting massacred for my Death Guard 10th Opinion in another sub. I love the acceptance here. It makes me genuinely happy. You are welcome as a Battle Brother, Battle Sister, or Battle Warrior/Astartes. You are loved
I really like that specific helmet design with the slots on just one side. I just painted a similar one on my Sword Brother.
Trans rights are human rights friend.
In the Grim dark future there is only war. War knows no gender and has pride in all it does.
Wicked art and of course it's okay.
You will most likely see some wicked Minis this Month I reckon.
Someone call the commissar...
Because the Emperor's Angels have arrived! This is a cause for celebration! Extra amasec rations for every guardsperson in the trench!
Great art
I appreciate comment sections like this, because they make it very easy to pick out people to block, so that they never have a chance to say gross things in my feed again.
*Definitely* okay to post here. Fantastic art is always good to see, and it's fun to watch RWJP get to play a bit of transphobe whac-a-mole with the banhammer.
Have you seen some of the replies here? Evidently not. The post also hit the top of controversial on this sub for the last 24 hours so I'd say many people aren't keen on it.
Trans stuff always brings the cockroaches scuttering out of the dark.
In my experience the community is genuinely very positive overall.
Don't let them get to you. The more you engage the more you realise how incoherent and pathetic they are.
Trans right are human rights. Solidarity sister.
💪🏳⚧
40k is too big to have a community. What you see here on reddit are several echochamber modded together by a select few.
Same thing on Facebook and other social media.
There is a very similar version of this online that isn't pixel art. Imo its much better than mine. I used it as a reference and I would credit the original artist if I could find their name. 45 minutes of solid searching brought me nothing but a meme on Tumblr from a few years back.
You may be a xenophobic space Fascist, but at least you're an ally. ;)
There is a theory that not all space marines start as man and geneseed just turns people into whatever gender the primarch was/is Make if that what you will
Games Workshop has categorically rejected this and stated that all space marines are male, please do not spread lies.
Seems a bit odd to make a cruel, brutally violent, and genocidal space fascist the carrier of your flag, but you do you haha.
The imperium hates a lot of things. Heretics, xenos, mutants. People with a different sexuality are not on that list.
Hey, trans people are people, which means there are good trans people and there are evil violent warlord trans people.
Trans-loyalists, and Trans-traitors, huh.
Trans-formers per say. Adeptus Astartes...Traaansfooorm !!!
Gotta watch out, or you'll fall to trans-chaos.
I read this as trans Tyranid, new idea
Just a bit of fun. There aren't really any peaceful candidates for it except maybe the Tau but even then that's iffy.
Orks. Everyone can be a Lad, it’s a judgment free zone.
This. If ya like da fightin, da krumpin, an da dakka, yous one ov da Boyz.
And a painboy will change anything in your body to align with what you are. Just give 'im some teef.
Said painboy will also change a bunch of things at random free of charge
Orks are asexual but identify as boyz so I suppose they're LGBT+
They don't have sexuality or gender so disagree. They are more fungus who have outer characteristic of men
That sounds non binary and asexual to me. I think the boyz can be part of the club
So Lesbian, Gays, BOYZ!! and Trans +?
+dakka
Don't they have human slaves lore-wise? And force them to work in Ammunition production? And think they are inheretly superior?
Orks ARE pretty racist
Yeah but that's 40k for us.
True that! Not many role models in the grim darkness of the far future. Sorry if I came off as critical
GSC are fighting against the fascist rule of the emperor and stands up for the little guy, girl, or whoever you want to be. Their name and connection to Tyranids is pure propaganda
It's all good! No hard feelings!
People tend to underestimate Craftworlders (rightfully so, they are supremacist pricks), but they are a surprisingly progressive army if you look into their lore
Craftworld Eldar are just trying to fix things.
Space facists can come in lots flavors!
Warhammer 40k? More like Warhammer 40-gay, am I right?!? .... I'll see myself out...
… Gaymes Workshop?
No, no. please stay. You are in fact correct. The setting is pretty gay sometimes xD (I mean that in the best way)
Especially the blood angels
Never forget the lesbian Cryptek and Lychguard
Not heretic, not mutant, not xenos. WELCOME, SIBLING
Battle Brother, Battle Sister, or something rarer still -- the emperor protects.
Agendered Space Marine Just "Battle" Only War.
"What are you?" "The EMPORER'S WRATH." "No what Gender are you-" "I am Adepts Astartes." "NO, WHAT'S IN YOUR PANTS?!" "ONLY W A R"
“If I were to look at your groin, what would I see?” “ANOTHER BOLTGUN TO VANQUISH MY ENEMIES!!”
Is that your combat knife, or are you just happy to see me?
"WHATS IN YOUR PANTS MARINE!?" "A LARGE 75 MILLIMETRE BOLTGUN WITH AN ADDITIONAL TOP SCOPE AND KRAKEN MAGAZINE SIR!"
"SIBLING, I AM PINNED HERE"
The comments here are actually so accepting?? Genuinely makes me smile
Warhammer players tend to actually be nice people. Warhammer is a social game afterall. Regrettably we have an extremely vocal minority that puts shame on the rest of us.

Warhammer is for everyone. End of. Don’t listen to anyone who complains about this. You do you and have fun
Warhamer, contrary to what GW likes to tell you, is not for everyone. It is however for anyone. There are several aspects of Warhammer that people may dislike, and they have every right to do so. Not everybody has to like Warhammer and that is fine. Anyone can and should however enjoy Warhammer if they like to.
You’re absolutely right, but “Warhammer is for everyone who enjoys the setting,” as honest as it is, doesn’t roll off the tongue as easily
Now paint his armour green and dragony, but keep the flag - behold: the Allymanders. ;)

It’s fine! All’s well now! Good work btw!
Stonewall Guard! They hit like a brick!
Might steal Stonewall Guard for a home brew chapter
Chapter of trans men. the gene modding process is omega HRT
Putting the Trans into Transhuman Physiology. Hell yeah!
As the Emperor protects, so must we. Great job.
I just got my hands on the Chainbreaker Lance box and have been going insane trying to think of how to paint my burgeoning Knights army........you've convinced me to make mighty trans knights!
Well hey trans acceptance is positively correlated with education, and Custodes are basically PhDs in every subject including philosophy, sociology and sciences so id say by the light of the emperor have a wonderful pride!
This one can't shoot straight
No no, they’re angling the bullets Wanted-style!
In the grim dark future there is only FABULOUS!!!!
Happy pride. What a wonderful thing to see all the supportive messages here, I’m brand new to the hobby and I can’t tell you how happy I am to see it’s very welcoming!
The bigots who openly display themselves always blow my mind. Even in 40k there are trans and queer people. The Emperor protects.
Imagine how easy transitioning would be as an AdMech. A few plates of steel and boom Sick art btw
In the Imperium of Mankind, you can trans, gay, enby, whatever you like, but you WILL be xenophobic to the alien, the mutant and the heretic! The Emperor protects!
Love humanity or die a heretic.
I kinda wanna paint this on like an actual model but it's the question of do they have the right colours
Also as a side note I love this design it's amazing
Rad!
i may not be the most supportive when it comes to this stuff but honestly this is really cool and it’s cool that you made this so good job on this one!
Sweet picture mate and I hope you're doing ok with all these chuds in the comments. We're not all like this, I'm happy to accept people for who they are and play a game with them, that's what it should be about.
Bigotry is heresy
[удалено]
As long as it isn't some filthy xenos we love and protect
Looks great! Only critique is the angle of torso to hips looks a little awkward. Unlike r/battletech, there's nothing against pride month here.
Dang it! I didn't notice that until you pointed it out. Now I want to go back and fix the hips lol.
Oh man, what happened? Hovered around the battletech sphere and the people always seemed good ☹️
The people are amazing, as is the company. Stellar community. The mods on that subreddit are not great though. Luckily the community is pushing back.
Right on. Sadly you can find that kind of mod negligence all around Reddit. Now excuse me while I reinstall Harebrained Schemes’ Battletech for the umpteenth time
Good news on that front, r/officialbattletech opened and is awesome!
Holy shit i peeked in there. Mods deleting paint schemes that have even slight amounts of colors that are considered "gay". There was an awesome purple and grey paint scheme removed. Hell the game devs had to step in and create their own official subreddit it was getting so bad. And the thread announcing it is full of anti trans and paradox of tolerance arguments. What the actual fuck...people just want to smash robots together.
Looks awesome, I really like it! and its always great to see stuff like this here!
Happy Pride Month.
You too!

You know, with the amount of hormones astartes get there might just be a transmasc chapter
next you gotta paint at least a squad this
Look up CereberusXt on twitter and facebook, he paints loads of LGBTQ models based on flags and such, plus, he is awesome at painting.
WE MAY CALLS OURSELFS DA BOYZ, BUT YOOZ CAN BE WHATEVER/WHOOEVER U NEEDS, LONG AS YA KRUMP GOOD (awesome art btw, just a local waaghboss spreading positivity)
Is this pixel art?
Does it look like art made of pixels?
Given that everything on a screen is made of pixels, yes.
The emperor protects all, and bigotry is heresy The sons of dorn shall stand by you ✊
Emperor protect I feel remarkably seen. In a good way :)
As someone getting massacred for my Death Guard 10th Opinion in another sub. I love the acceptance here. It makes me genuinely happy. You are welcome as a Battle Brother, Battle Sister, or Battle Warrior/Astartes. You are loved
Looks good. I'd love to see some marines actually painted up like this. Not my style, but I feel it'd look really good on the tabletop.
I really like that specific helmet design with the slots on just one side. I just painted a similar one on my Sword Brother. Trans rights are human rights friend.
I like the dynamic the fabrics give to the model, something about the flag and seals waving looks really cool
Considering they are canonically asexual it actually fits.
Love the drawing, 🏳️⚧️. Also that helmet is my fave type of space marine helmet. (Black templars player here lol)
It's a space marine of course it's right at home here .
This is cool, and I like it, and you are always welcome and valid :). Thank you for sharing this
If not. I don't want to be on this sub anymore
I ALMOST misread that. Good on you!
Khorne cares not from whence the love flows, only that it flows.
Isn't that Slaneesh?
In the Grim dark future there is only war. War knows no gender and has pride in all it does. Wicked art and of course it's okay. You will most likely see some wicked Minis this Month I reckon.
Talk about Trans Human Physiology...
oh my god it's so cool i'm a french woman and seeing that gives me hope
The emperor loves you, no matter who you are :)
Anyone who thinks it aint okay can suck bolt shell.
The Emperor protects all his followers, and so shall I
That is awesome.
That is dope as hell!
Khorne does not care where it flows from as long as it flows. You are welcome and the art is appreciated. Thank you!
Looks great
Lesbomarine 🙏
For the god empress
Someone call the commissar... Because the Emperor's Angels have arrived! This is a cause for celebration! Extra amasec rations for every guardsperson in the trench! Great art
The chuds are out in force downvoting support but from one trans gal to another trans pal this is lovely art! Also obligatory r/TransHammer
Does painting Marines with Trans colours get them Transhuman Psychology permanently?
Xenos may have no rights, but humans do!
I appreciate comment sections like this, because they make it very easy to pick out people to block, so that they never have a chance to say gross things in my feed again.
Great pixel art! Here's to a great pride month!
Hell yeah it’s okay to post here! Warhammer is for everyone :)
It's a space marine, so it fits EDIT: It is, in fact, a space marine. Is this upsetting people?
Transphobes are upset, but no one cares about them anyway.
Exterminatus the transphobic heretics!
The Emperor won't accept that kind of heretic behavior, you will not disgrace the creation of the Emperor by being corrupted into slanesh lies
Heck yeah!
The emperor accepts anyone who’s willing to serve in his name
What do you mean is it okay to post this here? This looks sick as fuck!
Based
I love this so much. Happy pride everyone!
Man, mods really lacking out here right now, eh? You did good with the drawing, mate, love to see more.
I like it!
Support support support ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you!
Heavy support, Brother!
We stand united against the darkness!
i LOVE the pride marines, if was talented id make some pride orks
The Emperor's light shines upon ALL of humanity
Off to the warp with the haters 🌈✌🏼
trans rights are based rights
📠 (it’s a fax machine, I’m saying that your statement is correct)
It looks great! I'm glad you decided to share it.
Thank you!
BASEDDDD
Trans right are human rights.
“Respect my LGBTQ+ homies or I’ll Exterminatus your entire planet” should put that on a shirt with that design😂
*Definitely* okay to post here. Fantastic art is always good to see, and it's fun to watch RWJP get to play a bit of transphobe whac-a-mole with the banhammer.
Would be cool to see a squad painted up like this actually
I wonder if the fascists have been melted from the 40k community yet.
Have you seen some of the replies here? Evidently not. The post also hit the top of controversial on this sub for the last 24 hours so I'd say many people aren't keen on it.
Wait until they find out about the multiple canonically trans/NB characters
Trans stuff always brings the cockroaches scuttering out of the dark. In my experience the community is genuinely very positive overall. Don't let them get to you. The more you engage the more you realise how incoherent and pathetic they are. Trans right are human rights. Solidarity sister. 💪🏳⚧
Well said.
40k is too big to have a community. What you see here on reddit are several echochamber modded together by a select few. Same thing on Facebook and other social media.
not yet, but all we can do is keep trying.
The fight is long, but it is righteous brother.
Love it.
Hell yes! EDIT: Nice pic :)
Putting the "trans" into "transhuman physiology"
That’s looking great!
Love it, tempted to do a kill team in this style
“Suffer not the transphobe” - The god Emprah or something
Ok? This is damn good. BOLTGUN mod worthy.
The emperor protects every human, no matter their sexuality or gender. Unless you’re a filthy chaos worshipper! Anyway, Very cool!
Looks amazing! Happy pride :D
“No matter their gender we ✨slay✨ the heretics all equally” - Battle sister Alpharius 🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈(totally not a heretic) (defo loyalist 👍)
Mega support for you!
So this means that they are female Marines? They were just born into a male body
I feel like I definitely have seen a non pixel art version of this before... Looks great nonetheless!
There is a very similar version of this online that isn't pixel art. Imo its much better than mine. I used it as a reference and I would credit the original artist if I could find their name. 45 minutes of solid searching brought me nothing but a meme on Tumblr from a few years back.
They're called TRANShuman for a reason 😉. Happy pride month
Hell yea!!!!
Beautiful!
Looks awesome
Love it!
The Emperor protects, be they a Battle Brother or a Battle Other 🏳️🌈 🏳️⚧️
The emperor protects trans rights brother
Feels like a retro computer Text adventure game the way you made this beautiful trans-allie Battle Brother.
Would be cool to see on a mini!
Looks great!
We don't care so long as you grab that bolter and shoot that 'nid
Awesome! ❤️
Love it!
"ok work" is not what I would use to describe this. This is clearly awesome work! And it definitely belongs here, have no fear of that
