At last malcador's dream of superhuman big ladies can finally be made Canon. His sacrifice was finally vindicated
Malcador dabbing in the warp rn.
The solid confirmation does show, though, or rather puts a new light on, how funny Big E’s blatant trust and favouritism of the Custodes was.
“But you could make some of the Primarchs women, surely?”
“Mmm. No, no I don’t think so.”
“But the Custodes-“
“No, can’t be done.”
“But surely a little extra effort-”
“We ran out of girl budget. Also Auramite.”
“You can’t be serious.”
“What if, hear me out, we made different armour and coated it in melted down roof tiles?”
“Four hundred quadrillion thrones, Neoth.”
“They could be really nice roof tiles.”

So apparently on twitter there's a whole thing going on where anti-woke Warhammer fans performatively stormed out by declaring that they were going to play the horror-themed WWI wargame Trench Crusade instead, only to be mass-banned from its discord because the moderators didn't want a bunch of paleocon trolls stinking up the place.
The thing that blows my mind isn't just that they thought the thoroughly subversive Trench Crusade was positive Christian rep, but that they thought Warhammer 40,000 was. The setting where the messiah is explicitly dead and rotting and was an anti-religion crusader in life. Meanwhile Warhammer Fantasy's Sigmar is much more Thor than Jesus. A lot of conservative evangelicals and tradcaths seem to fall into liking straight up pagan gods if they have a sufficiently macho and traditionalist (western European) aesthetic.
Honestly, this is beyond media illiteracy, it's just straight-up blindness. Obliviousness beyond even the people who think Robocop and Starship Troopers are gung-ho pro-American action movies. Now I'm left to wonder how many fans of the Blasphemous game series are passionate reactionary Christians who get the happy feelings from the aesthetics and totally ignore the story and themes.
Still, I am glad to have learned about Trench Crusade through this, looks like a cool game. Aesthetic and themes kind of remind me of the Trench Foot/Countrycide mod for Doom (which, granted, started off as a Warhammer 40K mod...).

Looking through your old discord dms from years ago feels like some demon puppeteering your body with a sole purpose to embarrass you publicly
