Warhammer Bows To FEMINISTS 

DEI. (Didn’t Earn It)

Amazon, Black Rock, and Vanguard makes Horus look like the good guy

Not only are there now female Custodes, the God Emperor himself is now gender fluid.

It's almost like Hollywood is actively trying to screw Henry Cavill. Superman, The Witcher, and now WH40K.

Bye bye Warhammer

Thank you for the following: 1) pronouncing the faction name correctly 2) understanding the nuance of the narrative/story/lore 3) honest fan of Dan Abnett -

This started with stay out of my bedroom Its now even destroying places based on creativity and brainstorming. I dont call shoving their presence into everything and everywhere they see inclusive

I know Henry Cavill will try to fight this for his show but he probably can't win

isn't it ironic they are pushing men out of gaming and women into gaming at the same time they are pushing men into women's sports and women out of sports......

The woke mind virus has assimilated Warhammer. 😢

Damn it. The one fantasy realm I wanted to stay true to the lore. They took LOTR and now 40K. F$ck.

Not only did they do this on behalf of blackrock / vanguard/ amazon dei pressure but they also completely ignored the equally as powerful all female counterpart to the custodes the sisters of silence in favor of female custodes

The people in charge are so out of touch they're in another dimension. That might actually explain a few things

We have to fight for what we love otherwise those who hate it will change and destroy it!

The funny thing is, there are entire chunks of the lore that are female only. Calidus assasins, Sisters of silence, and the Adepta Sororitas is an all female military wing of the church. These are all beloved parts of the lore.

The lore says they're trans human, some apparently are more trans than others. Chances are the new characters will be OP

This is being pushed by Amazon.

Whoa. Never did I thought I'd see Warhammer 40k mentioned on here.

"My armor is contempt, my sword is hatred, my shield is disgust..." "Arch" channel has a lot of lore.

If people wanted to play women astartes... there is an entire chapter called the Sisters of Battle... also you have the inquisition!

This isn't to make women or even the Feminists happy. It's to make GW's majority shareholders, Blackrock & State Street, happy.

Thank you for being a big enough nerd to cover this. I now respect you a thousand times more. For the Emperor!

I used to write for GW. Started playing in the 80s, worked there from the 90s-2000… it makes me sad to see this happen to my 40k. But things have been slowly going downhill for a while now. 😢

These companies do not care about their audience, the very people that made them successful. Just don't buy their products, especially the new things. Retain the old, solid, good things that you have purchased and just use those. Let them chase that 1 or 2% and see how they fail. Give them consequences and this nonsense will stop.

I never knew i needed the blaze to come to the aid of the fanbase of wh40k thank you for your aid

Nope. Never heard of Warhammer. So thank you! My life is now complete.

The First bows only to the Emperor. And they can't take away the old codex's.

They seem to want to make use of the term "trans-human" as one way to make WH40K inclusive. Oh brother...

They did the same thing with Primaris Marines. "oh, no, there were always primaris marines who are half again the size of regular space marines." In fact, GW has a 30+ year history of retconning and crapping all over their own lore. ETA: 5th edition 40k was best 40k. freezing lore at 5th would be the most reasonable course. Unless you're GW, and your number 1 goal is self admittedly selling toy soldiers.

the emperor has JUST been cast in henry cavils show.. the legendary Oprah Winfrey has taken the part. she will play the gay emperor identifying as an they/them.

The thing thats the most annoying is, women were always in warhammer and have always been badasses in their own right, but that wasnt good enough and now they have to bend the lore to force them in where they werent before, all these companies are basically telling fans to stop wasting time learning the lore and gettint immersed because they will change it on a whim, it shows they dont care anymore.

Star Wars did the same thing with the clones...

I mean, I’m hesitant to believe Lauren is actually a fan of the Horus Heresy books, but her delivery sells it. My mind is blown. 😂

For anyone not familiar with the Games Workshop company, this is not the first time they have worked very hard to alienate their own customer base. Price hikes, changing rules drastically to suit one faction of players or the other, yadda yadda yadda.

Henry Cavil is going to be disappointed.

As someone who’s been an avid Warhammer 40 K player (and Warhammer fantasy, now Warhammer AOS) for over 30 years, and someone who has seen nine additions of the game, and owns seven different factions. They can play it almost 4000 points each, I’ve seen DEI creep into the writing for several years now. I’ve seen feminists who don’t play the game scream on message boards, and players in real life, about the sexist nature of having an all male fighting force, as an option to play, while simultaneously saying that the sister of Battle force, which comprises of all females is empowering for women getting into the game. There’s plenty of representation for women in almost every faction, and no one has a problem with it. The Lord being Redcon is something that happens fairly often, so even though we all know it’s being done for political purposes. It’s not what fans are upset about. It’s lying, and silencing of dissenting voices on this topic, and the obvious pandering to people who do not play, the game, enjoy the novels, or even involve themselves in the hobby of painting and modeling. It is a cynical push, insert modern politics into peoples escape from the modern politics of their daily lives. GW has made a mistake, that will cost them billions of dollars. See Disney see Bud Light. Warhammer fans are fanatical.

Games Workshop is the reason I got away from Games Workshop. Never another dime.

Even the Tolkien estate didn't retcon Lore for Amazon.

This is all a power move to control Henry it’s pretty obvious. You don’t force female custodes who are gene seed creations from the emperor. Both the sisters of battle and silent wear power armor not as bulky for obvious reasons he’ll even some female inquisitiors wear them too. And yes if they’re interested in a strong woman they could’ve expanded Inquisitor Solace Deschaine and she’s a nut lol with a fun backstory this isn’t just lazy it’s to control simple as that.

They always have to lie that’s what they’re good at That’s all they know

The biggest issue I find is that no one is pointing out that there are females in every other faction in 40K. Just no female space marines/ custodes. Will there now be male Sisters of Battle?

One thing most people seem to overlook, is that the Hobby of WH40K, has always been open for people to make their own lore, headcannon or fanfiction if you want to call it that. There have allways been people that think they want to make female Space Marines, and convert them to females, and usually they also have som fanfiction for it. And mostly folks say "oh cool models" or something like that. There are also people who say "well thats not cannon" but, usuallly folks play with friends, and friends usually allow people in their groups to do what ever, as long as it doesnt break the rules. So how it works is "Ive made these dog folks, and they are bad asses! without armour. So they count and play as SPACE MARINES" or what ever. And idealy people in that group says its okey, its just them anyhow. So! That some custodes are now being female seems wrong in the canon lore. BUT there are probably someone that have made the effort to convert their whole custodes army to females (because he/she likes female designed armors). And thats no problem. And the work are often seemed like cool or interresting. I know, becouse ive been playing one of the most neglected armies in WH40K history (with friends also playing some niche armies), så I had to invent stuff all the time. For instance, had one playing Squats before 3rd edition. Bummer. they where retconned. But you could use rules like "Counts as Space Marines", and it worked out rather well. Untill League of Votann came though. but still. why not? But finally, Custodes are male. They just are. Cheers.

I always look forward to Lauren's battle reports. Oh, wait...

What's the point of lure if they're going to completely erase it by one change in the future

It already had women warriors. The Sisters of Battle. One of the biggest Mary Sues. With pure will and faith they don't need power armor nor strength.

Must be a super slow news week for journalists if blaze makes a video about " theres a lady in my toy soldiers"

just like WotC, so shall everything good fall.

Any Warhammer fans watching this, that are new to Blaze, please SUBSCRIBE to show your support for this great channel, it feels like one of the last voices of logic, in this currently crazy world.

Noooooooooooooooooo!

There has always been Brownies in the Boy Scouts aswell ;)

Would have no problem if it was written in as a new thing,(like a speed-type super soldier) retconning established lore sucks

this is the chaos taint we were warned about

The people who love this aren't actual war hammer fans. Just coat racks

Completely agree, there was already plenty of representation for Women in other armies, I have a Sisters of Silence army, I used to play sisters of battle, I have had an Esher Necromunder gang since the 90's ', it makes sense in those armies, as The Women have ablites the men do not,

A warp, superfied man comes out an absurdified perfection for warring. Helen of Troy, infamous for leading a war? What would she be if she was 'superfied'? A galaxy wide war to marry her? With a side of werewolf vampire billionaires that are kinky. Think theres a Greek trajedy or two ..oh well.

I could find dozens of examples too, just recently reading the book on constantine valdore or the numerous sisters of battle referring to the Custodes as the SONS of the Emperor and the SOB the daughters of the Emperor. etc etc etc Other references include how the Emperor chose the best of humanity to create his Custodes and the Astartes and in no world could a female ever ever ever be consider the best when it comes to creating the ultimate soldier. I can imagine during the Siege of Terra when Abaddon comes upon reconned female cuckstodes, Erebus and Abaddon break out into hysterical laughter then slaughter the cuckstodes without breaking a sweat.

Is there a large number of ladies that like to build and paint little soldier figures and play war games and study the many epic WarHammer factions and lore paths? I am really curious.

And promptly GW went broke from everyone boycotting it. I mean, why buy stuff when 3D printing is on the rise anyways - and with GW's lawyers out of the picture, who's gonna stop that? Nobody. Just get the old rulebooks, 3D print your own models and have FUN. ..and also stop taking loans out to buy 40k stuff. They already lost their goodwill when they cancelled fan projects (including TTS) - so now bowing to the woke, they might as well go down into bankruptcy

Brotherhood not always have to mean "only men" for example Fallouts Bortherhood of Steel where there always been women in their ranks some even being Paladins. But the differnece is that in Fallout we knew from the beginning that the Brotherhood allows women into their ranks but in Warhammer from the beginning we knew that Custodes are men.

For those people who agree with the change and argue with the famous quote "Why should you care about what happens inside this fictional universe?", I ask you: Why do you care? If it is so irrelevant why are you going out there demanding and endorsing that this change comes through? If it is so wrong to care about it, why do you care about trying to make a case and point in changing decades of lore to appease the ESG? Be real, you do care just as we do, but for you is not a matter of love for the hobby, what you want is that the setting be made in your own image and not to be what it always was: a grimdark universe filled with factions and groups, where there is no hope or progress. The only constant in this indifferent and cruel universe that is 40k is war. For you that is not enough, you want your slimy politics and view of the real world to be inserted in it, the problem of the hobby is not us who are trying to defend it, the problem is you. Calling the likes of you tourists is inaccurate, for me the correct term is "colonizers" since you all go from one thing to the next, then ruins it with r*t*rd*d politics whom nobody outside from a very vocal but small minority on Twitter takes seriously, and once it is just a husk of what it was, you disappear to suck out another thing.

Oye vey, shut it down

3D print all your minitures. Buy second hand older novels.

Female Custodes "Do you lack faith!? Do you lack a SPINE brother!?" Blood Angels Chaplain Bald 😂😂

Hi, Lauren. Do we have any hope of seeing your armies fighting the good war in the near future?

South Park prepared you for this.

YOU FOOLS !

Am I going crazy? Or is blaze TV actually creating a entire video about Warhammer 40k?

Lauren reading Black Library?!?!? Not my first guess.....

Great video, and commentary, Lauren. FIGHT! Take it to them ruthlessly! Keep up the good work! You know--just like the vast majority of 40K fans and gamers in general--that this whole stupid move by GW is just more Woke BS! Semper Fidelis, SHARK

GW is horribly woke and knew is they changed the lore they would lose customers, but Amazon TV show with Amazon money have ordered them to put in the show a strong female character. So GW have thrown their lore and business under the bus for Amazon, not a great plan.

Get Woke Go Broke Warhammer 🎉 🇺🇲🇵🇷

You know before this there were only 2 armies that didn’t have any females in it. Orks, and space marines. The custodes had sisters of silence. So if they come out and say it’s for representation just know they are talking a bunch of BS.

Honestly as a titan player I can't even get new titan weapons but I can get a bunch of BS about characters who never happened till 2024. And forge worlds which makes very beautiful models can't even get restocked on existing models, but hey let's go 'diversity 40k'. Thanks amazon.

Recognice Slannesh heresy. Get the flamer!

Lauren likes 40k.. . I did not see that coming...

Well shet. Not accepting it. The lore clearly states otherwise.

more like "war ham-woman" lol

*(GO WOKE, GO BROKE). First they came after STAR WARS. MARVEL is now the M-SHE-U. DC was not far behind. Ghost 👻 Buster Doctor Who/Doctor Fluid Bud Light 💡Disaster. So now their at your door 🚪 step. War Hammer 🔨 Fandom needs to protect. Is your history worth fighting for. I hope the fandom wins 🏆.

Does anyone gets the ironic vibes when people try to force a product to be more inclusive when the whole canon literally evolves around trans-people?

yeh its very sexist, female custodes but no brothers of silence

Does anyone know this beautiful ladys name.?

WH40K have female legion already, how about the sister of silence and the sister of battle, why forcing some female in the custodes ?

FML first starwars now this

They thought the bastion was insurmountable. They were wrong. Their lwgions of fans stand powerless. Sadly. If orrda donna wrk waaaarrrrggghhh against the long good night. Waaaargh beyond the necron.

How about saying where this comes from? Judaism teaches the original human being, Adam, according to their Midrash, had one body, two sets of genitalia and two faces. Rather than binary gender being the model of original humanity, the first person is intersex. "Adam" was a pronoun not a name. It comes from Adamah meaning of the earth.

Warhammer had a good run. We'll always have the material BWE (Before Woke Era). Just shame it goes out with a whimper instead of sane people fighting back.

It was a good life.

Warhamher

Unless Henry Cavill and Elon Musk buys bankrupt GW, WH is dead. Get the flamer, brother.

Another, "If ya don't like this, leave" mentality. Well GW, say goodbye to 90% of your playbase, if not more. I'm sure the 3d printing companies will gladly enjoy it. I print btw, and will never buy from GW again.

Bud hammer Light

Slaanesh... Tzeench... Those who know.

Wokehammer

It really doesnt matter. If this is the hill youd choose to die on with 40k, then you probably jumped ship over a decade ago. Majority of 40k fans do not care. GW regularly retcons and changes lore. This is nothing compared to the massive changes theyve done in the past. You're talking about 10 foot tall genetically engineered super-super soldiers here!

Arent tbe Blood Angels pretty much chicks? 😂😂

WarhamHER

Stock wizards, time your shorts well

Great video lauren. Well researched and very reasonable.

GWGB

Welp. Another series lost.
