A single story about female Custodes has made Games Workshop's sci-fi future the target of grifters and elements of a toxic fanbase it has failed to stamp out.

Warhammer 40,000's grimdark world of horrors both human and alien has developed a complicated relationship with elements of its audience over the years.

And yet, in spite of all this, Games Workshop finds itself once again having to navigate another struggle with its audience that has increasingly become a problem in recent years: how its portrayal of the fascism at the heart of Warhammer 40,000's biggest faction has invited opportunities for people who align themselves with that ideology in real life to believe that they have a safe space within Warhammer’s community to share and support those beliefs.

Warhammer 40K Introduces First Female Custodian in Adeptus Custodes CodexThe upcoming Adeptus Custodes codex for Warhammer 40K's 10th Edition includes a surprising update to the faction's lore, introducing the first female Custodian character, Calladayce Taurovalia Kesh. The claim, nothing in the lore stands against female Custodians, is just wrong. Codex: Space Marines (8th. Edition): "It is known that all Custodians begin their lives as the infant sons of the noble houses of Terra.” Codex: Space Marines (9th. Edition): “Potential custodians are taken in at a very young age to better survive – no older than late infancy – and it is a great honour for those of Terran noble houses to submit a son.”
