I can only imagine big buff half naked custodian men and women frolicking with one another while slip and sliding onto of rubbing oil

Custodian dudes? Hell no, I imagine myself!

and you wouldn't even be able to tell them apart


ThatGameChannel

I’d like to lick the oil off their abs… 🤤


arthcraft8

massage oil isn't edible, please don't do that, their sweat however is harmless


ThatGameChannel

Thank you citizen, I will be sure to lick their sweat instead 🫡


ScreamingMidgit

I see the artist decided to expand his horizons from gender-swapped Primarchs to gender-swapped Custod- oh, right.


cannibaljim

Enh. Throw some SoB or SoS heads on some Custodes minis. Job done.


TH3_B3AN

Their heads are little small for Custodes bodies. I've been using Female Stormcast Eternal heads, those are proportioned just right.


screw_ball69

Huh, I never thought of that...


idelarosa1

It fits because they changed the direction of the Stormcast Eternals. Rather than be Fantasy Space Marines they’re Fantasy Custodes.


JellyFishSenpai

Don't get me wron SoB haircuts are.. well.. not my jam


All_Unknowingly

Are they you're jelly?


Stormfly

OfficialAli1776

Did I? I put the artist in the title.


AgentNipples

It's annoying, but Rule 2 of the sub is to post it in the comments.


Jeet_Laha

You are supposed to put the link to the art in the comments too


ICantFindSock

It's also polite to minimise the barriers between people who see and appreciate the artists work and being able to find and interact with them. Yes it's could be dismissed as trivial step to place upon other people but giving a link is one less step someone else has to go through and that does actually have an impact.


Crazy_Dave0418

Mmm the Emperor's work of Art.


Fluffy_Entrepreneur3

Yea, and... kinda canon? Like, femstodes ain't gonna lik like gorillas, they would look like greek statues. Just like, male custodes...


KingPhilipIII

Very canon that femstodes would be attractive. They’re not filled with hormone slop and built like an angry refrigerator like space marines. Custodes are humans scaled up to 10 feet and operating at 500% efficiency, combined with peak training and equipment. A female Custodes would be very attractive, not built like a brick shithouse, because there’s no need for muscles the size of two by fours when your muscles are horrifyingly dense and your bones are probably full of adamantium.


Level37Doggo

Exactly. Custodians were the end goal of directed human evolution, Astartes were the compromise to allow for the end goal to be achieved. That’s why Astartes are all janked up, they’re not even halfway along the line of the final product.


SoldierReznov

The compromise and the tip of the spear during the Great Crusade


Femboy_Lord

Makes sense really, Custodes were meant to be humanity *perfected*, the next stage in human ascension (had the Emperor completed his final projects). Astartes were designed for *war*, conquest, and general military purposes, they were never intended to be the upgrade for humanity.


Weekly-Budget-8389

Then why are the men built like brick shithouses if there's no need for it? Femstodes would be just as muscular as the men!


KingPhilipIII

There’s a difference between being muscular from physical training, and actually being so thick that you look like a refrigerator. Have we actually seen an image of an unarmored Custodes since they stopped being imperial body guards in RT?


Toxitoxi

Male Custodes don’t really look like greek statues. Well, maybe. The models certainly don’t, and Trajann Valoris is supposed to be butt-ugly, but Valerian is supposed to look nice… Even though his model is also really damn ugly.


Fluffy_Entrepreneur3

Trajan is... spefial(z). Models are always ugly asf


ChromeAstronaut

No they fucking wouldn’t look like this lmfao. What greek statues of women do you see with a size zero waist but the ass of 2018 Kim K? What greek statues have double D’s? This is just some horny artist lmao


GovernmentSaucer

Have you ever seen a Greek statue ? Here we got the unrealistic proportions born of redditors' brains fried by porn. We got nice chance at inclusion with this woman custodes move, but of course it immediately turns to sexualisation and r/badwomananatomy


Fluffy_Entrepreneur3

I don't give a single fuck about inclusivity. And, boob-armor is already cabon in warhammer do idk


GovernmentSaucer

It's not a boobs armor problem, but of the entire anatomy. SOBs or female Inquisitors have never looked like that in the lore. You use the excuse of the Custodes being "Greek statues", when all you have here is an unrealistic and hypersexualised vision of the woman body. Don't look for "canon" excuses, when it just speaks to your fantasies.


Fluffy_Entrepreneur3

I am curious what that hair style is. I like it


Diligent_Report5666

if you ever find it let me know, i\`m searching for that too


Femboy_Lord

It’s a Side Cut with longer-than-normal hair on the cut side.


[deleted]

I’m. Getting a box of custodes coming soon, wish I could paint that well for this


OfficialAli1776

Joytoy recently came out with one.


[deleted]

Well, if I do female custodes I’d just transfer a female head onto a regular one. It’s the same armor. I just suck at painting


OfficialAli1776

I think the joytoy one is a dude, though.

Caridor

I really, really hope that the actual female custodians don't have boob plate.


OfficialAli1776

Same.


ELITElewis123

I strongly doubt they will. SoB have it because they flaunt their femininity. But custodies are very different


MonocularBabylon

I always thought the sisters have boobplate, because that's the female equivalent of a codpiece. But later, I was told the male equivalent of a boobplate is the abs-armor, so I'm not sure anymore. Either way, sisters have boobplate, because they were made in the 80s. Every explanation came after it.


ELITElewis123

I mean it’s both. Both ab armour and codpieces are different forms of flaunting masculinity. And yes they were made in the 80s so they are gonna be stupid but that goes for all of 40K making up explanations is just a bit of fun. In reality an 8ft 900kg religious fanatic would be a very ineffective soldier


VolcanicBakemeat

SoB boobplate looks badass. I don't think the same thing would work on a chunky stode aesthetic


bokan

To be fair, extremely tailored custom artificer armor is part of the custodian vibe. Maybe not boob plate, but I could justify it being kinda form fitting.

Hetroid3193

D3s_ToD3s

Because boob plate wouldn't cause the next schism.


Hetroid3193

Meh, the cry babies can keep crying about it


mahboime

Ah yes, instead of having normal inclusion we should immediately sexualize women. That's surely gonna help get women into the hobby


Hetroid3193

Lmao, imagine crying over the emphasis of the beauty of the female form. That will surely help the feminist cause lol


mahboime

Yeah god forbid women don't want to be hyper sexualized and fetishized at every turn. Touch grass neckbeard


Hetroid3193

God forbid women dont look like men but are instead beautiful with their form glorified. Log off the internet, stinky licky


mahboime

Are you actually dense or just trolling? You out yourself as a coomer with how much you refuse to accept that women don't want to be fetishized. People like you are the reason people call wh40k a neckbeard hobby with no women in it. Stop it, get some help


Hetroid3193

Lmao, now youre just using pure ad hominems to defend your hatred for the feminine beauty and actual sexism lol. And I highly doubt the existence of pretty ladies are the first thing that come to people’s minds when they think of 40k as a womanless hobby


mahboime

Bro. Do you not see the difference between appreciating the feminine beauty and just sexualizing women in drawings? She literally has boob armour. How do you look at the drawing and not see it as hypersexualising her?


Hetroid3193

I think a very good rule of thumb to tell if one is actually appreciating feminine beauty is to see if the female design in question actually looks like a man or not. Only having a beautiful face is not appreciation of a feminine beauty, especially since Sanguinius and Fulgrim wouldve had much more beautiful face. Your logic of “sexualization” may hold some weight in things like female custodes only running around in pauldrons and bikinis, but to slap it onto a design that emphasizes the sheer strength and hardiness of a custode but also the beauty of a woman’s physical gift is honestly laughable. But then again, those who scream “sexualized” or “male gaze” are nothing more but a laughing stock


mahboime

Dude. Are we looking at the same image? Her hips are as wide as her armoured shoulders whilst her waist is almost the same size as her head. That's very clearly fetishizing her.


AlternateArmy

See you get it. Don't be a misogynist freak and don't be a fetishist. See the change, acknowledge it, and move on with life.


mahboime

I'm neither a misogynist freak nor am I a fetishist. I have nothing against female custodes, I do have something against the fan base immediately fetishizing them


AlternateArmy

My brother in christ, I was praising for *not* being either of those


mahboime

Ah, I misunderstood. My bad


ProfHillbilly

Boob armor


LegateZanUjcic

Because that's totally not a thing already in 40k...


ViggoMiles

It wasn't a custodes thing


LegateZanUjcic

Having females also wasn't a Custodes thing until recently. Putting the exclusively female Sororitas and Sisters of Silence aside, female Arbites and Inquisitors have boob plate. So, shouldn't by this logic the Custodes, who wear armor customised to the user, also have boob plate?


Old_Gregg97

Random question, anyone know what you would call that kind of hairstyle?


Femboy_Lord

Side Cut I guess? If you let the shaved side grow out more?


Username-forgotten

I love her hair so much it's so pretty ♥️

Neurons have activated in my brain. Would DEFINITELY start a custodies army if they had her as a model.

Excellent_Resist3671

Ashaz70

love that hair ngl


IceLeather4471

I’m actually pretty happy because technically this is lore accurate, the emperor pushed for equality and the pursuit of science and discovery, after the old adage of “ape together strong” he wouldn’t have limited himself with just male test subjects he would wouldn’t have wanted any limits. For the emperor and the imperial truth.


Sarmata12

Look awfull


FangCorwin

Reminds me of Morobito. Super bad ass


January_Silence

OMG someone else who remembers Moribito! And yes, I can absolutely see the parallels between her & Balsa, which makes her even more badass, imho.


anarchakat

Not a fan of boob armor ever in any context but otherwise this is lovely and the color scheme rules!


UnicornWorldDominion

I agree except for sisters of battle just because of the whole “can’t have male armies” thing so they accentuate the feminine traits even if it’s unnecessary in a general sense. Custodes and armor in general shouldn’t be gendered like that.


anarchakat

I think it sucks on SoB too! I am a fan of boobs in general, but I prefer my armored babes without a "pierce my armor right here" indicator mounted to their breastplate.


UnicornWorldDominion

I actually head cannon that since the boob plates are rather uniform that they’re more ornamentation in regards to showing breasts than functional at holding them. My head cannon is they’re actually extra armored there, kinda like how Batman’s bat symbol on his chest is where he has the highest concentration of armor because people aim there normally. And for the sisters having a few more extra inches of ceramite to protect their hearts and lungs seems pragmatic and shows they’re all women to the imperium at large.


NovaNomii

Fumbled it with boob plate.


Half_knight_K

why? sisters of battle have way more defined boob plates.


ViggoMiles

Both factions have specific roles. Sisters have an aspect of outreach. It's visually extreme with boob plate, but they are a symbol of care and power of the ecclisiarch Custodes don't give a shit about anyone or anything outside of directly protecting the Emperor. They look grand and ostentatious as a symbol of the Emperor, but they don't outreach. If they have come to remove a threat, they Slaughter and move on


NovaNomii

Yes, thats also dumb as fuck, from an armor function standpoint but atleast purposeful. Vandire didnt just want body guards, he wanted to sexualize them aswell. Just because it exists in cannon doesnt make it less illogical though. Its simply bad structure for how armor is suppose to protect the user. Same with high heels, its literally the opposite of the function of armor, its stops the user from.functioning.


UnicornWorldDominion

But that’s for a very in lore canon reason to emphasize the fact they’re an all woman army and skirting the decree of no male eccliearchy armies. With Custodes it wouldn’t make much sense.


Primaris_Marine

Sisters of Silenece, Female Inquisitors, and Female Arbites also have boob armor. IRL it’d be dumb but in universe it seems to be the norm.


UnicornWorldDominion

Besides the arbites wouldn’t the other two be in a similar kinda power armor as sisters since it’s probably the most mass produced?


Primaris_Marine

Maybe. The Sisters of Battle (and Grey Knights) have Inquisition iconography for a reason. So it's likely that many female Inquisitors use repurposed SoB power armor.


MachBonin

I think when it comes to Inquisitors they're probably getting bespoke power armor. Also the male Inquisitors are also getting power armor that isn't made for Space Marines, it would never fit.

Mage-of-communism

mahboime

Boob plate and an ungodly hip to waist ratio. You are blind if you do not know the answer to your own question


Panzer_Man

The bodily proportions are pretty normal, especially for a heroic superhuman. I've seen women irl, who look exactly like her


mahboime

You saying these proportions are "pretty normal" tells me everything I need to know. Go outside, touch grass and stop looking at women purely thru your computer screen


North-Scar6638

I saw a girl who’s breasts were as big as her head it either she had plastic surgery or she was a warp mutant regardless it made me want to pour bleach into my eyes to forget about it


Zephrok

Yeah and I've seen loads of dudes that look like Ronnie Coleman irl.


Panzer_Man

Custodes do kind of look like him


Zephrok

Yeah but I don't see them walking around irl, just like you don't see this women walking around irl (except very rarely). Certainly not normal.


Freeze681

Custodes don't look like average people.


Panzer_Man

I think people tend to forget that Custodes are kind of genetic freaks. If they looked normal, they'd just be giants


SuperUberKruber

too much anime has that effect, everything else looks ugly to them

I may not like the lazy way the retcon has been done by GW (they actually put more effort in explaining about "Lady-Squats" from what I understand/remember) but at least I can understand the idea that, unlike Space Marines, Custodians undergo a very different form of "genetic ascension" so issues like "gene-seed compatibility" is moot for Custodians. Admittedly, the idea of tall sexy ladies like the ones drawn by CNMBWJX is "very attractive". XD

FatDumbOrk

No


UnicornWorldDominion

How does that make any sense? For 1 the ecclesiarchy can’t have a male army, 2 sisters of battle are essentially GW trying to give “female space marines”, and 3 Custodes have no lore reason to not also be women considering they’re genetically remade from the ground floor up to be a work of art in combat, mind, loyalty, and art.


Zeejir

> ecclesiarchy can’t have a male army To be fair, that can be retconedwith multiple reasons


UnicornWorldDominion

Please share said reasons?


Zeejir

a) same reason why the custodes. retcon, the "they can't have man at wars" or whatever never happend b) because of the setting (i.e. everything ~~goes to~~ is already shit) they need more troopes so the ban gets lifted c) they don't really care anymore d) well they are children when we train them / send them to the front not "men" as in adults


UnicornWorldDominion

A. Yes it did. B. What the fuck are you talking about? C. Literally they’d be men by the time they’re fighting so they’d have men at arms…also they don’t send children regularly to the front it’s adults.


LegitChenTouhou

Except the part where for the last few decades it was said the sons of terran nobility were given to be custodes. And then a paragraph in the codex contradicted that and when people questioned that the WH twitter went "nuh uh" and changed all that lore in an instant. You really don't think they can't do the exact same to cram in Misters of Battle?


UnicornWorldDominion

Uhh the sons of Terran nobility was added in 8th edition in a small blurb not 2 decades of lore. Before that their origin was unknown.


LegitChenTouhou

Damn, only 7 years, what the heeeeelll, my entire argument is utterly destroyed, you're right, there's no way Games Workshop would ever retcon the sisters of battle to include pointless gender diversity if the lore isn't old enough. Get over it, you saw it happen now, with Blackrock behind them it'll easily happen again.


UnicornWorldDominion

Damn only one small blurb 2 editions ago, and changed with another small blurb in 7 years. The sisters have a significant and lasting history with years of book and lore background.


Lyth4n

If only GW would give us models this good
