    There were in fact female Space Marines in the first editions/Rogue Trader btw. The lore change was based on limitations in early production, which is obvious because the lore reasoning is fucking stupid.

      I mean it’s not “fucking stupid” to write sci Fi biology to require some arbitrary thing, it’s just unnecessary.

      Like you could write a book about wizards right now that states “magic is stored in the balls” and we’ll, that’s your lore. It’s a decision that doesn’t appeal to the modern world, and I think it’s bad writing.

      But like, it’s all made up. I’m happy they are updating the lore, female custodes looks bad ass and reminds me of Brianne of tarth (spelling) and she was a cool character.

      Getting mad they changed something is hilarious, and those voices will fadr away

      That’s why the fan explanation of “Big E thought girls were icky” is so much better

      Warhammer players claim that the female body is not strong enough to withstand the physical changes involved in the initiation process. This is a clue to the fact that most Warhammer players have no idea how pregnancy works.
