Urge Games Workshop to Stop Gaslighting Fans and Reinstate Male-Only Custodians

The Issue

As a lifelong fan of Warhammer 40k, I have always found solace and joy in the rich, imaginative universe that Games Workshop has created over the past 30+ years. However, recent changes have left many fans like me feeling ignored and disrespected. We are calling on Games Workshop to cease gaslighting their fan base and bring back male-only custodians and cease the notion that female custodians have always existed. This orwellian esoteric concept of just shoehorning female custodians into the lore and stating "they have always been around for 10,000 years", yet have never been mentioned in literature art nor media is a disgrace to the franchise. 


The company's decision to alter the gender dynamics of custodians has been met with widespread disappointment among the community. Many fans feel that this change undermines the lore's established canon without adding any meaningful diversity or representation.

Furthermore, we believe that Games Workshop should focus more on developing Sisters of Silence characters. These female warriors play a vital role in Warhammer lore but have been largely overlooked in recent years and neglected when it comes to there model range.

We understand that change is an integral part of any evolving narrative. Yet, it is crucial for these changes to respect the established lore and meet fans' expectations rather than alienating them. 

By signing this petition, you are standing with countless Warhammer 40k fans who want their voices heard by Games Workshop. Let us work together to preserve what we love about our beloved game while encouraging positive growth within its universe. Warhammer is for everyone, but changing the lore to cater to everyone dilutes its uniqueness and grimdark aspect. Please sign this petition today, for the glory of the God Emperor.
