WARGAMING & TABLE TOP GAMING

Warhammer fans are buzzing with excitement and controversy over a revelation that's shaking up the lore of the game. In the latest edition of Warhammer 40,000, Games Workshop, the creators of Warhammer, dropped a bombshell: the Adeptus Custodes, those legendary warriors sworn to protect the Imperium, aren't just a boys' club after all. Nope, turns out they've got women fighting alongside the men.

The news hit social media like a warp storm, especially on X (formerly Twitter), where fans are split down the middle. On one side, you've got folks cheering for the inclusion of female Custodians, thrilled to see more diversity in their favorite game. On the other side, there are those who are flipping out, accusing Games Workshop of bowing to "woke" culture and ruining the game's lore.

But let's dig deeper into the drama. Some fans are pointing fingers, saying this move breaks the established canon of Warhammer. They argue that for decades, it's been crystal clear that the Custodes were all male. Now, with this bombshell revelation, it feels like the whole universe is being rewritten.

On the flip side, there are voices saying, "Chill out, it's just a game." They argue that adding female Custodians doesn't mess with the existing story lines or ruin anyone's fun. Plus, they say, it's about time Warhammer caught up with the times and embraced inclusivity.

Underneath all the arguments, though, there's this nagging feeling that some fans just don't want women in their clubhouse. It's like they're putting up a big "No Girls Allowed" sign on the gates of the Imperium.

So, what's the big deal, anyway? Well, beyond the world of Warhammer, this debate touches on bigger issues in the gaming community. It's about representation, inclusivity, and who gets to decide what's "canon" in our favorite fantasy worlds.

As the dust settles on this controversy, one thing's for sure: Warhammer fans won't be putting down their swords anytime soon. Whether you're Team Inclusivity or Team Lore Purist, one thing's certain – the battle for the soul of Warhammer is far from over.

Update time on our map-project!

This time i have added lots of pieces to the forest area (picture 2) there are paths, a clearing and a bandit camp. I have also been printing out the ocean tiles that we just added to the page (picture 3) but im not sure thats were we want a ocean..... what do you think? Maybe we should go for mountains and ice in the north instead?

Basecoat of black then did a drybrush of white.

The idea is to make it look like a "fog of war" on the unexplored places of the map.

Hope that will make the finished painted pieces pop even more!

Im starting with the tile above the text Circus. Im thinkin the story will be about a guardsman at the city gate

Let's build an epic world!

Im making a map, the reason i got a Hexmap system was not only to sell on our page.

It was to create a fantasy world!

But thats not enough.

I want this map to represent a living world,

with its own history, people and monsters living and roaming around in this world, maybe some have set up a home in a town or made a lair in the deep woods.

This is the pieces we have to start with, there are many and depending on how we build up the story of the world it will change and grow over time.

So If you want to take part pick a tile/tiles and write its history, when we are happy with your hex-piece story i will paint it and we will see the world come alive!
