Warhammer 40k adds female Custodes to the Emperor’s army

Warhammer 40,000 is a beloved sci-fi franchise that, unlike other space drama IPs like Star Wars and Star Trek, looks at the concept of hope and laughs. Tragic and “grimdark” before this term was cool, Warhammer 40k is set in a future where humanity first conquered the stars and then, collapsing under the weight of its own pride and the dark influence of evil forces beyond reality, retreated into an age of decadence and constant warfare against alien threats and demonic foes. With a setting like that, you would think gender would be the last thing on everyone’s minds, but not this time.
