The whole stuff is super hilarious to me because the lore changes ALL the time with constant rewrites, retcons and whatnot since the second edition decades ago.
Remember Squats who is rewritten to become the Leagues of Votann? or Leman Russ being an ordinary Space Marine in the 1st edition?.
Also calling GW greedy solely because female Custodes is just peak tourist behavior to me.
Like holy shite people who actually in the hobby even a little knew this already since a long time ago.
I weep for AdMech players every day.
Admittedly the way GW handled it could be better, but this is a company who let Matt Ward under their employment, so competence aren't their strong suit.
Ultimately IT DOES NOT MATTER like the person above me said.
FemCustodes would probably be retconned in 10 years or so because GeeDubs wanted to cut corners not sculpting new models for them.
