There’s no denying the fact thatWarhammer 40kis one of the most unique science fiction universes we’ve ever seen. Overzealous humans are all up fighting for their survival in the dark ages of the far future against a range of deadly aliens and demons.
Fans of this iconic franchise participate in great debates on forums and discussion boards everywhere, disputing which factions are the most powerful and many other things. However, there is a rumor floating around that despite the official introduction, female Custodes aren’t part of theWarhammeruniverse, but the series’ author has finally bunked it.
Female Custodes are a part ofWarhammer 40,000universe
In the galaxy of theWarhammeruniverse, the Imperium of Man depends upon its super soldiers. We have iconic Space Marines, who are gene-crafted and mass-produced, but when there’s a requirement for something specialized, you have Adeptus Custodes.
These powerful soldiers have been a part of the franchise sinceRogue Traderand were originally depicted as being a completely male force. However, the latest 10th-edition codex introduced us to Calladayce Taurovalia Kesh, who uses she/her pronouns.

The introduction of a female Custodes wasn’t receivedthat well. Fans constantly bashed Games Workshop for introducing female Custodes and retconning the existing lore. Some even wondered that such a faction was even needed in the franchise.
However, with the release ofWarhammer 40,000: The Ultimate Guide, many in the community felt that due to Custodes being referred to as“brotherhoods,”Games Workshop might’ve removed female Custodes altogether.
But that’s not the case. Gav Thorpe, one of the authors who worked on the book, was asked onBlue Skyif female Custodes are still a part of the franchise. He confirmed that they’re still a part of the franchise and smashed all rumors surrounding their introduction.
Now that it’s confirmed that female Custodes are here to stay, let’s hope Henry Cavill and his team don’t shy away from bringing them to the highly anticipatedWarhammer 40kshow.

If you’ve forgotten, back in 2022, Amazon MGM purchased the rights to theWarhammer 40kfranchise and its adaptations.Fans were hyped as Cavill was also set to starand produce the series. However, for the next two years, we heard nothing, and it felt like the series wouldn’t make it out of production hell.
However, reports fromDeadlinesuggest that theWarhammer 40kseries is finally in development. Although we still don’t have a name for the showrunner, sources suggest that a mini writers room has been put together to kick off the story development.
Instead of Female Custodes, Henry Cavill’s Warhammer 40K Series Should Bring Back a More Lore-Accurate Female Faction Everyone Respects
Before this, we didn’t exactly know if Amazon’s adaptation would be in the form of a movie or TV show. However, it seems like it will be a full-fledged series.
This exciting news comes right before the deadline given by Games Workshop in its agreement with Amazon, which stated that the two companies must decide on creative guidelines if Amazon wishes to retain rights.
The fact that Cavill is attached to the project is probably the reason why both companies agreed to sort out their differences. He’s been a part of the franchise for a long time, and he’s keen to see it hitting the big screens.
With that said, are you happy to see that female Custodes are confirmed to be a part of theWarhammeruniverse? Let us know in the comments below.
