  • Let’s Look at ALL of the Warhammer 40,000 edition starter boxes and paint all of the female miniatures! This journey spans 4 decades and some really cool models :-) These legendary starter kits are foundational to the whole industry!
    From 10 editions of 40k there have been 8 classic starter boxes- Rogue Trader didn’t have a box, and 6th and 7th were both championed by the Dark Vengeance box. These 8 big boxes are absolute classics. They form foundational memories for a lot of us, and the majority of all demo games ever played in the history of Warhammer 40k have been played with minis from these sets. The two factions from these big boxes always become the mascots of the edition, and they get included in a variety of somewhat smaller starter kits at various price points.

      @@GoobertownHobbies ^This. If you're completely new to Warhammer, you have to _know_ that Sisters of Battle or mixed-gender Guard kits exist. Whereas if you know nothing about Warhammer, you can very easily find the 40K starter boxes (or subdivided starter bundles). THESE products are what a person is most likely to see when they think of starting to collect 40K models.
      The fact that the starter boxes haven't had a recognizably female or female-coded model in _over twenty years_ is a problem.
      A woman/girl has a better chance of finding models that she can personally identify with in an Age of Sigmar starter box than a 40K one. Despite 40K being THE most recognizable part of the Warhammer brand.

I know from being the only girl at one point, that coming in to a shop full of dudes can be intimidating.

    I remember discovering 40k because my boyfriend at the time played back in 2009-2010. I used to go to Games Workshop and watch him play. The first time I went in, I felt uncomfortable because there were NO women around, but I ended up making so many friends (one of them even paid for my wedding dress when I got married in 2020, lifelong friends now). I would sit around and build Space Marines for the demo models while everyone played, and then I got a whole box of Tyranids to paint. When I got my wisdom teeth out, I remember begging my mom (under heavy medication and not talking properly) to go to geedubs so I could hang out with the guys. We had a whole audience of people cheering for me when I pit my Nids up against his Kreig army and very nearly won (I did not). That guy and I broke up ages ago, but I'll still treasure all those times. I still have all my Tyranids and definitely miss playing. Your videos bring me joy and I appreciate them so much.

    As fun as the "No Girls Allowed" bit is in this video, there were originally no rules that there couldn't be female Space Marines. There were female Space Marine models in the earliest iteration of the setting, but the boys' club that made up the gaming market didn't buy them, so GW stopped making them.

While Dorn is complaining about how most of the brotherhood of primarchs is such a disagreeable bunch, Malcador just casually mentions how he had advised the Emperor to make the primarchs sisters instead of brothers. Dorn takes it as a joke, but Malcador says he's only partly joking. So, there's your canon excuse for genderbent primarch art, people. It totally could have been a thing.

      Oh my god, I never realized before but this is EXACTLY my issue with them! They have different orders, each of which had a Saint as a founder and a special holy relic, but that mainly just gives them different colour schemes. They don't really have different archetypes and cultures like at least the most popular SM chapters... Possibly because they all seem to share the same relationship with religion. Maybe I'll do a Promethean Cult inspired Sister killteam someday. They could live my Salamanders diorama when I'm not playing. 😊

  • @SockimusPrime
    @SockimusPrime Před 10 měsíci +5

    Having Space Marines as the mandatory poster boys really does make it difficult. It means that no other Imperial faction can be in the start box, so you're stuck with all dudes for at least one half of the box. If you want female models in the other half of the kit, your options are basically Tau, Eldar, Dark Eldar, and Slaanesh. Slaanesh tends to be a little too racy for mass appeal, so I doubt we'll ever see them in a starter box. And Tau and Eldar are maybe a little too clean and "Good-Guy" at least in appearance, meaning they don't offer quite the same contrast with the clean look of Ultramarines.
    So Drukhari really do hard-carry that starter box representation as things stand. Which is unfortunate.

    • @casanovafunkenstein5090
      @casanovafunkenstein5090 Před 10 měsíci +1

      I feel like the best bet for female representation in a starter set would be SOB or some sort of cultist faction (though you'd probably have a bit of a hard time deciding on the makeup of the set in terms of demons, given that you can't really find a convenient middle ground between the different chaos aesthetics in the same way that you can with the CSMs being decked out head to toe in heavy armour. It would also be a bit weird for traitor guard to get women before regular imperial guard. I feel like the biggest challenge with putting guard into a starter box is either having ridiculous amounts of infantry or needing to pack in tanks that usually cost a lot in comparison to the other contents).
      I guess that Custodes could work, given that they can take Sisters of Silence, but I feel like it may send the wrong message if your sole female representation comes from characters who ruin everyone's day with their presence.

    • @Bluecho4
      @Bluecho4 Před 10 měsíci

      Of course, this is a problem that could be solved: make it possible for Space Marines to be women. It's just that easy.

Stealing vehicles from other armies was fun. Too bad orks now have their generic builds shoehorning everything into the same statline. Seems GW is doing a kind of backwards diversity in their stuff.

    I’m in the process of converting an entire army of space marines into an all-female army using 3D printed heads from Etsy. The heads are the only things I’m changing though because let’s be honest, the women would wear the exact same armour as the men. If anything the bulky chestplates that the men have would offer much more protection than perfectly sculpted boob armour

    I started getting back into the hobby at the roll out of AOS. Unlike when I was a teen, I had a partner/ wife who was becoming interested in the hobby after seeing me build models. She got excited and wanted to join in. My teen self couldn't have been more happy with the fact a girl was willing to play Warhammer with me :P
    When looking to build a army and start in the hobby, she did not want to touch 40k based on how "dude bro-eeee" it seemed. She couldn't find a faction/ army that spoke to her. However, she was able to connect with AOS. This was down to the inclusion of female models in the Nighthaunt model line. Sure enough she grabbed a some banshees and Lady Olinder and was hooked. Now she plays Gloomspit Gitz based on how "cute" and "derpy" they are. The fact my partner wants to share in the hobby, makes me so happy. I can't see why others wouldn't want that?
    I am 100% behind the point of this video, great topic to cover. Outside of tournament/ competive players, we all connect with/ choose factions based on athestics, lore, design, representation. We see ourselves in fantasy and can connect with the models we play with. It only makes sense that 40k adapts with the times. At some point the sodgy males in the community will become dads. On average half of them will have daughters. Why wouldn't you want to share this hobby with them?
    Again great vid, keep up the good work.
