A ‘woke‘ gender row has broken out among Games Workshop fantasy fans after women were added to an army squadron for the first time.
Bosses behind the Warhammer game have introduced a female character to one of its most popular table-top battalions whose devotees include film star Henry Cavill.
But some men are furious at the move, insisting that the ‘Adeptus Custodes’ brigade has always been all-male and any changes should have been done differently.
The company was directly questioned on X, formerly Twitter, by a follower asking: ‘Why did you make female custodes?’
The official Warhammer account responded by posting: ‘Since the first of the Ten Thousand were created, there have always been female Custodians.’
