Since Big E did such extensive body work on each Custodes I could see GW modeling each one as essentially genderless. Even when the character was in robes she didn’t have a feminine body shape. This also gives them a retcon gateway if they just say every one of his Custodes is made in a way that defies our natural biology.
I mean that was kind of always a thing for Custodes.
Astartes are mass produced thanks to geneseed and a "jobs a good un" deal but each Custodian is a work of art using science and bioalchemy lost to the rest of humanity, for a good reason as the Custodes show.
While Astartes are transhuman, they're still close to what many normal humans would be just extra while the Custodes are utterly beyond human. Rebuilt from the ground up to make them into something entirely new rather than just molded as an Astartes is.

It is actually kinda fitting that Custodes are so alien that calling them human is a vague term at best.
I mean if Custodes are made from infants of nobility and houses had given some of their daughters as "sons", Custodes may have not given a damn about it as they were only concerned that it was a healthy body, survived and noble houses obligations were met.
Heck, they should have gone really creepy with this line of thought: Master of Mankind guarded by abominations and crafted things that are farthest from humanity.
When I saw Bullet Tithe in brought back some fun old memories. I used to play an RPG called SLA Industries, which was basically about a media driven universe where televised mass murderers had to seek corporate sponsors in order to help cover their costs, including a Bullet Tax.

That got a second edition recently, with a lot of the skubby stuff excised apparently.
I love hearing about old obscure RPGs still kickin!
I should say obscure in Canada- I was also a HUGE fan of Kult by Metropolis games- Swedish I think. It's 2nd ed cleaned up mechanics... but also lost some of the edgier content that made the first edition utterly horrifying with the right group of people.
It was the best game I ever GMed at the convention level. I wish I had audio recordings of those sessions- they were that scary.

Third edition Kult is Powered By The Apocalypse, and that system still confuses the hell out of me. It has dialled the edgy content back up though, and the Kickstarter had to throw out an add-on featuring the art that had to be censored or cut from the retail version.

Yeah, all that plus actual dramatic camera angles and sound - or lack of it, in places - on the action scenes, and

How exactly, as a subscriber it says I am able to order from today but there is no actual button to add it to cart on either the Warhammer +or GW store site?

Make sure you're actually logged into your account. It should then enable as long as you've paid for the annual subscription up front. If you're on monthly you have to wait until the end of the subscription.
Aye, am both logged in and have paid for my year in advance. I just get no actual purchase button on the site. Please excuse the pictures rather than screenshots I just do not log into GW via my phone:

The purchase button is there on last years minis:
i think it's an issue of when you subscribed. my initial subscription was in june of year 2, so i could order the current minis, but had to wait to get last year's until my subscription renewed. and now, i can order the year 3 minis (been forgetting to do so), but not the year 4, because my subscription was for the last subscription window. it's a bit annoying but i understand why it happens that way

i have played games of the current edition
You also need to log onto the Warhammer+ account and select which of the two you want for free. It should appear as an option when you sign in.
A few minutes after selecting the model you should be able to add it to your cart for free on the Warhammer store and pay for the second model is desired.
It's a fluffing archaic system of doing things, whoever designed this way of ordering the mini needs a few more lessons in interface design and whatnot, took me a while to figure out again as well.
I've been trying to order. After fething around a bit to select it on My Warahmmer, I was finally able to add it to my cart. But every time I go to Checkout, the page fails to load properly.
Whoever built their site needs to be drawn and quartered. Or at least sent back to web design class.

"back to web design class" implies they even had formal education on the subject to begin with. I'm not so sure.
For a company so focussed on making as much money as possible, they sure seem to want to make it difficult for customers to actually find and pay for their products through their own store..!

I believe the Warhammer+ minis come with free shipping if ordered on their own, I think when I added extra stuff to the order I then started getting charged for shipping until I reached the free shipping threshold.
I'm in a slightly annoying situation with the free miniature, at the end of year one I changed from monthly to yearly billing and rather than just charging me the yearly rate at my next renewal they refunded me for the last few days of monthly billing and charged me for the upcoming year, but it means my yearly billing date falls just a few days before the point it needs to to get the free mini straight away and I have to wait the year and pay for the next year to get the previous years free mini! Doesn't seem to be a way to switch back to monthly billing for a month to get the dates fixed and wary of cancelling and resubscribing in case that messes up the free mini.

Are you using mobile or computer? I have never been able to checkout on my phone at all, had to switch to my desktop. I think the website really hates phones. Nearly as much as it hates customers...
