It wouldn't be that expensive for GW to make (have someone else make) a range of chocolate figures for xmas, maybe one from every codex with a few extras thrown in, with maybe fondant fillings and a small gift....

I could just want my dinner here, but I think it's a fab idea.

**Ghost in the Darkness**

You could do a simple SM hollow Marine. The only problem with the idea is it doesn't fit into their business plan, or their market.

Chocolate Great Unclean Ones.

Ugh.

Crunchy Frog?

Nice Idea,but:
1)Where would the metal bits go?
2)Would it fit together?(No!)
3)How much would it cost?
4)How long for the codex?
5)What upgrades?
6)Will it be milk chocolate for the Imperium and Dark
for Chaos?
7)Can you intermix parts from other chocolates?
8)And lastly,if you eat too much,will you need a blast
template and scatter dice when you go to the loo?

**Valhallan42nd**

Imagine playing a tourney where one had to eat what they killed. I'd play guardsmen and send my opponantss into sugar shock.

someone is obviously a scrooge, with no Christmas spirit. You need to watch more Christmas movies, until your attitude adjusts..

**Slipstream**

Bah Humbug and other things in oldey worldy
nonsense!Plenty of Christmas spirit here,there,
a wee bit over there Hic!

**Lorek**

Good idea, but the releasing agent would taste TERRIBLE.

**Death By Monkeys**

Mmmm...I wants me a chocolate Land Raider. With raspberry and marshmallow filling.

**Strangelooper**

How about Sisters of Batter?

Made with peanuts and candy corn!

I ran a Weird War II d20 adventure and used Starbursts to represent he 'mook' German Soldiers. You get a kill, you get to eat them. My friends still refer to starbursts as 'Dead Germans.'

Oo! Oo! do an CSM advent calendar! every day, you unwrap a new chocolate psychotic killing machine with oversized shoulderpads covered in spikes!

**WaaaaghLord**

new plastic gargant?

**Lumisc**

mmm chocolate mmm

**Steelmage99**

Wouldn't you get really sticky fingers when you removed the mouldlines?

**Robert Facepalmer**

For what it is worth, GWUK did do an advent calendar two (three?) years back.

Not really much to report about as the chocolates were generic.

Besides, would you really want a chocolate bald screaming Hurr Marine head? (now a 'chocolate' or whatever the Cadian version of it would be from an appropriate MRE would be funny...)

**wuestenfux**

I would like to have a chocolate Land Raider.

**somecallmeJack**

mmm... chocolate. on second thoughts, screw chocolate, I want to see a range of GW race-specific T-shirts.

**Imperial**

mmmmmm chocolate ghazkull taste fantsatic and I wouldn't mind eating a chocolate genestealer
"oh no my stomach doesn't feel good I think I will let out an apocalypse blast template if I keep eating"

**Paul Atreides**

You know one time GW had the Idea of running the epic stompa mould in plastic. I dont think they ever did it.

"choclate stompa /simpsonglargrgrgahhhsound/"

**Mad Doc Grotsnik**

Well, it's not even been made, but frankly I damn well demand an FAQ on the Tournament legal method of consumption.

I don't want someone beating me because of his wrapper folding technique!

Honestly, GW really are bastards.

**Deadshane1**

Put them right next to the M&M's, I can see it now....

"M&M's 8oz - $ .89"
"Chocolate Space Marines 6oz - $5.95"

I lol'd so hard I snorted.

If they ever did somehting like this, I'd be pissed if they didn't do the "Chocolate Women of the Adeptus Astartes" or "Chocolate Zombies with Sacks that count as Marshmallow Orks" sets...

I'll wait for the Forgeworld variants.

Milk Chocolate and Macadamia Nut IG. - $39.95 for one.......and you have to melt the chocolate and mold your own.

**adamsouza**

Seriously, unless they were mass produced by an established candy powerhouse, they would cost more than GW models..

You could buy some foodsafe silicone mold material for about $50 and make your own. If my FLGS hadn't just closed down, I might have just tried it for giggles.

If I could find some edible paint, these would be epic.

**lord_blackfang**

I suggested WARMUNCHIE as the next Privateer Press game ages ago.
