This cannot be serious. I refuse to accept it. Oh dear god it is.

Can someone like, contact GW for this guy using their website's images? Surely they would fire something angry off at this person.

Don't you just love it when conspiracy theorist Americans grab hold of British stuff - I mean, the NWO, genetic mutilation and such forth is all well and good, but come on... it is a fantasy setting with no basis on reality. Anyone who cannot accept this does not deserve to have their opinion listened to.

On further reading, I think he's missed the "future" bit here - and the sci fi setting.

EDIT: Oh, and he seems to have missed the fact that it is a toy models company, not the US Government. Unless JJ works for Obama...

He's a Heretic! Send in the Inquisition! Seriously, this guys got a nut or two loose. There are so many loopholes in the rules and fluff of 40k that I could never use it as a blueprint for going to war. Besides, I don't have power armor OR thunder hammers. Someone should clue in GW (TM) so they can send in their legions of genetically altered lawyers (TM) and clean house for the greater good (TM)

I'm pretty sure this isn't the case, as GW is setting its profit margin to high. Now if they actually start "making" money, then Obama will be calling JJ.

Dude! I love this, thanks for the link. This will be an entertaining read until my woman gets home.

Edit: As I read through this I'ma add some funny things.

The first thing: The guy in that mural looks more like a Guardsmen than anything else.
I notice that not many world leaders are as snazzy as the emperor. No sweet hats or hair dos. And the only one with a sweet hat is hella old.
Never actually seen a kill team. Kill Team games are played player with Kill team versus a bunch of mooks right?
When children think of cities, they SHOULD think of them as great places to hide out to kill everyone they can find

I lol'd hard.
A HERETIC! OH SHI-

Well kids, good read. But I'm not worried about the children here. You can't buy super glue until your like some age right? So they will be grown enough to understand or shrug this off if they want by the time they can actually put the models together.

Yet another misconception. The Phelps clan is a tort trolling scam. They roll into town, pick a fight, and then sue over it. Rinse, and repeat.

I blame George W. Bush.

Seriously though I wouldnt think 40k is exactly G, PG, or PG-13 material. The best wargaming with minatures I had when I was a kid was to set up green plastic army men and shoot them with a BB gun; this was fun for about 5 minutes then mom would come out yell at us kids because the BBs are bouncing off the plastic tank into the windows on the house. So what was the next best thing. Getting a shovel full of a fire ant mound and running to another mound and dumping.(Talk about a fearless red army). That was the best what we had back in the day. Then Gee Dubyah had to come along and ruin all of our minds. I miss those good ole days.

Forever alone

You should have seen 40K when it started. That was really goofy but a lot more mature and dark as well. Space Marines (there were female ones!) were brainwashed killing machines instead of monks and the fluff for Slaanesh had his warriors raping people in his name. Awesome stuff. It's all happy and padded nowadays.

People are like dice, a certain Frenchman said that. You throw yourself in the direction of your own choosing. People are free because they can do that. Everyone's circumstances are different, but no matter how small the choice, at the very least, you can throw yourself. It's not chance or fate. It's the choice you made.
