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.

Yeah. It's like, she's screaming shrilly about Space Marines, and how it reinforces the ideals of a totalitarian state, and I just want to write her a scathing email explaining that it's a parody. The Imperium is sort of the embodiment of what happens when a populace just unthinkingly listens to their government.

It almost seems like he doesn't even realize that this is a game that was made specifically for adults.

What a concept.

What the feth??!?!?!

does she even know who plays 40k???

/uber sigh.

I cant possibly see this not being satire.

/shrug

I attempt to disbelieve.

Actually, I have a lot of sympathy for the sentiment in this webpage, particularly:
What is not explained, is what is so good about having unwavering faith in the Emperor? Why would anyone want to do that? What's so hot about the Emperor that you'd give up your own one-time-only life, as a unique irreplaceable human being, and instead of exploring the world and enjoying life you shut off your brain and become the extension of somebody else's will.

Really, open your eyes people, dont blindly follow the emperor's mandates - Rebel against the oppression and rage against the Machine Spirit.

Consider giving up on this mind control, and enjoying the freedoms, liberty, and ability to choose that comes with dedicating your souls to the chaos gods.

Tzeentch - Change you can believe in.

Is there a forum, or an email contact for this guy? We should troll him about Chaos marines. Quick, someone send them a (scanned) copy of Realms of Chaos.

The human race is doomed because we've eliminated natural selection. This is written by one of the stupid people that would not be able to survive on their own if the rest of the world wasn't supporting them. If only the Emperor was real, so we could kill undesirable genetic mutations like this idiot and preserve quality human DNA for the good of all mankind.

In the USA, you need a license to vote, a license to drive, even a license to own a car. But there are ZERO qualifications to have children; the greatest responsibility a person can have. Go figure.

Please enjoy this rant with a sense of irony and a grain of salt.

I thought this article was from the poor man's version of the Onion. Just priceless.

There was a female adventurer "space marine" that was a total joke and was introduced as such.
But yeah, you are right that things were different.

Ah yes, the Old World according to Konrad and 40k according to Jaq Draco, those were good times.

The true irony is that Warhammer isn't aimed at children. Although judging by the size of the people in my LGS.....I can't tell anymore.

I don't want to get into the bad politics or theory of this website. That should be pretty obvious. However "It's only possible for the other guy to be the bad guy, it's never us, only them. Right?" Doesn't the author know in the 41st millennium that everyone is the bad guys (except my beloved Salamanders, of course)? After sifting through some of the other content I have decided that this is either a great parody or Dale Gribble's personal site. Either way, it reminds me of my run ins with a certain political cult in college. Good Times. Great find Salvation!

It's science fiction, stop being the defender of all that's Fething good and righteous.

There ARE angels of death in the Bible. Go look it up.

Still though, we should send them something like Realm of Chaos.

Send him Daemonettes. 'Ohmigawd the goverment is teaching is to want women with bizzare and mutated bodies please help!'

Maybe this isn't as stupid as we think. Maybe, this was written with the intent to viciously troll Warhams players.
I request an Orkmoticon of an ork wearing a tinfoil hat

send them one of the liber chaotica

How about sending them the Imperial Infantryman's Uplifting Primer. "See they print actual propaganda for the children!"

Remember Kids, if you find a ORC in REAL LIFE clap and make loud noises! He'll be so confused, you can beat him to death with your Uplifting Primer. Remember to roll above 4+, otherwise you'll whiff your only melee attack, though, and then epic fail like that person's blog.

Well its plainly obvious from the wording the article is not a religious piece, Most likely a PC extremist instead of a God nut.
Nip that one in the bid before we get the usual kneejerk of 'all them Christians be here to ruin our gaming' I see so often on wargamer boards.

It could be satirical but good satire gives away the game at some point showing the article is comical, often subtle hints such as watermarks; but it is possibly written by a 'comic' with no idea of fools licence.


There are plenty of people religious or otherwise you have a low moral opinion of 40K especially, they are not entirely wrong. Much of the 40K background is too dark for the market the game is presented for.
Just imagine what mixed signals people would get if there was a cartoon for 40K (not inconceivable of itself allowing for the target age group).... and the Witchhunters were portrayed according to the codex.
Religious fanatic bondage girls with two handed chainsaws is not certificate U material.

I do know GW corporate wanted GW studio to rebrand Dark Elves as they were afraid of parental reactions, but GW studio stood their ground and said that this is how the Dark Elves should be.

I feel dirty for playing 40k. always been bothered by the Grey knights chapter .....they are chapter triple 6

Pttthhhhh

She needs to work harder. Come on, I mean she is only regurgitating garbage that other, truly, crazies are spouting off. Nothing really original besides the 40k stuffs. Lightweight doesn't even have any Jewish Hollywood/Bank Control that I saw. (I am a Portal of Evil vet, this is tame). And there are in no way enough GIFs.

A dash of 911 conspiracy, a sprinkle of NWO, and some Vaccine garnish. Its standard fare, though I particularly enjoyed the GW bit.

GW should hammer her for the improper use of the images. So I helped it along and forwarded the page to GW Legal, though I have kinda violated the PD on this one for it. Satire, funny, or whatever, it hurts the hobbies image at a time when it really doesn't need any help doing it (Prices and such).

That request is seconded, and its overflowing with Win.

If memory serves me wasn't Azrael an angel in the bible? Or was he a Fallen Angel I'm not sure I never could read that book.

Well any who, that was a fine good laugh, wouldn't think to much into it Brothers and Sisters. Oh wait yeah, if you turn from our awesome dead guy on a throne I'll have to kill you. Why? Because I'm the good guys and I have been psycho-conditioned to think that way.

Re. Phelps.

Here is a guy that inrolled at the University of Bob Jones....and failed!!

The University of Bob Jones!?.....and failing!

My goodness what a nut case.
The whole 'brainwashing' thing to make us want to be soldiers Has s/he seen the typical wargamer? I would say theres more need for physical conditioning than mental

Imagine innocent kids looking at that page - "Look at this cool stuff; men in power armour and death and skulls and spikes and heresy! Hell that looks great where do I sign on?"

I'd say send the Tau Codex. A book about Commie training would likely send'em over the edge.

I want to know where the rant against the child's card game "Fish" is?

I mean isn't that another case of [insert card game publisher here] actively trying to condition children for a welfare state?

"Have you got a...?"

Cheers
