Subject: Re:Tongue in cheek: GW may be suing Marvel soon.
To true, Marvel would rip them a new one and they know it. GW is like a schoolyard bully, always picking on the weak. I would love to see them try to take on someone whom could actually defend themselves.
As to the suit, thats a classic Termie suit if i saw one. All it needs now is a couple of thousand and a stormbolter

Disney has more lawyers than GW has employees. They keep them caged in cells below Disney World. They feed them raw meat and the scraps of small companies that dared to oppose the Mouse.

True, I wouldn't be suprised if Disney buys out Warhammer 40k from Games Workshop in the next decade or two and introduces, the Empress and female marines...

Milk money off Warhammer 40k and Fantasy that Games Workshop isn't. Change business model, make movies and video games instead war games and move the war gaming online.

Oh,even better, if Disney buys GW, then we can finally see which Emperor would win! Star Wars Emperor Palpatine or 40K's Emperor of Man? Fight!
Honestly, I would file "Disney buys GW" in the category of being a Good Thing™.

You'll be sending them your resume to hopefully become their new writer, right? If not, give it to me and I'LL send it to them....that was quite entertaining.
Reality is a nice place to visit, but I'd hate to live there.

I actually wonder if it is a robot, rather than a suit.

Then how does he fit his arms through the shoulders, when they are at the level of his ears?

If it follows the comics, his head is not necessarily in the 'helmet' section. The hulk buster suit wraps around the ironman suit and interfaces with its systems.
