**Mr. Self Destruct**

I guess something about ComicCon 2011.

**Kanluwen**

It's because of Comic-Con. They just Googled and took the first picture they could find, probably.

**A Black Ram**

.......Whert?

**Aerethan**

Does GW even do Comic-Con?

**Kanluwen**

Not likely, but THQ might be there.

More likely, as I said, they just ran Google and picked the first image they could find.

**MisterMoon**

Update: This just in, GW is suing CNN for copyright violations...

Or most pic-worthy.

However, I googled comicon, and I would have picked this:

Edit to not make this thread turn into that OTHER thread.

And who says Nerds don't get hot chicks.

**AgeOfEgos**

The link made me laugh;

Mandela---World renowned anti-apartheid activist, former President
President Obama---Current President of the United States
The pinnacle of human achievement--the Space Shuttle
Razgor Choppahead---Current Waagh Leader Sector Obscurus

/I wonder if I can get my wife to dress up like Malf's pic

**Happygrunt**

Wow... those are nice.... PICTURES! NICE PICTURES! I WAS ONLY LOOKING AT CNN!

A little late for that, dontchathink?

-cue rimshot-

**Goddard**

GW isn't at Comicon, but THQ is. They have the orc, an Ultramarine, and a Chaos Bezerker to advertise the upcoming Space Marine game.

Just because shes at a Con, doesnt mean she would sleep with anyone who attends them. Some people just like attention, and she is bound to get plenty of it looking like that at a Con.

**DX3**

From last year's NY ComiCon.

**malfred**

Holy cow, DX3, you just a kid!

**Grot 6**

Who do we see about those Ork suits?

Is that Latex, or Styro?

**Kirasu**

What.. an article about 40k that DOESNT involve angry mothers spewing rhetoric about demonic worship?!

Well its an article about comic con instead, no mentioning of 40k at all

**infinite_array**

The world 'Warhammer' doesn't even appear in the article.

**Kirasu**

Then this thread is a lie much like the cake

I wish to Christ that the Death Toys article that this references was still around.

Protip: When reading, pretend every instance of PARENTS WITH SMALL CHILDREN actually says CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT.

I skimmed it. All I could think to say to it is the tried and tested meme "lolumad?"

**Monster Rain**

Oh, it's serious all right.

There was a bit of a kerfuffle a few years back when that lady wrote an article about how GW was brainwashing children to be killers. Awesome stuff.

Ugh. Middle aged soccer moms need to get real hobbies...
