Wow... I think if I don't think I have ever been that offended by a news article before.

I want to buy 40k, but Gamesworkshop is doing their very best to push me away, and simply not buying their product won't tell them that.

For those not following UK news, it's referring to a trio of would-be terrorists recently convicted who were basically your stereotypical fat, socially awkward nerds except that thruout particular field of interest, instead ofbeing pop culture, was Islamic fundamentalism.

Also, how does one apply to be a member of the Ultramodrines? Are harsh trials involved, ones that would test my faith as a wargamer and resolve as a geek?

Oh no! The Dakka terrorist cell's cover has been blown. And after I spent a fortune on that custom bomb carrier from Battle Foam. I stuffed the sides with bits of old sprue so that when it explodes, I will finally have found a use for the stuff!
