Between my partner and I we have 6 kids ranging in age from 18 to 2 years. The 14, 11 and 9 year olds have a general interest in my 'little plastic men' and i've have small skrimish type games of NetEpic with them which they seemed to enjoy, but they have yet to discover the opposite sex (thank god!) and i'm sure the interest they show is only out of good manners ;o)

"You smell dat? Do you smell dat? Napalm, son. Nofing else in da galaxy smells like dat. I love da smell of napalm in da morning. You know, one time we had a hill bombed, for twelve hours. When it was all over I walked up. We didn't find one of 'em, not one stinkin' 'ummie body. Da smell, you know dat gasoline smell, da whole hill. Smelled like... victory."

Two boys, coming up on 7 and 5, both have shown an interest, and have played Star Wars Miniatures with me, the eldest has played two games of 40K and loves it.

He's getting a fully painted 1000pt Necron army for Christmas this year, as he 's always going about Undead and robots.

I have an 18 month old.

He desperately wants to play with daddy's toys and throws a tantrum when I take them away from him when he sneaks up to the table and snatches them off.

So, in response, I designated 15 minutes after dinner each time to be "play with daddy's Black Reach Terminators time."

He sits in his high chair and slides them around on the table, sometimes crashing them into each other, while going "Pew pew! Bow bow! (insert strange explosion sounding noise)"

The Forgeworld Battlesuits though, those are off limits....

And by God, those are the ones he really wants....

Two girls, 13 and 11...Had to convince the older one that it was a type of barbie fashion model game, but with guns and explosions. She plays Dark Eldar.

the 11 Year old just loves anything that explodes, imaginary or not (daddy's little girl) ....just the idea of explosions and death and doom and exploding deathly doom are enough for her. She plays anything that she can get her hands on and makes other things explode

I have an 8 year old that is painting SM and Orks. We have a blast playing intense story driven games. I have a 6 year old that reads books for 4th graders. The 8 year old and I have tried to get him to play, but he just loves his books. I should be so lucky. I hope they both play and read, am I asking too much?

Lots of people have Kids at young ages. They just tend to drop out of education.

Your interest should stay that way, trust me.


No kids, but on another note(the quote response) I did drop, but for reasons i truely regret and sadly dont have the money to go back.

On the other hand!
I have already decided that from the time I do eventually get a wife and we procreate, the kid will be influenced by Warhammer40k.
The bedtime stories will be the stories of the universe of 40k.
I will probably change my mind and let the kid decide when (s)he is old enough.(only other choice I can think of)
