My 9 year old was building and painting his First Strike set with the easy build Reiver and Intercessor models and he says: "Dad! I think one of my marines is a heretic!"

In surprise I responded: What makes you think one of them is a heretic?

Son: Well I was painting this Reiver, and all the other Intercessors and Reivers have purity seals on their armor, but look! this guy doesn't!

Me: Hmm... you're right, no seal. Perhaps it was knocked off in combat, but either way I suspect the Inquisition is going to want to have a talk with this guy

Son:

I'm proud.

That's adorable.

Man, sucks to be the new guy in the squad fresh out of the clone tanks or whatever. You gotta give them time to earn those battle honors before branding them a heretic.

The kid also likes my Commissar waaay too much. Today he laughed out roleplaying saying: "Guardsman, You don't realize it, and I'm very sorry to have to tell you this, but you harbor a genestealer infection. NOW YOU DIE! *BOOM*"

Pre-teens are brutal
