I got to this bit.
Fulchester's appearance sealed it. 
Was a worthy shot at an April Fools, so it's all good.

I must admit; I enjoyed the baneing of Kan more than I did the OP.
Still enjoyed it though, so there's that!

The sad thing is that this is completely believable.
And I just noticed the lascannons on the fender. What. That's even worse than the idiots who put their land raider weapons behind the door the space marines jump out, as at least that's optional.

Yes, this one had more of an element of satire/tongue-in-cheek about it. It's not that far fetched, and if it hadn't been for the mention of GW Fulchester and the fact it was written by Kid Kyoto I might well have believed it! As opposed to the last one, which was to do with Abaddon the Despoiler's compound being attacked..?

"But me no buts! Our comrades get hurt. Our friends die. Falkenburg is a knight who swore an oath to serve the church and to defend the weak. He'd be the first to tell you to stop puling and start planning. Because what we are doing-at risk to ourselves-is what we have sworn to do. The West relies on us. It is a risk we take with pride. It is an oath we honour. Even when some soft southern burgher mutters about us, we know the reason he sleeps soft and comfortable, why his wife is able to complain about the price of cabbages as her most serious problem and why his children dare to throw dung and yell "Knot" when we pass. It's because we are what we are. For all our faults we stand for law and light.

Godamnit...
Read the headline and thought "GW actually talking and engaging with their fans and customers? How surprisingly progressive of them". Then started reading the transcript and realised that it was too good to be true after all...

I believe not. I miss those days, when GW did interesting things on their site.

Personally, I think the best part was the suggestion that anyone would actually use a Google+ Hangout...
But seriously(!) great post KK. Very funny...

Nothing to do with it being a mod. We have no problem with April Fools threads that actually have some effort put into them. Just posting a thread title and 'Gotcha!' does not constitute effort.
