The original article suggested that gw was brainwashing helpless childen into psycopaths. Not that I disagree about parental guidance either. The recent backgound has become very bleak and adult-orientated, which suits me fine, but just today I removed my daemons book from the hands of my son because i don't consider it suitable.

I don't think gw's games are suitable for young children. But for teenagers, the suggestion that it is brainwashing them due to mature elements is preposterous.

^agreed.

Won't you take me to (dun-dun-dun) crazy town?

Well, Grey Knights do have a psychic power called 'Holocaust'...

Regardless of the alternative meaning it's got some pretty heavy connotations to the word, it's not a particularly appropriate name for an ability. And yeah, it's absolutely in there.

Best just leave it.  There is no way to have a constructive dialogue with a person who expresses their opinion in that fashion.

Space marines ARE 'evil' the entire 40k universe if horrible given our current understanding of 'good' and 'evil' and that's why i like it.  I don't thing kids are going to realise that The Imperium is an utterly ****** up insitution through and through but I didn't realise that until at least my late teens.  These day's it's why i like the 40k background so much' it's all shades of grey as opposed to good versus bad.
Anyhow...GW is primarily a marketing machine and i don't think they'd make much cash if they tried selling Fascist Mind Wiped Marines instead!

I looked at the Google page ... The articles about the Pentagon creating soldiers into mindless killing machines and using drugs to numb soldiers to the horrors of war are laughable   ...  Obviously written by people who have never been soldiers ...
