As promised, here we are.

After breaking my back to get these boys finished for the weekend, I finally managed to get my 1500 point DA army complete. Amazingly, this is my first ever fully painted 40K army in nearly 13 years! The shame of it...   :-[

Anyway, here are the pics. I won best painted for these guys, so I'm pretty chuffed. I scored a few opposing players 10/10 for their painting, so competition was fierce. :D

The Army:


Nice, very nice, I'll need to get some pics of my Necrons up at some point.

Hopefully getting to visit Warhammer World this weekend while down near Nottingham. Will be taking plenty of pictures there too.

I hate you, now i feel the urge to start painting up my Blood Angels again. Difficult project with the little one crawling around and wanting to bash everything i am having my hands on (Some of you had the good fortune to see the results of my daughter bashing my keyboard)

but great paintjob!!

Well, I may well be returning to these boys in the very near future.

Want to add another Tactical Squad in Rhino and three Vindicators.

Apparently 40k is conditioning kids for war!

http://www.pbsblog.com/projects/spacemarines/deathtoys.html

Quote
The Space Marines come equipped with all of the latest sneaky back-door techniques of conditioning children to accept war and total obedience to authority, complete with telling them to extract pride from doing so and to see themselves as superior beings with the unquestionable right to kill, on command. All in a fun package guaranteed to go mostly unnoticed by distracted, harried parents.

The Space Marines will condition your child to see the genetic mutilation of his or her body as desirable and good, because here it is framed in a way to make it sound like the road to being superhuman. Being superhuman then must be a good and desirable thing.

No discussions about ethics are needed here, they would just get in the way of the pure conditioning going on in your child's brain.

What's really fun about this particular toy set is finding all the occult and new world order references. They abound and if you peruse the page you'll find it chock full of nifty, or is it creepy, predictive programming and even tactics to go street by street in a town near you murdering every person you can find. This will make your child a hero. There are swell icons like Azrael, (Israel?) the supreme Grand Master who's "codex" description sounds like something out of a high mason's ceremony.

There's also Lucius, the Eternal. A sadistic slaughterer who can never truly be killed.

There's the Ordo Malleus, Horus, and even a rendition of futuristic looking creepy nazi-like thugs that bear an amazing resemblance to the futuristic looking creepy nazi-like thugs depicted at the Denver airport in the infamous creepy as hell mural on their walls.

However, take away from them the power to create money and all the great fortunes like mine will disappear and they ought to disappear, for this would be a happier and better world to live in. But, if you wish to remain the slaves of bankers and pay the cost of your own slavery, let them continue to create money." Josiah Stamp (Governor Bank of England 1928-41)

It's just a typical example of a Canarican without a sense of humour. :)
Basically, yes,
1. it's a game.
2. The (not so) "obscure" references to occult and RL is (imho) on purpose - WH40K is kinda Apocalyptic/dystopian in theme.
So even their good guys are not so good. Well, that's the relaxed (european?) way I look at it. ;)
