I believe Prospero was borrowed from Shakespeare's the Tempest. As was Caliban.

Re: 40K NEWS: Where has the Inquisition Gone?

Savark — Wed, 13 Jan 2010 17:07:24 -0000

If they made it into one dex it would be one inquisitor choice, with a mark or seal of some sort to make them WH or DH inquisitor, either way allowing for strom troopers, then one GK HQ who allows for grey knights in the army then one canoness hq who allows for sisters. then going back to the inquisitors, each mark or seal would allow access to wargear. e.g. a DH mark would allow a daemon-hammer and a WH mark would allow an inferno pistol. then both have access to the basics, such as: power weapons, plasma pistol etc. when you look at it that way you have two pages of hq. and with without the GK HQ or SoB HQ the GK and SoB would be Elite choices, or something. this is just a guess.

Fortunately, i have never been cursed by using or playing against proxies, i tend to load up on wargear, this tends to save a bit of cash too. of course if playing against orks and toy is a good proxy =D

This point of view is more background but anyway, i really dislike the Tallarn models, they look so outdated and their lasguns look more like a gun from a 4 year olds toybox, but they come with such awesome stuff, no other guard box comes with a plasma gun and pistol, power wepon and missile launcher. but they look shocking!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
SHE PUT A NEW THING UP
GO STRAIGHT TO THE BOTTOM
WE ARE ALLT THUGS AND ARE INSANE HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

EDIT: and could i use someone's e-mail? i need to send her one and can't get on to mine

here is what i would send her:

Hello, i am andrew, a Warhammer hobbyist
I have read your article and am rather disappointed you did no in-depth research, but a single visit to the site.

I have broken your "points" and decided to say somethings about them:

"he 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."

First of, in the real-life military, jail is a punishment for did-obeying. what they are doing is GOOD. they are not fighting humans, unless said people are worshiping dark gods, THEY are the ones killing innocents. The inquisition? they go by "better safe than sorry"

Lucius? Horus? one of the innocent killers. EVIL PEOPLE! Nazi-like thugs? no idea who you are talking about there.

"
Warhammer 40,000 - The Space Marines

"The true power of a Space Marine lies in his unwavering faith in the Emperor. He is the divine Master of Mankind, chosen by the Gods and worshipped for one hundred centuries while he sits entombed in the Golden Throne.

The Space Marines consider themselves particularly blessed because part of the gene-seed that flows through their enhanced veins is from the Emperor's flesh.

They are truly the physical manifestation of his will."

By all means, read the page and find out what space marines are.

What is not explained, is what is so good about having unwavering faith in the Emperor? Why would anyone want to do that? What's so hot about the Emperor that you'd give up your own one-time-only life, as a unique irreplaceable human being, and instead of exploring the world and enjoying life you shut off your brain and become the extension of somebody else's will.

The Emperor doesn't seem to do much for you but you sure are expected to be mutilated, suffer, and die to make him happy. And is he dead or what? If he's entombed that would mean he's dead as a doornail, right? So, how can he be happy about anything you do, or even give orders to anyone? Are you worshipping the dead now? Is that something you'd really want to do? Because it sounds freaking creepy to me.

Being willing to kill and die on command is sort of retarded, isn't it? Shouldn't there be a really good reason to engage in deadly violence? Is the word of "some guy" with a fancy hair do and a big hat enough to make you go kill somebody? Who is he anyway, and what makes him so flaming great? If he wants people killed why doesn't he go do it himself?

These and many more questions abound, but unfortunately are not even alluded to when kids look at this stuff. Sucked in by cool graphics and continuously injected with bizarre ideation and glamorization of death, killing and destruction, and the strange assertion that it is perfectly normal to have unquestioning obedience to who ever has the tallest hat, kids will not be given an equal opportunity to learn how to question such obvious mind control techniques.

Everything about being a killer on command who is loyal is right here. The very idea would not ever occur to a child on his own. This must be injected, repeated, and glamorized and it is. It's been done to every last one of us. What easier way to assure obedient, authority driven selfless drones who will go die for no reason, because they never ask for a reason.

If that's not mind control, tell me what is."

Geez, whats so good about the emperor? maybe he saved all of humanity from barbarianism. What does the emperor do for us? give us hope. Why doesn't kill them himself? Go ask a disabled man to walk, or a blind man to see. he can do neither. Humanity owes him. and if he dies, we all get killed by daemons (this is fiction okay?) Mind control? i've followed the hobby for three years now and i'm fourteen, the only two people i want to kill is a back-stabber at school and the man who treats my family like shit AND lives in my house.

"Deathwatch Kill-Teams
Who wouldn't want their child to be enraptured with the idea of being part of a Kill Team?

It's very highly elite you know. Killing is good.
It is.
No really.
Well is it, or isn't it?

Okay so if it's not, then why this elaborate production of killing toys for children?

If killing is NOT good, does it make for appropriate toys? I'm confused here, you tell me.

Because it's good if you don't actually think about it too much and if it's you doing the killing but it's only bad when the other guy does it.
That's a total break down of logic.

I guess that's how they keep
the good old war machine churning
all around the world.

It's only possible for the other guy to be
the bad guy, it's never us, only them. Right?
And we know that's true because... because....? How do we know it's true?"

Purpose: Small games
The bad guy: aliens! People killing innocents!
Why one super elite team: would you rather one kick-ass small team that'll suffer no casualties or half an army being slaughtered? your choice

"Cities of Death
Urban Tactics - Block By Block
What could be more fun than that?
Cities of Death! Yippee.

When children think of cities, they SHOULD think of them as great places to hide out to kill everyone they can find. Because that's what cities are for. Even churches are good to blow up and stuff because it's way fun. Everyone wants to blow up churches and mosques and hunt down every last civilian, with urban tactics and go block by block until you're sure every last one of them is dead.

Because that is FUN. It's a HOOT. A barrel of LAFFS. Let's have a Coke and a donut shall we?
We can talk about shooting little kids and pregnant women, because that's...fun?

What's fun about this scenario?

What about any of this is even tolerable to allow in your house? Who would even think of selling something this sick and inappropriate like a harmless toy, like a Mickey Mouse stuffed animal? Do we really want kids growing up completely desensitized to scenarios like this? Should they see it as nothing to get upset about?

Where are the reasons for asking the pretend soldiers to go in and do this? There is never any question about justification. It's as if just going and doing it is all you need to know.

Is it all you need to know?

Would any child feel like this was fun if they thought of themselves and their family huddling and hiding from the Space Marines going block by block looking to track them down and kill them? Is it still fun yet?"

I'd like to know WHERE it mentions civilians or pregnant women. Cities of death was just an excuse to release awesome terrain. i'm not so sure i want to lose Sydney or New york to aliens.

"Angels of Death
I am not even a religious person,
but this offends even me.

In what way do Angels have anything in common with superhuman genetically modified killing machines?

They make it sound like a gift. "I am here to kill you. You can thank me later".

This is supreme head fu*king. The concepts are direct opposites.

Asserting such Orwellian double think when they're young means it will be assimilated without question. The idea of being a death machine is easy to intertwine with angels. It makes YOU an angel when you are a deadly barely human killing machine. It makes death good. God likes it too, because if you're an Angel then you're good. Death is good. Death is great. We love death. Let's go kill now, okay? It's something anyone who loves God can feel good about.

THIS IS HOW THEY GET YOU. THIS IS HOW THEY GET TO YOUR KIDS WITHOUT YOU EVER KNOWING IT. Who could have a problem with that? They need a steady supply of soldiers, and you have a kid or two to spare. It's a match made in heaven, made better only because with the conditioning and mind control tactics your child got playing Space Marines, they'll be ready and anxious to go off to war. It's a win win situation. Right?"

They are called angels of death due to how they fight. they come from the sky, from the 'heavens' it just a poetic edge. there the good guys. would you rather call them "The hellbringers" or "death-mongers" now THAT wouldn't b good for the kids.

"being Barely Human Is Cool!
If your child has never heard of the genetic manipulation of human beings to fundamentally change them from a natural, true being into an item of inventory that serves the Imperial Master of Humanity, then the two thumbs up way of framing the idea here will leave the strong impression that it's 100% great. Your child should look forward to any chance to be genetically altered by others.

Because there is no discussion here about ethics or repercussions, or even the need or the right to do such horrendous things to people, your child could go a long time with the idea there is nothing wrong with this. In fact, he or she may be anxious to accept whatever comes down the pike. All it has to do is offer him or her a supposed advantage, and they will grab for it.

This teaches children to think of being defiled by the government as something cool. I can't speak for you but I've got REAL BIG problem with that."

BEFORE i joined the hobby i wanted to be stronger faster and tougher, nothing to do with my favorite game

"Horrifying Concepts 101:
Ideas We Want You To Be
Familiar and Comfortable With
Civil War is good. Heresy is fun. That old Emperor of Mankind is back again, and certainly, ONE person, some GUY, SHOULD rule over the earth. That's just so natural.

Brother fighting brother, that's one to shove into your child's head and get them to see it as necessary and not to worry about it being so bizarre that it should make your head explode.

This outrageous concept must be implanted when they are very young or it won't take. By simply avoiding this whole horrifying "toy" set, you may be able to spare your child being introduced to this idea as if it were no more strange than a stick of gum. That could only be a good thing.

You don't kill your own brother for anyone. The government does NOT over ride your family. EVER. You protect your family FROM the government if they tell you to kill your own family."

I'm sorry to say, this made me laugh. there are over 10,000 of these guys in the universe. they are not blood brothers, they are just all in the same group. Ever heard of brothers in arms? If my brother/sister/parent/cousin/Friend was a slaughterer who killed people for fun, i don't know about you, but they'd be in jail pretty quickly

"The future sounds so pleasant.

Children SHOULD think of a desolate, corrupted, hopeless future as natural.

When the world gets that way, the best thing to do is to serve the Emperor and go kill innocent, frightened traumatized people on his command.

Yeah. That's fun."

Every book/movie/game needs a story-line, Lord of the rings: Sauron is rising, killing people

"Innocence proves nothing.
Kill them anyway.

It doesn't matter if you kill innocent people.
Ain't no big thing. What's the difference? Innocent? Not innocent? They're still all the bad guys, right? They don't deserve justice, that's just for us.

Because we are the good guys. Good guys are people who don't care about killing innocent people. That's all there is to it.

Devalue life. It's pointless anyway. It's cheap.
It has no value. So don't sweat it, just kill them all, innocent or not. Who cares? Death is good.
At least that's what I learned from my Space Marines toy set. So then, it must be true.

Yeah, I'm cool now."

i think i've already said this: better safe than sorry, besides in a few stories it's only 1 in every hundred humans killed for being PROVEN guilty

"There's unfortunately a lot more where this came from. Visit the site yourself and find out how the very idea of war and killing is perpetuated, and where we get our ideas about it being noble and good and how it's always someone else who is the bad guy. Blind obedience is never a problem because we are the good guys, so why bother asking questions or thinking about things yourself?

Children are the most vulnerable people to this heavy handed propaganda, because they have no way to discern meaning or value or honesty. It's coming from a store, it's being glamorized, it looks exciting and they are being told all about how fun it is to kill all day long and be a mindless zombie.

It would take heavy handed propaganda to get that idea successfully lodged into children's minds, but if they're good at anything it's exactly that. This is how it's done.

Mind control is hardly rare, we live under a giant net of absolute idea and thought control now, and we have been for a very long time. Cut off from the rest of the world we're not even interested in what's going on out there. We never hear news from other countries perspectives and the fact is we're living in lala land. A specially designed place that keeps us stupid and fine with being stupid. How many Americans still believe that "we're number one" in so many things? They would be shocked to find out the only thing we're number one in, is the number of people we have locked up. In all the other ways we're not even IN THE RUNNING anymore, that's how badly we've slipped. We're getting screwed, it's that simple.

What we think and see and hear about, and how it's all framed is all provided for us, courtesty the man behind the curtain. The corporate media and the government are really one and the same so it's no surprise that everyone can afford a TV set, no matter how poor you are. It's the one thing the government wants everyone to have, and they hope you'll leave it on all day. It's never been so fast and easy to propagate whatever ideas they want into a whole nation. Something that once took twenty years to slowly put into people's heads for acceptance and belief can now be accomplished in a year.

If you've noticed how fast things seem to be moving these days, that may be why. They can catapult the propaganda in real time to reframe screw ups and revelations of wrong doing. They can make you hate a guy you've never heard of without providing you with a shred of evidence that he did anything. For all you know he could just be an actor, or a random face created on a computer. They can do that now. Why would you think they wouldn't use it on us?

They can make it look like they are being supported by the citizens when in fact everybody hates them. How would you ever know any different? That TV set is likely the most dangerous thing in your house. Getting rid of it will do more than release you from the spell of mind control, it will give you back your life and time and your brain will wake up again and you'll find out that life happens only outside of TV land. Life - It's way better without the PROGRAMMING. That's just the facts. "

Never seen Warhammer on TV, and if it comes on i'll be watching it. i don't even watch TV anymore because i'm doing homework or painting/modelling warhammer.
