Games Workshop is making new kid-friendly Warhammer content. This is artwork for a young adult Warhammer 40k book.

That is the best idea they’ve probably ever had. This is a setting OVERFLOWING with stuff kids would love and I know I was awed by when I was a child looking at all the painted models in gaming stores, but it’s a hobby financially impenetrable to almost all but the wealthiest children and its fandom dominated by incredibly hostile adults.

I can hazard a guess that said fandom is probably furious and disgusted that their beloved, elitist game world would ever dare Pander to Mere Babes or some shit….and I’ve directly encountered plenty of them who are undoubtedly blowing a gasket that there’s a little black girl in this artwork, too.

So, good, fuck those guys, and kids deserve cool shit.
