'Course, it goes without saying that there are aspects of Warhammer 40K that are going to require a delicate hand in addressing for younger audiences. Like f'rinstance, oh... I dunno... maybe Slaanesh (the Chaos god of sensual pleasure) and the whole thing about how the Dark Eldar like to spill out of nowhere to raid for victims to suck the lift force from. And the Inquisition. And why do Commisars seem to enjoy killing their own soldiers so much? How the heck are they going to put Tyranids into this new series?
Well, I'm of the opinion that this is going to be a great success. But since this is Games Workshop and their Black Library division we're discussing, maybe we should prepare for the inevitability of 40K books for an even younger readership. Like, ages 3 through kindergarten. So with that in mind, I took the liberty of making the first in the series of the next generation's introduction to the far future:
Dear Games Workshop: disregarding the fact that I am not a British subject, please feel free to contact me about my percentage of the sales. I'll take either Pound sterling or an entire company of my choice of Primaris Space Marine miniatures (including the new Roubute Guilliman). And if you ever bring Lorgar back I'll take him too.
"My Mommy The Astropath", "Billy's Squig", "Abaddon's Cranky Day". The possibilities are endless!
