Daimyo-Phaeron Lenoch Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 Not sure if this is their version of an April Fool's Day joke or a for-real thing they're introducing...If it's april fools they're a few days late, but... At the same time i want chocolate minis. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ddw2qxk2FM4 Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/345875-victory-has-never-tasted-sweeter/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panzer Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 That was their aprils fools day joke, yeah. Of course that's not a thing lol Also they weren't late.

Khornestar Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 Only the OP is late, I’m afraid. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/345875-victory-has-never-tasted-sweeter/#findComment-5047006 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vel'Cona Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 This was an April Fools announcement, and doesn't fit in news. Moving to Amicus to facilitate discussion (if needed).

Chaplain Raeven Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 Even better than their ad for War-ter from last year. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/345875-victory-has-never-tasted-sweeter/#findComment-5047012 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daimyo-Phaeron Lenoch Posted April 3, 2018 Author Share Posted April 3, 2018 Ah. It only went up on the YouTube channel today, so that’s why I was confused. Thanks guys! Shame though. I would have liked some. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/345875-victory-has-never-tasted-sweeter/#findComment-5047057 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aramis K Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 Amuses me their timelines is 80s Lead, 90s Pewter, 00s Plastic, and now Chocolate. They're trying to deny Finecast its place in history! Also, they called pewter 'White metal' at the time, I still remember them explaining this new substance in White Dwarf.

SickSix Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 The Facebook moderator actually replied to a comment that they should sell chocolate marines at WHW, saying that was actually a great idea. So who knows, maybe they could be a real thing.

klisof Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 They were saying that they had to get some chocolate marines made for the video so it's possible. You could use them in a game, just eat the casualties to save packing up at the end :) But now what's bugging me now is I can't think of an official chapter that wears chocolate coloured armour. Can anyone help out there or is there no such chapter?

Volt Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 It wouldn't be that hard to make either. Chocolate molds are rather less expensive than plastic injection molding, and you can just cast it from a run of the mill marine model.

Daimyo-Phaeron Lenoch Posted April 4, 2018 Author Share Posted April 4, 2018 The biggest cost they'd have would probably be the chocolate to make the minis at this point. They don't have to make the molds again, they already designed the models, and beyond that I can't think of anything except electricity (which given past discussions about their factory power grid may be an issue). Either way if they make them i want them widely distributed.

Magos Takatus Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 Imagine the horror of some collectors to find that their army has turned into a puddle after being left in the sun too long. :p Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/345875-victory-has-never-tasted-sweeter/#findComment-5048512 Share on other sites More sharing options...
