Vassakov Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 This has bizarrely good production values for a three minute long April Fools. I'll give them credit though, this actually made me chuckle.

Burni Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 Yes, this is one of the best I've seen in a while. Made me laugh in a few places (the BT Chaplain was my fav). Bravo GW, I'll give you this one!

Brother Christopher Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 Gotta hand it to GW, this is pretty funny. I love the effort, I appreciate the vibes. And this is coming from someone who's not usually into GW's skits. Kudos. If only the mainline 40k rules were made by people with the same nerdy passion.

mecanojavi99 Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 What I love the most is that I'm pretty sure those are various cosplayers that attend events regularly, so not only is it a well executed joke, but it is also one with fans involvement.

Vassakov Posted April 1 Author Share Posted April 1 36 minutes ago, Wispy said: I wish this was real. 40k needs to be able to laugh at itself. Abominable heresy. Warhammer is extremely serious business and anything approaching satire, humour, inconsistency or god forbid development must be blamed on tourists or people who don't get their lore from YouTubers who can barely read. Rather than, you know, being absolutely fundamental to the setting. darkdark25, Bryan Blaire, Lord Marshal and 10 others 13 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/387748-the-emperor-protects-the-musical/#findComment-6164267 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lysimachus Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 The only thing that would have made it funnier would have been to get Cavill to join in, and have him proclaim that this project would be the first 40k/Amazon 'show'. Can you imagine the moment of rage before everyone realised it was a joke?
