Kommisar_K Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 That's a good one. As others have said, Trazyn stole the show. Not surprising really. He needed a good piece for his collection, yes?

Karhedron Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 Somewhere at Amazon HQ there is an executive going, "I know it was only an April Fool joke but just hear me out..."

ZeroWolf Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 Having finally found time to watch it, I absolutely loved it. If GW had any sense they would have had free downloads of the songs to go alongside this. Wonder if the Orks would have gotten their own number if it was real Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/387748-the-emperor-protects-the-musical/page/2/#findComment-6164325 Share on other sites More sharing options...
NovemberIX Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 My inner Theatre-Kid heart is singing, whoever did costume construction on this production deserves their kudos, because Trazyn was amazin' Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/387748-the-emperor-protects-the-musical/page/2/#findComment-6164331 Share on other sites More sharing options...

ValourousHeart Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 Since no one mentioned it, I wanted to make sure everyone saw the behind the scenes video. An extra 5 minutes just to show you how much dedication they put into the bit.

The model soldiers people? Wonder what they're up to." "Wait, what's the giant robot skeleton doing? Gilbert and Sullivan?" "Oh god, that's kinda catchy. How much to their models cost again?"

LameBeard Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 (edited) We’ve had the academic conference. There’s no way the musical is more outlandish. As Freud said “sometimes a cigar is just a cigar, but a joke is never just a joke.” Edited April 7 by LameBeard Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/387748-the-emperor-protects-the-musical/page/2/#findComment-6165284 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magos Takatus Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 It has ousted that multicolour army spraygun as my favourite April Fools gag from GW. I'm not typically a musical guy, I had a fad for Starlight Express and Iiked the Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds, and my uni housemate took me to see Rent, and I was amazed that it was four hours long. I swear I'd grown a beard by the time it had finished. This, however, was hilarious.
