drakheart Posted June 25 Share Posted June 25 I came across this online article, which was published following the death Of John Blanche and thought you might find it interesting. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/06/22/time-for-britain-to-embrace-warhammer-culture-video-games/ Petitioner's City, Rusted Boltgun, MoriyaSchism and 3 others 2 1 1 2 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/388152-wh40k-article-in-the-telegraph/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
roryokane Posted June 25 Share Posted June 25 A surprisingly pleasant read from the Torygraph. Shame it's paywalled!

drakheart Posted June 25 Author Share Posted June 25 I was able to read read the whole thing on my phone, it a was only when I went to view it on my PC did the pay wall appear.

MoriyaSchism Posted June 25 Share Posted June 25 I don't like the "twee Britain" nonsense, it's saccharine and completely artificial. I would prefer that ridiculous state bodies don't get involved with Warhammer. Certain things are already as bad as they are and this would only make things worse. "Underutilized by the authorities" Good. I hope it stays that way. All the state funded EU, US and Australian video games have turned out to be complete disasters. Even things that started out good like Armello (co-funded by the Australian government) gradually either got neglected or completely ruined.

Robbienw Posted June 25 Share Posted June 25 Yeah we don’t want the establishment to become any more aware or have anything to do with 40k. They’d either try to ruin it out of spite or try to use it to clumsily push their messaging Keep well away.

Evil Eye Posted June 26 Share Posted June 26 Yeah. Without naming any specific examples of why it would be a bad idea (for the sake of board rules and also my blood pressure) the idea of the current British establishment trying to use Warhammer as a mouthpiece makes me very, very angry.

The Praetorian of Inwit Posted June 26 Share Posted June 26 Anytime any Government gets involved in anything it is bad.

Nephaston Posted June 26 Share Posted June 26 As much as geedubs is amongst my favourite faceless, heartless, soulless corporations I'd rather not see them leashed to whatever chicanery the british government would pull..

ThaneOfTas Posted June 26 Share Posted June 26 Considering the disgusting and despicable use that a certain government has put the Halo IP to in the last year or two, I'm very much in favour of not having any government touch Warhammer, even if I generally find them less objectionable than others. byrd9999 and ZeroWolf 2 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/388152-wh40k-article-in-the-telegraph/#findComment-6177263 Share on other sites More sharing options...

You act as though that can happen when the Telegraph is mentioned. As one with Scottish blood it's in my nature to hate them.

Evil Eye Posted June 26 Share Posted June 26 I mean, let's not pretend any of the big newspapers are deserving of anything other than contempt. "You 'umies don't hate yer writin' gits enuff.
