Leaving aside the ghastly mangling of English (I wonder how many kids think that the plural of "boy" is indeed "boyz"), Warhammer encourages kids to paint semi-naked females and 40K encourages them to buy into a dark, fascistic vision of the future. Or at least that's one view of it.<br /><br />I liked your Perry/Warhammer analogy. Another point of difference and comparison is that Perry figures are realistically proportioned whilst GW go in for their rather irritating "heroic" sizes (so ensuring you can't really use their figures with other ranges) - just as Playboy (I believe) had a reputation for "natural" ladies whilst Men Only used, er, "enhanced" models.... <br /><br />GilesGileshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01431052344684945450noreply@blogger.com
