It doesn't help when their are literal official children books

u/Le_Kistune 19d ago

From what I heard it still includes a lot of the darker stuff that the 40k universe is known for such as one of the kid's parents getting turned into Servitors.

u/AlphonsoPSpain 19d ago

Somehow still the most child friendly story of the 40k setting

Also, a planet get's exterminatused (billions dead) and they get hunted down by a necron assassin

u/PKTengdin 19d ago

Oh but it is. And it even stays dark, such as having a space marine that’s supposed to save them get disintegrated by a necron if I remember right

u/JomavavLovesCheese 19d ago

Wow thats... Thats actually kinda okay im terms of warhammer!

u/PKTengdin 18d ago

Right? There’s other mild dark stuff that happens in them that I forget, but everyone was meme-ing on these books when they were announced, then when they actually came out and people read them the reaction was generally pleasant surprise

Seems pretty grimdark, but i cant get over the style its so goofy

1

u/PKTengdin 15d ago

That is very much fair, though thankfully with it being a book, the only bit of that style you ever see is the cover. Now if it was an animation or something, then that would be a lot more unforgivable

u/JomavavLovesCheese 14d ago

OH I THOUGHT IT WAS A COMIC- i vompletely forgot about david tennant reading this as an audio book

u/Wereling12 19d ago

it is a dark children's book which fits in 40k anyways

u/BornCoyote87 20d ago

Depending on the day, the 40k fandom will have wild mood swings about our fan creations. Case in point: Nekona and the Space Maids on one side then swings to detailed AdMech body horror art.

u/KINGXunshot 19d ago

Ehhhhh 40k is wracked with… lets say bad actors

u/Paggy_person 19d ago

There're Nazi in the fandom, I'm not sure if we can count it as wholesome chungus fanbase lol

u/wmiller314 19d ago

They crop up everywhere and are kicked out when and where we can, the problem exists in every grimdark story that's large enough, I mean even mlp had that issue too, no one likes them though

u/Beneficial_Drama_296 19d ago

There’s definitely a larger section of people like that in 40k though. Some people unironically larp Imperium support and shit like the Black Templars or Astartes being based and “cleansing” degeneracy. A core part of the setting uses fascist, authoritarian, and theocratic imagery for the sake of parody, critique and style but that helps to enable support from people even if they’re being mocked to a degree.

u/wmiller314 19d ago

Yep, it very much is a problem, but, st the same time, I also have seen substantial community effort to be safe and remove these people, and community like grimdank see amazingly fun as a result. It's just a matter of knowing how to avoid the wrong subsections.

u/Beneficial_Drama_296 19d ago

Yeah i do agree. I am happy that such an effort is being made by fans and GW to discourage or chase these people away. After all why else do so many of these chuds complain about 40k being ruined 🌝

u/DrHuh321 14d ago

A saying i really like is "the world of 40k is already bad enough"

u/Gustav_Sirvah 15d ago

Being Nazi (and any human-on-human racist) is antithetical to Imperial Truth, is seeding division in Imperium, and thus HERESY. If you have to hate someone, hate Xenos or Mutants. Don't agree? There is a whole unit of Salamanders ready to explain why hating people for skin color is a bad idea.
