Following the release of two revised army list books for their tabletop
wargame Warhammer 40,000, Games Workshop have expressed their sadness at
having been advised of the spate of suicides of a significant portion of
their former customer base. "We heard they were jumping from roofs all
over the World", GW spokesperson Gimme Allyourmoney announced at a press
conference earlier today. "Like lemmings they was, we can't even begin
to imagine what will happen when we send out the press release about
Dark Eldar being 'squatted' later in the week if this is the result of
nerfing the worst of our codiceseses, *cough*, army books, innit. At
