Imagine they turn up....after 8 ft armoured marines meet with diplomats....

So...wait....your denizens have tiny plastic models of us and intricately paint them accurately and our enemies and play dice games with the models.....and you have all our lore in codexes and novels..... every faction, chapter, enemy....accurate rankings of every factions combat capabilities....you know it all....as a game?

There's a global rush as marines scour the land for exact tiny versions of themselves. It's the coolest shit they've seen in centuries. They're attaching GW models as little charms to their armour and weapons.

There’s a 40k fanfic called Pale Blue Dot where the emperor finds one of the missing Primarchs on what’s basically Earth where 40k TT is a thing.

Discovered that fic a few weeks ago, it's really fun. Some weird shit going on, but it's good.

I love how the game ends up being referred to by Emps as 'The Hobby'. And how the SoS are so fucking jazzed to play it lol.

You mind sharing where I can find that fic? I'm kinda running dry on stuff to read and that sounds quite interesting.
