My youngest (13) says he doesn't want any GW this year - he wants more Napoleonic French.  I've told him to paint up his first battalion to see if he still feels the same: he can have a short attention span, but we'll see.
I have neither the time nor the crayons to explain why you are wrong.

Well done ! I have a long term plan with my young un who's currently 11. At the moment  he's 40k only. But starting to show an inkling for warhammer fantasy. From there its a short hop to ancients. Then with some encouragment I reckon I'll have him doing AWI by his 30th birthday.

You're beginning to sound like the Jesuits in reverse.  :D
When you realise we're all mad, life makes a lot more sense.

Hold on - I convince the kids to buy from you (much of which will be my money, as Christmas is coming  :'() and you want to give THEM commission?  I'll be the one introducing their mates to Black Powder!

Good work.  Children should grow up and play with proper toy soldiers.
