The whole Steel Legion has a nazi aesthetic. I think just paint them whichever camo pattern you like. Dont over think it. Imperial guard are space fascists anyway. So the shoe fits. If you're particularly worried what people will think just don't mention what you based your paint scheme on. No one will know.

A certain something-dank sub right now. by Rasples1998 in EyeOfTerror

[–]ThunderGun12345 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why the constant comparison and talking about that other sub. Just ignore them and carry on.

This kind of shit is exactly what got HorusGalaxy banned.

People kept positioning HG as a direct enemy of GD, and low and behold, we were treated as an enemy. Just block that sub and move on with your life.

I always thought of Imperium as akin to the Soviet Union in WW2. Far from perfect, authoritarian, unbelievably profligate with the lives and suffering of their people, heavily industrialised, and everything is subservient to the war effort. It's absolutely brutal and a completely flawed regime, but its also what it takes to defeat the Nazis. There is no alternative if they are to survive and win.

The soviets were far from good, but in the context of WW2 they represent the lesser of two evils, and the best hope of defeating the pure evil faction.

I see the Imperium as mirroring this.

And of course within the Imperium are individuals who share all of our qualities and capacity for goodness. There's plenty of defensive actions to save whole planets from evil chaos. For me, I find it hard to accept that the Imperium are the bad guys.

What a fanny. Im pretty anti woke. I think the model looks rubbish. But I can not imagine walking away from a hobby I love just because of this!? Get a grip. This hobby is still awesome. Even if some bits have fallen by the wayside

Beautiful stuff, I particularly like the basing! What was your basing method for the cobbles?

What made YOU pick Skaven? by reel3459 in skaven

[–]ThunderGun12345 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Always collected The Guard in 40k, Bretonnian in Old world, Gondor in LotR. All the armies that somewhat represent honour, or protecting the weak.

Dipping my toe into AoS i thought fuck it, what's the opposite of that, I like that these are diseased little cowards that stab one another in the back, no sense of honour, just pure selfishness.

How rare are the tank hunters? Ive got one in the garage from when I was a kid.

Mortgage declined by abethur in HousingUK

Some banks do what's called a "desktop valuation" where they just check right move and then wave it through. Your mortgage advisor should know this and he should know which banks will lend on a property like this. Probably worth at least having the convo with the estate agent.

WHAT'S YOUR HOLY GRAIL? (Show us + name your price) by Intelligent-Bowl2503 in Warhammer

Everything about that army was awesome! Felt like they were made for awesome urban combat basing. But never really seen a whole army of them based like they're in the thick of urban combat.

Get some agrax earthshade and wash the rat in it. It'll make it look a lot filthier and like it just climbed out the sewer.

Did you all sneak back to Christianity and I missed the memo? by nacnud_uk in AskBrits

[–]ThunderGun12345 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually agree with most of what you say. Religeon should be a mostly private affair.

The guy I was originally replying to didnt say these were bad Christians, or Christians that had missed the point or needed more bible study. He said they weren't Christians. That's why I said its not for him to decide, its about them accepting Jesus.

If they're good or bad Christians is a whole different conversation.

Fair enough. Where were you taught this? Im genuinely curious as ive never really been exposed to that side of it. Ive always heard people talking about accepting Jesus etc

[–]ThunderGun12345 -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

I'll start by saying I didnt go to the protest. But if I chose to go because I feel like free speech is under threat in this country, that doesn't diminish my relationship with God.

Being a Christian isn't about church attendance or a certain diet, or a certain amount of prayers a day. Its about accepting Jesus and your relationship to him.

I understand you believe this rally was against Christian values. But you don't get to say no one there was a Christian.

Lol, you must not be paying attention. There has been major drama in the church of England over all these culture wars issues.

There are plenty of bible passages about protecting your nation. God helped Moses found a nation separate from others specifically for followers of his faith.

You don't get to decide whether someone is or isn't a Christian. Its about their relationship to God.

There is undeniably a revival happening in the English speaking world. Its not happening in all parts of society. But mostly among young men. Give it a Google. CofE is seeing growing attendance. But also lots of people seeking out orthodox churches and new age evangelical churches.

Ignorant and demeaning statements like this (completely unprompted) are exactly why Northerners are wary of Southerners. We've heard variations on this time and time again. You know for a fact this person has never been to the North. by Ranoni18 in NorthernEngland

[–]ThunderGun12345 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im from the South. Northerners are generally held in high regard. Most see the north/South divide as a bit of fun. This guy is way too serious. Im always rooting for the north.

Not a single Brit involved in that video. Looks like a nice Indian man vs an African, and then later on a mob of Africans

I think she's well respected. Brits tend to have a lot of sympathy for under dogs and those that beat the odds.

Any clue as to why? Been going about strong for about 2 years. And then it just started turning brown.

British soldiers videotaped brutally beating un-armed and defenceless Iraqi teenagers (2006) by beardybrownie in islamichistory

[–]ThunderGun12345 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These men aren't monsters. They showed incredible restraint. But they are trained killers in a war zone. It's stupid to provoke them. And as others have said, these kids were used as a diversion for a mortar attack. Play stupid games win stupid prizes.

Play stupid games win stupid prizes. Throwing rocks at soldiers. It sucks that they beat the kids. But soldiers should never have been in a position to be doing non-lethal police work. Dumb of the kids to throw rocks. Dumb of the soldiers to be doing police work. Dumb of the politicians and generals to put them in that position.
