The giant sword hand is only slightly stupider than the actual GW Space Wolves dread with the giant axe.

I bet if you flip it over, it's just one giant swastika on the bottom. I will never understand people and their use of Germanic images (particularly Nazi Germany iconography) in games that don't even have a Germany.

Kwyndig posted:I will never understand people and their use of Germanic images (particularly Nazi Germany iconography) in games that don't even have a Germany. Most people who do this are thinking of the mythical German Warmachine, the elite few holding out against impossible odds thanks to flawless training and advanced technology. They see the cool, badass look of the uniforms, summoning to mind Darth Vader and other fictional villains dripping with appeal and power. They picture underdogs, defeated in history but possibly triumphant under their new leadership. They don't picture murdered victims, torture and gas chambers, the desecration and destruction of centuries or millennia old cultural icons and traditions or any of the other myriad crimes the Nazis committed. They see the Bad Guys from a TV show - sure they're bad, but not like bad bad, and they're still cool right? - and not the horrific people (and they were people. History would be much different if only monsters could do what the Nazis did) who tore Europe and the world apart in ways it is still healing from. In one sense, it's good that these people can exist. That we've moved on enough from the terrible tragedy of World War 2 that people can look at it and see anything but pain and loss and fear. Like the itching feeling of a scab, they are an unpleasant indicator that the world is healing. On the other hand, they are trivializing one of the worst events in human history, turning symbols that still haunt the dreams of entire generations into a misguided cargo cult. They should absolutely be stopped and reprimanded at every turn, taught why they're doing wrong and maybe given some perspective. They're wrong, after all, not evil. Still, it's not your job to be their teachers or parents, and I can't fault anyone for just walking away in disgust or getting mad at them. And then of course there's the edgy "Oooo, I'm playing Super Hitler In Space, aren't you offended?" assholes. gently caress those guys.

I'm really stretching here hoping in the goodness of people on the internet but isn't that insignia also used by the modern version of the luftwaffe? On second thought, modern Germany doesn't seem too big on nationalism, so yeah, its probably Nazi's....

The modern Luftwaffe specifically uses a rounded edge cross called a Roundel. Those are not Roundels unless that guy is a poo poo painter (which he is, but come on).

We could forgive him if it was just the balkenkruz (no, we couldn't), but the yellow-tip markings are specifically from those used by Me-109 squadrons, especially those involved in the Battle of Britain. So, it's kind of a 1 + 1 thing, and also Flipswitch has been going on about this in the DZC thread. It does also highlight how lovely of a painter/person this guy is that he couldn't even paint proper Luftwaffe camouflage, and instead opted for the "flat grey" the early Wermacht and Heer ground forces were known for, and even then it's the wrong drat grey.

Helen Highwater posted:*Couldn't* care less. Otherwise you are saying that you do care quite a bit. No, no - I could care less; I just don't. Meaning my level of caring is pretty drat low, and it would take me  to actively care less, and that effort feels suspiciously like caring about how much I'm not caring.You are right, of course, but both are used interchangably here.

Reminds me of a story a friend told me about someone asking for specific details on a notorious SS unit for his Bolt Action force because he found them "personally interesting" or something. Pretty hosed up.
