It's probably supposed to look like this:



Painting your face/body before battle was a real thing that was done. I'm not saying it's right or wrong on that 40K model, just that the painter probably wasn't going for "red skin."

I don't know where this falls under the bad taste category.

The dude is white as hell from his picture but like, who knows what his background is.

So while I'm not entirely sure it's cultural appropriation, it sure feels like cultural appropriation.

i dont know if its cultural appropriation to paint space fascist native americans, but it definitely seems tacky as poo poo

They removed the main text of the KS, so I can't gather all the details, but one thing I noticed is that they advertise shipping to Germany... Which, as far as I know, is still pretty strict about buying and owning things with Swastikas on them. It's not really illegal (as long as you're not showing it off in public), but I've heard plenty of stories of Customs flat out denying your package if they see one.

40k orks started off as parody of English football hooligans, then GW saw a chance to take the piss out of neo Nazis by modelling stormboys off them.

The idea was that they were Ork youths rebelling against mainstream Ork society by being disciplined and tidy.

GW moved away from social commentary as the company became bigger and started answering to share holders.

I can remember seeing paint jobs that lovingly played up the Nazi angle, so regardless of their intent to be satire, it's a wise move given certain currents in their fandom.

The problem with parody or satire is that some people don't get it, or just ignore it, and double down hard glorifying the thing. Or, people can mistake the intent and think that GW themselves are celebrating the Nazis.

It's a thin line to tread. I think it was a direction that was more relevant in the 80's and became less topical as the 90's passed by.

I mean the old ork lore specifically mentions how the adult orks would beat the stormboy attitude out of them, so not sure how people misread it so bad as to make entire loving nazi ork armies
