In other news, 40k is 50% Dune, 30% Starship Troopers, 20% random other stuff, and all Space Marine helmets look like Darth Vader's helmet. :)
Agreed ... ;D

And the 20% random includes 1% of John Blanche off his head on mind-altering substances sketching away tits on crab ladies and that sort of thing.

Yes, John's drawings range from disturbing to just plain weird !! Never liked his style (?) ...

as a Jew

Really? Huh...

Is that just from a ancestry point of view or are you also a practicing Jew?

Well, I'm not Jew but I still agree with E&C that naming that psychic power "the holocaust" is an ugly choice of word, to leave it at that.

I thought the power was "Holocaust" not "The Holocaust"? I see a difference. One's an historic word, the other is an historic abomination.

It's sad that words get so maligned when aligned to things. Even symbols take on dread. The nazi cross was taken from a buddhist luck charm IIRC and look what they did with it - B*****ds.

Yup, double takes on seeing a swastika as a tattoo, good luck charm or painted on a bike since moving to Vietnam...

About five. I stopped counting in the end.

I'd also agree with Dobbsy on having separate associations for Holocaust and The Holocaust.

The absolute worse taste reference for me is also Dark Angles poetry based, thus bringing the thread full circle.

Lion El'Johnson's final words...

oh dear, oh dear oh dear.

Indeed ... the whole Johnson thing, DAs liking boys, etc., etc. ... is just way over the top for me ... putting even more questions in my mind about all of G/W's Fluff. Which is another reason why I judiciously "Cherry Pick" thru it and discard most of it. ;D So as I always say, DWWFY ... and of course ... Frakk G/W !!!!!! :P :P :P ::)

DA, don't tell!

eh L4 ?

It's not really obvious at all, and at the time of creation (before forums) wasn't the kind of knoweldge that gets bandied about easily.

Now. The bloody Poe reference, that is a pun to far.
