ITT: IRL equivalents of 40k worlds.
Caliban is, essentially, fantasy Australia.
Don't you mean Catachan
>>47514588
No. Look at all the fucked up mutated wildlife on Caliban, it's totally Australia.
>>47514434
Nah, Caliban was Fantasy Europe. Vast dark forests full of great beasts. Knightly orders. All that stuff.
Cretacia is probably closer to Space Australia.
After reading Betrayer there's a lot of Roman influence in the World Eaters such as Kharn always being referred to as Centurion and having a unit named the Triarii. Also Angrons home world Nuceria is a part of Ultramar. Then there's obviously the comparison of Angron to Spartacus.
tldr the War Hounds were space Romans like the Ultramarines but got jacked up by the nails
>>47514915
Well they were gladiators, so yeah.
>>47515051
Yeah but Angron and the nails degraded the formal War Hounds legion into the World Eaters.
Why aren't there any Slav marines?
>>47518392

>xDDDD Australia is full of dangerous wildlife meme!
Except it isn't? The only dangerous thing about Aussie wildlife is the spiders and other venomous things. They're all tiny and otherwise harmless. The only megafauna it even has is the Saltwater Crocodile, and they're fairly tame compared to their man-eating Nile cousins.
The closest thing we had to Caliban was Earth during the Pleistocene, when shit like Cave Bears, Giant Sloths, and Sabre-Cats were still around and would make a meal out of humans.
>>47518840

And the shitposter.

Sorry, too busy here in America wrangling with actual megafauna instead of some bullshit a bogan cooked up to sound tough.
Actually, America is just like Caliban. We killed off all the monsters, then immediately succumbed to corruption.

Neither of them are megafauna, neither of them are maneaters, and the camel was introduced.

It is quite obvious that, for the purpose of this thread, we're not considering humans as megafauna: burgers don't count.

I dunno man. Moose(meese?) kill people all the time. So do the several species of bears, the buffalo, wolves(actually stopped being a serious problem but they still get a few), coyotes, owl actually maul a few every year as well as swans and geese, deer during rut fuck people over all the time, we got alligators AND crocodiles, hell at least one kid per species as of this year alone:mountain lion, foxes, crows, several kinds of snakes, all of the previous mentioned species, and burgers.
Hell i had to shoot a black bear with my bow 2 days ago to get it out of my backyard. I live in the burbs. If i wanna go celebrate surviving the crucible that is childhood and daily life in america with a damned hamburger i'd say i earned it.
This is probably why we're not comfortable as a country if we don't have some sort of war happening.
>>47514434
Harkoni is Space 'Murrica afaik.
Rest are fairly obvious.
>>47525564
The plural of moose is moose
>>47525598
That was retconned. Catachan is the only Murrican influenced world now.
>>47525617
Meesen? Moosenisms?
>>47525617
Naw, the plural of 'moose' is 'I'M GOING TO BE LATE FOR WORK IF YOU FAT SACKS OF SHIT DON'T MOVE' or 'JESUS FUCK RUN', depending on how belligerent they are.
>>47518746
>It Ain't Me intensifies
>>47518840
North America is probably worse.
Rattlesnakes, Cottonmouths, Copperheads, Coral snakes, Fer de Lance.

Mountain lions, jaguars, grizzly bears, wolves, even Moose.

>>47524461
>Neither of them are megafauna
Aren't humans classified as megafauna?
>>47525872
The plural of moose is meese you retard. Just like the plural of goose is geese.
>>47526448
Depends. Its roughly used for things larger than humans but it has known uses of over 40Kg, 44Kg, and 1,000Kg. It's also used to describe things, most likely extinct, that are larger than related counterparts now by a sizable amount (3ft dragonflies VS. 3" dragonflies.)
>>47526448
Just the murrifat kind, the rest of us are normal faunas.

The only place worse is Africa. It has the same amount of vicious wildlife, but also a host of horrifying diseases and unlike Australia the cities are significantly more dangerous than the wilds

Now to be fair, having dealt with rabbit problems here in Texas I can say that rabbits can fuck up the environment pretty hard.

I mean, either is equally likely, given GW.
>>47528937
Black Country, mang. Birmingham's in the Black Country.
>>47528973
See, I would not know this, as I am a Texan and know little of the UK besides the basics of the constituent nations that make it up.
In the US, Birmingham, Alabama has also always had a large Black Southern American population, and many of the kick-offs of the Civil Rights Movement for Black Americans happened in Birmingham, so it's an "important" location in Black Southern culture.
>>47518878
>>47527278
reminds me of Pratchett's Last Continent where dropbears show up and kill people by dropping their ass onto them
>>47514434
No, you're wrong. Caliban is a huge medieval-culture death world covered in forests. It's fucking Estonia or something else baltic.
>>47528523
What would be a rough equivalent to Texas in 40k?
>>47529003
That's a reasonable assumption, kinda, but Birmingham one of the biggest cities in the UK, in the centre of the Black Country - a famously poluted industrial region - with a bad reputation and a very distinctive accent (search "brummie" if you want to be forever disabused of the notion that English accents are cool) that carries with it a reputation for being dumb

>kill people by dropping their ass onto them
That's how wombats kill predators isn't it?
Their asses are immensely tough, they can crush predators using that, their burrows and their strong legs
>>47529212
I don't think there would be a reasonable equivalent, except for something vaguely cowboy-ish.
Texas itself has too many connotations with freedom and resisting tyranny (as true or not true as that is) to really exist in 40k. It's too independent. The Imperium would roll over it and make it compliant.
Any American space marine chapters? Maybe less into self sacrifice and more into just making themselves stronger?
>>47529434
I suppose the Iron Hands
>>47529434
There'd always be room for such a fan chapter. Deeply set sense of independence, strong fleet, lots of powerful toys to throw at problems, set themselves up as peacekeepers.
>>47529434
I think that the original Iron Warriors were drawn from what is now Texas.
>>47529399

>>47527206
Don't forget the Grey Knights in there.
>>47527452
>>47529661
Actually that sounds pretty interesting. Maybe a Space Marine Chapter that also possesses a few Imperial Guard Regiments under their direct command?
>>47530148
Nah not grimdark enough. Maybe make it they focus on smaller xenos (and friendly Imperial) planets that show no true threat, but attack them anyway for resources on their planet that they can then give to the AdMech, who in exchange for supplying them tech in shady under the table deals, have them attack planets that are rich in resources they need. Maybe have a dedicated special corps that undermine the friendly planets in order to make them look traitorous, in order for the Marines to justify a decent casus belli.
Writing that up though, it's become quite clear that the American chapter is the Alpha Legion.
>>47529399
>Texas itself has too many connotations with freedom and resisting tyranny (as true or not true as that is) to really exist in 40k.
LIES AND SLANDER, THE LOT OF IT
Texas places a strong emphasis on autonomy, but the level of individual autonomy an average Imperial planet has in the 40K universe is incredibly high, and would be more than able to satisfy a Texas-based culture.
Texans understand the need for a centralized government in three key areas - Interstate Commerce, National Defense, and Foreign Policy. In these areas, they believe in a very, VERY strong state that is capable of rapidly making decisions with little delay (Historically, this is because they were stuck between Mexico and their Bandit Armies, the Comanche to the north, and the US where popular sentiment was to acquire Texas by any means necessary). The basics of a Texas planet in the Imperium wouldn't change much - give your incredibly dangerous Psykers to the Imperium, contribute manpower to the Tithe as your honor compels you, and keep your ports open to Imperial merchants and Naval vessels, and you're pretty much set as an Imperial world. Pretty much everything else is decided entirely by the planet itself - government form, taxation, locally approved Imperial Faith, mineral rights, environmental policy, business dealings with non-heretical beings - all of these things the Imperium doesn't give two fucks about, and that's just fine with a Texan culture.
