Which cool warrior cultures don't have a Space Marines Chapter ripping them off?
>>47721454
Cowboys and Aztecs/Incans/Mayans maybe. I know /tg/ did them.
It's ironic cause your image is done by Carcharodons/30k RG.
Tlingit?
>>47721454
Maori?
>>47721454
I think the only area where you might find something like that is most likely something indian or arabic.
Space Sharks are already Maori and Rainbow warriors kind of have been shoehorned into the aztec and incan thing recently.
I don't remember any chapter based on sikhs for example or moorish or saracen culture. If you go more tribal towards masaai you'd probably find some more inspirations as well.
Any kind of Slavic culture in general
>>47721454

That's not what they actually look like.
>>47721967
>Byzantine
Oh my god, how have we missed this guys
I know /tg/'s own Star Krakens (i.e. space vikings but not furries) had an elite unit called the Varangian Guard off the top of my head but they were a unit of foreign mercenaries and Byzantium itself is too cool to miss out on

That, and /tg/ has a homebrew chapter like that already, iirc.
>>47722961
>America
America isn't a warrior culture dipshit. Unless you meant Native Americans, but only some tribes had warrior cultures, so you'd have to get more specific.

Once again, Canada isn't a warrior culture.

>>47722864My homebrew Mexican Outlaw Chaos warband has those that I invented for them.
For +5pts/model, It's a 12" S5 AP- Pistol, High-Caliber, with "High Caliber" making your opponent re-roll successful Armor Saves against the weapon. Not really worth it against GEQ's (because the AP5 of a Bolt Pistol auto-negates their armor) but more than useful against Space Marines. Still, it's only a pistol.
>>47721454
Are there any asian-themed SM chapters? Aside from the white scars, that is.
>>47724205
>America isn't a warrior culture dipshit.
The American South absolutely had a Warrior Culture and Military Tradition pre-Civil War. Your family honor and social standing was highly dependent on having served at LEAST in the local militia, if not the US (And later CS) Armed Forces. Otherwise, you just weren't a man of honor. The massive social breakdown of the American South during Reconstruction (some of which was self-inflicted by the new generation of Southerners, though much was at the hands of Northern carpetbaggers and political groups) removed much of that warrior culture, but even today Southerners serve in the military at a disproportionately high rate second only to Native Americans because of it.
>>47721492
I remember /tg/ doing a western chapter about a year or so ago. It was based around having small "Ranger" squads who went around dealing with smaller scale wars and hunting down pirates and raiders. If I remember right their chapter master had a thing where he would give up his name when he took the position.

That's both true actually.
if you see here >>47725690 I mentioned GW needed the models for WD originally, but they resurfaced in the how to paint books later.
To some extend every custom scheme that ever showed up in WD or at a Golden Demon or was submitted to one of their contests is in some from 'official' since GW tends to put a footnote everywhere that you are transferring your rights to them, so they don't get sued if the print Games Day coverage in WD or use a golden demon winner for the showcases in their codex books like they used to.

The Rainbow Warriors name came from the Greenpeace ship, ostensibly as a reference to the same native american legend the ship was named after.
... Except it turns out the 'legend' was made up by some evangelist applying stereotypical indian imagery to his interpretation of the book of revelations- the natives didn't fall for it, but Greenpeace did.
Frankly I understand GW trying to distance themselves from the name. BL mentioned them though.
>>47728762
You'd be building them based on their WW2 reputation, I guess?
Utter psychopaths.
>>47721953

For some reason I have a lot of trouble finding actual information on Mohawk and Iroquois war culture / legends...
>>47730140
Really? The Iroquois Confederacy was at war with the Wabanaki Confederacy for like a hundred years over a party that got out of hand, nevermind all the wars and mercenary contracts they had with the French and English.
Even the Iroquois/Wabanaki declaration of war was interesting: they're both sarcastic assholes when speaking formally so it went something like "We will part ways now, and if I should miss the sight of your face I will come and visit you, and you are welcome to do the same"

It's worth mentioning the girl was accidentally bayoneted because the the group decided to try and break through the military blockade under the pretense of a surrender.
>>47731714
The soldiers themselves had been breaking the blockade and beating the shit out of the protesters in the middle of the night.
The soldiers bayonetted a 14 year old girl, against the will of their own federal government, just because the local mayor wanted to build a golf course on land he didn't own.
>>47731783

That shit kinda happens when a mob enters into violent melee with soldiers. It's fortunate that no one died.
Also, the army was only called in AFTER people started killing police and setting up armed camps. Neither side has clean hands.

Stance of the provincial police aside, there's never been a reliable account of who shot first. You're also discounting the attacks on the RCMP that came to replace the provincial police before the military arrived.
>after the government told him to back off
The government, more specifically the prime minister just didn't want to get strongly involved in that kind of political nightmare. They didn't tell him to just "back off" from the blockades of several major roadways through the province.
>The mayor exploited a constitutional emergency clause
Premier. Little different. And he could only request military aid. It was the Chief of Defense who responded to that request.

>Asian cultures
IIRC the Mantis warriors were originally Asian-inspired along the lines of the samurai.
>America as a warrior culture
Only the keyboard variety. Only 0.45% of the population actually volunteers to fight these days, and most of our MAJOR wars required the draft (Civil War, Spanish-American War, WW1, WW2, Korea, Vietnam vs Barbary Wars, War of 1812, Indian Wars, Mexican-American War, Persian Gulf, OEF, American Revolution).
>tfw the chapter that picked your warrior culture just degenerated to furries
I guess it's a fitting analogy for the real thing.
Of the modern western countries I think America is the most possible, but even then it's a stretch and it's mostly because of the South. I think it's hard to be a modern, post-enlightenment democratic republic as well as a martial society, so the South trying to replicate ancient Sparta is as close as it gets.

I'd even argue against the point of the South being closer to bringing a warrior culture into the US. I would define a warrior culture as one who is internally and externally defined by putting a warrior mentality as the pinnacle of society. And while they do glorify war and the general soldiery a bit more than the rest of the country, it's still nowhere near that. Aside from the general "God, Guns, and Patriotism" mentality, the majority still doesn't push themselves to be warriors/warfighters/militias/etc. The vast majority of Americans are better defined by the "Thanks for your service, I really appreciate it, and thought about joining, but [insert excuse here]."

Germanic tribes: plenty of (power) spears, the night-walkers tribe becoming a scout unit or terror squad. The Cimbri migrations rampaged roman territory for years and defeated several roman armies.
>Chatti tribe: A typical symbol of the battle oath they take is the iron ring worn around their neck which cannot be removed until they have committed man-slaughter, and more gruesomely, self-inflicted scars, ritualized body-art performed as they stand over the body of their fallen enemy.
Celtics:
>chariot-class land speeders
>venetii-class cruisers
>unarmored (instead of naked) champions
>teceitos pattern power axes
>soldurii are the fearless 1st company
>thureos boarding shields
>librarians based on real druids, both religious leaders as well as scholars and judges that pass the chapter's history and customs orally.
Celtiberians:
>power falcatas
>missile pods which fire soliferrum pattern AP rockets and forbidden falarica pattern phospex.
>elite composed of Ambakaros, using bearded masks called 'bucula'
>power armor adorned/reinforced with bronze chest discs

Speaking as a North Carolinian here, yeah.
We join the military not out of patriotism, but because our parents have been unemployed since the mills closed 30 years ago and no one figured out what else the South could be useful for, we live in a culture of anti-intellectualism so no one bothers to improve their situation by caring about their education, and therefore the best jobs we can hope for are fast food.
Or the military, so that we can still be useless, but occasionally get shot at. But hey, if you don't get shot, you get to automatically demand respect from the plebs back home, because "they didn't go". It's like the easy button for social capital for people who weren't worth a damn at home.

In Europe the Canadians hit a long string of engagements against entrenched and prepared enemies, primarily SS - resulting in long, bloody struggles. At Normandy a Canadian light infantry group discovered the bodies of 20 illegally executed Canadian POWs, deducing (and later proving) they'd been executed by the SS. There is no official correlation between that incident and the proportionately low number of SS POWs captured alive by Canadians subsequently.
Canada only really began cultivating its modern peace-loving reputation after WW2, but even that is greatly exaggerated when compared to the US' bluster.

Guys, once again, these are Imperial Guard material, not Space Marine material.
Space Marines are inspired by images of WARRIOR cultures, where the focus is on individual prowess, glory, and strength. Imperial Guard are inspired by SOLDIER cultures, where the focus is on discipline and tactics. Swiss and Israelis are great inspiration for Guard Regiments, they don't make good inspiration for Marin Chapters.
>>47743101
oh but romans do? wtf are you on about man
>>47743156
The focus is on the individual capabilities. The IMAGE Ultramarines are inspired by is that of A legionnaire, not the entire legion. Part of that is being able to work together, but it isn't what they're about. It's about their ABILITY to work together, and their personal fortitude, and their personal discipline, and how they synchronize.
If your image of a certain culture is of a single warrior, with a close up on their face and equipment, their armor shining in high resolution, it's a Space Marine culture. If it's on an image of a big army marching in unison, it's a Guard culture. That's why there are no Marine chapters based on the red army or the Wehrmacht, and conversely, no Guard regiments based on the vikings.

It has to take an enormous amount of discipline to wear those pants with a straight face.
>>47721454
Nice try, GW.
>>47743207
Literally the only strength of the legion is in its organisation and formation. I presume you would class Sparta and maybe other Greek states as a warrior culture, who also rely entirely on formations
also what are Catachans

You can totally have both IG and SM based on the same idea.
There's a revolting planet based on roman culture in the FFG roleplay books too.

Maori culture is cool as fuck. mana, smoke-shrinking heads, eating your enemies flesh, tattoos signifying power, constant warring, training from birth, rich oral history traditions and music. Its all good stuff.
Only became more interesting once firearms and trench warfare were introduced. Oh yeah did I mention they invented trench warfare in the 1850s? yeah, that too.

97% of Americans have never served. The swiss are more of a warrior culture than you are.

Can't you get education etc from the military? And join for the humanitarian (lolamerica) aspect? Are those not reasons for signing up in the South?

Maori?
Fuck man. Come to south Auckland.
Maori are absolute trash.
They were also shit warriors that were essentially stone age retards that relied mostly on deception in order to essentially red wedding pah occupants.
