Vorax-chan was awfully concerned with her looks, Primarchs took yet another crack at the Warmaster's job and Abbadon remains a massive dick. Magnus and the Khan were the chillest of bros until Russ burned down Space Oxbridge. A long and civil discussion on Legions v. Forge Worlds occurred and the Mechanicum isn't allowed any planes or cars. Knight Errants remain useless and a different Emperor designed himself a Warlord Titan.All this and more in the last thread >Thread FAQ pastebin.com/iUqNrrA8

Psychotic mechanized nomad tribal technophiles is already a strong theme, no need to borrow anything.

They've tried not to make it overt, but you could make the case for Sparta. Almost everything we know about Sparta is from other Greeks so it's probably grossly exaggerated, but it fits - they supposedly hated weakness to the point of killing babies they didn't think would grow up to be strong, only marked the gravestones of people who died doing something worthy, and were very attached to their equipment ("Come back with your shield or laid upon it"). Aristotle thought their way of fighting was short-sighted, just like Mr. Manus's.
Medusa and the Gorgon are Greek, of course. Never mind that the Gorgons were female (Medusa was the leader of the three, and they were daughters of Echidna and... Typhon), and that there was a Spartan queen named Gorgo.
Ferrus's youth sounds a lot like Hercules's story, and Medusa's seismic nature and competing clans is also pretty Greek (city-states).

Thanks, Anons. I guess the Iron Warriors have to share the Greek theme with the Hands. Come to think of it didn't the Hands also do the "Iron without, Iron within" motto back in older editions too?

>and were very attached to their equipment ("Come back with your shield or laid upon it") That's not them being attached to their shield. It's just a fancy way of saying "don't run away like a cowardly faggot" because fleeing soldiers drop their stuff to run faster.

Upon further reading, I concede the point.
I wonder if they were meant to be based on competing city-states. "Tyrant" was the word used for a lot of Syracuse's leaders, and that's where Archimedes was from... Perturabo rolls them all into one. They were usually under siege though, rather than besieging.
