>40k in General: Nemesis the Warlock
Also I think the Arbites got sued once for being too much like Judge Dredd.
Brandon Morgan
I think Gorkamorka would fit Mad Max too.
Jose Peterson
Educate yourself, pleb.
Hudson Sanders
You're using that meme incorrectly.
Austin Nguyen
user probably saw the reference to the Egyptian eye of Horus and jumped to conclusions, if I had to guess...

>Chaos: Elric/Stormbringer , etc., by Michael Moorcock.
Caleb Watson
Given GW's well justified love of Michael Moorcock, you can definitely see a lot of Melnibone in the pre-fall Eldar and the Dark Eldar

Their color schemes on the larger units make me think of NGE, and they also use shuriken guns. You can't deny some eastern influence.
Tau are just utilitarians, not communists though. Also their fire warriors armor were based on the Chinese armor.
Caleb Phillips
That's basically every large franchise ever.
Daniel Martin
If you can call Sweden socialist, you can call the Tau communist.
Sebastian Clark
And you'd be wrong on both counts.
While the Tau clearly mine popular conceptions about the Soviet Union and communism for their lore, so does the Imperium. They're the faction with Commissars, after all. Or the state atheism and militant historicism from the Great Crusade era.

They're not even a set of 4 and a fifth copy, they are 2, 2, and 1.
Hunter Cooper
I thought the Tau were inspired by the Protoss and Gundam.

Those are just the ones I found where you used near identical ops.

To be fair, that might be the joke of why she got shot.
Parker Clark
That's Eldar

Well GW did have an official Judge Dredd model at some point in the far past...

Pls don't mix up my favourite film with faggy eldars.

>state atheism
The Imperium are SUPPOSED to be atheistic, aka the Imperial Truth. But they aren't, they worship the God Emperor. So no, the Imperium is not the USSR.
Lincoln Young
Missing the obvious Nemesis influences. Just look at Torquemeda here and you'll see the origin of the Helmet style and the Beil-Tan symbol.

Soviet union mixed with tsarist russia
Parker Green
The Imperium draws a lot from the Commie bloc as well
Joseph Thompson
They're supposed to be socialist. But they turned into North Korea.
Jonathan Davis
Best Korea

more of an official license that influenced the whole line and some shared creators
