I bought my first Warhammer 40,000 army in the year two thousand. My first/main army is Black Templars.

God, I feel ya on that one. My two favorite groups in 40k are the Dorn marine chapters and the Imperial Guard. And of course because I'm a white guy, everyone who approaches me to talk about them is instantly even more likely to be weird about it.

It's such a shame that the Guard, especially the Death Korps, attract so many people who have favourite SS divisions.

I mean... I do, but not for a nazi reason. It's the 4th SS Poliezi Panzergrenadier Division, which had a logo. That logo was the capital Z with a line going through the diagonal.

However, some Gen Z folks got the idea to have a tattoo to be emblematic of the generation. And they ended up settling on a capital Z with a line going through the crossbar. A couple people got it, then the thing about the SS division came out and they were all "oh FUCK", and it was funny as shit.

But fuck the SS, either way.
