Defeat for the Forty-Thousand Year Reich!

For some unfathomable reason, i've met a grand total of four players in Dawn of War who use the Swastika as their army symbol. Needless to say, it makes fighting them just a wee bit easier , as well as being more than a bit tasteless.

(Warning, large screenshots!)

Pic the first.

Pic the second.

And an otherwise unrelated pic from the same match as image #1.

...Interesting, to say the least. I used a custom badge for my own tabletop Chapter for awhile in beta, but I rarely play Marines in retail now (as there is an overpopulation of Marine players... yay for overpowered Dreadnoughts).

But oh, the joy of dropping three dreads into the back of a lightly defended Ork base while the Warboss is concentrating on the offensive.

Show the fascist invader the power of the Socialist system!

Who needs Dreadnoughts when Predators carry the day massively?

I'm rather fond of Eldar, just for stylistic issues, but when I get around to playing Multi, I'm going to have to run Marines with an 'Intel Inside' logo. Because, I mean...Intel Inside...on a suit of powered battle armor.

So would this mean Chaos power armour runs on overclocked AMD's?
Though I guess the real question would be which side uses Windows 40k to run the suits systems.

Space Marine battle-armor works reliably for centuries on end, if properly maintained. That rules out it being in any way a Microsoft product.

As for my own logo, I have a NERV themed unit. The Nerv Logo serves as my badge and banner. I'll see if I can get a screenie later.

I, much like Sarge, fight for the Microsoft forces in my youth.
