and btw; if you know the lore of warhammer / warhammer 40k, the human empire have a lot of consonant with the "third reich"...

That's total bullcrap. They have a lot of consonant with medievil "germany" / europe and pre WW1 germany. Just because sth is resembling germany doesn't mean it's resembling the third reich

[p30pl3h4t3m3]

emperor (hail to leader), the whole astarte organisation is like WaffenSS including the tasks, no tolerance against xenos and invidiousness of non 100% humans, reclamation of land (planets), human master race ideology, military industry organisation ... there are a lot of points & inspiration from the third reich, mixed with elements of the catholic inquisition.

your medieval "warhammer fantasy" planet is just a lost planet in "chaoswarp" in wh40k universe, with no contact to the empire, that's why they have mediavel technology and society.

do your homework before talking with warhammer nerds... ;-)

edit: you should take a look at wh40k officer uniforms and compare it with ww2 german uniforms. damn, even the "empire eagle" looks like the "reichsadler"

[Stymie Jackson]

40k imagery has nothing to do with this game. The Warhammer Empire has nothing to do with the 40k Imperium. And both Warhammer Fantasy and Warhammer 40k have NOTHING to do with Nazis.

Let's talk about the Aquila, which is latin for Eagle btw. The Aquila is a symbol of the Eastern Roman Empire. The double-headed imperial eagle is identical to the eagle on the flag of Albania which itself is based on Eastern Roman Empire iconography.

This eagle is not a 40k thing, nor is it a Nazi thing. It's Roman. The Reichsadler was a direct ripoff of the Roman Aquila, you have your sources of inspiration ass-backwards. Do a google search for Albanian Flag and Eastern Roman Empire and try again.

As for 40k, it's based upon Russian WW2 uniforms not Nazi uniforms. Commisars and the Imperial Guard are 100% Russian influenced. Don't believe me? Look it up. You have no idea what you are talking about if you mention the Waffen SS and 40k in the same sentence.

And finally in Warhammer Fantasy the Empire is based up 18th and 19th century Germany. Full stop. It is not the Imperium of 40k, and has nothing in common with 40k. Look at the original German Flag from the unification of 1871. Then look at the Warhammer Empire flag.

Do your own homework.

And Kes already stated Blood and Honour was removed as a warband name. Who cares if it's still in this thread, it's been removed from the actual game itself which is all that matters.

[p30pl3h4t3m3]

romans, soviets, nazis, well there are all not known for human rights. you see russians, i see nazis, some pokemons. maybe all of them were inspiration, it's fictional. only games workshop know the truth. so i give up so everybody can be happy...

however you are wrong in the point that warhammer, warhammer 40k, necromunda and also mordheim are not linked together. before i scan any rulebooks cause of copyrights and laziness, google search ftw:

http://warhammer40k.wikia.com/wiki/Warhammer_Fantasy#The_Warhammer_World_and_the_Warhammer_40.2C000_Universe

the book "Realm of Chaos - Slaves to Darkness" linked warhammer and wh40k in 1988.

edit: just for the lols, the ww1 roman soviet nazi aka commisar of wh40k.

if you associate "Blood & Honour" with neo-nazis, you let them win.

nazis from past and present violated a lot of symbols and slogans. don't let them take it...

blood & honour should stay, maybe in some time instead of a neo-nazi group and third reich crap, we read in wiki "name of a warband in mordheim"

and btw; if you know the lore of warhammer / warhammer 40k, the human empire have a lot of consonant with the "third reich"...

^This guy have an excellent point.

How about forgetting the Nazi connotations and get rid of it because it is a RIDICULOUS sounding name for any Warband.

There is an abundance of juvenile and purile names - I had a Skaven Warband called the Merciful Slayers of Dragons...

Why put all the effort tnto making a dark and menacing game and then insert silly names that only serve to undermine the menace..

[Legio Mortis]

How about if you call it Honor And Blood, is it different then?
... Just saying...

If you take stuff out of it's context; that's two words combined and you turn into a nazi anywhere, pheew.. And someone thinks there might be nazis living in Mordheim.. it is actually as redicilous as stating that there might be, lets say.., necrons living.., in aa.., let's say germany...

Luckily the buddhists didn't lose the swastika to nazis ..ever.. ..Steel Legion did it.. And as for offtopic: good names alltogether..

[Starkfield]

Clever Devvers, can you not offer another Warband naming window to the community?

In all sincerity, the majority of Warband names are just bad. For the most part, they lack any authenticity. The provenience of the names, should surely be taken from the Warhammer universe.

Not made up by a random name generator...

Skaven names are particularly poor. Not the unit names - But the names of the actual Warbands.

When I play a Warband with a ludicrous name - it shatters immersion for me. I would welcome a new selection of names that add flavour and realism rather than what, for the most apart we have now; which is a set of ill conceived Warband names.

[Countess Djasmin]

I'm not a fan of most of these either. I somehow ended up with a Chaos Spawn named 'Wade'. That's ridiculous.

I really don't understand why we can't name our own warbands, and perhaps leaders. If the worry is keeping it authentic, I think we can be trusted to think of more appropriate ones ourselves too.

[sorrowquin]

You will be able to do that

I can't remember which names I suggested it's been so long, other than the "Backstabbing Backstabbers" and the "Sisters of Mercy". Must be some closet 80's UK alternative music fans at GW headquarters :)

Let's face it, someone had to suggest "Sisters of Mercy" sooner or later. It was unavoidable :)

Ironically when Mordheim was released the Mordheim music mix tape that Games Workshop had in their stores to help promote the game included "In the Temple of Love" by Sisters of Mercy among it's contents and it was the most recognisible of the tracks.

Nazis and Rascist would just abuse "Blood and Honour" and thats not necassary and I bet all of them would choose this name. I dont know where you are from, but "Blood and Honour" is in europe a very known neo-nazi organisation, to use their name as a warband name isn´t right. Btw by your way of arguing, it would be ok to call a skaven warband ku-klux-klan or something this way.

This game and the developers shouldn´t become part of those who accept and tolerate this or giving them a warband where they can have their warband named after the Hitler youths slogan.

Also one of the developers already said that this name would be removed, thank you

no its based upon the Holy Roman EMPIRE, which was earlier and included modern Germany as well as several other countries. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holy_Roman_Empire

Anyway best to remove Blood & Honour if it has associations with facists.

[Kes]

This has been taken care months ago, and just FYI, people can rename their warband now :)
