That's quite impressive really. If you did buy it just have to paint over the hearts with some other hearldy. Though with the tanks it'll be harder to do than on the white shoulder pads...

If I had the money laying around. I would so buy them and field them all over the place. My Pretty Purple Marines of JUSTICE would lay waste to any snickering Xenos who dared mock their perfectly formed faces!

Seriously. Its an awesome paint job and a hillarious theme.. I mean they even have the not the face plasma marine.

i guess that army is good for a troll...

also, marines with **** insignias are totally fluffy. i mean really, the imperium outputs 100x the daily genocide of the **** party. however, in order to play with jews and others of non-arian decent, i would keep the logos out.

the salamanders are just as racist and ignorant as any space marine chapter.

i'll just come right out and say it... they would declare exterminatus on africa in a heart beat.

but to be fair i lol'd at your joke, regardless.

p.s. thanks for the pic.. i was looking for a good conversion idea for this guy... kinda felt guilty taking my third ed force commander and counting him as he'stan (even though he looks very similar).

Ah yes I have seen thoes drawings all over an image board that will remain nameless. But I gotta admit the paint job on thoes are great! The head conversions look quite good too. They give The pre heresy Emperor's Children a run for their "pretty boy" chapter status. I'd Play them, Im not ashamed to admit :rolleyes: except I really dislike how he added the heart shaped jewelery on the sides for the rhinos/LR. The look just doesnt blend. Its too, well, you get the idea

Which one? Someone on Work in Progress made a Hello Kitty Chaos Space Marine Army, and I've seen a Hello Kitty Sisters of Battle force as well, but I can't remember where. I thought both would be rather fun to play against. But, then again, I'm NQR.

I think the pretty marines are a great army. Seen it a few times now, and it always makes me grin. Surprising to see it go for that much, though :O

As for marines covered in Swastikas, I honestly don't see what the problem is. The symbol goes back a hell of a long way before Hitler's regime took to it, with it being a hindu symbol for freedom or something for centuries. That's where people need to lighten up. If you're getting offended by plastic toy soldiers, because of how they are painted, chill out :/

I do agree, but the problem is 99.9999999% of the public would associate it with the holocaust, and that is not the kind of thing you want the general public to lynch you for.
I mean, I'd personally be pretty pissed if I saw someone with a N*zi marines army, even though I know that the swastika was misappropriated for an evil regime, and the real meaning has absolutely nothing to do with mass genocide.

Plus, you could turn it all round and point out they also used lots of eagle symbolism, templar crosses, militant uniforms, long black leather coats, experiments with machines and men intermeshed..
See where I'm going here?
Anything can be bad so long as you skew the view of it enough.

But anyway, back to light-heartedness: The Hello Kitty Marines...

the image of the swastika may pre-date the **** regime, BUT the swastika marines i have seen depict it black, on a white circle, on a red flag or background, that is the **** flag not merely a swastika emblem, which is a disgusting practise to put in a sci-fi wargame, especially as most people wouldnt even put it in a World War 2 game.




those hello kitty marines are horriffic lol! but all in jest. what i like best about the pretty marines is how well they have been done, at least this manga/anime - 40k crossover mostly takes the micky out of anime more than 40k, its a light hearted theme army, with the theme "look how stupid anime is"

i like it

and cheers to fantomex for those thread pics, they had me chuckling away for a while! especially the Monolith/monorail one, thats just inspired!

Not only are the Pretty Marines impressive in and of themselves, but the $999 winning bid is equally as impressive. Notice also the previous canceled bid of $1,249.99. I'm hoping the buyer is an experienced player because I expect losses to this army will be especially devastating to some opponents!

See, I haven't seen the flag on mini's as such(well, except for an image earlier in the thread), with the only guys I know to have done it have a white symbol, returned to it's original axis, over a grey/dark background, or the tau player with it who done it in orange over white. Personally, I don't care what they put on their mini's, seen as I'm not gonna be insulted by it, but I'd either be a little more reluctant to play a game with them, or be extra harsh against them :P

not seen the ww2 german pics, but really, we play a game where planets are exterminated for for having the wrong view, religion etc, and rips off the inquisition, who killed more innocents in their reign of terror, how bout SC influenced by historical warlords? i think the hobby itself has this integrated in it anyway, im not saying i agree with the ideals of the afore mentioned political party, but it does seem hypocritical to slam a guy for painting his army as such, when the setting of the game is worse in that sense. i wouldnt like to see deep south marines in that case, as their is still a lot of rascism there, or catachans, who are clearly vietnam inspired, when americas national paranoia meant if you were communist, you didnt deserve to live, please, just dont be hypocritical, even britain had camps for german immigrants, the states had them for japanese immigrants, we tend to "forget" this, as the victors write history. again not endorsing it, just hate hypocrasy
