It sounds racist. All people from the middle east ride elephants, camels and flying magic carpets... /shrug. Oh well.

No, he was in general speaking to one area.
If thats racist then why hasnt the disney series of aladin been banned yet?


too many bloody people screaming about racism -_-
driving people to fething insanity.

Well - I don't write the stuff for GW, I can only report what I find and that came from their own site.

Just go read the fluff from the empire books and the area maps of cathay, then realise how wrong you are about posting about it being racist.

Well, I guess White Scars are racist towards Asiatics, Orks to blacks, Araby to the middle east, Kislev to the Russains, Tau to the Japenese/Chinese/Korean, and Vampire Counts to Western Royalty, Undead is to Goths, Daemons are to Tammy Fae Baker, and Ultramarines are to the real smurphs!

Pick an army and it's either a "good representation of the flavor we were looking for" or "racist about xyz culture".

Depends on the perspective I suppose.

Kislev, too, I think.

So, going on this the black templars are now known as the coloured templars too?
GW has to use ideas for the basis of an army, its alot easier for them to simply steal a cultures design and change it to thier needs rather than design one from scratch.

nippon

JD WAIT!

Listen man, I only ever bring up the racism thing in jest. I find calling things racist very funny. Please don't take me in seriousness. Just laugh it up.

And the colored templars thing, hilarious!
