Cato Sicarius, after force feeding Captain Ventris a copy of the Codex Astartes for having the audacity to play Deathwatch, chokes to death on his own D-baggery after finding Calgar assembling his new Eldar army.

I am pretty sure the british won, well we have an emperor, not a dictator ehrm president yeah president is what i meant.
Is this a late delivery Bush joke, or does someone in the world (who is not in america) actually not like Obama?
As to the grander argument. Tanks and APCs usually have two drivers stations, much like a plane, in case one dude says "oh for feth sake"(Thank you Eddy Izzard) and goes mud jumping into the tracks of the tank/apc behind him. However the real answer lies in the fact the Imperium is kinda a bass-ackards bad guy, and Brits always play villains in American Films.

Surely the Cadians have some basis in Canada. Canadian culture used to be quite British outside of the maple syrup and ice hockey, the mounties were red coats for instance.
As for the name: Cadia/Canada and of course the old French colonies in North America of Acadia.
No America = why the Imperium is so pissed off and hateful.

Um, no! They're nothing alike. We're talking about a hellish nightmare realm of insanity and suffering, where grotesque and bloated monstrosities rule with an amoral disregard for all life! The Eye of Terror hasn't got anything on that.

There's more different accents by area in the UK then anywhere else in the world, or so I've heard. Fact is I used to be able to identify which village in Perthshire someone was from by their accent, back when I was a teenager.
They seem to have taken all the DoW Guardsmen voices from Lahndan. It's be great to hear some hobbit voices (Zomerzet) or Brummies (maybe from the Blahck Controi?). Or maybe some other Commonwealth accents? Siewth Ifricaans perhaps?
I haven't seen any Canadian troops anywhere, but tall, blonde and healthy does not mean Cadian. Maybe if America did turn into a post-apocalyptic landscape, 2-3 generations later the Canucks might be Cadian.
I think the only reason there's not any Scots language in GW is that it's too obvious a cultural reference. Orks are based on English football hooligans, but the only Celts are the generic Tanith mix.
Run a whole lot of wfrp and other rpg's, play The Woods and Kill Team, gather and look mournfully at imperial guard knowing I'll never finish enough to use them on the tabletop

We drive on the left because most of us are right handed and it makes it easyer to swing a sword into someones face as we go past..the pilot of a landspeeder would be too busy manuovering to be able to fire his boltpistol.
The british started out conquering everything, but it was due to their negligence that there was the great dark ages before the emperor arrived.
You try to blame us for the dark age of technology? Yours is the military that relies too heavily on tech.
i actually say that Guard are british and SMs are american
...the guards accents and speech are not only there because its sexy, but also to give an impression of the cultural divide between them (high and low gothic) and you cant do this with america because its a cultural wasteland.
If you had to fit the americans in theyd probably be the ultramarines..their not manly enough to be guardsmen.
German: They'll fight anything and win
- im sure they thought that
British: They do so by throwing ridicilous amounts of manpower at the enemy.
-dont know where your getting this stereotype from, we tend to keep smaller yet better quality forces, maybe your thinking of ww1 but that was after the war reached somewhat of a stalemate and the empire/imperium needed us.

Eisenhower? Rommel? Schwartzkopf?
Celts are eldar. The craftworlds are all named after old festivals and the eldar tongue is mostly modified gaelic and celtic.
