Can't help but notice a correlation...

Like that black marine looks oddly familiar. I'm pretty sure I saw a character like this somewhere...

Another is 3rd ed Salamanders. Like the influence of the 90s black action heroes is obvious. I recognised at least one prominent black actor on illustration.

All white Imperial Guard - fascination with Napoleonic/World Wars.

Diverse Imperial Guard - someone recently watched a Vietnam war or Iraq War movie.

Like it's not even about GW being mostly/all white, it's literally all about consumed media.

I find it somewhat hilarious that they still do the Scarface Marine thing and also that they randomly remember or forget that non-white people exist depending on what movie they watched recently.

I don't see this thread going anywhere spectacularly positive, so I'm going to call it here.
