The ultra marines insignia looks like a toilet seat . plus the sisters of battle are from quebec . i will neverlook at those armies the same again. :

lol, the Sigil Sororitas is actually the Fleur de Lys, which is also the symbol of Baden Powell's "Boy Scouts" movement, which inspired the American Eagle Scouts.

Tau is a ladybug... darn it, can not unsee.

Thats funny lol.

You mean France. There was only one picture of a Sister of Battle in the Rogue Trader rulebook, the Sister in question was purging a marine from the Rainbow Warriors chapter - a reference to the (then recent) sinking of the Rainbow Warrior.

You have a point im from canada so when i see the fleur de lis the first thing that comes to mind is Quebec.

There is a freight company in New Zealand which uses the Chaos symbol as their logo. Its hugely printed on all their trucks.

Its supposed to represent their deliveries go in all directions or something I imagine, but it was funny to see it for the first time.

Or a Necron Scarab...

I'm going to assume that the Kiwi freight hauler uses the Star of Chaos Undivided.

Its the circle with spikes coming out of it. I have contacted my network of Kiwis to let me know the name... watch this space ill be back with the name and links soon...

Funny stuff.

Here it is... they modernized very recently though soon this symbol shall be modernized.

My memory made it look a bit more chaossy so kinda anti climactic...

Thats hilarious.

The sign for Scientology is pretty close to the Chaos star.

As it should, since Scientology is actually a front for the Cult of Ancient Allies. Those allies being Zuvassin, the Undoer and Necoho, the Unbeliever.

The Fleur-de-lis has been around way longer than that though.

The The traditional arms of France have been around since the late 12th century, but the Fleur-de-lis is even older than that.

The dark angels symbol looks just like the insignia of the special air service

I think the fleur-de-lys as a Sororitas emblem was first used by GW in an illustration depicting the purge of the Rainbow Warriors, which was also a not-so-subtle denounce of France's state sponsored terrorist campaign against Greenpeace.

I wanna be the very best, like no one ever was. To get riptides is my real test, To paint them is my cause. I have travelled across the lands, searching far wide, for cheap Tau to collect, to make my army strong,
Tau, gotta' collect them all, it's you and me, and GW needs money,
Tau, Ohhh you were my best friend, until that last tournament....

Minor Warhammer Fantasy gods, actually.

Unlike the Imperium of Man, the Empire allows it's citizens to worship gods other than Sigmar, iirc. As long as they aren't the Ruinous Powers, of course.

Zuvassin and Necoho, though, are actually Gods of Chaos.

Only Chaos can have a God of Atheism.

I added the img tags, and it didn't work. So it probably is not an image.

You've got the google code for it.

You need to right click it, then do 'view image in new tab', then copy the URL from there.

I am almost certain that GW, being a British company, knew that and did it on purpose. Of course they could have just been making up awesome symbols for SM chapters and stumbled on that by accident (then again given how original most of GWs stuff is, would it really surprise you?)

Dont come to NZ people. Its teeming with orks and chaos... truly hard times for the loyal ones here.
