I don't know of a IG army, but back in the 1st edition of Space Hulk the Dark Angels originated from a world that drew heavily on native american iconography. The world was overrun by a genestealer cult and the marines painted their Terminator armour white as part of their funeral rites before their final confrontation with the cult as they were not expecting to survive the battle.

How old are you rowboatjellyfan? The Mephiston and Ragnar Blackmane models are some of the oldest in GW's catalogue. Those date back to 2nd/3rd edition 40K. For the time, they were considered pretty damn awesome.

I am well aware of how old these mini's are, but that doesn't excuse the lack of an update.
If I put Old Pukemane in a Wolves army he'd just look off, which is why I invested in the Upgrade Pack and made my own.
For the Lv3 Psyker of the Blood Angels, Mephiston has been well overdue an update, hell, I believe Tiggy got one.
That Ultramarines LC dude is actually Sicarius from '06, which disappoints me because the 2nd Ed mini the new one was based on puts Smirk-hawk to shame.

As a Russian, I love those random Russian hat guys in the Imperial Guard. Heck, I'd buy them riding bears.
Don't hate me, I'm first generation American D: I have a CCCP birth certificate and a USA citizenship thing. One of my parents is also Ukrainian.
Edit: Isn't DKOK more German than French? I mean "Krieg" is a German word, not French D:
If anything, DKOK is the general German army, while Steel Legion is the Afrika Korps lead by Rommel.

Bit off topic but DKOK looks just as much WW1 French as German, the name has nothing to do with it.
DKOK are definitely not the WW2 German army as they looked very different, and did not operate in the way that the DKOK do. DKOK are all about artillery like WW1, whereas the German's in WW2 were all about movement.
Steel legion is part of the Armageddon campaign which IIRC is based on Stalingrad and Soviets v German Army Groups attacking the USSR. So not based on the Africa Korp.
Just thought that might clarify things a bit.
Cheers

I just don't like the far pushed things. I mean, you can of course see Ultramarines are based on the Romans, and I like that. But it's not like you can't play them if you don't like Roman culture, for instance. That's also the reason I hate SW: you gotta love Vikings to love them.

At this point SW are much more Space Furries than Space Fantasy Vikings. Their current aesthetics are nowhere near as cool as some real medieval scandivanian aesthetics would be on marines.

Progress is like a herd of pigs: everybody is interested in the produced benefits, but nobody wants to deal with all the resulting gak.

This.
Also, has anyone seen Shark Boy and Lava Girl? (I came across Nostalgia Critic's review of it yesterday). Anyway, this bit made me think of space wolves: https://youtu.be/EMmb0G1iNWs?t=509
Not just a Shark-shaped rocket, but shark shaped chairs. Ones that look at best uncomfortable, and at worst dangerous (how sharp are those teeth?). Anyway, it made me think of SWs because it's exactly what happens when you try to shoehorn in a vague theme absolutely everywhere. You just end up with something that looks absolutely ridiculous and which stinks of 'trying too hard'.
