Looks fine, i'd make sure to have plenty of iron crosses to keep distance with those damn swastikas. I'm not sure how you could do the catachans.. I guess just do a test model with this current paint scheme and adjust accordingly.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/447971/4249278.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/447971/4249278.page GMT Re:The 4th Reich Imperial Guard lol well I didn't want to risk it cuz I am not a very good painter! ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/447971/4249352.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/447971/4249352.page GMT The 4th Reich Imperial Guard http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/447971/4249566.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/447971/4249566.page GMT The 4th Reich Imperial Guard
The easiest I find is to paint the whole thing white, then paint a line on each eye instead of a dot. I have done like... 8 guys that way.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/447971/4249680.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/447971/4249680.page GMT Re:The 4th Reich Imperial Guard no.

Call it something else, but not the Fourth Reich. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/447971/4249699.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/447971/4249699.page GMT The 4th Reich Imperial Guard
In English Reich is sometimes used as a loan word, which denotes a historical national state of Germany.

The Iron Cross and Reich have a long history with Germany and the cross is still used to this day. Reich is honestly a great word to describe what the Imperium is. There is a reason that the Nazi's are the Third Reich. Calling something the 4th Reich doesn't mean it has to be associated with the one before it.

If anything, maybe change it so its like... the 24th Reich or something, just to get it away from the lower numbers.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/447971/4249794.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/447971/4249794.page GMT Re:The 4th Reich Imperial Guard http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/447971/4251057.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/447971/4251057.page GMT Re:The 4th Reich Imperial Guard

Then don't call it the Fourth Reich, as that is tied into the Neo-Nazi culture.

Calling the the 24th Reich, I'm fine with. But the 4th has too much history behind it to be Politically Correct.

I'm not saying it's a bad idea, I'm just saying change then name a bit.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/447971/4251064.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/447971/4251064.page GMT Re:The 4th Reich Imperial Guard http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/447971/4251152.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/447971/4251152.page GMT Re:The 4th Reich Imperial Guard

I didn't look that far into it, but thanks for linking and informing.

I completely agree. Plus you are avoiding the negative and going with a historical theme. And anyone not willing to accept that, well you said it best.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/447971/4254457.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/447971/4254457.page GMT The 41st Reich Imperial Guard

Or don't bother flaming someone's thread for something you want to misinterpret into something to bitch about.

(By the way, apostrophes do not make plurals. Sorry for the Grammar Nazi... COME ON! I couldn't resist!)]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/447971/4254561.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/447971/4254561.page GMT The 41st Reich Imperial Guard SS then there is absolutely nothing wrong with modelling an Imperial Guard army on the Reichswher of the third Reich. The soldiers that made up the majority of Germany's armies during the second world war WERE NOT NAZIS!!! The population wasn't completely Nazi. Hell, even by 1933 when Hitler took power they didn't have the 50% vote that was required to legally take power (they had 39% of the vote which was more than any other party in the Reichstag). Hitler was appointed chancellor- becoming Fuhrer when Hindenburg (the president) died.
You are at complete liberty to model an army on the forces of the third Reich (though it would be wise to avoid the fighting units of the SS) as they were normal soldiers just like all military forces today. Anyone that takes offence to that is just ignorant so ignore them.
You can trust me, I have spent the past year studying the Weimar and Nazi period of German history at Advanced Higher level in school.
That said, the commander model does look like a slightly balding Hitler (I have always though that, so if you use him, don't paint a mustache...)
