Initially I was going to question the choice for the US, But MOAR DAKKA is just about right.
We need to build a WAAAAGH!
146
I can see where WAAAGGHH and WAAAALLLLL got confused...
36
We'll build a wall, an' make 'em humies pay for't!
14
Make America WAAAAAGH again!
14
pronounced MAH-WAH. this is perfect.
2
i to was presently surprised, but we are going to build the greatest WAAAAGH ever, and we are going to make the 'UMMIES PAY FOR IT

The thought of Great Britain having a massive orgy that spawns a god is possibly the funniest thing about this all.
And as an Aussie I can confirm the accuracy of this, although there already is a space Australia, and it is called Catachan, those guardsmen have too much armour and the nids aren't emu looking enough

One day, I will convert an emu Tyranid army.

Just for those who weren’t aware, the Emu War was a thing that happened.
16
Emu War
The Emu War, also known as the Great Emu War, was a nuisance wildlife management military operation undertaken in Australia over the latter part of 1932 to address public concern over the number of emus said to be running amok in the Campion district of Western Australia. The unsuccessful attempts to curb the population of emus, a large flightless bird indigenous to Australia, employed soldiers armed with Lewis guns—leading the media to adopt the name "Emu War" when referring to the incident. While a number of the birds were killed, the emu population persisted and continued to cause crop destruction.

That would look hilarious

You don’t mean you’ll convert an army of emus into tyranids do you? We already lost one war against them. We don’t need to go adding things from the hive fleet to make them MORE deadly.
8
It'd be amazing... But no you prob. won't ;)
3
No, I probably won't.
...but I might

And if you do, please do post it!

Mate you should come to Cardiff on a friday evening, that place is a cattle market that even Slanesh would be shy in
22
I recall that Bangor University in North Wales was, in a Sun article, described as 'the most sexed up university in Britain', with more student pregnancies than any other uni.
It's the mountains. There's something about being dominated by Snowdonia over you all the time that makes us want to fuck.
11
I’m listening...
5
Went on a stag do there. mates wife warned us it was "a bit slaggy".
She was not wrong.

Georgian England was a party. Part of the reason Victorian England was so reserved.
11
The thought is enough to make my monocle drop in my cup tea. Positively lurid scandal.
6
nids aren't emu looking enough
but some of them look at lot like naked cassowaries

Opium wars. We're serious about our drug fueled orgies.

Russia is the Imperium
Now listen here, you lil shit, I'll have you know that...
USA is Da Boyz
Nevermind. Carry on.
108
Both are a scourge on the galaxy let's be real
30
with one being super massive superstitious militaristic force that lost its former glory and seeks to regain it And another willing to constantly fight and almost fetishizing DA GUNZ while spending even more money on the military
34
USA and Russia should be switched.
Have you seen Russian engineering? Its a miracle that shit works. Go watch some dash cam videos, its basically orks in track suits.
USA makes more sense as an imperialist xenophobic empire with innacurate and distorted religious beliefs.
But this was all set up for the Australia punch line so it doesn’t matter :)
72
Have you seen Russian engineering? Its a miracle that shit works.
Yeah, that still sounds like the Imperium

The Machine Spirit requires precisely 3 and a half teaspoons of oil every morning and a thorough massage routine, lest it causes the Chimera to explode in your face.

lest it causes the Crimea to explode in your face.
FTFY

Orks in track suits.... Damn hahah
34
I now need to see this. I cannot find a version on google.
7
I need an orkboy in either a tracksuit and a slide cap or in the basic S.T.A.L.K.E.R bandit outfit saying "A nu, cheeki breeki iv damke!"
4
Someone draw a picture, I need to have this tattooed 😂
2
I'm picturing him with shades on too.

Another argument for Russia is that they have the mummified corpse of Lenin in a glass sarcophagus. They don't have to sacrifice people though.
12
Not that we are aware of.

Roboute is trying to make the Imperium Great Again. He was waiting until they needed him the most.
2†
Considering Guilliman is about lessening the Imperium's shittiness, and actually started talking to the Eldar instead of killing them, I don't think Trump is a great comparison.
8
Economy Up. Unemployment Down. Home ownership up. Taxes down.
And the Eldar are the North and South Koreans.
GBP has dropped in value compared to the USD, take advantage of that on Forge World. Or pretend it hasn't kek.
-5†
GBP has also increased in value again from when the shock of Brexit subsided. It still fluctuates, but definitely within the bandwidth.
Economy Up. Unemployment Down. Home ownership up. Taxes down.
So? All this has been happening for longer than he's been President. Trump wasn't the cause for this, and the fact that taxes have gone down isn't necessarily a good thing, especially when you look at the massive tax cuts the rich have been getting compared to the miniscule cuts for poorer citizens.

Japan would be the necrontyr pre conversion

> middle east
> nation
66
Same with EU, just sayin'...
71
I'm more lenient on that example, since it is slowly becoming one nation, what with the closing of the exit strategies, building up its own military, mandatory tithes from its subordinate states, laws member states have to follow regardless of the situation, etc.
But a warhammer subreddit isn't really the place to go into Europolitics.
19
One country maybe, a single state. But not one nation.
36
Tau also have distinct planets right? I'm not that into the tau fluff. How independent are the world's? Different cultures?
9
Fair.

state [stāt] NOUN
- a nation or territory considered as an organized political community under one government.

Not really. These things have always been part of an economic and political union. It wasn't as if 10-20 years ago states had greater choices or something.

I mean if we are going to get pedantic Nation doesn’t necessarily mean state.
2
Lmao Aussie. Big ass insects..
57
Ah yes... The nation of Great Britain...
39
Let's see you find a 40k proxy for the Welsh.
63
In terms of importance? Easy, Squats.
68
Lol, if any welsh people had computers they would be right pissed off at that.
50
No I'm just sad :(
6
Hey, back in the 90s my (in Wales) primary school had an Acorn II computer! It could run Lemmings and Pod, a welsh language game in which you could tell a tomato to do stuff like 'splodio' (explode), 'nofio' (swim), 'canu' (sing), and 'rhedeg' (run)
6
Finreht Highlanders?
3
Not enough consonants.
7
Like it or not, they are also Aeldari. They just spell it was two extra Ls.
3
That'd be more of a hissy sound, The dari bit fits with welsh naming though.
Roll the r slightly though. Aeldarrhrhrii.

Something involving a dragon obviously.

Tanith...

Considers? Darling we are superior.

Our flag has red on it to make it go faster!

OK, the Australia one made me LOL. XD
11
Australia are actually the Tyranids right?
10
Australia is the war.

day in day out trying to get first in line for centrelink

If so, they're doing a horrible job of collecting biomass. They're more like some isolationist single-planet species who shoot down anything and everything that comes into their territory (while outlawing guns within it).

Hey! We have a 28% obesity rate (and rising) thank you very much!

Great Britain is still part of the Tau Empire until next year - more comparable to the Vespids - useless and no one wants them and will be cut out of the empire to be forgotten pretty soon.
5
im British and can confirm, we will be resigned to obscurity after next year
6
I doubt it. We'll lose quite a bit of political clout, but we're still in nato, the UN, head the commonwealth, have close ties with America, have existing trade with a bunch of countries that isn't going to disappear, etc.

Well if you guys want back in we promise not to say 'told you so' right away...

Honestly, the way scotland voted, we might get scotland in the divorce anyways. Its the best child of them! All the inventors come from there. And Sean Connery.

I doubt it.

Ompf. That honesty on USA.

Silicon Valley would be the Ad-mech

Thanks for not listing the T'au as russia or china for once lol

Christ, what did chaos do to the resolution on this pic.

Thank you for deciphering that! I could not figure out who the Middle East were.
1
I can't either.

Australia hahaha

CHINA
Picture of Necrons
Older than everyone else, seeking to reclaim their lost glory. Despite being broken multiple times it just keeps coming back together and getting back up.
China does have that to be proud of they are empire builders always reforming into massive nations even after destruction.
They also like shamelessly copying technology en masse...
Copyright is really just a western concept. The rest of the world never really cared about it until westernization came along. In China, the traditional thinking is that if you have something good, you better keep it a fucking secret.
Keep it secret as opposed to make a profit from everyone having access to it? I don't see how this strategy benefits either society or the individual....
Wouldn’t this fact make them Orkier than America?
To be honest US is more like the Imperium because if anything defines the US is the corrupt slow bureaucracy. Sure we have a huge military but that's more because of the corrupt military industrial complex and less about more guns.
CIA = GSC lol
😣
No
