It's that time again for the gaming community:
The Paradox of Tolerance means you cannot allow hate or fascism to run free or it will destroy other groups as that is their goal. You cannot be "apolitical" in such a situation as doing so means you are siding with the oppressors against the oppresed.

But because it includes a a fat dollop of my own terrain.

It's finished. 2000 points of Blood Axes built using the army list from Rogue Trader's "ere we go". Every model is fully metal and original apart from the @ramshackle_games tanks. It has taken literally years to complete. See them at BOYL on Friday night being murdered by harlequins.
