I admit, Ahab makes more sense. Yarrick has a skeleton of a tiny greenskin on his gun and a tank called the Fortress of Arrogance so he's certainly more Ahab. I think his stint at gardening with his power klaw blinded me to it

You forgot some of the more blatant rip offs:
Sly Marbo. Ok, if this really needs to be explained--go rent a little movie called "First Blood."
Creed. I've always thought of Creed as Patton with a slightly more affable nature. Though Cruddace never mentioned if Creed's matched pistols had ivory handles or not--because we all know that only a New Orleans pimp would have pearl handles...
- There used to be a Forge World tank commander that is Oddball from Kelly's Heroes. He even had a loudspeaker for his tank...
- The basic design of the Space Marines and power armor came from the "Starship Troopers" novel.
- The Van Saar are Freemen from Dune
- The Delaque are from Dark City

Duke Sliscus kind of reminds me of Afro Samurai
Maybe it was the influence of an old book cover, but I saw the SS Troopers as marines.

I guess I saw them as marines and termies, and the bigger suits as dreads.

In Kaiserdean's defense, the first time I showed my dad a beaky he thought it was from Starship Troopers.
On a side note, Mephiston once dug himself out from under a building and fought a bunch of orks with his bare hands... naked. I know I've heard of this before (probably from Heracles) but can't place it.
