Or purity seals, too.

Like, there's two different kinds of things that both sort of...

You know, involve there being, like, papers attached to it.

But, like, these are things – like, an oath of moment is, like, before battle, space marines will, like, write down, like, what their goal is for this fight or, like, make a vow that, like, this – you know, the enemy won't pass this point or something.

And then they'll, like, adhere that to their armor to, like, hold them to it, right?

And, you know, this was –

They started putting these on the armor of the models, these little bitty – you could see these scraps of paper adhered by wax seals because they made the power armor the Space Marines had have more of a medieval knight vibe.

That's a big part of the 40K aesthetic is you have a lot of these medieval weapons and armor, but it's also futuristic.

That's a big part of the appeal of the aesthetic of the setting.

Yeah.

And it appealed to people so much.

And there's so many fans of Warhammer in Ukraine that like one, a lot of young Ukrainian men started going into battle.

They started putting purity seals on their armor, like to the extent that like now people make and sell purity like seals that you can put on your gear.

Right.

yeah yeah like it's it's it's fucking wild and there's even like if you look down there there's another example of one on a guy's armor with a bunch of like warhammer patches on his body yeah yeah it's nothing but warhammer stuff going from nothing but warhammer mechanic is more space marines got an imperial guard one from the yeah the death watch of creek yep or the death core creek sorry

Well, and that picture that you're looking at, Joe, came from a two-year-old post in the Warhammer 40K subreddit that read, Greetings from Ukraine.

Yeah, this has become really popular here because many of the military are Warhammer fans.

So many of the volunteers who help the military try and find merchandise or patches of this type for them as a nice gift, right?

It's and I'm not, by the way, like we're talking about this in the context of people taking Warhammer the right way or the wrong way.

I don't have any issue with this.
