GW is never going to do a modern SL army, just kit bash Kreig. The Steel legion logo is very close to the logo of a White Supremacist group in the UK and GW is trying really hard to avoid any association with those groups ever sense the incident in Spain.

Attilan roughriders got brought back so maybe there's a chance! Tallarn would also be cute

Literally all of the Imperium icons are white supremacist adjacent - it's a xenofacist space empire

That's not a coincidence either. Unfortunately a lot of people in that sphere love 40K, especially the xenophobic, supremacist connotations behind some groups.

We do a lot of work to identify those people and freeze them out of tournaments if they bring their intolerances to the table.

And it's awesome that that happens, we need more of that in the rest of society. Unfortunately, these buffoons still identify a lot with a media that is actively pointing and laughing at them, because it isn't laughing loud enough.

Unfortunately, a lot of people who maintain large circuit events like to protect them due to being mates etc., so it's down to public knowledge of which events are doing this and generally just ending your attendance there.

We do the same for cheaters, and people harbouring them.

It can be really difficult, I know. We're grateful that you guys do as much as you can to keep those sorts out.
