Do they really consider themselves as assholes, not just efficient ones? And were so determined to tell that to rest of the Imperium that they put it in their Chapter's name? If it's that, then they should have a plus for not having any kind of illusiona. Unless somebody from outside gave them their name. Then why did they accept it and why somebody called them like this, if almost everybody around do the same freakin' think?

But ok, this is Warhammer 40k - you can kill millions and still everybody may consider you as "nice guy" or - in rare cases - god (right, Emprah?). The name isn't for the Imperium, it's for the enemy. Flesh Tearers doesn't sound too good to have as an ally either, am I right?

It's to induce fear.
