I think it depends. With people who know the game if you were using
it with a Chaos army I think the only problem you may have is with
Nazi's who think you are degrading them.
How you paint your minatures should be entirly up to you after all,
and if you aren't going to end up showing them to many people I don't
see any problems.
If you are nervous about it then don't but with the size of the
minatures we are talking about its not like it will be that obvious.

If someone in history used a symbol to notate themselves there is no
reason is shouldn't come up in the future or Science fiction just
because of it as long as the association bettween that item no
longer exists.
Reading from fluf Imperial Inquistions views about who are
actually traitors and who is no longer pure has to be destroyed or
converted sounds perilously close to Nazi principles anyway in which
case saying they believe in the next Reich would not neccasirlly be a
bad idea in background to a marine chapter!(could still be
contravertial but lets face it Tyranids or Nurgle armies arent
exactly 'fluffy bunnies').
