I decided to make this topic after reading another forum that shall remain nameless.
Am I the only one sick of reading fluff that is either ridiculously inaccurate or plain stupid? Im not having a go at peoples efforts or such, I'm only talking about people who insist on making ridiculous exagerated back stories or rehashing other peoples tired stories. So I doing a quick "rules topic", to give people an idea of not what to do.
Starting, heres my quick dos and don'ts.
1/Your chapter isn't the oldest in the imperium. They are'nt secretly the first founded chapter, the Dark Angels are, all the fluff says so. Don't rewrite the history for your convenience.
2/ Your chapter isn't the most loyal there has ever been to the Emperor. The Grey Knights are, all the fluff says so. Don't rewrite the history for your convenience.
3/ Your chapter aren't the Emperor's personal bodyguards. The Adeptus Custodes are, all the fluff says so. Don't....you get the idea.
4/ Chaos Tau. No
5/ Your chapter was cut off from the warp from the rest of your chapter for hundreds of years.....so was everyones else it seems. Anyone else actually not been cut off from the imperium by a warp storm/ship crash etc? This really has been done to death.
6/ Necron Gods that apparently control the Tyranids, the Tau, The Harlequins, The US Senate, The Girl Guides etc. Ok Necron players, can you stop trying to convince us a C'tan is behind EVERYTHING?
7/ Cypher is Cypher. He is not the Emperor. He is not Lion El Jonson. (told to me by a GW source himself for those who would argue)
8/ Female Space Marines. No. Space Marines must be male, the zygotes are keyed to male hormone types etc as stated in the fluff.
Anyone else care to add?
