thanks a million.
already googled it and, though i did saw that site, i thought it was some sort of wiipedia for 40k, where facts are posted, not stuff like fluff. most other sites were plain bullshit and porn, or both .
but again.
Thank you
Pleasure to be of service Dutchie, just bear in mind that some of the stuff on there could be in accurate as its unmoderated, theres potential for fan fiction to worm its way in, if in doubt hit me up with a pm and il help you out.
That's true of most wikis, but it's not likely; just as people can edit in false things, so too can people edit them out. Everything I've looked for on either one of those sites (the wikia has had more content for me, which is why I prefer it) has been accurate and sources have been posted.
yeah I know that's mainly why I asked here for good stuff to get knowledge about fluff and post fan fiction/ army fluff. (question in between: If I write stories regarding my Ork army, which is correct fluff wise, is it FF or fluff?)
during my google adventures I found some crazy ass shit that explained that Orks were made by the emperor to test his space marines but that he lost control over them.
One criticism I'll make of Lexicanum is that the people who contribute seem to absolutely suck at reconciling different sources and sorting out referencing.. Take the article on Hrud, for example. Rather than presenting the 'nocturnal warriors of Hrud' and then the Xenology 'bendies' take on the Hrud, the writers simply bashed the two together without making it clear where one ended and the other began, with references to ratlike tails and bio-distortion fields in the same body of text. It reads very much like an attempt to create an overarching 'canon', when actually 40k is often quite pluralistic, especially when you bring the black library in and different authors start taking their own take on things.
It would have been infinately more helpful if contributors had simply stuck to outlining what different sources say about things with proper referencing, rather than just regurgetating every significant fact they've ever read in a continuous stream of text. that way, fluff writers could pick and choose which 'version' they would rather go with instead of being presented with this very made up canon which is, essentially, fan written.
