Welcome
Hi, welcome to Warhammer 40k! Thanks for your edit to the Space Wolves 13th Company page.

Please leave a message on my talk page if I can help with anything! -- Montonius (Talk) 02:19, February 10, 2011

Pictures
Fantastic work on the Angels of Absolution, Algrim, just fantastic. You're our new go-to guy for the custom Colour Schemes. If you find any other Space Marine Chapter pages with discrepancies in the custom pictures, please feel free to create the correct scheme, your work is of the highest quality and is a welcome addition to the wiki. Thanks. Montonius 07:26, February 20, 2011 (UTC)

Great pics you have put up.

Exorcists
Algrim if your done with the Exorcists' page please remove your sentence apologising for the mess, though if not please add whatever more text you want before starting work on other pages. Great work, by the way. Thanks. Montonius 04:31, February 28, 2011 (UTC)

Thanks Algrim. By the way, I really just wanted to say that after a rough start you've become a real top-notch contributor whose work I look forward to seeing, and that's saying something considering how few solid editors we actually have. You're our go-to guy for Space Marines, so feel free to continue your replacement of our custom Space Marine Colour Schemes, your work is superior. Thanks again. Montonius 09:15, February 28, 2011 (UTC)

Crimson Fists
Algrim, I unlocked the Crimson Fists. Please work your magic on them, they are a great Chapter! Montonius 12:56, March 2, 2011 (UTC)

Great Idea
Great idea Algrim! Let's fix all the First Founding Chapters and the Chaos Space Marine Legions. Tell me which ones you want me to unlock first. Montonius 05:44, March 3, 2011 (UTC)

Emperor's Children is open - don't rework the text on that one unless something is missing as I have already carefuly rewritten much of it. Thanks. Montonius 09:13, March 9, 2011 (UTC)

Great job on the Blood Ravens. Which First Founding Legions do you want to hit next? We're half way there! Montonius 11:51, March 12, 2011 (UTC)

My Thanks
Let me just take a moment to thank you and congratulate you, Algrim, on the hard work you put into completing our First Founding Project. You have done a stellar job and should take a moment to bask in the satisfaction of what you have accomplished. It will take me several weeks to rewrite all the First Founding Chapters now that you have finished the overhaul but your work was just stellar. You have proven yourself to be the only other editor on this wiki who I can trust to get a job done. Kudos, just kudos to you for all you accomplished over the last few weeks. I know that with your continued assistance we can make the Warhammer 40k Wiki the single greatest source of Warhammer 40k lore on the Internet and the site of choice for all Warhammer fans everywhere here on good, old, Holy Terra.

Now, with that said, if you don't mind, don't rest on your laurels, because I have plenty more for you to do!

Next up:

1) To start with, please add in all the remaining Chapters from the two Badab War volumes that you have not yet done so or revamp their pages here on the wiki if they already exist. The Astral Claws and Red Corsairs in particular, cry out for your skills!

2) After that, if you could go through each Primarch and Legion homeworld for the First Founding Legions we just completed and add the artwork and bring them up to speed in your usual manner that would be very helpful.

3) Third, if you could make sure that the homeworld pages for each of the First Founding Legions either exist or can be fully fleshed out, that would be a real capstone to our First Founding Project.

4) And lastly, when all that is accomplished, if you could continue your way alphabetically through all our Space Marine and Chaos Space Marine Chapters, doing your thing to the existing ones and adding any we are missing according to our formatting standards, that would be fantastic. You are the Space Marine master, no question.

Get all that done and I have plenty more areas that could benefit from your skills. No rest for the wicked! Montonius 06:36, March 22, 2011 (UTC)

Lexicanum Again!
Algrim, DO NOT TOUCH Lexicanum content ever again! I just had to eat too much crow over this. If you can't write it yourself just leave it be, do not look, touch or think about the Lexicanum, we can't afford yet another blowup about this.

With that said, don't feel too bad. I feel this entire thing was a put-up job by Inquisitor S who is the Lexicanum Admin. The very concept of plagiarism on wikis is something I have always found astonishing, especially since the Lexicanum is rewriting material from copyrighted sources that they do not own and so are in copyright violation themselves. And his constant quoting of random percentages from some unknown software program is problematic at best. But they are gonna keep coming at us because we are starting to cut into their readership since we now get about 18-20,000 visitors a day, while they get around 30,000, so we have to be squeaky clean on this stuff. When I started as Admin we got 3,000 visitors a day, so thats quite an increase. Inquisitor S has been trying to shut this place down since 2005, if you look at our Main Page Talk discussions.

Deathwatch
Not to distract you from the Vraks project, but could you do a quick custom Chapter colour scheme for the Deathwatch? I did one months ago but the badge is wrong and also, i've got the colours on the wrong sides lol, the Imperial Fist badge and the silver Deathwatch arm should be reversed. You don't need to fix the text, just that one picture, if you get the chance. It's unlocked for you. Thanks. Montonius 05:28, March 27, 2011 (UTC)

Magnificent, just freaking magnificent on the Deathwatch page! Best custom job you've done yet. Thanks. Montonius 21:39, March 28, 2011 (UTC)

Astral Claws and Red Corsairs
All the pages you requested have been opened Algrim. I really need you to attend to the Astral Claws and the Red Corsairs next. Don't forget the picture licenses. Keep up the fantastic work; as you may have noticed our readership is growing by the day and your efforts are being seen by tens of thousands of people per day. Montonius 21:12, March 31, 2011 (UTC)

Storm Wardens
The Storm Wardens need your custom touch as well after the Astral Claws and Red Corsairs and when you retouch the Revilers and Praetors of Orpheus. Unlocked the Storm Wardens for you, but don't alter the text, I recently rewrote it. Thanks. Montonius 22:41, March 31, 2011 (UTC)

LOL. Ooops, my bad! Sorry, didn't realise what I asked you to do was locked. Duh! Opened! Montonius 00:46, April 1, 2011 (UTC)

Let me just say that with your Storm Wardens custom scheme you just outdid yourself. Magnificent! Simply freaking magnificient! (They are a personal favorite Chapter of mine) Montonius 04:47, April 1, 2011 (UTC)

Salamanders
Algrim, could you make up a gallery of images drawn from the Badab War Forge World books for the Salamanders like you did for all the other Badab War Chapters? I did it for the Dark Angels using the Vraks books, but we should add those Forge World galleries to every Chapter they exist for since their schemes are so nice and there is a consistency issue. Thanks. Montonius 09:33, April 6, 2011 (UTC)

Unlocked. Montonius 16:19, April 6, 2011 (UTC)

Avenging Sons
The Avenging Sons could use your special overhaul. The colours should be a light blue and the Chapter badge needs to be changed. Please see the gallery of images I added to the page for the right colour and what the badge looks like (cross-within a cross). Thanks. Montonius 21:48, April 9, 2011 (UTC)

Space Marine Chapters
Algrim thanks for the Avenging Sons, great work. If you are looking for your next project, please just start with our alphabetical list of Space Marine Chapters and start going down the list working your special magic on all those Chapters that have not yet received your treatment. Please also create any Space Marine Chapter pages we are missing so far. I'd like to see them all done. Montonius 13:58, April 12, 2011 (UTC)

Lorgar
Slaine69 19:57, June 26, 2011 (UTC)hey dude

Thanks again for spreading my work around, I really do appreciate it.

Cheers

Blood Gorgons
Algrim, thank you for your aid and dedication in systematically tackling large areas of the wiki as no other contributor ever does or is likely to ever do. Your efforts are invaluable to us. As always, thanks. Montonius 03:28, July 13, 2011 (UTC)

Chaos Fleets
Algrim, Chaos Fleet needs your sources and page numbers, please. Great work, by the way, you've really filled out some crucial parts of the wiki. Montonius 07:23, July 17, 2011 (UTC)

Bio-Titans
Algrim, I have a very special request. I was wondering if you could work your magic on the Tyranid Bio-Titan page. I have not been able to secure access to the original sources concerning the Bio-Titans and the page is poorly written and poorly explained. Even worse, there are no pictures to explain the different types of Bio-Titans listed. If you could make any enhancements to the page, I'd be very grateful. Thanks, as always, Montonius 15:17, July 18, 2011 (UTC)

P.S. Great job with the Bio-Titans and Hierophants. And welcome your brother aboard for me!

Hammers of Dorn Chapter Colour Scheme
Fantastic work on the Hammers of Dorn. I won't even ask how you got those pictures. LOL. However, if you could create a standard custom Chapter Colour scheme for them that would be great so we can maintain a standardised look across all the Space Marine pages where possible. If its too difficult, that's fine to. Thanks. Montonius 09:24, July 20, 2011 (UTC)

Siege of Vraks
Algrim, if you want a big freaking project, when you finish Tallarn, please go to the Siege of Vraks page and complete the summary of the history of the Siege of Vraks across all three volumes. You can see how to do it from the start I already began on the page. Prepare summaries of each chapter of each volume, proceeding chronologically as I did. Thats where I really need help at the moment. I will edit it when you finish it but I really just need someone to lay down the basic facts and you are really good at that work, as well as adding the appropriate pictures and a gallery of appropriate art. Finish that and I have some other massive projects for you to tackle in a similar vein. Thanks a bunch. Montonius 20:58, July 24, 2011 (UTC)

Unification Wars Congrats
You did an amazing job with this page! I was truly dreading gathering that information from all the novels. Brilliant, just brilliant! Kudos to you. Montonius 08:09, July 28, 2011 (UTC)

Some Thoughts
First, thank you for the compliments. They are always welcome. LOL. Lets go over your points one by one.

1. Grey Knights. Boom its open. Work your magic. Don't worry too much about it, I'll simply revise it from your foundation as always, and I eventually plan to rebuild the page using the new Codex anyway.

2. Siege of Vraks. I absolutely understand your hesitance as you can see I also just ran out of time on the page. Yup, it sure will be the biggest campaign page ever, but it was the most complicated campaign that Forge World ever designed. Don't be too detailed. The way I did it was I read a chapter from the Siege of Vraks Volume 1 and then summarised it instead of laying out every single detail. But, yeah, I'd love to see you do it because we are already so superior in quality on the subjects we've tackled this one will really stand out.

3. Xenos. In general, my suggesstion would be to leave the main xenos pages alone. I have a system worked out which I began to institute with the Dark Eldar page by which we will do for each major race what we have already done for the Space Marines. The problem is, it takes a really freaking long time to do it all right. It took us almost a full year just to get the Space Marines to where they are now and they are still not complete. I figure it will take us about 2 more years to fill out every faction to its proper extent. That's why I suggest first we work on the historical campaigns like the Siege of Vraks and save the xenos for later. However, if you still want to do the xenos, I will give you the guidelines for what I need for each race. Tell me which race you want to do and I will give you a detailed summary of what needs to be added, what pages need to be built from scratch, and where the information can be found and you can go from there.

My preference is for you to do Vraks simply because it needs to be done and your work on the Unification Wars was exactly what we needed in this area. Vraks is very similar to that work, just on a much larger scale than you've done before. So tell me what you want to do and if its the xenos, tell me which race and I'll give you the list of what I need. As always, you rock. Thanks. Montonius 05:22, July 29, 2011 (UTC)

Eisenstein
Algrim, love ya for that picture of the Eisenstein; I looked forever for one to put there and gave up!Montonius 07:45, August 20, 2011 (UTC)

Sisters of Battle
Zach, if you wouldn't mind, go ahead and fill in the rest of the Orders for the Adepta Sororitas. You did a fantastic job with the Bloody Rose. The template I created for the Adepta Sororitas Orders is on the Templates page. Montonius 12:06, August 21, 2011 (UTC)

Thank you for the research on the colour schemes, Zach, that is very helpful. It was hard to figure it out because the colour schemes tended to change from picture to picture and model to model. I figured you might have a better source:) Montonius 23:54, August 24, 2011 (UTC)

Exodites
Zach, if you could get me page numbers for the Sources section for the Exodites, that'd be great, particularly the 2nd Edition Eldar Codex, which I assume is the source for most of that material since the Exodites have pretty much been written out of the more modern incarnations of Warhammer 40k, unfortunately. It's rare material and should be sourced more closely as a result, if you can. Fantastic work on that page, by the way. Thanks. Montonius 10:31, August 27, 2011 (UTC)

Sigusmund Picture?
Greetings

Where in the God-Emperor's name did you find the picture of Sigismund?

Welcome Back
Welcome back, Zach, we missed you and we've grown quite a bit in your absence. The page is unlocked, didn't even know it was lockedor I would have opened it long ago.Montonius 01:49, September 21, 2011 (UTC)

Squats page open. Montonius 01:55, September 23, 2011 (UTC)

Eldar
Hi Zach, thanks for completing the Eldar page. Thanks again, you're doing fantastic work. Montonius 03:57, September 28, 2011 (UTC)

Necrons
Hey Zach, your Necron Lord page is perhaps the best you've ever done. Truly great work. Thanks. Montonius 01:34, September 29, 2011 (UTC)

Hello, where did you get the picture of the mournival and Horus from? I really like the art style.

Kks110 23:11, October 1, 2011 (UTC)

I THINK I LOVE YOU
Alright brother, just wanna commend you on what a quality job your doing with this Wiki. Im pretty new to the whoke WH40k scene Ive just finished reading Fulgrim and the 4 before that in the Heresy series and Im genuinely Hooked line & sinker. Ive been studying the Wiki all day and Im pretty up to speed with everythin, I think. Theres so much to cover. I have no real desire to play the board game at any point, but the novels, wow, I genuinly aim to read them all, not just the Heresy series haha, infact Ive just ordered the Space Wolf Omnibous V1. Thats all anyways, just wanted to say Keep up the Good Work and fuckin ignore that SpaceMarine asshole blowing off about copyright infringement, like your pal said to him, your actually increasing the fan base of WH40K with this site so in effect doing them a favour, I cant see them suing or anything like that, you just might wanna be careful with copy & paste's etc.

Mark.

Angels of Absolution
Angels of Absolution open. Montonius 03:01, October 11, 2011 (UTC)

Zach you need to add the source and page numbers for those pictures of the Angels of Absolution to the Sources section of the page. Thanks.

hey man hows it going, dude i was wondering if you have facebook profile or any email adress see ya, May the emperor protecs you¡

I can be reached at stingerwooten@hotmail.com Algrim Whitefang 15:25, October 11, 2011 (UTC)Algrim Whitefang

Titan Legions
Well Zach if you are willing to take on a project of such enormous scope please be my guest! First design the template and let me review it, then move on and prepare a page for each Legion on the list. Add each page to the Adeptus Mechanicus category as well as the Collegia Titanica category you created (for the Loyalist Titan Legions), and create a separate category called Traitor Titan Legions for each Chaos Titan Legion. I will, of course, edit where appropriate, but you know the format as well as anyone. And good luck! Montonius 06:33, October 13, 2011 (UTC)

OK, Zach the Imperial Fists (Titan Legion) page looks good. Please take a look at the minor formating changes I made, and inorporate them into each separate page. Also add each page to the Imperium category. Thanks and good job! Montonius 03:56, October 14, 2011 (UTC)

Slow Down
Algrim, you need to slow down. Massive errors are once again creeping into your edits. Look at the Titan Legions (List) page please and compare what was there before my most recent edit. When you copied that material from whatever source you used to write the Schism of Mars section, you pasted whole sentences into the paragraph as well as character names that make no sense. Had I not found it when I was using the text for another page, it would just have been left there, and it made very little sense. Moving forward is great, but your haste is creating enormous amounts of work for me that could be avoided if you checked your work more closely. Just go slowly and deliberately and check each page with more scrutiny after you think it's finished. Thanks. Montonius 05:13, October 14, 2011 (UTC)

Dates
Zach, the dates you are quoting from old sources for the events of the Great Crusade and the Horus Heresy are in error. They have been replaced by the dates used in the new Horus Heresy series of novels for these events, which dates the start of the Horus Heresy to approximately 202-203.M31. Don't use the dates in the older sources, or if you do, use them as place holders and I will edit them to match the new chronology (which is only approximated because Games Workshop suddenly decided that they have made so many errors in dating over the years that they will never give an exactly precise date for "legendary" events again to avoid the need for further ret-conning, LOL). Montonius 04:49, October 15, 2011 (UTC)

Yeah, I know the problem. Its a huge pain in the ass. Every one of those dates in the timeline you showed me is completely wrong based on the new timeline, by about 200 years. Take a look at the wiki's Timeline chronology for M31 and you will see the closest approximations based on the novels that I came up with. Be aware those dates are APPROXIMATE and not dead-on and there is no official source at this time that deals with the conflict, save to note the novels are now canon and not the older edition material. In general, when dealing with the period, just use the citiation (Date Unknown.M31) and if you use a date from the timeline, make sure you show it is only approximate by using this citation (ca. 206.M31) as appropriate. Montonius 06:20, October 15, 2011 (UTC)

Sabbat Worlds Crusade
When you are done with all you want to accomplish for the Titan Legions, and as far as I know all that remains is to add separate pages for each type of Imperial/Chaos Titan, I have a page that could definitely benefit from your time and research. Our Sabbat Worlds Crusade page is completely bare and we need to start laying down some information there. After your absolutely herculean effort with the Titans, I though you might like to start on that project. Its another multi-pager that will take some time to research and prepare, but I'd like to see some progress there as it is the largest non-Space Marine Imperial campaign we have not yet even touched.

On another note, absolutely fantastic job with the Titans. Could not have been done to that level of quality without you. And as a reward for your efforts, I just wanted you to know that we now get over 100,000 page views globally on a daily basis and more than 30,000 individual users, up from less than 1,000 when I took over the wiki only 18 months ago. And that growth is in no small part because of the work you have accomplished here since February. Congratulations on a job well done, and we all look forward to your future contributions, Zach. Montonius 05:57, October 22, 2011 (UTC)

P.S. I wanted to bring your attention to another wiki I founded and operate, the Warhammer Wiki for Warhammer Fantasy. If you ever get tired of Warhammer 40k, as I sometimes do, the fantasy world is also a fun place to hang out and prepare pages for. This wiki is about 18 months old but I have had little time to work on it because of my duties here. Take a look, because with that wiki, we could easily make it the number one wiki on the net for Warhammer Fantasy, since WF does not have a real competitor wiki right now. Montonius 06:15, October 22, 2011 (UTC)

Open. Montonius 07:11, October 23, 2011 (UTC)

Hey thanks for the welcome!! I'll try my best to contribute!

Aaron Park 05:40, October 24, 2011 (UTC)

Sorry for not including this in the first message but I do have so questions regarding the leman russ wiki page! I have a picture from Aerion the Faithful off deviantart and I was wondering I could add it to the page.

Links below:

Welcomes
Zach, be careful about welcoming new members to the wiki, as it will lead new users to direct problems and complaints towards you, rather than to me. If you want to deal with them, by all means, go for it! But it will greatly detract from the time you have for editing, and the wiki needs your skills there more than on administration duties. Montonius 06:12, October 24, 2011 (UTC)

Steel Confessors
Hi, just liked to know how to get the steel confessors chapter master, he looks so wicked!!! Thnx

Paraphrasing
First I just wanted to say good job on the paraphrasing, you're doing a great job. With that said, however, when paraphrasing you are leaving a little too much information out of the final edit. I will show you what I mean. Take a look at the articles for Tigurius and Torias Telion. I re-edited them using all of the information from the Codex and paraphrasing it. I understand this is very much an art form and not an exact science, but those examples should make clear that you do not have to leave information out to avoid the direct copy, only rearrange how the same information is presented. Montonius 07:01, November 2, 2011 (UTC)

White Scars
Oh, Zach, can you change the chest Aquila on the White Scars Post-Heresy Chapter Colours on the White Scars page from Golden to Red? That's the official current colour scheme. Thanks. Montonius 06:23, November 3, 2011 (UTC)

i have one question concerning an image of Fulgrim. in the pic he is standing in a chamber with what appear to be multiple traitor marines and at least one daemon. i am trying to find the complete painting and not just a section of the image. any chance you would have it? Jon Ferrell 15:20, November 7, 2011 (UTC)

Email
Zach I sent you an important email. Please check it out at your convenience. Montonius 11:40, November 9, 2011 (UTC)

Metamarines
Zach, check the Metamarines page. An unregistered user removed "unsourced" material. It may very well have been unsourced but I don't know where the information came from in the first place. It the information that was removed had a sources, please tell me what it is and the page numbers for it and I will restore the removed data and add the source. Thanks. Montonius 11:51, November 9, 2011 (UTC)

Sabbat Worlds Crusade
Hey Zach, I need you to finish the Sabbat Worlds Crusade page before you move on to another project (of which I have a long list, LOL). Finish the Thunder Warriors page, of course, but then complete the Crusade before initiating another new project. Thanks. Montonius 08:03, November 10, 2011 (UTC)

Awesome Sauce
Take a look. We are HATED! Montonius 10:49, November 10, 2011 (UTC)

You might want to have a look at that.

Thunder Warriors
Yeah check over that page. Your meaning was often not clear. I have rewritten it to make the meaning clearer but if the book provides an ultimate fate for Tarik, please indicate what it is. Also, be very careful with speculation. There was way too much of it in that article and I brought it down to something more appropriate. Montonius 16:23, November 10, 2011 (UTC)

Space Wolves Info being Wrong
I happened to go over the Space Wolves page, and noticed a discrepency with the Battle of Gangava. It states that during the campaign that they sent 11 of their 12 Great Companies to the planet, when they had actually spread their companies over many planets that had been under their protection, as they were being attacked at the same time. The only company to actually be found on the planet was the company that Ragnar Blackmane had been apart of, culminating into the fateful battle he had with Madox.

```` Bael, Chapter Master of the Astral Grizzleis

Unification Wars
I updated the Unification Wars page with the new information about the Thunder Warriors. But the page really needs the page numbers for the sources you used, as I get a lot of questions about that page, and for good reason. If you could go back to your original research and add the page numbers that would really be fantastic. Montonius 15:57, November 11, 2011 (UTC)

Sabbat Worlds
So are you done with te Sababt Worlds Crusade page? Did the Crusade just end with the return of the Saint Sabbat and Abnett hasn't written the full end of it yet (which is what I suspect), or did you just not finish it yet? Montonius 08:10, November 13, 2011 (UTC)

Blood Angels
I'm redoing some of the Chapter Colour Schemes for the Blood Angels Successors Chapters. Thanks for the Blood Drinkers and Angels Encarmine help. I'll probably needit again with the next couple, keep your eyes peeled for anything Blood Angels related with pics, LOL. Montonius 08:16, November 13, 2011 (UTC)

Sabbat Worlds Completion
I hear ya brother. That's why the page was blank! I hate the Imperial Guard. LOL.Montonius 08:18, November 13, 2011 (UTC)

P.S. I haven't edited the page really yet, but from the little I've done, it is truly your best work yet. I'm gonna give you a lot more research projects now that you got this beast out of the way. LOL. Montonius 08:19, November 13, 2011 (UTC)

So is the page done and ready for editing or is there any more you need to add? I can't get between an artist and his work! Montonius 07:07, November 15, 2011 (UTC)

Fantastic. Add whatever supplementary pages you think are necessary, including ones for the important planets. I have created a new category for all things Sabbat Worlds Crusade. Also, comb through the Sabbat Worlds background book and add whatever you think are the best pictures to a gallery on the Sabbat Worlds Crusade main page, if you think there are some nice ones you'd like to add. Great job! Montonius 07:25, November 15, 2011 (UTC)

Zach, on the Vichres page, you need to indicate the year of his death and on which world in Operation New Found he died. You can also add this information to the Sabbat Worlds Crusade page in the appropriate place. Thanks. Montonius 09:44, November 15, 2011 (UTC)

Hello Zach. I'm the author of one of pictures you have posted here. I'm talking about this image (http://warhammer40k.wikia.com/wiki/File:Black_Legionnaire_in_Combat.jpg). Quality of this picture is very bad, so may be you can change it with better image from my site - here it is - (http://burmak.ru/gallery/i-chaosspacemarine.jpg) and also it will be great if you will mention me as an author in file description.

Thanks. and sorry for my lame inglish.

Dmitry Burmak.

Jericho Reach
First, Zach, thanks for taking on that page and bringing it up to our standards. However, please don't get pulled away from your main projects by these side issues that a user puts up. We don't need the RPG stuff right now, that can come later. We still have plenty of much more basic core materials about the universe to finish up. When a user puts up a crappy sub-par page on a topic that we do need, it is better for me to delete it until we turn to that topic ourselves, unless the page is so close to our standards that it needs only minor formatting edits. In this case, that was not true, and now we both have to spend time bringing it up to speed. It is better for us to concentrate on one entire area of the wiki and complete all the related pages tied to it before moving on to another entire topic. Thanks. Montonius 07:27, November 17, 2011 (UTC)

Next Steps
Hey Zach,

Nice work on Jericho Reach. Between the two of us I think we built a damn fine page. I wanted to give you a heads-up on the next set of projects I need you to look at when you are ready to move on.

1) We need a page for every one of the red-linked commanders you put into the main Sabbat Worlds Crusade page. If you don't want to create a separate page for some of these guys, please remove the red-link on the ones you don't think deserve their own page.

2) Technically we also need a page for each of the major campaign worlds in the Crusade, but if you are tired of that topic (I know I am), feel free to leave them be for now.

3) We need a separate page for the Warhound, Warlord and Imperator-class Titans. You already finished the Reaver-class Titan page but we need to complete the set!

That should keep you busy for the next week or so. As always, fantastic work. Montonius 21:48, November 17, 2011 (UTC)

Finally, what we need after you complete all that is a page on the Fall of Prospero. Check out the Lexicanum's page on the Battle of Prospero to get a sense of the scope and the sources you'll have to plumb. Choose the artwork you like and add the level of depth and detail that we have become known for. But as you can see, we could make it a really cool page, and after the Sabbat Worlds I think its time for some Space Marine on Space Marine action again. Montonius 11:18, November 18, 2011 (UTC)

OOPs, one more thing. I need you to put the page numbers on the Sources for the Unification Wars page. OK, that's it for the next few weeks, thanks! Montonius 13:47, November 18, 2011 (UTC)

Hey Zach, I really need you to put the page numbers in the Sources section of the Unification Wars, not lines below each entry indicating which book they came from. That's not necessary and the page numbers are what people want. If you can't find them, it's OK but if you can do it it'd be great because nobody else has a page like that on the Internet and having the page numbers for it would add to its legitimacy and value. Thanks. Montonius 14:45, December 2, 2011 (UTC)

Fall of Prospero
Wonderful work! You have truly mastered the art of researching an extremely difficult subject with the attention to detail required that makes us the best Warhammer 40k wiki out there. When you have finished up the rmeainign tasks I outlined above, I will have more need of such skill for several new projects. Again, simply outstanding work and an immense contribution to this wiki's success. Montonius 14:26, December 7, 2011 (UTC)

im just here to say hi to! but ill just ask u u like dogs soo much?? just asking! :)

Use of Art
Hi Algrim,

I'm the artist who created the leman russ painting you have edited and renamed as "Primarch Leman Russ-Great Crusade.jpg". Could you please either replace it with the original version (the one with my site visible), add a credit line or remove it from this site. I know you did it for flavour and I respect that but I put in the hours and I'm not rolling in so much money that I can do without the promotion (kinda why I put it there).

Thanks

- Chen

Pictures
Zach, as I earlier requested, please do not overwrite existing pieces of art with new art. Please upload each piece of new art as a separate file, even if you intend to replace something on a page with it, so it gets added to our database of pictures. Thanks. Montonius 07:38, January 2, 2012 (UTC)

Zach, again, please do not overwrite pictures as you just did on the Lorgar page. It is simply not helpful. Upload it separately. Montonius 23:55, January 6, 2012 (UTC)

Robots
Wonderful work on the Robots and Legio Cybernetica pages. I think the Robots page in particular represents some of your best work to date, Zach.

Some projects which merit your consideration next:

1) Warlord-class Titan

2) Imperator-class Titan

3) The remaining red-linked Chaos commanders for the Sabbat Worlds Crusade

4) The new Space Marine Battles books, The Gildar Rift and the Legion of the Damned (which means adding to the Notable Campaigns sections of the Silver Skulls, Excoriators, Red Corsairs and Legion of the Damned Space Marines pages).

Thanks and have fun! Montonius 05:43, January 6, 2012 (UTC)

HRU
All yours. Montonius 21:47, January 13, 2012 (UTC)

Grey Knights Numbers
Hey Zach, do you know the source for the assertion on the Grey Knights Infobox that there are 3000 Astartes in the Chapter? If not I will reduce it to 1000 which is the only number I can confirm. Thanks. Montonius 05:04, January 15, 2012 (UTC)

Picture Overwrites
Zach, again, please do not overwrite pictures as you just did on the Dreadnought page, and as I have requested repeatedly that you not do. It is simply not helpful. Upload it separately. I will keep repeating it as many times as you ignore it. Thanks :) Montonius 10:10, January 20, 2012 (UTC)

Craftworld Tias-Meyreal
Zach, do you know if Craftworld Tias-Meyreal is real or just fan-fic? I can find no references to it.Montonius 08:24, January 21, 2012 (UTC)

Kudos
I just wanted you to know that in the last 5 days you have personally added 36 new pages to this wiki. I believe that is a new personal record for you. That represents an extraordinary committment and dedication above and beyond the call of duty which I just wanted to recognise. Your committment to the wiki has been exemplary and, I thought you should know that we now average over 60,000 separate people viewing the wiki every day from across the globe. This growth has been in no small measure the result of your hard work. Keep it up! Montonius 10:22, January 21, 2012 (UTC)

Space Marine Side Project
Hey Zach great job on the Word Bearers. I have a side project that we will be undertaking when we have downtime. I want to replace all the Space Marine Chapter colour schemes that we created with the official ones from How to Paint Space Marines like we did with the White and Black Consuls. We'll just go through all the Chapters and replace the custom made-pictures with the official versions where they exist. I, and you if you would like to help when you have time, will move the custom Chapter schemes we created that are on each page into a Gallery and rename them a Tactical Marine (of that Chapter). I can't remove the Chapter badges that are at the bottom of the picture so if you could do that like you did with the Consuls as I put new ones up, that would be great. I have already done the Deathwatch (its in the gallery, just fix it please and I'll reposition it and move the existing one down) and the Legion of the Damned. If you could get rid of the Chapter badges on those pictures like you did with the Consuls so that its just a Space Marine with both feet showing (Hah!) that would be great. Thanks a heap. Montonius 05:26, January 27, 2012 (UTC)

Fantastic work on the Space Marines. There is a list of Chapters on my talk page with the remaining Chapters we need to add to the wiki. When you are done with the current side project, if you want to add the remaining Chapters while you're at it, we might as well complete this whole damn thing finally! Montonius 07:00, January 30, 2012 (UTC)

Chapters Open
The Chapters you requested are open. Montonius 04:07, January 31, 2012 (UTC)

Crimson Shades
Hey Zach. Wow, I mean, just WOW. When I said finish the Space Marines you took me at my word. Awesome. ;)

Can you add the missing information to the Crimson Shades article? It says their Librarians differ from the traditional role, but it does not say how. Montonius 08:12, February 1, 2012 (UTC)

LOL, oh you'll get yours! Know No Fear released today, so after doing the Scouring of Prospero, the Battle of Calth is up next! Montonius 08:33, February 1, 2012 (UTC)

Space Wolves Order of battle
Hey, I upgraded your Space Wolves with their full order of battle. If you could add a few more pictures of Space Wolves vehicles from Imperial Aemour 11 (if there are any others) to to finish it off, that would be great. Oh, on a side note, our Tyrannic War veterans page needs a Wargear section, if you could find it in the Deathwatch books. Thanks. Montonius (talk) 06:44, January 10, 2013 (UTC)

XV8 Crisis Battlesuits
I thought just to restate my request since the old topics vanished after the talk page format change.

Could you please help get the information from this: And also look through the older White Dwarfs to see if there is any other information on XV8 Crisis battlesuits. Specific things like combat tactics, historical events, weapon configurations, etc. would be useful. Thanks.
 * White Dwarf 263 (US), "Crisis! Tau Battlesuit Teams: A Look at the Strategies of the Tau Batlesuits"

Btw, I have a copy of the Horus Heresy book "The Primarchs", so if you want any help adding information from that, I'll be happy to do so.

Shas&#39;o&#39;Kais (talk) 00:58, January 11, 2013 (UTC)

Collected Visions
I couldn't help but notice that on the recent pages you made for the different types of Legion era squads that you didn't use the Horus Heresy Collected Visions book as a source, I was looking for any Jetbike pictures I missed and noticed there were many pictures of Legion Assault Marines and other units that on the pages you made for them were not included. Because I had nothing else to do at the time I got the pge numbers for the Legion Assault Marines for you:

The Horus Heresy: Collected Visions (Background Book), pp. 32, 58, 70, 73, 76, 124-125, 128, 142, 174-175, 180, 187, 194, 228, 233, 243, 255, 260, 271, 284, 306-307, 309

Vforvendetta1 (talk) 13:25, January 10, 2013 (UTC)

LOL. I think he was offering you more pictures, you lazy thing! LOL Montonius (talk) 06:27, January 11, 2013 (UTC)

Necrons
Wasn't allowed to edit the page, but just a heads up. It's in the 'Rise of the Necrons' section.

"Only a few of the most strong-willed Necrontyr retained their intellect and self-awareness and even they were but shadows of their former selves. purged of so much of what had made them unique individuals." Sqarkplugz (talk)

Necrons
Zach, I need to do the first run through on the Necrons toconvert them up to standard; let me do the history portion first, then you can do the follow-on for the units. But its not a priority at the moment. Montonius (talk) 04:16, January 13, 2013 (UTC)

Replacements
Sorry to hear it. I can probably replace your entire collection of supplements and novels, if necessary, though not of White Dwarves. I would suggest getting an external hard drive to serve as a backup for the collection in future. Digitial data is a lot more fragile than hard copies. Montonius (talk) 04:22, January 13, 2013 (UTC)

Yeah, man, that really sucks. I've had that happen before. What I'm going to do, then, is spend your time out of action catching up on my big backlog of pages that need to be edited. You stay with us, if possible, to do standard administrative tasks every day like normal, but otherwise you spend your time rebuilding your stuff. We'll use this downtime to bring the existing pages up to speed, and when you're ready to go again, we'll pick up where you left off. It's a shame, the new blog system was adding some really needed articles to the wiki, and we always have more Horus Heresy stuff coming up. But I'm sure it will work out; like I said, I can replace probably almost everything you can't find, so don't hesitate to ask. We'll work out a method for the transfer, if needed. Montonius (talk) 04:36, January 13, 2013 (UTC)

Emperor's Champion
Zach,  do you know if those two pictures on the Emperor's Champion page canon or just some artist's? They look like fan art to me but I'm not sure. If they are fan art they will be removed. Montonius (talk) 23:51, January 14, 2013 (UTC)

Algrimm, as you are in charge of "handling" me as I am a safety issue, I wanted to extend an olive branch. I have very important information for you not directly related to this wiki. I am absolutely not bluffing, and I am absolutely POSITIVE you do not want me to post the information here. No threat. No drama. No jokes. I would like you to email me at dissonantcry@hotmail.com so I can share. You can use a dummy email address if you'd like so long as you get the information and read what I have to say privately. You are more than welcome to share the email with my buddy Monty, or anyone else, if you so choose. Please shoot me that email man.

Dissonantcry (talk) 10:01, January 15, 2013 (UTC)

On every page but the talk page, there is a bar that I know you are familliar with. It's always at the top, to the right of the wiki logo. It says On the wiki, Top Content,  ect. After you select one of those, there is a blue section under said selection, wiki activity, random page and what not. On two different browsers (but the same computer) I see ghost images in dark grey writing, that is hard to see on the blue back ground. The writing moves depending on what I select, and I have figured out it says random blog post. The grey writing does not function as a link. There is about a 95% chance that this is an issue on my computer, but there is that other 5% that it might be a bug on the page. Wanted you to see if you could see it. Dissonantcry (talk) 17:06, January 15, 2013 (UTC)

Sorry to bug you again, noticed something else. It has squats listed as under Xenos, but it is says on their page that they are abhumans. I could very well be mistaken, and I will take a look a bit later, but I think squats were initially Xenos. I think that current canon, from the 6th RB lists them as adhumans like the page indicates. I guess my main question is about organization. Do you really want adhumans listed under Xenos? If so, okay, but shouldn't you list the other abhumans? Ratlings, Ogryn, Navigators... ECT. as Xenos as well on that link page? You could argue I guess that the Tau are not broken up by their perspective races, but with current fluff squats are Imperial.

There is no logical way to list all the Xenos there, but I am also intriuged that you forgot the Jokaero on the list of Xenos, as I feel they aren't Imperial, but kind of have a semi big effect. These are just opinions for you and Mr. Monty to consider. Dissonantcry (talk) 18:46, January 15, 2013 (UTC)

Error in picture
There is an error with the caption of a picture in land speeder page. The caption reads " Ravenwing Deathshroud", but it should be "Darkshroud". Somehow I cannot edit the picture without it disappearing. Cch123 (talk) 11:13, January 17, 2013 (UTC)

Battle of Terra
hi, wonder if you can help me, i'm looking for a Warhammer 40K novel that contains the story of the Battle for Terra. Alot of the novels i've read refers to the battle and the eventual death of Horus, but none of the ones i could find so far tells the actual story....any advice?

JoSolo (talk) 08:16, January 21, 2013 (UTC)

Dark Angels Weapons
Hi Zach, sorry I haven't sopken to you in a bit. Nice job on filling out the new Dark Angels Codex. Just seems to go on forever doesn't it? Can you add all the new red-linked vehicle weapons as well with their own pages? I want to get on top of all those stupid new weapons they are adding. I don't care if the pages are short, we just need the info added. I have a list of several of them on my blog if you need to see a list, though I do not believe I got all of them. Also, please see the edits I made to the Dark Angels vehicle pages. We use a very specific system for vehicles developed by VforVendetta, which you should also use when creating vehicle pages in the future. I have made the relevant changes. Anyway, thanks for the additions. We'll get this codex finished eventually! Montonius (talk) 06:11, January 26, 2013 (UTC)

Thank you for your support. LOL. Want to take a chainsword to my neck for some of my decisions, eh? You're such a Space Wolf! Montonius (talk) 07:09, January 27, 2013 (UTC)

Another problem: please check out Elric Grey's Talk page, the guy you had a run-in with a bit before. he has technically now crossed a line that would give hima  1-month ban, but I took no action because I really just don't give a damn about his exaggerated sense of self-worth. However, I felt you should review it and either comment on it or sanction him, depending on your own judgement. What do you think? Montonius (talk) 22:39, January 27, 2013 (UTC)

LOL. He told you to go jump in the lake. I'd slap him down for that, but it's up to you. This guy's ego is way bigger than his brain. Montonius (talk) 03:06, January 29, 2013 (UTC)

Thanks
Hey, I just wanted to say thanks for your help. It worked out really well with Shas, and I think that's because of your help; you've really been an invaluable aid since you became an Admin, and I just wanted to express my appreciation for the great job you're doing at every level. Thanks again; I couldn't run this place without you. Now let's get back to content creation, whoo hoo! Montonius (talk) 00:46, January 28, 2013 (UTC)

Planet List
Whew! Nice clean up of the Planet List! Now can you do the same (removing all the old footnote data and the Main Article: xxxx links and replacing them with the in-text links to the Space Marine Chapters so that each entry begins with the link in the paragraph text) from the Space Marine Chapter list, Mr. Clean? LOL Montonius (talk) 05:40, January 31, 2013 (UTC)

Oh, Shas'o came up with the idea for creating a template to indicate those pages like the necrons that will undergo a major revision in the future. Here's the code he used, but I thought when you get a chance you could just adapt your Inquisition label which you use for pages under construction with this text:

"Please note: This page is slated for a major upgrade in the future. Information at present may not be up to date or may be of low quality. "

Here is Shas'o's code, if you find it helpful:

{subst:iumb


 * bg = #EEE8AA


 * image = Whatever Picture


 * caption = Outdated Content


 * message = Parts of this article have been identified as no longer being up to date.


 * comment = Please update the article to reflect recent events, and remove this template when finished.

}

Please leave any complete sign code on my talk page and I will apply it to all the necessary pages. Thanks again, Mr. Maintenance!

Montonius (talk) 08:02, January 31, 2013 (UTC)

Nightbringer Pic
Zach, can you tell me the origin or source for the Nightbringer picture you added? I don't want to remove it if it is a canon source from the Deathwatch books or something; the FFG art looks a little different from the GW stuff so sometimes its hard to tell. Montonius (talk) 04:28, February 5, 2013 (UTC)

Storm Trooper Wargear
Hey Zach, can you add a Wargear section to the Storm troopers page from the IG 5th Ed. Codex or even from Only War, if possible? Montonius (talk) 07:12, February 8, 2013 (UTC)

Mordians
Very nice page with the Mordian Iron Guard! Best IG regiment page yet. Montonius (talk) 03:51, February 11, 2013 (UTC)

Zach, can you find a bigger version of the picture of the Incubus on the Incubus page drawn from the Path of the Incubus book? I can't find a large, clear one without writing. Montonius (talk) 05:27, February 11, 2013 (UTC)

Valhallan Wargear
Zach, can you add a wargear section to the Valhallan Ice Warriors page? Thanks. Montonius (talk) 00:22, February 12, 2013 (UTC)

Ork Hunters
Hey Zach, you need texplain exactly what the Battle of Hell Town was in the history section of this page. Montonius (talk) 11:37, February 12, 2013 (UTC)

No more for today (Feb. 13), please. Thanks. Montonius (talk) 16:28, February 13, 2013 (UTC)

Spinward Front Map
Zach, can you do me a favour and take the Spinward Front Map from the Ony War Core Book and make it a one page map that you upload here so I can use it on the Spinward Front page I'm building? If it's possible,  make it as large as possible while still fitting on one page. I have need of your graphic manipulation skillz! Thanks! Montonius (talk) 17:41, February 14, 2013 (UTC)

Wow! Freaking awesome! Thanks so much! I'm making copies for myself, LOL. You did a better job than FFG! They ain't got them on their site yet! You should offer yours! LOL. Montonius (talk) 18:37, February 14, 2013 (UTC)

Imperial Army
Hey Zach, can you add all of the known Imperial Army regiments to the page, if you're not already in the process of doing so, ;) Montonius (talk) 02:31, February 15, 2013 (UTC)

Imperial Guard List
Dude, you're a freaking nut! That's a hell of a page! Good job! Please look at my corrections so that the same errors don't get repeated over and over again since you are using a formula for the entries for certain linked regiments. Montonius (talk) 05:43, February 17, 2013 (UTC)

Non-Canon Pictures
Zach, please do not allow editors like Army of Dead to add non-canon pictures. We are no longer using them in 99% of cases. I have removed all of his additions. Thanks. Montonius (talk) 04:52, February 22, 2013 (UTC)

RPG Material
hey Zach great job on the Imperial Guard. keep it up. Just wanted to let you know I will be working this weekend to add the long-missing Koronus Expanse to our pages. I will also be adding Jericho Reach material and ultimately adding as much RPG material as possible over the coming months. I like the RPG material better than the GW stuff and find that a lot of it is better written than GW's Codexes and White Dwarf articles. After you finish the IG if you could keep it a little light on Friday and Saturday I'd appreciate it as preparing the Koronus Expanse and the JR material for upload will be time-consuming. Thanks and I love the IG additions. I had no idea we were missing so much great material. Montonius (talk) 06:08, February 22, 2013 (UTC)

Siege of Vraks
Ugh, Zach, are you crazy enough to do the entire Siege of Vraks? If so, I would suggest that you finish all the Imperial Guard regiments before changing topics. I would also have your head examined. You're crazy, man! Montonius (talk) 23:13, February 24, 2013 (UTC)

Hey Zach, please don't add pictures to the Siege of vraks page that were not part of the original books. Thanks. Montonius (talk) 05:16, March 1, 2013 (UTC)

Thanks!
Though it's a waste of space I don't like being rude, just wanted ot thank you for giving me the info :) Much appreciated!

Interrogator-Chaplains page:

Sub-section: Role (last paragraph)

The legendary Master Molochia, who served for more than 300 standard years, managed to gain a dozen black pearls,

Sub- section: Black Pearl

2nd sentence: Master Molocia died after over 400 standard years of service with only TEN black pearls.

So which is which? A dozen, which is 12, or 10?

Hey, I was looking through the Space Marine page and noticed two spelling typos in the section 'Second and Later Foundings'. In the first sentence, "Space Marine" is spelled "Soace Marune". I was going to change ite but the article was locked, if you get the time its a small thing to fix.
