Hail the mods!
Hey Algrim,

thank you for adjusting those 300px pictures. Since I'm following many articles you edited my inbox hates you right now, but I will silence that heretic. Now I know what you mods must feel like, having to check ALL those edits day by day. Keep up the great work!

Construction Template
Hi Algrim,

I think it's a great template. But don't expect that anyone is going to use it any more than the already existing ones  (I love the Mekboy one, by the way!). So you can add it to the wiki templates, but the only people who really use construction templates, rightly or wrongly, are the admins, mods, and usual contributors. Also, in a related note, the construction templates are being left on some pages for way too long. They really need to come down as soon as the article is readable. I've found some that were left on pages for months, and that's no good. A page really needs to be constructed in about 2 weeks max. If it's gonna take longer because it's very long or complicated, that's fine, but people aren't finishing some projects. Next time I see it happen, I'm going to encourage the creator to finish the page ASAP and if you could reiterate that new pages need to be completed in a reasonable frame of time to the rest of the staff when you see things lagging, that'd be great to. Not everyone can finish a 10,000 word article in an hour like you, LOL, but 2 weeks should be long enough, I think.

40k app and congrats for 4k pages
Hi again Algrim! First, my most sincere congratulations on your 4000 pages. I have been visiting this wiki since 2011 and your great work is having great results.

I've taken a look at the Wikia (now Fandom xd) smartphone app, which as you know we share for 40k. Switching languages you can see your wiki or ours. Thing is, I've seen you only have two main sections - Factions and Overview - and, most important, you haven't turned the app's Discussions. Since you surely have a lot of visits, it'd be a shame not to profit as much as possible from the English app that links to this wiki. If you want, I could lend you a hand with that. Looking forward to your answer!

Chapter Master Lord Eledan 15:12, November 28, 2016 (UTC)

How are you?
Hello Algrim. I just want to say that I am sorry for your loss. No one can be prepared for this kind of tragedy. I just hope that you will find the strength to overcome this pain and carry on with your life. Again, please accept my condolences.

Zixes (talk) 10:52, December 5, 2016 (UTC)

Very Sorry
Hi Zach,

I'm deeply sorry to hear about such a tragic loss. I can't imagine what your family is going through. We'll hold the fort down here for as long as you need. Keep your chin up and know you're in my prayers.

P.S. I have told Lord Eldan we'll take any help he can give us. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.

Montonius (talk) 00:55, December 7, 2016 (UTC)

Mobile App
Hi Zach,

I spoke with Eledan about getting our mobile app up to speed and it's a real pain in the ass for us to do it ourselves. I really don't have time for a pseudo-programming task this week, so he suggested I grant him temporary Admin rights so he can do it himself. I am inclined to do so just for the time required to make the changes as I think it would be easiest, but I felt I should just run it by you before agreeing to do so. He has always proved to be an up-and-up guy when dealing with us in the past, and the rights will be returned as soon as he tells me its done, so I think it's OK. Do you concur?

P.S. Hope your holding up OK.

Ask about adding a New photo on Warhammer 40k Wiki:Banning Policy
Good evening, Lord Algrim. I'm Adept Tlaqh1335. I request permission to you.

I have just uploaded the photo Heresyveinpopping1.png. Take a look at this:

As you see, my photo is much more bigger and clearer than older photo on Banning Policy page, so I suggest the replacement of the old jpg to the new png. Then all jpg files which used for warning/banning will be replaced to png. Would you agree on this? Tlaqh1335 (talk) 13:19, 10, December, 2016 (UTC)

Mobile app
I'll get to work on this wiki's app right away. There are many possible combinations for the distribution of pages and categories on the app, so I'd like to hear your preferences. It'd be very useful to have a means of communication that is faster than the discussion walls.

While I'm getting the first proposal ready, I'd like to suggest you and Montonius to join our English Slack group to speed up the later process of customization. Slack is a free messaging website for business work groups - it's private, easy to use and doesn't require any installation. It can be accessed from your PC or your smartphone. Grey Knight Dante and MrParaduo from Warhammer Fantasy Wiki are already there, and soon GZilla311 will too. We usually chat with them over there.

Maybe even after getting the app up and running, you might find it useful to stay on that Slack channel in order to exchange private messages between yourselves instead of debating wiki matters in a public space xD

If you want to be invited, please send an email to wikihammer40k@yahoo.es and I'll have it done. I'll let you know any news asap!

Greetings Algrim, remember me ?
Hey Algrim , It's Kaedmon , I dunno if you remember me but I have a proposition for you.Do you mind if I contact you through gmail ? -Kaedmon (talk) 18:21, December 11, 2016 (UTC)

Some guy is using articles you made and reading them word for word in YouTube videos and not giving you or the wiki credit. Made a discussion topic in the forums. Just thought you would want to know, especially since he is monetizing the content and making money from those articles.

Click here for a word for word copy of the article on the Black Dragons chapter that you created.

Here are sample pages from the smartphone app that Eledan showed me. They look good and so I'm gonna approve the launch.



To see all changes, please download the app ^^

World Eater article
Hey Algrim, could you open the World Eaters article? It is still inaccessible. Also, you can close all other Traitor Legions articles if you want to.

Moderation of Discussions
Hi Algrim, Montonius told me that you would moderate the new section of Discussions, which will work for both the PC version and the mobile app. The most important link is this, it is the one that gives access to the Discussion and its management. As you can see, I have decorated this space a bit with some images.

For your ease, I placed the link well accessible in the navigation bar, within the "Community" section.

To delve into their possibilities or to resolve doubts, you can consult these three links: P.D: The discussions feature does not appear yet in the mobile app, even though it's turned on. I think it will take a few hours for the server to refresh, or a few days until Wikia updates the application. Because of this reason, "discussions" may be delayed in having good activity. But they will have it, it is impossible to have it in Spanish language and not in English xD

arvida
you got access to the short story "allegiance", as it contains info on arvida whilst on board of the swordstorm?Neithan02 (talk) 22:20, December 26, 2016 (UTC)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CXpDrOIQQw4&t=64s   should be the 2nd or 3rd story.

Basiccally he is with the white scars, who have picked him up, on the swordstorm he has some talks with tagutai yessugai (or whatever their chief librarian is called), who wants to turn him into a white scar, so that he can loyally fight for emps with his regained psychic powers. He picks up Ahriman's tarot deck (aka very ancient cards, I'd have to look up thw age in a thousand sons again) and decides to stick to his legion and cult symbols, aka he is of the raven cult and knowledge is power, tronger hint to the BL chapter...

Neithan02 (talk) 23:48, December 26, 2016 (UTC)

Suggested reading
Hello Algrim,

I would strongly recommend you to get your hands on copy of Weregeld, a new novella by Gav Thorpe which offers some interesting insights into the Space Wolves’ actions during the Heresy. Although the main plotline resolves around the Raven Guard (whose informations I will start to implement on the wiki) a number of articles - especially Leman Russ and Bjorn - will need to be updated. As far as I know, the novella is an all-new exclusive for the Corax-anthology but surely there must be a way to get it to you. On another matter, due to my absence from the wiki, I would greatly appreciate a little update on common grounds (superscripting/image sizes) which were unresolved at the time I had to leave but which hopefully you and the other admins have figured out in the meantime.

Enjoy and keep up the good work

Blog of "How-to"
Hey Algrim, i can't seem to find one of your ancient blogs describing on how to create a fanon chapter , do you have a copy of it ? Because it would be really helpful. Kaedmon (talk) 18:56, December 30, 2016 (UTC)

Thank you ! For now the project is still on standby, so the brainstorming hasnt come yet. Could you come by the forums and try to talk with the chapter master himself ? Because otherwise it will be kind of complicated, and I might not be able to contact you in a long time. But that's up to you to decide, in any case thanks you for your help for this project of ours. Sincerely Kaedmon (talk) 21:24, December 30, 2016 (UTC)

Roboute Guilliman
Hey Algrim, the Roboute Guilliman page needs to be updated with all the Secundus Imperium stuff, and I think it may need to be added to the Ultrmaarines page as well. I know you're busy, but if you could make this a prioroty when you return those pages really need the update as only you can do it! Thanks!Montonius (talk) 02:32, January 2, 2017 (UTC)

Rainbow Warriors
Hail Algrim,

I stumbled upon the Rainbow Warriors Article and found something to edit, but the Emperor protects it right now. I would like to do some standardisations and corrections, could you include the case in your prayers to Him and ask Him to let me edit that page? The Emperor be with you. --Vo0DoO40k (talk) 09:41, January 6, 2017 (UTC)

Wrath of Magnus
Thanks for the additions to the recent Thousand Sons pages, especially the images! I didn't have access to a few resources so it's much appreciated for fulfilling pages' needs.

DivusMechanicus (talk) 00:35, January 7, 2017 (UTC)

Daggerfangs
Hey Algrim, can you add a quick History section to the Daggerfangs warband page? Thanks. Montonius (talk) 05:07, January 7, 2017 (UTC)

Also, check out the Talk page of the World Eaters, VooDoo left a note about repetitive text; I didn't check it since you were the author, maybe just see if there's a problem. If not, just remove his note from the Talk page. Montonius (talk) 06:30, January 7, 2017 (UTC)

Rainbow Warriors done
Hey Algrim,

thank your for your prayers, I edited the page. I hope you will agree with my changes. The Emperor may protect the page again.

Vo0DoO40k (talk) 16:01, January 7, 2017 (UTC)

Scythes Update
Also, forgot to ask you. In the story, the Second Founding has already happened and the Third Founding did not happen yet. Should I write down the Chapter as a Third Founding Chapter?

I will also add a canon conflict section.

And where is it written that this chapter was created in the 37th millennium?

Zixes (talk) 21:30, January 16, 2017 (UTC)

Need your help
Hello Algrim, i need your help with something. I talked about it in your talk page on the fanon wiki. Thanks in advance ! Kaedmon (talk) 17:19, January 18, 2017 (UTC)

Promotion
Hey Algrim. I just wanted to know the answer regarding my promotion to the rank of administrator, as I've asked you about it a few months ago. You said that Montonius did not give an answer yet. But it is ok if he does not think that I am ready to take that position, I will totally understand that. I just want to know the answer.

Zixes (talk) 13:17, January 22, 2017 (UTC)

The 13th Black Crusade page
Hey Algrim, could you open the 13th Black Crusade page? I know that it is one of your most holiest of articles. But if you could let me edit it, then that would be awesome.

Zixes (talk) 17:06, January 24, 2017 (UTC)

News for you
Hey Algrim, i've left you some messages on both the fanon wiki and the Mad nomads forum , i hope you read these and would like to know your answer.Thank you

Sincerely , Kaedmon (talk) 00:56, January 25, 2017 (UTC)

Btw, czar is waiting to make your artwork , oh and Algrim , you  need to be active on the forums so that your application isn't rejected which leads to not becoming a member of the Mad Nomads , I hope you understand.

I don't want to you to be kicked because of low activity, in fact i want you to stay with us because you are great man ! :D So, i'll be waiting for your answer.

Sincerely, Kaedmon (talk) 02:43, January 26, 2017 (UTC)

The 13th Black Crusade page
Hi Algrim. I've just made a minor edit. I am still willing to add new data to the article. Could you open the page again?

Zixes (talk) 09:11, January 26, 2017 (UTC)

Although, thank you for your inspiring and kind letter regarding my potential promotion! I will do my best to live up to what the wiki's adminis expect of me!

Zixes (talk) 09:38, January 26, 2017 (UTC)

Hi Algrim! I am finally done with the 13th Black Crusade article! There is a need for read-proof of course, and some additional data on the front paragraphs of the article. Like: "The Crusade has ended with the death of Cadia" and so on...

Also, it will be very useful if we will add the same data that you've added to the Blood Angels page, as it is part of the Black Crusade. But that is just my suggetion.

Zixes (talk) 21:24, January 28, 2017 (UTC)

A BIG BIG SURPRISE!
You should take a look at that. This will be the third cover for the third part of the Storm Gathering.

Space Wolves
Hey Algrim,

There is a blank Chapter Combat Doctrine heading on the Space Wolves page and two unexplained entries under the Specialist Officers Section. Could you please either remove these or complete these at your next editing session? We can't have holes like that on such an important page, and I know you would never want such a fate for the Sons of Russ! For the Allfather! ;) Montonius (talk) 01:34, February 9, 2017 (UTC)

Chaos Space Marine Infobox
Hi Algrim, what's up? I just had a thought. Is there any way to make a slight change to the traitor legion infobox? Can we change the Chapter Master section into the Chaos Lord section? And the successor chapters into  successor warbands? It will just sound way better than that infobox that was made for the Space Marine Chapters.

Let me know what you think.

Zixes (talk) 10:47, February 11, 2017 (UTC)

Yeah, actually, no we're not unless one of you makes the change on every single Chaos warband on the wiki immediately after the change is done. If you don't want to carry out that task to the fullest extent, I don't want the change made. We have a lot of other things that need to be done that are far more important than this. This wiki needs to start prioritising major changes again, especially with the influx of new material coming in for the Gathering Storm, which takes precedence over anything else.

However, if one of you does decide to go all-out for this, please change the size of all the Chaos Space Marine warband pictures to 250px, as most are currently still set at 300px and I have been reducing them as I encounter them. Montonius (talk) 00:48, February 14, 2017 (UTC)

Space Wolves 2
Algrim,

Before you add any new material, can you finish the remaining blank entry left on the Space Wolves page? No page that important should have an uncompleted section. Thanks. Montonius (talk) 01:19, February 16, 2017 (UTC)

Hi Algrim, what's up? I saw the warp gate page and realised that I have already added that data to the warp article, so you can delete that page if you want to.

Zixes (talk) 08:10, February 17, 2017 (UTC)

Apologies
I understand thine worries and responsibilities over this wiki, so please accept my apologies, for I have disobeyed the simplest of rules of thy thus far. But I can assure you that my such actions will be no more. Have a pleasant day.

Notable Campaign Sections
Hi Algrim,

Thanks for the upgrades on the Chaos Space Marine pages.

Just a reminder that in our formating system, Notable Campaigns sections are always a subcategory of the larger History section on pages where it exists. Thanks. Montonius (talk) 02:25, February 19, 2017 (UTC)

The writing can begin
Hello Algrim, these last few days i've been working on the fanon chapter.Most of the ideas have been dealt with , so I figured out we could begin writing about the chapter and give it some kind of structure.

A lots of artwork have also come up, so we can put them in too. I hope you will answer soon and begin to work together on it. (Btw, you have been promoted on the forums , congrats ! )

Salamanders
Hail Lord Algrim,

I hope you don't mind me interrupting with an edit on the Salamanders page, while it is open. Those things had been bugging me for a while.

In the future I may ask for you permission to do that kind of edit on the other Legion pages, but I want to go through with the other Space Marine pages first and would only take the chance, if one Legion article is open anyway.

Space Marine Weapon Loadouts
Hey Algrim,

Someone updated the Tactical, Assault and Devastator Marines pages' Wargear sections to include Grav-weapons, including the Grav-cannon, which is not in my opinion an infantry weapon. Can you check whether the wargear load-outs have actually been updated either in the 7th Edition or some other new source to include these weapons for those units? If not, feel free to roll it all back to before the change was made. Thanks Montonius (talk) 20:55, February 23, 2017 (UTC)

Lord Caustos
Dear Algrim, I've started a thorough revision of the SM Chapters at the Spanish Wiki, and after checking your sources for the Damned Company of Lord Caustos, I see no mention at all in the Index Astartes that Caustos' boys ever ally themselves with the Imperium, nor that Caustos himself believes in the Emperor but not the Imperium. The text I included in the warband's history is a literal transcription from the IA, and it's rather clear they've joined Chaos because the Imperium doesn't give them any quarter.

In any case, I'm also including the interlinks that bind our articles with yours and vice versa (as agreed with Montonius some time ago), so if you find my wording or changes are wrong, please don't just press "reverse edition", as that will also erase the interlink. This did not happen in this case, fortunately, but please do keep it in mind :P

If there is any way I can be more helpful to you during my revision of the Chapters, I'm keen to hear you all out!

Gathering Storm II
Algrim,

Just a heads up. I have begun adding the Gathering Storm II material to the Eldar page, which is where the main storyline will go. I have sealed the page until the material is added, which will take me a while. I'll need your help to bring the information from this book to all the other Craftworld, Eldar, Harlequin, and Dark Eldar pages that need it. When I've finished, please look at all the red links in the main storyline I've added to the Eldar page, which we will use to fill in the missing info, and help me start adding them to the wiki. There will be a lot, because our Eldar and Dark Eldar pages have never been as extensive as they should have been, but this will be a great extension of their storylines! Thanks! Montonius (talk) 05:04, February 27, 2017 (UTC)

P.S. How did you get that cool Aquila in the blue header at the top of this page? I want one too! Can you add it to my profile page? I'm not cool anymore! LOL. Montonius (talk) 08:13, February 28, 2017 (UTC)

Roboute Guilliman and Betalis III campaign
Hi Algrim, did you get your hands on the third part of the Gathering Storm? If you did then could you send it to me? I REALLY want to add data to the Roboute Guilliman article, but if you want to do it by yourself then I won't stand in your way.

Also, Montonius is pressuring me to finish the Betalis III Campaign article. I've 5 more pages to go before I finish the history section. Though I do understand that the article requires more data than just the history section. Could you help me with this article in any way? Like add the missing data of the number of forces on both sides and some other stuff? I will REALLY appreciate that help.

Thank you in advance!

Housekeeping
Hey Algrim,

Few things to bring to your notice. On the Space Marine Legions page, no disrespect was meant. Our pages are extremely long, and they can become monotonous for the reader, particularly when the same written formula is used over and over on bullet points. I changed "Legionary" to "Astartes" in paragraphs where the term was overused to enhance readability; as the terms are synonyms, its a better way to prepare those paragraphs to avoid monotony. I have not changed them back since you made the effort to revert all of them, but where I see writing that is monotonous to the reader, it is best to use synonyms to add variety.

Next, I have split the 13th Black Crusade articles into one that contains the out of date ending and one which incorporates the new Fall of Cadia ending. I did this because the combined page was simply too confusing now that the Fall of Cadia has retconned the outcome of the original 2003 ending of the 13th Black Crusade from a stalemate to a Chaos victory. I hunted down and added every event from the old page that I believed to still be canon, but when I have completed it, please look it over and see if I missed anything to your knowledge that is still canon after the change.

I would like to raise VooDoo to Moderator as a reward for his willingness to pursue the mind-numbing but necessary work for checking all of our pages for grammar and consistency flaws. He has done an incredible job at a painstaking and difficult task (made even more impressive by the fact that he's a native German-speaker!) and I would like him to continue to carry out this task across the entire wiki, thus relieving me of the burden. As a reward, I'd like to make him a mod, if you agree.

13th Black Crusade Old and New
The new 13th Black Crusade is complete and ready for you to look over. I hunted down every hint in the new book of the past events that were still considered canon and I found a way to integrate both timelines so that the majority of the original one is still canonical. The lists of orders of battle are probably not entirely correct, but since there is no indicator of a new one, and the majority of the old material is still canon, particularly those events that occurred OUTSIDE of the Cadia System itself, I think they're still pretty accurate. This project was a beast. I'll go on to the Eldar now and complete Volume II.

There are many red links that resulted from the new material (both on the 13th BC page and for the Eldar when it's done) and many changes to the old material on other pages that still must be made; when you finish all of Book 7 of the HH (a chore in itself I'm sure), I'll need your help to start filling all of this in.

I have created the category Gathering Storm; this is to be used just for any pages that contain a complete part of the story for The Gathering Storm books like 13th Black Crusade, The Eldar and Roboute Guilliman, NOT for any page on a character or unit in some way connected to those events; I just want users to be able to swiftly navigate between the pages that contain each part of the complete storyline for The Gathering Storm.

Hey Algrim,

Is there any more that needs to be added to the Alric Prime page? You stopped work on it in July and I've removed the construction sign from it because it seems complete. You never really leave this stuff incomplete, so I removed the sign, but please feel free to complete it if there's still more work to do. Montonius (talk) 10:59, March 30, 2017 (UTC)

Battle Barge / Gloriana-class Battleship
Hail Algrim,

I saw you editing the Battle Barge article. I don't know for sure, but someone removed the Vengeful Spirit from the list of Battle Barges some time ago. I think this was, because a Gloriana-class Battleship was not considered a Battle Barge. Just thought I might point that out, in case it is indeed a fact. That would affect other flagships of the Horus Heresy Era like the Fidelitas Lex or the Shadow of the Emperor as well.

For the Emperor.

Honoured Sons
Hey Algrim,

I'm curious where the color scheme and insignia came from for the Honoured Sons. Is there some canon that I missed that states this? The only thing I know of is in the SM codex and the symbol being an aquila. It doesn't mention anything about a skull or them being green.

That is the chapter I play and if there is additional canon somewhere I would love to read it or learn more.

NGC40k (Talk) (aka Peter) 14, Apr 2017

No that's great actually. Finally getting some background on my chosen chapter. It means I have to repaint, but eh. The scheme doesn't look bad. Mine was far more romanesc colors.

Is this same successor chapter book where the Imperial Fist rumor comes from?

Luis Dante
Hello!

I'm requesting to edit Dante's page. There's a few mistakes on it (Chiefly CERVAN Dante. Cervan is a made up name) Guy Haley's newest book DANTE which was released March 21 reveals alot of Luis (Pre-Blood Angel) Dante (Angel Name)'s untold personal history. As the book was released by the Black Library I do believe it can be considered cannon. I own the book and would like to make a few minor changes to the wiki page, mainly about his true name, and his early life, and his true age. Dante is over 1,547 years old, not 1,300. Thank you very much for your time.

Jolojose (talk) 06:59, April 19, 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for editing and updating the Dante page! I did notice a tiny spelling mistake though. " He was born a  mortal name Luis to a man called Arreas" I assume you meant "He was born a mortal, named Luis"

I saw you adding a paragraph to the new Primaris Space Marines page, which I felt was more in place at the "Indomitus Crusade" section of the Roboute Guilliman page.

Siege of Vraks
Hey Zach, I was wondering if, when you could find the time, you could finish up the Siege of Vraks page for us? Make this your number one priority for whenever you have time to contribute?

Horus Heresy Battles Template
I have created a new template to track all Horus Heresy narrative progress. You can find it here http://warhammer40k.wikia.com/wiki/Template:Horus_Heresy_Battles, and on the pages it so far covers. It's a handy way to see how much material we still need to fill in, and I'll be using it as we go forward and I urge you to do so as well. I will be creating a lot more of these templates to help provide guides to what we need to get filled in on the wiki. Each of these pages will also require the use of the campaign template, when and if you start to create them.

Oh, one more thing, can we get page numbers on the Alan Bligh forge World books for the Drop Site Massacre and Battle of Calth pages? No numbers are given currently. Thanks! Montonius (talk) 02:05, May 28, 2017 (UTC)

Magnus Page Numbers
Hey Zach, can I get page numbers for the The Horus Heresy - Book Seven: Inferno source on the Magnus the Red page? In the future, if you happen to see the Forge World books used as a source on a page without page numbers, let's add them when possible. As we grow more popular, our sources are coming under increasing scutiny and we need to be as tip-top in that department as possible. Thanks. Montonius (talk) 02:22, May 30, 2017 (UTC)

So sorry
Hey Algrim,

I am so sorry for that :-( I just checked what I did wrong and apparently while redoing my PC, the Time was not set right. It showed me you edited the article around 6 hours prior to the time it really was ... Should have watched my PC time for reference.

I will be sure to wait at least an hour, maybe better 2, if you edited an article more than once.

Sorry again. If I can do anything to make it up to you, just tell me.

For the Emperor.

Vo0DoO40k (talk) 18:59, May 30, 2017 (UTC)

Primaris Space Marines
Zach, I really, really love your new Primaris Space Marine pictures. But these are not canon (though I can't see one difference between the canon and these pictures as long as you keep the Bolter in front of the torso), and we're going to get hit for using them. I hate, hate when we're attacked for this since I feel we are superior in pretty much every way except extent of coverage to our competitors, but I really like the pictures and think they set us apart. What are your feelings on this issue? Montonius (talk) 00:55, May 31, 2017 (UTC)

Then they're staying, because I think they're freaking awesome, and I LOATHE the low quality artwork we get now. However, they must also be paired with the existing canon images somewhere on the page, as we have done on the Primaris Space Marine page and I will do on the others. My ruling is that although they are not "canon," as long as they do not depict any errors or deviations from the canon images, they can remain, and you should keep making them as the new Chapters roll out and make them as close as possible to the canon images. However, this is an exception only for this particular issue and for the Chapter badges you make (also awesome!), and does not mean there will be any other type of fan-made additions allowed. If asked about it, make clear that the images you created exactly mirror the canon and do not deviate from it, and that even the Lexicanum has created fan made pictures to support their page structures (i.e., those galaxy maps they put on every planetary page - not Canon!) Montonius (talk) 01:51, May 31, 2017 (UTC)

Zach, you're going to hate me but I think the backpacks need to be above the top of the helmet for Mark X armour. Take a look at some of the pictures of the miniatures which are much more to scale, particularly any one comparing the old figures with the Primaris. The centre of the backpack seems to be slightly above the top of the head, or at least  flush with it. Montonius (talk) 03:49, May 31, 2017 (UTC)

Honestly it seems to shift depending on the artwork as well as the perspective. I would use the minis as the definitive benchmark since they are to scale. But I guess we need to see one, pictures don't seem to cut it. I would move the backpack up slightly just to be safe, since it wont hurt the picture and will avoid charges that it's an error when you change the other things, but I honestly can't make a definitive ruling. It's a bit frustrating. Montonius (talk) 04:01, May 31, 2017 (UTC)

On further investigation the backpack is definitely at least flush with the top of the helmet. There's a reason the canon pictures have it that way. Check out the images on Google of the old and new minis next to each other. The backpack is definitely higher than on the Mark VII. Montonius (talk) 04:46, May 31, 2017 (UTC)

Just a final clarification. When we create the new Primaris Space Marine Chapter pages, put your new images in the gallery, not as the Chapter Colour Scheme. I need the canon images up front, though you can certainly use the ones you make in the galleries to illustrate the armour and weapons they are holding. See the four Primaris Chapter pages we made for an example of this. That should be a good enough compromise to meet everyone's needs and still allow us to have some good-looking art on these pages. But those images have to always be paired with the canon ones, they can't stand alone. Montonius (talk) 23:12, May 31, 2017 (UTC)

Page Numbers
Hey Zach, I still need page numbers for Magnus the Red's Horus Heresy Book 7 source and also for the Adeptus Custodes Codex on that page. We really need  page numbers with everything now, even if its just the block of text you took everything from as I did for the Gathering Storm cites. If you can't find them, just tell me. But no more use of a whole book without some form of citation. For Digital Editions, however, where the page numbers is a huge pain in the ass, I will allow the use of just putting the section you drew the material from in quotes. For instance, if you're using one of the digital rips with screwed up pages, just say Codex: Dark Eldar (7th Edition), "Kabal Colours" in that format instead of the page numbers if they don't really conform to the written work or the file really doesn't have any page numbers. I've been using this format on many of the new pages and it really works well when using some of those pageless 7th Edition sources. page numbers are vastly prefearble of course, but so much material from 7th Edition has to be added, and for most of it page numbers are almost meaningless.

P.S. One little thing. The Gathering Storm is a book title, not an actual in-universe event with that name. You can't mention it in the pages, you have to refer to the events of the period, like the Ultramar Invasion, the 13th Black Crusade, the fall of Cadia, the Terran Crusade, the Battle of Biel-Tan (an upcoming page!), etc.

Thanks. Montonius (talk) 23:20, May 31, 2017 (UTC)

Executioners
Zach, there's a problem with the Executioners colours. Check out the talk page to answer that guy's questions. I can replace some of the art tomorrow with the more correct colour schemes, but I don't know the answer to hsi question about the different coloured shoulder plates and where you got the information. Montonius (talk) 03:42, June 2, 2017 (UTC)

Table Background
Hi Zach,

On the Founding page, I've added the wiki's new blue table background, which will now be standard on all wiki tables to provide a uniform and distinctive look. Please use it on any tables or navigation elements you create in the future. Also, if you could, please bold the Chapter names in the tables so they stand out more. It will be easier for you because you need to go through each remaining entry separately to add the Chapter Badges. Thanks! Montonius (talk) 16:07, June 7, 2017 (UTC)

Is, Are and Colours
Hey Zach,

Our grammarian VooDoo pointed out a while ago that it is more correct grammatically to use "is" rather than "are" in English when referring to Space Marine Chapters with a plural title because it is A Chapter, not the plural, which would be multiple Chapters. It sounds funny but is more correct, like a lot of things in English. He has changed it on almost every page, and we should keep it that way for consistency.

I have also created new colour codes for each faction to be used for their lists and or navigation elements, if any. So far we have dark blue (anything related to the Imperium and just a default for any non-faction specific list since it matches our website colour scheme), deep red (Chaos), light green (Orks), dark green (Necrons), light blue (Eldar, Exodites and Harlequins), tan for the Tau, a kind of purple/black for the Dark Eldar, and I think we'll go with a nasty looking yellow for the Tyranids. This will really aid navigation, though since we don't have that many lists, they'll only be used sparingly. I haven't chosen the exact color yet for the Tau, Dark Eldar and Tyranids, when I do I'll leave you a list of the hexes for each faction, or you can just rip the code off of a page with a list on it, or use the template name, if you ever even need to use it. Our pages don't have much need for this, but now we'll have it for when we do. Oh, nice job on the Founding pages, love the new Badges for some of the Chapters! Montonius (talk) 01:48, June 8, 2017 (UTC)

Nice Job
Great job on the upgrade to the Founding page. Looks great! Montonius (talk) 04:14, June 9, 2017 (UTC)

Chapter Appearance
Hi Zach,

Just one small thing, You don't need to use the term "colour" or "coloured" on every description of the Chapter Appearance. It's redundant and already understood by the reader. VooDoo has removed it from almost every Space Marine page. No need to put it back. See the changes I made to Black Dragons for the simpler standard scheme. Montonius (talk) 21:27, June 11, 2017 (UTC)

Nemesis
Hi Zach,

What is the source for the Nemesis Chapter's badge and Chapter colours? The only one I could find is the same one the Lexicanum uses from Adeptus Astartes: Successor Chapters (Limited Release Booklet). It shows the Nemesis Chapter as green with a white skull for a badge. Montonius (talk) 03:49, June 13, 2017 (UTC)



Hi Zach, Yeah, unfortunately that's not how I read that evidence. Pg. 73 indicates that those changes were made when the Nemesis Chapter was still a part of the Ultramarines Legion, but you cannot extrapolate anything from it about what they look like now in any way that would be considered canonical. There's actually no canon conflict here, unless a source from the 41st Millennium says they look otherwise and conflicts with the Index Astartes image. The only canon source I have for the 41st Millennia is that green picture, and that's the canon, whether we like it or not, or whether the difference over time is explained or not. That's why the Lexicanum uses it. You can indicate in the Chapter History, as you already did, that the Chapter took on the changed livery when it was still part of the XIII Legion, but that's all you can say, and you can only say it about that time in the Great Crusade, not about how it was carried forward in time, for which there is no evidence.

Now, we can certainly clean up the green picture, I know you'll make it look great and add the skull badge as the Chapter badge, but I have to go with that Index Astartes picture as canonical until we get further evidence. When it comes to canon, there is no extrapolation from the sources, we have to go only with what is written, or in this case, displayed as a picture for the time period in question. Sorry, but thanks for the clarification on the source. Montonius (talk) 04:28, June 13, 2017 (UTC)
