As many of you know, there are certain questions that crop up time and time again on these background forums. This isn't a bad thing since it can engender interesting and novel discussion of even these repeated topics. However, to help a new poster who is after some of the more common information I'm going to create this thread and, every now and again, invite someone to add to it the "answers" to some of those more standard questions. This partially ties into the "40kOnline Encyclopaedia" project so, eventually, might become redundant. Until then, though, feel free to post this link in answer to repeated questions, etc.
Some ground rules, though:
- Do not post to this thread unless invited to do so. Uninvited posts will be summarily deleted even if they do contain useful information.
- Do not post copy/pasted, or even transcribed, tracts of 'fluff'/background. That is in violation of GW copyright and the forum rules, and any such information will be summarily deleted and the poster "reported" for said infringement.
- Related to the above, post summaries only. Do not merely paraphrase and think that this is sufficient to get around the second point, above.
Thanks for listening and contributing. The discussion version of this thread can be found:
