I'd say I'm good to write severe policies.

I don't really mind using city, planet or other landscape pictures from other settings. I care it in that point, where there are tons of floating shit everywhere which is so-not-40k, or human soldiers futu-tech suits and guns and things like that. For example, Halo guys just wouldn't really fit in 40k in the matter of their weaponry or armoury, just my oppinion.

And yes, I think that real life pictures should be banned. Maybe, as you say, if they are photoshopped into extreme measures where they can not be identified as real life pictures in the first sight, like (for example) Forge World's pictures in IA -books, I think that is just nice. And I don't care if the same thing is used for a real person. My point there was, that nobody - I think and hope - wants to see Sir Cristopher Lee to depict some Adepta Sororitas Canoness which would by every regard be okay on this site at the moment and in fact I'm a bit surprised it haven't been done already.

But yes, they might seem strict ones to you, but I wouldn't even notice the difference if these were to be put in use... except in the way that about 8000 pictures would be removed.
