Info - Great pictorial purge
Hello everyone, I have started the Great Pictorial Purge and like to say couple things about it.
- 1 What is..?
- 2 What about my images?
- 3 What can I do?
- 4 Post scriptum
GPP in short means, that I'll go through every single image on this wiki and delete all unused images. At the same time I also try to categorise all uncategorised images.
If your images are in use, they won't get deleted. Most likely. There is of course possibility, that I accidentally remove couple used images too, but that can be corrected. If picture is missing from one of your pages, that propably means I've removed it, just message me, and I'll correct it.
If you have uploaded images on this wiki and you are planning to use them, put them in your sandbox/profile/article. That way I…
Should i just start an Open Article thing for this..?
So, I Kinda dropped my Space Marine Chapter in Favor of a more Welcoming Faction, The Tau. (Ialsohappentofindthemslightlymoreaffordable)
I have the Idea of making a Sept called "Sey'Ver" And it would be a Gue'Vesa Integrated Sept.
I am currently indecisive of whether or not I would want it to possibly be an Enclave Sept, due to some ideas that I have for the sept as it is.
I have a few characters planned out as well, and how the sept is, and what kind of impact it might have, but i'm not sure if it is Fanon Approved so i came here :\
Generally, the Sey'Ver sept would have just as Many Gue'La as Shas'La, due to the complete integration into tau society, other than the vocal setback. They also happen to be a very tinkery Sept (hopefully), and…
Policies navbox
I am quietly exploring my newfound abilities and so I came to policy pages.
Now as I think about them, I can see a certain thing that is missing, navbox. Not that it would be must, I think it would be, in some cases at least, quite useful. So, I am proposing, that we add navbox to our policy pages, similar to following:
It doesn't need to be that above... I think it could be a bit... better. Well anyway, what do'ya think? I can of course use the category pages as lists myself, but not everyone are aware of such and even if they are, they can't use it effectively. I know this for spending great deal of my evening explaining my friend how the categories work.
Canon Discussion 4: Sensei, Perpetuals and the Illuminati
It's been ten months, but this is the fourth blog discussion aimed at providing feedback for proposed updates to our Canon Policy. On this Blog Users may discuss any subject pertaining to Sensei, Perpetuals and the Illuminati in both the context of the Horus Heresy-era up until 999.M41 as well as the possible issues presented by these topics.
This Blog will be open from Wednesday September 11th to Wednesday September 18th. If you wish to propose a topic for discussion then please leave a comment on the blog.
Subjects of discussion include:
- Should Sensei still be treated as canon?
- Should the Illuminati still be treated as canon?
- Are Perpetuals the intrinsic replacement for Sensei in the 40k setting?
- Should Perpetual characters be permitted upon t…
Chat is kill again
As the title says, great chat wiki.
http://preview.warhammer40kfanon.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Chat
This will allow you to get onto the chat.
Mech suits, are they allowed?
As the name suggests, are they allowed or is it disallowed for some random reason? I'm asking this cause I've had an idea brewing for some time and I realised how hard it'd be to make them if they didn't have some unique weapon or vehicle. So again are they allowed?
IG Colab: For real this time
So after a rather enlightening conversation on the Chat, Plaguenumber3 and I decided we wanted to make an actual Imperial Guard Story, without in turning into a massive clusterfuck right from the start.
In case you haven't already noticed, this is a colab proposal.
The current users on the colab are:
- Yours truly, 40kfan
- Plaguenumber3
- OrkMarine
- Blackdamp - let's hear it for the new guy
- Ghost is also going to contribute with her one character, Krieg 809. He's just one Guardsman, so her contribution doesn't count as a faction.
We have our fourth member. Colab is closed now.
The factions taking part in the colab are:
- The Empyran Pantheon (me) - I'm not insulted if you don't know who these guys are
- Erranigos Vindicta Cohort (Plague) - He is also doing one…
Question about starting a space marine Chapter
I'd like to start a Space marine chapter based around my (currently growing) Tabletop army. I was originally going to call them "Rising Suns" but am rethinking the name abit now that i found out there is already one called "Rising Sons"
The color scheme is Red, Silver, Black, and one of the main things i wanted to incorporate is that they work in close proximity with the Imperial Guard, or as in the way i play the tabletop, as one army. I incorporate Imperial Soldiers into the ranks of my army at the moment, and would like to in some way make that work, despite how in the Astartes Chapter Founding page, I cannot have a personal Non-SM soldiers. I know that i can have a Homeworld Defense force, but because they do not fight FOR the chapter, …
Commisar (he knows he spelt it wrong) Wadders is leaving
As the title suggest the Commisar is leaving, and won't be returning. So he has given permission for me to be owner of his pages if that is alright?
Getting a longer chat ban for things in IRL, mein sides when
I accept my one day ban, but that's for stuff I said directly to him in chat.
Supha, it is quite pathetic that your increasing my ban for things said in another chat sent to you by Ghost. It's pretty sad. I can accept my ban for calling you an Autist moral fag in our own chat, but in another your not even part of? On a separate website? That's total tier.

Chat Problems
Well, as some of you might have noticed; chat isn't working. It's Wikia-wide, and apparently the 'tech squad' is trying to fix it. Not sure when the issue will be resolved, but until it is I suggest we all keep in touch with talk pages. Just thought I should address this.
Images, images everywhere!
So, as you have been complaining (you in general) that I've just been whining about the images and not doing anything about them, I've been thinking, that I could do something about them.
So I can go through as many images I am capable with my mortal body and soul, and mark all the unused images for deletation to clear the database a bit. As long as images aren't needed to categorise, I won't waste my time doing so, because as I've said; without policies there are no rules breaking. The amount of unused images is however stunning and I live in a belief that it could free the wiki a bit up and maybe fasten some things if they were removed.
So with a blessing of admins I'm willing to go through unused images/videos and mark them for deletation…
Codex Approved Astartes Chapter Heraldry
Hi everyone.
So, I have been reading a lot of Space Marine Chapter fannon pages on here as they are more or less my favorite 40K faction and though I have read some absolutly brilliant fannon, I have also seen quite a few colour schemes that were... poorly thought out. So I just wanted to show people the 'Codex Approved' way that colour schemes are made. The Codex Astartes dictates every element of Space Marine life (well, the non-deviant ones at least) and as such EVERYTHING they do is structured and regimented. Chapter uniform colour is no different. Each Chapter has a uniform colour that is reminiscent of medieval English heraldry (or near abouts) which is chosen at the founding of the Chapter by consulting tracts with in the Codex Asta…
To who it may concern
A concerned anonymous user has written an open letter to the admins:
"the admins are more interested in bickering among themselves than in being admins. chat is being ravaged by admins poking at each other what is the point? why do people even care? the admins are not what is important here. one could argue that the admins are in fact holding this wiki back by turning every little disagreement into a much larger and more distracting ordeal. the entire administration should relinquish their positions, since it is clear that they have no intention of making good use of them. do you really think the common wiki user cares whether or not you think someone deserves to be an admin or bureaucrat? well, we don't! you decide to make a fuss over ds, …
Looking for writer!
Hi you,
I've wrote about a Dark Apostle, Vermillion Preacher, originating from the Word Bearers chaos space marine legion. As I have pretty much no knowledge about the nature of Dark Apostles or of Chaos Legions, I'd like to ask, if someone would like to write about one.
Downside is, that he is to be killed by an inquisitor and her Sororitas task force in mid-M41, but if that is okay, please contact me and I cacn give you further info about this man.
Things to be pointed out
Well, now as Sol and his gang have demonstrated the power of being rustled, I'd like to point some things out.
Even if you've had that internal struggle about the handle of power and crying out like little teenagers, I think there are more than few, in my oppinion, pressing matters. And, as you might guess, they concern about the rules.

I'd like to point out, that there are tons of codex articles that are, considering the front page and the rules, against the rules, and have been under deletation for over month and an half. Why are they not deleted? What are you waiting for? Why am I giving time for a site where admins prefer to …
Power Debate
Greetings my fellow community members, Solomus-BlackWing here.
You may or may not be aware that a number of the site’s previous administrator’s decided to mess with the community quite a while back, and their actions have not yet been punished. The bureaucrats I am referring to include Blade Bane, Totalimmortal XD, and the site’s founder; Dark Seer. Be forewarned, because this blog is going to delve deep into Wiki Politics and is most likely going to be a large wall of text that you must read through to completely understand the situation. Way back in April, Total, Blade Bane, and Dark Seer came to the decision that Totalimmortal should be given the position of bureaucrat, and without consulting the rest of the community, went and promoted …
Alternate Timeline Idea That I'm Really Psyched About
In case you haven't seen what Dirge and I were talking about before, I have this amazing idea for an alternate timeline. Imagine the Heresy never happened. Lorgar never got all pissy about not being able to worship anymore. Well, if the Imperium just got a free pass to take over the galaxy, where's the exitement? You'd have space marines without jobs, just keeping the peace. BUT, what if in M34 something completely unforeseen happened? Here's my prologue:
Guilliman's gaze left nothing unobserved. He took in everything about the vessel: the contours, the coloration, and, most of all, its immense size. It easily dwarfed Terra, and it seemed to cast a shadow of unease, even from this distance.
Knowing his call would never go unanswered, he spok…
User Factions
Hello everyone! It's the power behind the throne again. I am here to talk to you all about a neat little idea that occured to me. Many of the Users on this site identify themselves with one of the canon forces in 40k. I myself will be the first to mention that I am a disciple of Tzeentch. So I was thinking, what if we made site factions that Users could join? Essentially the Users involved would create a made up group that belonged to one of the Canon forces. Users that identified with said faction would be able to join. A template announcing the User's allegiance would be placed upon the User's profile. Now if we do this I believe it would only be proper that there only be one User Faction per major Canon faction in 40k. Furthermore a fac…
A Simple Proposition
It has been a notable concern from members of the Warhammer 40k Fanon community that the quality of articles has degraded slightly while others have been left to rot. Thus, I propose that a stricter set of quality guidelines are outlined more clearly and a purge of all articles that fail to comply is conducted.
The proposed guidelines would be as followed.
- All articles must adhere to not contradicting the established canon.
- All articles must be more than three paragraphs in length.
- All articles must make use of acceptable punctuation, spelling and grammar.
- All articles must make use of an information box.
- All articles must make use of a property template.
Canon policy (part 3)
I'm pretty sure we can go with these parts to the end of numbers if you leave this aside. So, take a look and say what you think. Like NecrusIV said, this site's rules need to be set in concrete, and like I've said so many times before, now the canon policy is but a blog post of meaningless rambling. I've so many times tried to find if something is canon-friendly or not, that I've waded through that canon policy and it sucks every single time. Not to mention that afterwards some user comes and just says "hey, this isn't allowed in here", like it really red anywhere.
So please, take a look on it. If someone really needs the explanations for these policies, I can not see why they couldn't be written on some other page, used as a reference. We…

Let's get this clusterfuck on the road shall we?

A Legacy (Pt 6.1)-RP 1
Hello!
As you know the Legacy role play has now been split into three separate role plays (one for the members of the Ordo Malleus/Spritus, Ordo Xenos/Corpus and Ordo Herecticus/Animus).

Category - Copyright
Just so you know and I don't need to put my signature in every article:
I removed the "copyright" category. Reasons explained here from every article in that category. RemosPendragon (talk) 10:37, June 19, 2014 (UTC)
Quality Issue - Stub - NCF
At the moment we have:
- 76 stub articles!
- 26 NCF articles!
- 76 articles in need of improvement!
- 34 archived articles
...of which some may of course be same articles.
Let me ask you long-term users:
Why you keep your old stuff here unfinished, under construction, stubs-forever-to-be? Why? What is the point of having those articles around? I suggest that you who have archived articles, check those through and either resurrect them or put them to deletation. You are (at some parts) good writers all, why can't you finish those old articles of yours so they would even be fun to read?
Whisper Dragons in the firing line?
Ok, so I have spent a good portion of three months creating my beloved Whisper Dragons and honestly I think it's time they did something interesting; seeming that they have spent most their time fighting among themselves. So, I propose a collaboration including the Whisper Dragons and which ever faction/s wish to join in. The outcome will be entirely uninhibited and so may end in any way (even the complete destruction of the Chapter, war is war and these things happen). If you are interested please do let me know. Thankyou.
Note: The conflict will be taking place in the north of Segmentum Obscurus between 950 to 999.M41

Artsy Articles
Hi everyone one.
I was thinking of making a 'how to' article labelled 'How to bring your fanon to life', which would about making interesting and 'dynamic' looking pages. I have seen some very poorly set out articles with HUGE sections of uninterrupted text and absolutely no images or colour, and honestly thought the word content may have been brilliant it lacked any and all visual interest, and was very difficult to read due to this.
My 'how to' would show the proper use of heading, images, colour and so one as well as a section on how to make interesting paragraphs. As I have said, there are some amazing writers on this wiki, but some page I have read were more of an information pamphlet than a fanon article. To make a good fanon you NEE…
A Legacy (Pt. 6)
Children of the Warhammer 40,000 Fanon Wiki! The time has come for the end of our beloved collab, it is time for the RP! This will be my final blog for the collab, where the members of the collab will discuss the RP in detail. Who writes what and when do they write it, interactions between characters, beginning, middle, and end. Think of this as a collaborative storyboard, so that we can all discuss the plot of the RP itself.
Before any of us get started, I would like you all to review the Role play policy which can be found here. Additionally, I would like to announce that this will not be like other RPs, where users divide paragraphs amongst each other. Instead, I strive to make this RP into something akin to this story, where users write…
DeathWatch Colab, Part one
Ok so as the title says, I'm planning a Deathwatch colab. Essentially several Kill Teams (at MAX five) are tasked with dealing with a (at most subsector) wide Xeno's threat. Every Kill-team is answering to group of Inquistior Lords (yet to be determined). The Kill team sizes must be up to seven people, any more and the Kill Team must be culled before participation.
Ok so In short, what I need to start this off:
Kill Teams: I will contribute my in-the-making Kill Team Pythos, so that leaves up to four more Kill Teams
Inquisitors: I'm thinking two-five, so at max one for each Kill Team
Locations: Planets, Space Hulks, etc
Xeno's: Any Xeno's may be volunteered, fanon or canon. I don't have a specified number yet but only a few will be needed.
If …
Imperial Worlds - Tithes and stuff
Ok, lets clear some things up.
There is nine (9) planet types with Greek alphabet. The fact, is the alphabet actually canon or not... I don't know. I haven't found the references yet or find it quite controversial.
Nevertheless, I've collected planet types and given them their "tithe recommendations". This includes all tithes that have been stated for the particular planet type and those left between. (40 and 60 stated, 50 included). So here we have them:
I would also like to add, that "Knight world" referring to Imperial Knights and therefore to Adeptus Mechanicus, are most likely tithed as Aptus Non as they are part of Mechanicus. Also, Forge worlds are tithed as Aptus Non, but have production rates which they fill for the Imperium. Therefore…
I am your new lord and savior
After a long and very vigorous discussion with our glorious founder, Dark Seer, who may or may not have been drinking whiskey at the time, I have become a bureaucrat on this beautiful wiki.
What does this mean for you?
- Things will actually make sense now.
Let's have fun together, guys :)
A Legacy (Pt. 5)
Brothers and Sisters! The end is in sight, and it is time to raise our weapons and finish this collab so we might all reach the RP we have dreamed of writing! This blog is not about discussing the next topic to cover for the collab, this is not about discussing characters, planets, or the sector. This blog is a list of articles that are the last thing standing in our way of completing this collab, and is meant to give you all perspective on how close we are to completing the collab. The list is as followed:
Triam
Bythantis
Gladius
Dedriton
Spiritus
Mordred Troy
These articles are the only things left to write, and could easily be finished within a matter of days. I have already begun writing Mordred, and it is Supah's job to write the Spiritus Br…
Imperial Worlds
Hiya eeevribody. I was going to write a How-to article about Imperial worlds. I have not really looked up this wiki's planet articles but I thought that it wouldn't harm anyone to do one. Before that though, I wanted some thoughts concerning the Forge Worlds's "production rates" that are not (in my belief) really explained.
So, check it out and give some comments.
- 1 Tithing and production rates
- 1.1 Forge Worlds
- 1.2 Astartes
- 2 Aestimare
Okay. As everyone (hopefully) knows, every Imperial world is tithed of its main product, which might (in my belief) be whatever between furniture and human blood. Okay, maybe too wide range but anyway, Imperium can tithe planets of people (to become Imperial Guard, or other military forces such as navy or Schola cadets…
Collab Preposition
As the title suggests, I am proposing a Collab idea. The basis of the Collab is that of a rebellion. A very wealth man/woman, either a Rogue Trader or a Planetary Governor, has drawn together his forces to stage a rebellion within an out of the way system. Among his forces there are guard regiments who have broken off to his side, and even Dark Eldar Mercenaries. This is NOT a chaotic rebellion, there is no chaos involved. This is also not some goody goody lets make a better society, this guy is just as bad as the Imperium of Mankind. If someone wants to provide the Man/Woman and the Rebel Guard then so be it.
- No more then five people, minimum of three people for the collab to start. Just because you comment first does not mean you are give…
Image policies
Now, as I've gone through couple pics in my late night hours, I think I need to say something about this.
This wiki needs image-policies.
And they do not need to be elaborate or complex, there just has to be some rules, like I've said before. First of all, it needs to be written, as there is none. Whaaaat?! What a surprise, dän-dän-däään! Okay... I'm a bit tired now, let's get on it:
- 1 Image policy
- 1.1 General
- 1.2 Characters

Featured Article criterias (part 2)
OK..... let's get ON this thing next. I think that I don't need to whine about the pics anymore so... here is some thoughts concerning the featured articles that at this point are of no good.
For these following criterias, I've used Star Wars Fanon's rules for FA 'cos they seem to be quite good. Being not as strict though, as we have a bit less users and articles than SW-fanon.

- 2 Special requirements

- 2.2 Organization Requirements
- 2.3 Device/Vehicle Requirements
- 2.4 Species Requirements

- Not subject to "QualityIssue", "Stub…
Community project - Images
Hey, I thought I'll write about this, as it came into my mind and I think it would be of great help for the wiki and its community, please comment what you think about it.
- 1 Problem
- 1.1 Pictures of "real people"
- 1.2 Other people's art
- 1.3 "Stock" images
- 2 Solution
As you propably know, I've been furiously against the custom in this site, that Users use some random images for their characters. Worst of all, some think that it is ok to use celebrities's, actors's and politicians's pictures to depict their own character. I find it absolutely repulsive and let me say why:
Are you ok, if I would write a character and put your picture to depict him/her. I know AbyssalHorror wouldn't mind, as he seems to think it is but an honour if someone finds his picture …

only fully undecided factor thus far is the planet (and thus page) name
Lord General: (as I have not gotten much feedback besides Wadders suggestion) we'll use Lord General Alexandrovich Ramius from Ozue, a agressive slash and burn commander intent on the utter destruction of his enemies and driven by the prospect of doing what no space marine, not even a primarch had successfully done before.

Canon policy (part 2)
I'm not saying this particular page is not good. It just has way too much useless rambling around instead of just saying: this is no good. Because you can say it, we do not tolerate this-and-this, and it is a rule. So, I took some time and summarized the page.
I don't really care how you like it but in my oppinion, it is much easier to find anything considering the rules when they are simply stated. I think that the point of further info falls for the "How to" -articles. Rules just state what is right and what is wrong and How to articles can ponder how much they feel like with some specific thing.
Also, what is "current" or "now". Does this site think that year 40999 is last canon-friendly year and all after that are considered non-canon befo…
Canon policy
Just because I got a feeling for these blog-posts, I think I'll continue...
- 1 Current policies
- 2 Canon policy
- 2.1 Emperor class canon
- 2.2 Primarch class canon
- 2.3 Warmaster class canon
- 2.4 Not considered as canon
First of all I want to say that this site's Canon policy is not complete. It is unfinished and written in a way of a blog text which makes it look like some hobbyist's (you damn hobbyists!) saturday evening's writings. Not in a bad way, but certainly not in a good way. What I'm trying to say with this is, that even though it is more enjoyable to read casual text like that, it isn't really a policy. It is an oppinion now, not rule of any kind. At least to me it seems like so. So what I suggest, and what I suggested in my previous blog-post, tha…
The Second Great Purge
A year has passed since the First Great Purge was conducted. Many articles were listed and dealt with accordingly. Thus, it is time for the Second Great Purge in the hopes of starting an annual tradition of culling the site of undesirable articles.
This year, things will be run differently. The guidelines that were used the time before are now enshrined in the rules of the wiki under the Article Quality Policy and the Canon Policy.
Therefore, this time, instead of just listing articles in need of review the intention would be to have users become actively involved in the process.
This will be an entirely voluntary posting that has no official title, but any members wishing to be tasked with a specific role in the upcoming clean up are invite…
Space Marines in FLAMES
I think I have to apologise everyone on the site for my yesterday's actions. I intentionaly attacked against most of the fanon's Space Marine chapters. But before you take this as a complete apologise, let me explain my flaming.
This site is filled with seriously shitty articles. Articles, that have been left without any kind of attention, unfinished and most of them filled with spelling mistakes. Some of the articles I yesterday marked as "QualityIssue", were rendered completely unreadable by huge amount of spelling and/or grammatic mistakes. There are tons of articles that have just been left unfinished... with no intentions of ever making it complete, and I mean it. There are articles that are edited last time two, three or friggin' four…
Featured Article criterias
As we talked about featured articles (FA) criterias in chat, there seemed to be none so I thought, why not make a blog-post about possible criterias if the wikia could come up with some rules for FA in future. Now, it kinda sucks my sweaty balls.
Well, as I started to think about it, let's get in this first. What is canon in 40k fanon-wikia? TELL ME! We just got quite an argument if 2ndE Codex Imperialis is canon or not, as it is so old. Then again, you state in here, that White Dwarf articles are canon and as I'm aware, Books of Astronomican, Codex Imperialis and other 1st-3rd editions's books are just collection of White Dwarf articles. You say, that a story about Roboute Guilliman losing his limbs for 'Nids is non-canon because it is in som…
