Default The Armoury

I wanted to start a thread dealing with the armour and weapons of 40k. I have recently been doing a little research on the prehersey armour of SM, and it is a fascinating subject. Now, I need your help. Any pics or info on the weapons and armour of ANY 40k race would be helpful indeed. I'd like to concentrate on SM right now, but any help would be appreciated greatly. Now I gotta figure out how I'm gonna organize this, as it could be a very complex undertaking! I've seen a few threads like this in other forums, but I want ours to be the best, so I'll need alot of help! For Terra!

Excellent! Thanks LC. Now, will I get in trouble if I post pics from other website like Wiki or other forums?

Wargear has very little fluff.

Oh, yes. Glabbaglogabdog!! Sorry, I get very excited when I see projects like this. I'd be happy to lend a hand. If you want, I'll take information from guys like Erus and shape it into an article for each race, if you like.

I have the .pdf version of the fluff bible, which contains a large section of the arms and armaments(among many other things) of the Space Marines. But then again so do Erus, Steve, and many others.

Yep, same here. The fluff bible is good, but it'd be nice to have some official GW material to work off of.

Sure thing, I'll need all the help I can get. We'll also need good pics of every weapon and armour type. Holy cow, what have I done?

I really don't mind what the source is, as long as it's accurate.

Right... I'll grab the wargear book and look through it next I see Wolfie... And i'll scan in relevant pages of the munitorium for review on Wenesday., The stabilized my schedule finally. I work Mornings on Saturday and Sunday, close on Monday and Tuesday, then off Wednesday-Friday. So, i'll have this as my project on Weds.

Extremely glad to have your help, LC. This will probably be a massive undertaking, but I believe we can have the best one around!
