Blog Entries: 1 | 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! ![]()

Blog Entries: 1 | 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.

Blog Entries: 1 | 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. |

Blog Entries: 1 | Yep, same here. The fluff bible is good, but it'd be nice to have some official GW material to work off of.
