Hope you have fun finding the answers as i had creating the questions.... though i may have too much time on my hands.
Oh BTW I didn't bother with a scoring system; did this just for the sake of it. If you want one, I'll let one of you come up with it and hopefully continue the quizzes.

They did one of these on Portent awhile ago...but this one is far far better.

Hi!

Dang, I only know one, reaver variants, Hun and goth.

The rest are too new for me to know.

To address the balance and give some real OLD trivia, here's some more questions:

1. What are "psych-out" grenades made of?

2. The true origins of the Emperor?

3. First chaos god to be born?

4. Name of the largest battle during the horus heresy?

5. Name of the frigate that escaped with loyalists to warn the emperor of horus's treason?

6. What was the name of the elders where Horus was possessed?

Oh I remembered the adjutant's name is Bejaind.

L4,
    I guesses I missed the Vandal variant, don't have WD 109

Primarch,
    Most of this is early fluff. I know 3,5 and 6 but 4 I'm not
    to sure.

I know the answers to some of these questions and where to find the answers to most of the others, but I'm too indifferent to GW to do so.

Shalom,
Maksim-Smelchak.

No problem Centurion, I'm so "old school" it's rumored I knew the Emperor when he was just a SGT !!! :laugh:  I thought the same thing Maksim, I remember seeing something about most of these questions, but I'm too busy (read = lazy !) to do the research ! :;):

Actually I quite like the fluff and doing stuff like this.

Its GW the Company and its policies I'm indifferent to, but I like the background and (most) of its development.  If I didnt I'd be using Epic minis to play Dirtside or something similar.

Just my Aus$0.02 worth...
