Chaos most clearly comes from Michael Moorcock's novels though, where an army of warriors bearing eight-pointed stars on their shields attack a world. Everywhere these Chaos Warriors go, things start to warp and mutate...

Certainly. And 40k keeps that, but then goes down the Paradise Lost Road

The Imperium is Heaven and Earth in one. The Warp is Chaos and the eye of terror is hell, guarded by angels. The Horus Heresy, obviously the civil war in heaven.

It is better to rule in hell than serve in heaven....

History - and various religious sources - also play a pretty huge role in the universe. Priestley (and probably the others) were very much historians/historical gamers, too.

Oh and btw. Tolkien's Silmarillion is heavily influenced by the exact same poem. Indeed Tolkien originally wanted to write it in poetic form. Anyway This is why we have not one, but two Wars in Heaven in the 40k universe!

A french epic player, inspired by this bad news, has realised this parody :)

Subtitles are in french but maybe you could understand part of them ;)

40K fluff is basically a hi-tech version of WWII melded with LoTR ... :)  It's Fantasy ... it's Sci-fi ... it's everything to every Man ... :laugh:  I (am)was a history Buff/Gamer that also likes Sci-fi ...  I like Hammer's Slammers and Stargate fluff light years more then the 40K storyline.    However, the appeal of Sci-fi gaming to me, is you don't have to be political or polemical ... or a Nazi, Jap, Commie, etc.  You can be a Human, abhuman, a variety of aliens, Bugs, Robots, etc., etc. ... :alien:   And still study history and watch the Sci-fi Channel !  :laugh:   And wantonly slaughter any one who comes in range ... :vD

The technology is sci-fi-WWII, it least in terms of most warmachines. But the background is medieval, with as I said before tolkien bolted on.

But as you say, the influences are so many it's just about everything to a certain degree.

Got my replacement parts yesterday. All complete except reaver titan. Again Reaver 2 was packed in a reaver 1 bag.

Have sent FW an email with pictures and rang them this morning. They are now checking all existing stock of reavers for mispacks.

If this means I get another reaver (2 and counting) with hopefully correct armaments I will be grateful.

Got the first chunk of my order last night, 6 bags of heavy flamer chimeras since the standard version was already sold out. Out of 18 chimeras, over half had the multilasers at the back snapped off in various numbers. I was able to fix all but 6 and I've decided to cut the remaining guns off two of those to use as command variants. FW said they were out but would be casting up replacements so it might take a couple of weeks. Now to go about converting the heavy flamer to a multilaser.

It will probably take another few weeks for my order to reach me in Canada, but I am curious to see what I actually receive. I ordered a Reaver, too, and while FW are generally good when you call to get something corrected, the shipping time (for whatever reason) makes it a laborious process, especially if they have to cast up a replacement for anything.

I am really not sure why I can receive something from Maelstrom games in a week, but from FW it takes a month. If I have to get anything re-done, I may have inadvertently purchased my Xmas present in June!  :tongue:

Order arrived in full yesterday- baneblades, tau recon, skyrays, various hammerheads and wave serpents all present and correct, all with very very clear detail and no miscasts.

I was sent the mispacked Reaver 3 times earlier in the year, even after several photos and emails (which they even replied to..  :sus: ) so I wouldn't hold your breath on getting the right one.

There is obviously something wrong with the Rocket Launcer Reaver and they aren't interested in fixing it.

That's slightly encouraging about the Chimeras.  I placed my order on May 25th and have yet to receive them, heavy flamer or otherwise.  I may have to give in and give them a call...

I got the second package today too, lucius pattern Baneblades, the censorum building and a ruined librarium. Just missing the hydras and two administratum buildings now.

Simon was actually very helpful in this regard. He said someone is chacking all stock reavers. It seems that the sticker for reaver 1 has been placed on all reaver 2 bags.

Lets hope, if not I got 2 support reavers to help my legio.
