Go to the Black Library and check out the new IG field manual ! Very interesting ... I've seen similar books in the "real" world. Looks like G/W's BL got the idea from the world's militaries. Appears to be very USSR/ Big Brother-ish. Only $20.00 US. I still have a little problem with G/W's fluff that is all wrapped around this gothic/fanatic/religious/cult stuff. I'd prefer just hard-corps Sci-fi ... but the book says it all, I think. Worth a look !

What would 40k fluff be without the 'gothicness' though...?

*Shots down something that seemed _too_ shinny, happy and childcaring in the fluff, substitutes it for something dark and depressing and polishes his badge as well*
Ah, the wonders of a dark universe without manga warriors... wait, there are manga warriors around! Oh man, that didn't happen in the days of good ol' Horus and Alpharius....

Hi!
Gw's fluff isn't so bad, over done, but pretty good.
A nice compliment from the "anti-fanboy".

Looks promising. But after the Battle for Armageddon fiasco I am more than a little sceptical about this one.

Well, in fact I am more a "gothic liker" than a fanboy, but hey. For a start I always think ogf the marine chapters as being 12k strong or so, not a mere 1k and I also think that there are more rogue areas than most people is willing to swallow around. But I still prefer gothic over shinny and clean
Cheers,
Xavi

Yes Mojarn, it does look interesting, but not enough for me to buy it ! ? ?As for you FBs, Horus, Alpharius, etc. are "Choirboys" in my mind ! ? ?"The Darkside just got darker !" ? ? Anyway, I like dark, dirty and gritty in Sci-fi, I just think G/W's concepts, much based on religious fanaticism, the Dark Ages, etc. are a bit over the top and somewhat illogical ... but that's my opinion ... it really means nothing. ? So I'm a heretic ... again ! ? ? And Xavi, I agree with you, with the fluff and huge battles that they talk about, a 1000 SMs wouldn't last very long ! ?So we all take the good, the bad and the ugly of the G/W fluff in our own way ...
