Subject: Pilau spreads the love - 40k Fluff Links
|

Alluring Sorcerer of Slaanesh

Well guys and girls, seeing as it is Valentines day, I thought I would spread some love and maybe encourage you to do the same. Now, I love my 40k fluff and have stumbled over some good sites over my journeys through the interwarp and would like to share them with you. If you have any then please, gimme some sugar!
First off we have gamehobby.net. I thought this beauty had disappeared but no, she's back and she's sexier than ever. An excellent source for older White Dwarfs and game systems like Space Fleet, yes Space Fleet!
http://web.archive.org/web/20120702034423/http://www.gamehobby.net/
Next we have the Gamesworkshop website before they turned it into a catelogue. Just a much better one with numerous articles on modelling, painting and background. Why GW have done away with this format beggars belief and is quite sad.
http://web.archive.org/web/20080419150022/http://uk.games-workshop.com/default.aspx
This site doesn't include the most recent books but is a good attempt at putting those that were available at the time into some form of chronological order
http://www.freewebs.com/mechanicus/noveltimeline.htm
Valentines day wouldn't be complete without tentacle so here you have the Slaanesh wiki, for all your Slaaneshi needs. This link takes you to the story of Mirael Sabathial, my home girl.
http://emperorschildren.net/wiki/index.php?title=Characters:Mirial_Sabathial:THE_INVITATION
The original Bill King Siege of Terra stories can be found here.
http://members.tripod.com/orcrist_game/40k/id3.html
Now we have a link to not just Warhammer, but various other miniature makers and their ranges, I like browsing through this and going ooh I have that one, and that one, but I want that one.
http://www.solegends.com/index.htm
Philip Sibberings page is an excellent source of information even if a lot if it is fanfiction. He's attempted to put together the 1000 Chapters of the Astartes and lists these, or the number he has on his site.
http://www.philipsibbering.com/wh40k/01-dark-age.shtml
A link to the Journal of Keeper Cripias from the 2nd Edition Rulebook. It's not much but it tells us a lot, what more does this dude know?
http://ifearnoevil.tripod.com/warhammer/journal.htm
This is probably my favorite one. Heard of the Index Astartes articles, want to read them? Well here you go, who's looking out for you baby?!
http://redelf.naxx.ru/w40k_rules.html
A source for all things Alpha Legion, I'm not a member myself but this one thread is impressive.
http://z15.invisionfree.com/Alpha_Legion_Forums/index.php?showtopic=766
Want a map of the 40k planets, well here you go.
http://wh40ka.ucoz.ru/SpaceMap/SpaceMap.html
Not quite up to date but a very good job at a timeline. It includes some fan interpretation but is awesome none the less.
http://www.scholaprogenium.com/timeline.html#ss
Want to know the link between 40k and the Liber Chaotica books, well here are words from the author himself
http://www.warseer.com/forums/showthread.php?45416-Warhammer-Cross-Over-Fluff&p=871142#post871142
Finally we have this cartoon gem, I've actually smiled all the way through reading it.
http://www.servantsoftheimperium.com/comic.php?comicid=186
The Black Library Bolthole, for all things Black Library and some very decent fan fiction.
http://www.thebolthole.org/
This is Lexicanum which a very good and comprehensive 40k Wiki site. Pretty accurate.
http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Warhammer_40,000#.US3iAvWoaSo
If you like fanfiction with your official stuff then the Warhammer 40k Wiki is your place. However, if you want accuracy, use Lexicanum
http://warhammer40k.wikia.com/wiki/Warhammer_40k_Wiki
And I am spent ... how was it for you ...

Holy crap! I've been looking for that map everywhere! I couldn't find it anywhere! Good man Pilau!
It's a little bit at-odds with the latest 40K maps, but for the planets they don't cover, it's great.

"As I recall, your face was tortured. Imagine that - the Master of the Wolves, his ferocity twisted into grief. And yet you still carried out your duty. You always did what was asked of you. So loyal. So tenacious. Truly you were the attack dog of the Emperor. You took no pleasure in what you did. I knew that then, and I know it now. But all things change, my brother. I'm not the same as I was, and you're... well, let us not mention where you are now."

Thank You Dave, glad to be of assistance.
You should have a look at the map on the Schola Progenium site

Oh sweet, more 40k comics!
Just to be nice, you should include TSOALR and Wobbly Model Syndrome in case other people don't read them.

ADB: I showed the Wolves revealing the key weakness at the heart of the World Eaters; showing Angron that his Legion was broken and worthless compared to the others; that he was the one primarch who couldn't trust his own warriors, and that they didn't care if he lived or died; showing that loyalty to brothers and sons is the heart of success for the Legiones Astartes, to the point even Lorgar makes a big deal out of saying the World Eaters and their primarch were massively outclassed by Russ, and Angron was too stupid to see the lesson Russ had sacrificed time, sweat, and blood, to teach. We're talking about a battle the Wolves won, by isolating the enemy general through pack tactics, and threatening to kill him, without a hope of defending himself. It was a balance, 50/50 - Angron overpowered Russ, and the Wolves were losing ground to the World Eaters; but Russ and his warriors had Angron by the balls, and barely broke a sweat. They won, no question. Lorgar even says: "The Wolves won, meathead."
Dorn won’t help you either. He’s too busy being the Emperor’s groundskeeper, hiding behind the palace walls. The Wolf is too busy cutting off heads as our father’s executioner, while the Lion holds on to his secrets, and has no special fondness for you. Who else will come? Not Ferrus, certainly. Nor Corax either. Even as we speak, I suspect he flees for Deliverance. Sanguinius?’ Curze laughed cruelly. ‘The angel is more cursed than I. The Khan? He does not wish to be found. So who is left? No one, Vulkan. None of them will come. You are simply not that important. You are alone.’ Konrad Curze to Vulkan

I am and I feel honoured. Thanks to all who have exalted it, I hope the links prove useful.
Do you think I should add like, Lexicanum etc to it? The links I have put up are a bit more unknown and stuff.
