Greetings, I am eventhorizonx, lurker of the DakkaDakka forums. Because of the insightful nature of many of the members of this forum, I thought you might be interested in a new project, which hopes to expand the 40k universe and is completely fan-made.

As you are probably unaware of, the recent 40k Expansion Project Warhammer 40,000: Endgame has embarked upon a recruiting drive.

However, prior to extrapolating upon the details pertaining to recruitment itself, I will probably need to explain what 40k Endgame itself. Basically, it's an overall 40k expansion project started on the Tabletop Fora of Relic Entertainment's official website. In essence, it intends to create fairly apocalyptic "Endgame" general setting for the 40k universe based off of the finale and endgame scenarios that have been implied or stated by GWI for the multitude of races within Warhammer 40,000 (the Emperor reborn, Ynnead, the Void Dragon awakens and the Outsider arises, etc.). However, we don't plan to be overdoing it to the extent that the endgames will essentially result in the instant annihilation of a race. The Emperor's rebirth will create civil strife and war in the Imperium as various factions contest his rule and validity, the C'tan will awaken famished and comparitively weak, Ynnead won't obliterate Slaanesh and will instead merely prevent the Prince of Pleasure from gobbling up every uncontained fallen Eldar Soul, etc. The project seeks a balance between the numerous different endgames to create a new and compelling progression of the 40k universe.

The project itself is a massive undertaking, requiring volumes of new fluff, rebalanced or modified rules, new units, new equipment and armaments, new balance decisions and game modes, new artwork, new models and modelling guides (primarily examples for novel or modified units so that those who ultimately utilize Endgame will have a basis to convert models to replicate what endgame adds), and overall a modified general universe and ruleset. We've already got many aspects of basic infrastructure, endgame summaries, project management, and a couple of new rules, consistencies, and units down, but we will need more members to properly flesh out, establish, and concrete the project.

Hence, we have resolved to engage in a recruiting drive from a multitude of different 40k-related or prevalent forums, including WarSeer, CoolMiniorNot, 40k Online, Librarium Online, DakkaDakka, and numerous others, and Bolter & Chainsword (who have already graciously agreed). Whilst we have some Marine and Imperial experts/fluffists alreayd present on the forums, we are in need of many, many more for the Imperial project is among the largest in Endgame.

Chaos is still in the early stages of development, and will need plenty of people to help build it up, especially since there have been so many different Endgame proposals and modifications to it of late.

Then of course, everyone's welcome to interact with any and every race they wish to work on or become involved with, and every race captain is willing to embrace or aid new project members and ideas.

You don't need to be a fluff-nazi or rules-expert to join. If you know a bit about a certain chapter or are just a general enthusiast, you are just as welcome to participate and your ideas just as welcome as those of an expert or master at 40k. Now, everything will be assessed for fluff veracity or rules/balance viability, but everyone is welcome to provide their ideas, input, and dreams.

I saw this over at relic, but now that I see that chaos needs fluff help, I'm in.

The link is broken! Da link is broke!

I have always been interested in something like this.  About three years ago I started a huge post about how I believed the emperor needed to have the "plug" pulled so that his mortal body could die and his spirit could be released to rise again.  It was a fun thread on the old Dakkadakka and a lot of people got involved.  I would love to throw some of my theories on whats going on with the emperor, the imperium and the high lords of terra into the mix!  Plz fix that link so I can sign up
