I am a avid listener to the IC podcast and I was thinking of having discussions on their last show topic.

In this episode they talked about making fluff for your army in a narrative. They talked about their armies and the backstories for each. They encouraged a good back story, for example space marines all have a primarch, so if you have a custom sm force, what was its original chapter, when did they split, what past battles gave them history.

When I listen to them I knew exactly of where my space marine chapter originated from and what they have done in the past.

What about you guys, did this happen for you

I think most people have a narrative in mind for their army...
Many people have DIY fluff.
It's one of the better features of 40k...
