Hi folks. I've decided something. Anyone else have a friend out there who "thinks" they know about Warhammer 40K. You know the type I mean, the ones who get ALL of their info from 1d4chan and tropes, but has never once touched a rulebook or a codex in their life? I know a few like them, and I'm sure you do too! SO! It's time we create a name for these people! Give me your best ones rofl, we need a specific title for them!
.. Please bear the rules with regards to language and the like for the site please.
Thank you.

We love our superheroes because they refuse to give up on us. We can analyze them out of existence, kill them, ban them, mock them, and still they return, patiently reminding us of who we are and what we wish we could be.

Amateurs? Disciples of Misinformation? Flanderizers? The Uninitiated?
I like the Uninitiated.
(EDIT: Brief explanation: Most of these people I know tend to take minor characteristics and blow them vastly out of proportion, like those who believe that the Orks' gestalt psychic field is so powerful that if you tell an Ork a stick is a gun he can make it fire bullets, despite the fact that actual background says that an Ork gun is just a plan, ordinary, shoddily-made gun that misfires less than you'd expect when an Ork uses it instead of something that could never work at all without the Ork)

Which changes from edition to edition, some of the older editions had the possibility that it WOULD work that way, same as ork warbands gaining chaos marks and mutations from the gods they worship.
To put it simply, it's canon is in serious flux (Just like the Ork Gestalt field )
The centre of a massive brood chamber, heaving and pulsating.
/b/tards mostly.
I wouldn't say "Tropers" is really fair, considering that most Tropers (people who actually contribute to TV Tropes) who worked on the 40K section understand it perfectly well, but just made it easy to understand. Just reading TV Tropes doesn't make you a Troper.

Mostly, it means You. That's right, You. Time Magazine's person of the year, 2006. Anybody who has a page here, and many people who don't.
According to them it means everyone who reads/does anything.
Newbs-flash!
...because everything they come out with is HOT OFF THE PRESS LIKE I SWEAR I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU GUYS HAVEN'T HEARD YET. Da Emprah is really Gork and Mork in disguise...!
