Hey guys

Im in a bit of a pickle.

Im organizing a 40k tournament at this very moment and tomorrow I need to have a quiz ready. Im terrible with background and lore so I was wondering if anyone had a quiz lying around that I could borrow?

The past years I've "had a guy" do them for me but he couldn't do it this year :(

I could maybe help with this it would depend on how long and how hard you want it (and yes I am aware that is what she said)

You could just go with the good old question of name all loyalist primarchs and their respective legions. Or what happens to eldar when they die. Or how many black crusades are there. Or what clan is ghazzy from. Or have a game of 'whos that mini'. The list goes on.
