I have a book.

Said book will have these things called "pages", and if there's a unit I have particular trouble remembering or is different to the rest of the units on the field? A sticky note is affixed to the page with a note of the unit in question.

Amateur!

I've known a few amateurs who know what they're doing better than some professionals. The only difference is one is not paid for it and one is.

A while back, in 6th Edition I think it was, I started making my own cards for quick reference and even included a spot to keep track of Wounds and Hull Points with weapon references planned to be on the back. I even included cards for the Chapter Traits and Missions as well. I sized them to be about the same size as face cards and could fit 9 on to a Letter-sized piece of paper (about 22cm x 28cm). They are incredibly outdated at this point, but I enjoyed the challenge of creating them. I think I did some updates for the 7th Edition codex, but I can't remember off hand.
