But I have to say if I hadn't played Epic back in the 90s I'd have been totally lost by the different Titan classes, the different ranks for crew and other details.

I wonder, could the BL include a glossary or even better pictures of the different titan classes in a book like this? Other IG books would benefit as well from artwork showing the different tank types and other information. It could be simple B&W line drawings like the maps we usually get, nothing fancy.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/284003/1407368.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/284003/1407368.page GMT
would it look good - defo

will they do it - proberbly not

although some of the books i have read do have small sections of description in the back of the book but thats mainly for the slang

its like when a commi enters a book they describe his appearence but they never really let you know how a commi should act unless you already know

there are books i've read and loved but when i lend them to my brother who does not play(or know anything about 40k) he really does not get them]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/284003/1407516.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/284003/1407516.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/284003/1408981.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/284003/1408981.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/284003/1408987.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/284003/1408987.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/284003/1410267.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/284003/1410267.page GMT 40K encyclopedia, especially if it was written in-universe that covered different vehicles, weapons, and organizations/factions.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/284003/1410312.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/284003/1410312.page GMT
However, in the HH novels and their HUGE array of characters I found the Dramatis Personae at the start really helpful.

If anything, Titanicus could have benefitted from this. I didn't get confused by the terminology and Titan classes, but remembering which titan/princeps/moderati/storyline went together each time got a bit much...!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/284003/1411521.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/284003/1411521.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/284003/1414452.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/284003/1414452.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/284003/1414469.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/284003/1414469.page GMT
Actually, Fantasy can sometimes be worse - they will introduce wierd stuff all over the place without really introducing the concepts or characters at all.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/284003/1414621.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/284003/1414621.page GMT http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Main_Page is essentially a 40k encyclopedia. I use it a lot when I need to know. Half the battle, and all that.

I would put out for a big official 40k dictionary with new artwork and the like as well. Just so long as Blanche isn't allowed more than 10% of the pictures.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/284003/1416862.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/284003/1416862.page GMT
