A Fresh Start
Hello Algrim my old friend.... I've come to talk with yooooouuuu again :P

Good to see you again and even better to see your wiki making a good start. And hopefully I can find the time for more stuff. Reinventing a couple of my old articles, working on running two D&D games a week, and of course there's that pesky 9 - 5 that pays the bills, so time is limited haha. Hopefully I'll get some top-quality stuff out!

Cheers mate, IllumiNini (talk) 11:36, April 10, 2018 (UTC)

About changes to Sandbox
Hey Algrim thanks for the pic of the Marine(deleted on the other wiki) also thanks for organizing the Sandbox Also do you allow things in the 42nd milliennium?

Cheers The Last Flare 20:40, April 11, 2018 (UTC)

Infobox about events and battles
do i use the event infobox or may i make my own? as the event infobox doesn't contain much information

Also how do you get the link on your sig to work? as mine seems to have have disappeared

Just wondering The Last Flare 00:22, April 12, 2018 (UTC)

Thank you in advance

Infobox and Thanks
First off thanks for the help with my signature as it looks at lot better only though it seems only half the thing worked :(

Now for the info it is similar to a campagin but not at the same time time link is User:Icestormshadow/Sandbox2 Cheers Mate Icestormshadow, WH40K Alpha Wizard  (talk)  02:00, April 12, 2018 (UTC)
 * 1) Name of the Campagin
 * 2) Sides(like Black Legion, Blood Angels)
 * 3) Major Events
 * 4) Numbers of the Forces
 * 5) Notable People
 * 6) Results

About the wiki
It has been found by the main wiki, they posted a link on their discord linking to this wiki Also thanks for the infobox as it is much more detailed

Icestormshadow, WH40K Alpha Wizard  (talk)  12:20, April 12, 2018 (UTC)

PS: how i found this wiki was through Remos going to star wars fanon and found the link you sent to Primarch11

Thank You!
Thanks for linking me here, Algrim. I'll get to work moving the Novus Krakens to this wiki soon. Do you still have possession of the images you made for my chapter? I would love to have them again.

Thank you, again!

Zephrame (talk) 01:05, April 19, 2018 (UTC)

A Fresh Start
Thank you for creating this Wiki, Algrim. After what happened, I went and looked through the user pages of the leaders on the other wiki and I began to feel even more uncomfortable there than I already was. So thank you for creating a place where I think I know the admins well enough to not feel threatened or intimidated by them. Also, I began moving my articles here, starting with the Hammer Guard!

(On a side note, I have seen that they are going to be contacting wiki central because this wiki "makes use of our content without crediting us, which is in breach of wiki policy" I hope that they don't get this wiki taken down because it's doing the same job but friendlier.)

TireKhorne (talk) 03:54, April 19, 2018 (UTC)TireKhorne

Don't worry about it!
Don't worry about the images, I'm just glad that they still exist. I can wait until you get your computer situated. Thanks again for everything!

Zephrame (talk) 05:08, April 19, 2018 (UTC)

Nice Work!
Hey Algrim, nice work with the new wiki! I was going to ask if it's possible for me to post a few of my articles here as well, alongside the place (Anon's 40k Fanon) I'm currently active in, in order to improve cooperation and meet new faces. Have a good one and cheers!

R&U
Hey Algrim, I'm fine. Long time no talk, honestly. And for that, I totally understand. The wiki I'm writing on thankfully has no problems with that and I talked with them as well. Overall, I sense things will be good, hopefully they'll be lol. Regardless, I'm happy to be a part of this wiki as well. Thanks for the warm welcome and have a good day!

Art and thanks for the hard work
Hello Algrim ! I hope eveything is fine on your part. Life has been kind of hectic for me, but I've seen that you've corrected all my articles, man that was awesome ! I'll need to go and learn how to use the infoboxes and all in the future, but seeing you and your brother fixing all the articles so quickly was incredible.

Also, considering the quality of the art here, I was wondering if I could leech out some more work out of you for my Mourning Wardens. They feel kind of... poor, compared to the rest:p Let me now I you need some more informations or help (not that I know how I woul help but I can always try!).

Urthan (talk) 17:00, April 20, 2018 (UTC)

Mourning Wardens Artwork
Yeah, I finally got the time to delete the articles and all. For the Icon chapter, it's a white skull with a red tear coming out of its right eye, the same shade as the Astartes' armors, if it helps you.Their armors are also worn and cracked, adorned with a lot of seals of purity and other token of devotions made of scrap. Urthan (talk) 18:04, April 20, 2018 (UTC)

Re: Invitation
Appreciate the offer given, though I personally don't have any plans to be removing profiles from Fanon; but i'll be keeping a tab up on the activity of this wikia since a number of personal favorites are home to here and potentially more to come with its extended time active.

Luck with this community's future, until then. --AkuAkuAkuma (talk) 19:55, April 27, 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for the artwork
You never fail to impress, Algrim, and the Armorial+Tactical Marine for the Brazen Dragons was a pleasant surprise. Thank you, and I can't see what else you can make!

Quick question about location articles.
Just wanted to ask, are there any special restrictions on making a Sub-Sector? Are we allowed to make something like that? I have an old project that I was working on saved and was wondering if I could finish and post it here, but I didn't see anything of the type (granted, this is a new wiki)

My Articles
Hey Algrim,

As per Achilles' request, I'm just responding in regard to your question about my articles. No - I don't have them stored since I was going to either re-work them or not post them at all. Too many of my articles were sub-par or articles I no longer wanted and/or wanted to complete.

Unfortunately, this process is on my backburners since taking up a new job, focusing on D&D content, and at least trying to write all of the rules and guide articles for a D&D Homebrew Wiki I wish to (eventually) get off the ground.

TL;DR - New job, and D&D taking priority over my spare time :P

I'll keep you posted. Cheers mate! IllumiNini, Esq. (talk) 12:11, May 11, 2018 (UTC)

Article Ready for Review
I went and made the nesacerry changes that you requested, my article is ready for your review.--ChapterMasterRex (talk) 07:15, May 13, 2018 (UTC)

no issue, i am siting at work with out much to do, I apologize for the transgression, just remove the non-cannon compliancy template when you get the chance, thank you for your guidance and direction brother Algrim. --ChapterMasterRex (talk) 07:38, May 13, 2018 (UTC)

Recent Article
Dear Algrim Whitefang,

I was working on my article 'Sather Anomaly and during me working on it you posted the stub template and it erased everything that I had put in y edits for it which included near seventeen paragraphs and a conflict template. Is there any possible way to recover that work?

ChapterMasterRex (talk) 04:56, May 19, 2018 (UTC)

What the Heck?
They deleted almost ALL the pictures you made for me! Ordinators (talk) 00:25, May 20, 2018 (UTC)

WTF is going on?? :\  Ordinators (talk)!

I was so flattered that you took the time to do that for me (multiple times, too). Just curious, was that because you liked the fluff? Ordinators (talk) 00:25, May 20, 2018 (UTC)

My Pictures
Thanks, glad to hear from you again. However, I have an issue, while I was gone, the pictures you made for my Chapter, the Iron Blood, and my friend's the Chaustic Cherubim were deleted. If it's not too much trouble, can you send them again?

Ordinators (Talk), May 20, 2018

Thanks
Thanks in advance, I can't remember my friend's chapter icon, but for the Iron Blood, it was a gear, with a blood drop underneath it, on a black pauldron with silver/grey edges.

Also, thanks for all the advice.

SolZen321 (talk) 19:27, May 20, 2018 (UTC)

Black Devourers, Thanks
Thanks for the pictures for the Black Devourers.

SolZen321 (User talk:SolZen321|Talk) May 22, 2018

The Ordinators thank you!
Thank you so much for all your help in moving my lore over here! I can already tell the site culture is a lot less toxic, and I look forward to working with anyone reading this to collaborate on the development of our lore together. It's nice to be able to use your art, too. Ordinators (talk) 03:45, May 23, 2018 (UTC)

Old Lyran Guard Images
Hey, hey, Algrim! Saw you moved to this wiki after the purge on the old fanon one (I've since gone off to do my own thing as well between my friends and I). I was hoping you still had an archive of the Lyran Guard images you made for me last year? And if it was alright, I could also go ahead and start transferring all my old stuff to here as well? —ChibiPotatoes (talk) 05:27, May 23, 2018 (UTC)

Self-Plagiarism and Wikia
Interesting, I did not realize there was such a big problem regarding self-plagiarism in wikia. If that's the case, then, and I go ahead and delete the pages on the Warhammer 40K Fanon Wiki, I might just have to keep it all on my personal wiki project so as to avoid any particular issues. —ChibiPotatoes (talk) 12:10, May 23, 2018 (UTC)

Re: Don't Forget
Done. I know this wiki is brand new, but I did want to ask you about what you planned on doing for the rules? One of the big things about the other fanon wiki was its super strict adherence to to canon-friendliness (which I totally understood), but what will be your stance here on this wiki? I'm mostly asking to see whether or not my custom SOB Order could be on this wiki (not likely, but I figured it wouldn't hurt to ask). —ChibiPotatoes (talk) 14:52, May 24, 2018 (UTC)

Re: Canon Policy
Oh, interesting, that's pretty neat. Although, with that being said, is there any chance I could speak to you privately about it? It might fit, but I also don't want to clutter your talk page with my drivel. —ChibiPotatoes (talk) 19:46, May 24, 2018 (UTC)

Hello again!
Apologies for the delay!

I am glad to hear you still have the images, and I would love to see them!

IosifTheGreat (Talk) 12:14, 27 May 2018‎

Moving my articles!
I must say I was rather confused when I saw there was only one message in my Talk Page, and then I realized this was a whole new wiki!

I wouldn't wish to bother you to remake them! It's alright, I will wait until the images can be reached! I hope your PC gets better and the problems solved soon!

I will gladly migrate my article here, I will be doing it right now actually!

IosifTheGreat (Talk) 09:35, 30 May 2018‎

Request
You can go ahead and delete the other article, after what happened im not really in the mood to work on that right now, I may revisit it in the future.

ChapterMasterRex (Talk) 18:40, 30 May 2018‎

Chapter Badge
I hate to bother you, but is there any way the Hammer Guard could recieve a new chapter badge? I've been exploring the wiki as of late and their badge feels as if it doesn't compare to badges like the Astral Leviathans or Brazen Dragons (I love their badge by the way, amazing job). I know it would mean changing every image of them, and that may be too much to ask for, but I'd appreciate it. No matter the outcome, thank you.

Iron Blood Stories
So I've decided to start the stories for the Iron Blood chapter, but I'm not entirely certain, which templates to use, or the format for this. Do I just go with the Battle format, or is there another, for straight up stories?

SolZen321 (talk) 11:54 June 12, 2018

Hello
Hey Algrim, nothing much, been busy the last while, work, Uni, running other things like DnD and the like. I'm all good man just busy af. Haven't really had the inclination to writing anything so I've gotten lazy lol. I am hoping to get back into it when things settle down a bit. Zeph gm (talk) 05:00, June 15, 2018 (UTC)

Greetings
Uhh how do i change the name of a page? Also can i put the pictures from that space marine chapter i made back in the place they used to be? cuz i struggled wayyyyyy to much with those hecking pictures to position them. BattleBrotherserb (talk) 22:23, July 1, 2018 (UTC)

About the colour scheme and insignia
Thank you for reminding me. I completely forgot. Yes the helmet is a standard think for every space marine except the techmarine. And about the insignia. At first i wanted to make to random swords from russia pointing up but then i forgot about it. Could you please come up with something? I appreciate the help.

BattleBrotherserb (talk) 11:20, July 2, 2018 (UTC)

Let's Do It!
Brother Algrim, I would be absolutely thrilled to have you move my articles over. The other page you have quite rightly put, has gone to the Draconian dogs. You may take every scrap of my material off there and place in here. and you know what, I'll take you up on that Discord server. I am getting slowly back into writing again now, hoping to continue the momentum and keep building up. currently writing a lot of stuff for my DnD game but branching out as well. I look forward to being a full-fledged member of your brand spanking new page.

Zeph gm (talk) 17:16, July 2, 2018 (UTC)

I Did It
Hey Algrim, put up

on the top of all my pages like you said. though I'm not sure if it worked properly as it just appeared at text rather than a macro or effect. Still, it's done. I expect they will be gone soon. Discord name is Nihilistic Kriegsman.

Zeph gm (talk) 11:31, July 3, 2018 (UTC)

Image Policy?
Hey Algrim, quick question brother what are the rules surrounding the art we can place on here? I know Remos had some pretty strict rules concerning that shit but I know this place is less nuts. I just dont want to cause any issues for you or the page so are there any rules I should be aware of?

Zeph gm (talk) 02:50, July 11, 2018 (UTC)

Couple Questions
Hey Algrim, I'm going to be doing some work on my current Chapter today as well as start a couple of new ideas that I need your approval/opinion on:

(1) I want to start a Chapter of unknown Gene-Seed that has the "Blood Ravens" syndrome: Unknown Gene-Seed with suspicions of being from a Traitor Gene-Stock, specifically Iron Warriors in the case kf the idea I have. Is this OK? Or is it an idea best avoided?

(2) I like the idea of a Chapter of the Word Bearers remaining loyal to the Emperor and their fate post-Heresy being unknown (through extreme secrecy or genuine loss of knowledge). Is this an idea I may persue?

Cheers, IllumiNini, Esq. (talk) 01:20, July 21, 2018 (UTC)

Hey Algrim, Cheers for the feedback! I started on my second idea, coming up with the initial basis for the Sermo Invictous Chapter. The idea is that they were at the very least no longer loyal to Lorgar after the Second Purge, and that their fate after the HH is - though secrecy or loss of knowledge - completely unknown. I hope it's OK so far. Let me know if there are any problems!

Cheers, IllumiNini, Esq. (talk) 04:30, July 21, 2018 (UTC)

Sermo Invitous Chapter
Hey Algrim, thanks for the little update with regards to the Infobx and Categories - I appreciate it :) Now - I've done an edit and added a short but decent amount of material to the Sermo Invitous Chapter that I was hoping you could have a look at when you have the time. I want to make sure I'm moving in a direction you approve of before I add more otherwise it'd just be a waste.

Also - if this Chapter is to exist after the Horus Heresy in a "Loyal Form", would it be better to have a separate article? Or would it be better to have it all on the same page?

Cheers! I appreciate your help as always! IllumiNini, Esq. (talk) 13:19, July 21, 2018 (UTC)

About the Worthless Survivalists
Hey, mind seeing to the Worthless Survivalists and figuring out exactly why that "retrieved from" thing appears and, if you can, remove it? It seems to prevent the wiki activity from showing up on the side and that really bothers me. You can do anything you want to the page as long as the lore remains intact.

Thank you in advance

Pudis420 (talk) 12:38, July 24, 2018 (UTC)

Well Met
Hail Algrim old friend. I hope you've been well! I have a few questions and things to ask you whenever convenient, yet a talk page seems the opposite for that ;P Let me know if there's a time and place that works better!

As always, your old friend Phoenix.

About the Siege of Sub-Sector Solaritus Article
Greetings Algrim, I just wanted to ask you about something. I was in the process of creating the article and I noticed you recently made it. I was wondering if you could take a look at in my sandbox and see if it's too much detail, and if I could perhaps edit the article? If not that'd be perfectly fine, I know I tend to... vomit words all over the article and that may be too much detail for the campaign. Either way, thank you for making the article!

Question
Is there any policy against using miniatures in images? I'm starting here by making a page for a Chaos Warband, and I have some miniatures painted in their color scheme. Could I use those photos on their page?

Zombiejiger (talk) 02:00, August 24, 2018 (UTC)

Message for you on Discord
Hi Algrim!

I left you a message in Discord about three issues ;)

Chapter Master Lord Eledan 13:18, August 26, 2018 (UTC)

You've been making a lot, huh?
Hey Algrim, I know I haven't been very active at all recently but I noticed that you've created articles that are within the realm of my homebrew. I'm sure you don't mean to lay claim to them, but the first feeling I got from seeing the ownership tag have your name in it was that you were insinuating that it was your property. So I basically just wanted to see if I could lay claim to what is rightfully my property and begin expanding on it. Again, I'm sure you mean no harm by it but humans are irrational creatures so I thought I should share my feelings on it. Thank you!

Zephrame (talk) 00:29, August 28, 2018 (UTC)

Thank you!
Thanks for getting back to me so fast. Yeah I figured that you didn't mean any slight with it but I still felt like I had to check in. Thank you and have a great day!

Jiangshi Riders Shoulderpad
Hey Algrim! I've actually been thinking about the shoulderpad lately myself. Unfortunately, I haven't come up with a lot of good ideas for it. The only thing I have been thinking of is a skull with an open mouth, but I wouldn't know what to put in the mouth or why a skull in particular, but it's still an idea. I hope I helped at least a little, and thank you for the artwork!

Thanks a lot
Hey algrim I just wanna thank you for fixing up my chapter's page. Sorry if I left a mess with the first writing (I clearly need more time practising in the sandbox). I will surely try to expand the lore in the future. P. S. The artwork is simply awesome! --Andrea Andolina (talk) 05:36, September 19, 2018 (UTC)--

Art Tutorial Videos
Hello Algrim, I thank you for getting back to me on the message i left you on the other wikia forum last week, and sorry i did not get back to you sooner since i only just saw the email in my register (as the email i gave you was my student email). It is a pity that you are unable to offer one-to-one tutorials on your artist work but i would most definitely still be interested in those tutorial videos you use for making your designs.

Since again i may not see this message, feel free to use the email address i gave you or use my discord account detail i'll leave here. Thank you once again for responding and may the emperor smile upon you, honourable brother.

Warstalkers Article
Hello,

Fixed it and added some stuff, will be adding more. I have had a lot of stuff about my chapter for a few months now and wanted to make sure that the name and color scheme for said name were out there before someone else had a similar idea. Sorry if I rushed things but it was a REALLY spur of the moment decision after a friend posted a link to the wiki.

Tahkos, (Talk) 25 Sept 2018

Hey Algrim,

I have made a lot of progress on my chapter and have even used the template you have given me (which I appreciate), but there is one thing that I don't think I can in my heart of hearts change. The entire point of my chapter is that they are Luna Wolves, not successors of the sons of Horus, not a chapter created from Horus's Gene Seed, but Luna Wolves. I have gone out of my way for over 6 months now to create lore for them and to make them as feasible as possible. The Luna Wolves are the real reason I fell in love with 40k/30k and are the only legion i have ever really liked.

So my chapter is made around the principal that they were forgotten because the heresy happened and left them alone in a part of the galaxy no other imperial forces ever ventured to. They did not utilize traitor gene-seed because of a convoluted scheme in some odd founding, they inherited it from loyalist elements. It works. If you and the others on this wiki are truly that dead-set on saying that it is too implausible for such a thing to happen I understand.

I can leave the history barebones for y'all, but know that it changes little to nothing of the stuff I came up for them over the course of the year, this wasn't made for other people it was made for me. Their chapter is a tragic one, dead-set on preserving what their primarch attempted to destroy in an area forgotten by the Imperium, never asking for glory or recognition.

So while I will leave some of the stuff alone I will write out their chapters history for me as I want to have it written down for now. If people REALLY want it gone then I will take it and put it in a word document. The reason i want this page to be here is that these guys are my heart and soul and I don't want someone taking the name and credit for the name on the internet before I do.

Ardent Swords article
Thanks for all the tips and help so far Algrim. Any advice on how best to apply the disclaimer to all images in an article after they've been added? Also the Images Policy mentions a licensing template but I can't find it in the list of templates, does it have a more specific name?

OldKingCole77 (talk) 04:08, September 29, 2018 (UTC)

The current project that i'm undertaking is my Star Wardens chapter(Star Wars pun not intended) and instead of transferring my work from the Fanon wiki i've decided to rewrite since i feel that will lead to a higher quality of work. The things that i need help with at this time is Artwork, i'd love to be able to get some shoulder artwork and images of them before and after they were remade into a primaris chapter. The other things are just some help creating the order of battle tables and as always insightful feedback from the community to ensure my work is a great as possible. Thank you for your time Algrim, always a pleasure.

Ash Scorpions
Hey Algrim,

I got your message and i will of course wait until until you message saying everything has been transferred before i request the delete. i see achilles has already transferred 2 chapters over, and the new artwork on the Ash Scorpions page looks great, i dont think i have seen that before but if i have i forgot so it was a nice surprise. thanks mike
