Hey Algrim, I'm pretty excited about joining this wiki! I'm going to be working on my homebrew entries for Squats. May I please use the infobox you made for your Ironbeards as a basis? Also, I would like to discuss with you maybe reorganizing the homebrew lore on Squats so that a unified Squats homebrew page may exist, separate or in addition to the current Squat page? I rather like the content you have created and wanted to collaborate on an overall Squat lore page.

Art Request
Greetings Wolf Lord, I know you provide art for people, I appreciate the picture of my planet, but I'm not sure if you also do images for the Imperial Guard. If so, I was wondering if you would be willing to do a basic uniform image for my Regiments. I've done a badge/logo for their world and put it on the article, but that exhausts my meager skills.

If you are will, the Heb use basic Cadian pattern armor with the helmet and pads in dark cyprus green/blue (R 2, G 38, B 53) over camo with a base that's chicago gray (R 87, G 92, B 77) with egyptian blue spots (R 87, G 92, B 77). Weapons and belts are black and the imperialis is gold.

In ''His' glorious name,

Hey Algrim, its me Sparkee23. I was looking over your Imperius Ravagers article and was wondering if I could list them as an ally of my Blades of Elysium Chapter, a mailed (or in this case, spiked) gauntlet to my Chapter's relative velvet glove. IT never hurts to have allies in the Imperium.

Sorry
Greetings Algrim,

Sorry for the messed up Grey Wolves article, i will rectify its background lore asap to better fit the canon universe. Spelling wise it was late at night and i was getting tired lol but ill be more thorough.

EDIT: i have redone the page to better fit the canon & am ready for a review at your convienience.

Sezrion (talk) 19:39, May 15, 2019 (UTC)

Hello
Thank you for changing the format, I did read the articles on policy and how to set up an article before I posted my current one,  but I became a little confused as to how to utilize the sandbox due to the coding aspect, and I was afraid of getting the coding wrong and the page would not load. I had intended to change it to sandbox a t a later date after I had laid down the basic framework for my article. Hopefully for future articles this I will be able to get this correct and I will attempt to utilise  the sandbox layout for future articles once I finish this one as I have ideas to represent other ancient earth cultures as chapters in the future such Polish Hussars, Babylonian/ Summeria, Maori, Chinese etc as well as expand on the Withered Hands Chaos marines I mention in my current article.

I would also like to ask on the subject how policies affect other races from what I read the policies and guidelines mainly affected the formation space marine chapters or other human branches of the imperium such as the Sisters of battle or the Imperial guard or their chaos counterparts (seeing as those have the most articles. I know that it says to refer to the warhammer wiki to try and maintain continuity but are their major guidelines for the Necrons, Eldar, Orks, Tau, Tyranids and other xenos races? I know to try and avoid major canon breaking rules but I would like to have a better understanding of  what I can and cannot do for other races. For example I would like to expand on my Necron Wendigo as an early Necron unit used in the height of the Necron Empires that consumes organic matter to power itself and to transfer energy back to necron tomb worlds to help power them.

Also I would like to know rules on chaos gods I see a Tab for gods but there are no articles. I do have an idea for a Chaos god of greed and envy, and while greed would most likely fall to Slaanesh, I would argue that Slaanesh's greed is more in the sense of excess Slaanesh has no real desire for Tzeentch's secrets or Nurgles Plagues unless they accentuate the feelings slaanesh desires. This god would embody greed in it's fullness it want's everything souls, materials, thoughts and ideas for itself including the aspects and abilities of other gods. It represents the all consuming need for life in the universe to accumulate more based on it's desire to survive and feel whole. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Brother Rada (talk) 21:26, May 19, 2019 (UTC) Brother Rada

Thanks
Thank you for the feedback and clarification, I was intending on using the alien codexs as reference points it's just that Imperial armies have more rules that could be violated such as foundings and army composition as opposed to orks which while they do have basic guidelines can pretty much do whatever the hell they want cause if enough of them believe it, it will happen. So I just wanted to know for future reference any major standing ideas that would have been frowned upon.

Also would it be preferable to write a history in word then copy and paste it or may I add it on the fly, I don't want to inconvenience editors, but because of my schedule sometimes i'm not able to write down ideas and I don't want my article to stagnate while I slowly build a chapters history.

RE: Iron Bison
One more thing I had a question about a special unit for the Iron Bison, they are called Medicine Brothers a parallel to native american medicine men, they would combine the roles of apothecary and chaplain into a single role providing physical and spiritual healing and protection, each company would have at the very least two of these soldiers,  due to their gene seed not only makes them empathetic to the natural world but to the warp as well making them more susceptible to psykers so these brothers are there to tend and  help protect them from violent psionic bombardment or warp corruption.

Brother Rada (talk) 01:35, May 20, 2019 (UTC)

Thanks for the Tips!
Hey Algrim,

Thanks for the tips! - I just saw all of your messages so hopefully I won't mess that up again in regards to transporting material from the sandbox to the main page. Also that's unfortunate that the chapter name was already chosen, but I will fix it. I would be honored if you could design the artwork for my page! If you need it, I already have a chapter icon and design ideas - just let me know if you'd be up for it and what you need from me.

Thanks,

Quick Question
So quick question I was reading the wiki on the Void Paladins and I saw in their lore that they have a desert planet named Pueblo which also appears in my lore though they are in different systems, I had no idea he had that in his lore. While there are billions to trillions of planets in a galaxy and the possibility of 2 planets having the same name is highly possible, I would like to know if you want me to change the name of the planet in my article. If he published that info first I have know problem changing the name of the planet to something else. Just want to know what your opinion on this is if i should change it or leave it as is.

Chapter Master Art
Hey Algrim,

I was wondering if you could do some art for my Argent Leviathans Chapter Master, Vel'hiam Dratus. His armour is almost entirely silver with scales engraved all around the armour (Legs, chest, arms and a bit on the helmet) with some hints of the Argent Leviathans blue here and there. He generally uses his relic Power Spear, Celeri Morte which is mostly silver with an aqua coloured handle. He also uses a Master Crafted Grav-Pistol. Hopefully this will more or less complete the Artwork for this chapter and will be just as good as the other ones.

Many thanks,

Thanks for the awesome help on moving my page and adding that data piece to it. It turned my merely okay article into the cool format of this wiki. I appreciate it.

TechCaptain (Talk) 17:37, May 30, 2019 (UTC)

Hiya, Algrim

RE: Artwork, Yes Please!
I would definitely like to take up either you our your brother's offer on Artwork. Especially for my Lunar Venatorii. I am currently still transcripting my Regiment from various posts around DakkaDakka where I am a RPer and other Warhammer 40k pages that I have hid notes and ideas on them. The Lunar Venatorii of the 487th as you read are my Mechanized Cavalry. Particularly they wear Carapace Armor and are all armed with pistols as well as melee weapons, usually a type of power dagger. Their mounts and lances being some of the heavier weapons of the regiment outside their light tanks. Over their armor they wear a dizzying array leather jackets and chaps. Their helmets are the full face mask and rebreather type.

Me Again
It's me again. For colors, The primary Color of my armies are Dark Dusty Reds with the minor being a grey green like Hunter Green. Definitely would like the Leather to be the Red and the armor to be the green. They are kind of Maverick in the pose and actions. Being able to operate independently is important for Heavy Recon like them.

Void Lions Update
Hello Lord Whitefang!

I hope that all is well. I've been working on the Void Lions for quite a few months, and have arrived at phase two of the project. In this phase, I have felt the desire to redesign and update the appearance of the Void Lions Chapter- Tribe to reflect their Tribal aesthetic a bit more and was hoping that you would be willing and able to make some art for the concept! I have a few ideas in mind for what I visualize this redesign to be, but Im unsure of if I list them here in this message or wait for your reply to share them.

Hey man, hope you're doing well. I was wondering if you could fix up a marine for me. I'm looking for a picture of Kaiser Wilhelm, the first Kaiser of the Mordekaisers. His appearance is a marine in Mark III armour with two power fists, he has a centurion crest on his helm and also wears a grey cloak. He's got an aquila on his chest and a golden chain on his belt and, of course, he's covered in battle damage which I leave up to you to decide what and where. His helmet is gold and he has the standard Mordekaiser colour scheme.

Thanks in advance

Thank you for the welcome
Hello!

Thank you for your time and information. I'm new to the fandom pages (from the contributor side) and I overlooked some stuff, so thank you for pointing it out.

Also, I noticed many planet articles have neat pictures of them attached. I presumed it was made by the http://planetmaker.wthr.us/, but I'm more interested in the textures. Is there some kind of planet surface map generator you prefer to use (I found some, but they were shoddy) or you do them manually?

Also no.2, Is it possible to create a new category named 'Europan Planetary Federation'? I'd like to add my whole collection regarding this (about 27 pages of text) and It would make things easier to navigate if they all had a single common category.

Thanks, Mr. Space Wolf!

Hello Algrim, I was thinking about creating my own xenos race. However I do have a question about the template around non major races, I have seen several different styles with it and info-boxes and was wondering if you could explain which one is the correct one and any other pointers since I tried to look at the Guide How Not to Create a Xenos Race, but all I got was the picture of it.

Thank you for the art for my Storm Heralds, and for updating the page text.

Just a correction, if you have the time for the artwork?: The shoulder trim is coloured based on company, just like the Ultramarines. So 5th company is black. 1st company is white

The numerals on the knees or shins are repeats of the squad marking indicated on the shoulder.

Thanks again for expanding the intro to my chapter and defining the chapter colours in text.

Battleforged Artwork
Idk if this is the best place to put this but, thank you for the Battleforged Artwork!! I missed the notification saying it was added and was pleasantly surprised when i went on to update it and found the Berserker and its badge staring back at me! I had a more jesus statue above Rio type of concept for the divine arms pose but the crossed arms of the Aquila makes it so much more authentic to the universe. As a more formal request i would like to inquire about artwork for the Void Paladins if your queue isn't too full.

Thank you again for the artwork and the other edits you have added to my pages these last few months.

Edits on the Iron Blood Page
So I've come back to the Wiki and I've noticed some edits to the Iron Blood's chapter page that I didn't put there, things like the 'Chapter Curse', and a military engagement called the Callistos Exculpation. So what was going on while I was away?

SolZen321 (talk) 15:42, July 3, 2019 (UTC)

Continued
Okay thanks, but with the geneseed, the thing was the voice and the blood rage were to be somewhat separate. The idea was you could have the voice and not fall to the blood rage, and fall to the blood rage without ever demonstrating the voice. So I'm not sure if I want to keep it like that, unless the 'Chapter's Curse' is meant to be a bit different from just the normal gene flaws.

Argent Leviathans Banner Art
Hey Algrim,

I was wondering if you could do a Chapter Banner for my Argent Leviathans. I know I've kinda asked a lot from you in terms of art but a Chapter Banner would be a nice way to top off the article and making one myself is way beyond my skill set. So hopefully if you make it it will be just as good as all your art.

Many thanks,

Hi Algrim, Thank you very much for the alterations you made to the Nemean Lions. I like the new article layout and the little additions you made. I’m currently in the process of filling out the sandbox version so I can get everything perfect before copying it across to the main page. You mentioned artwork in one of your comments, I’d potentially be very interested in some artwork for the page, what sort of pieces are available?

Solar Hawks Are Ready for a Check
Ive made the founding and name altertions you mentioned, i did end up using one of your name ideas you gave me for the Solar Hawks, and assuming it passes the compliance check i would like some artwork for the armorial and basic tactical marine of the chapter. Icon wise i was thinking the attached bird but in yellow within a black circle. Armour wise i was thinking all yellow with red pauldrons as a visual way of showing both the similarities as well of the dichotomy of them and the Void Paladins.



Also if its not to much at once would it be possible to get Armorial & Marine artwork for the Cabal of Destiny as well? Thank you ahead of time for any and all of this.

EDIT 7/26: Ya i happened to check the site right as you were editing it last night, falcon sounds good! As always thank you for your insight as you have been into the universe for about as long as ive been alive and it shows in the little details.
