[edit] Comment
The Chaos Space Marines are kind of complicated to paint and are good in close combat. In the dawn of war game the graphics are really good and give you a good pespective as to what they look like in real life (Note:they aren't actually real i was reffering to the models)-—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 62.252.128.18 (talk • contribs).
[edit] Poor Chaos!
Poor Chaos Space Marines! They look, almost, well, scorned! ROFL! Then again... who doesn't scorn them? Not to mention people everywhere are looking down on them as evils. I have personal reasons why I don't ever interact or even look at the Chaos Space Marines, but that doesn't mean they ought to be scorned. Colonel Marksman 20:22, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Suggested 40k Article Guidelines
I have:
- An overall page of general guidelines
- A list that defines different types of articles on differt subjects
-
- For Armies "Army Page"
- For Technology "Technology Page" (equivalent to "Weapons, Vehicles, Equipment Page", or, "WVE page")
- For Notable Planets "Notable Planet Page"
- (User:Pak21 already made guidelones for notable characters, but a link to that is included)
- A statement of purpose for my guidelines
- Left room for more guidelines to come
--Nothing offical will be done with the guidelines (moved or put to use) until several Wikipedians involved in the Warhammer 40,000 project have verified it.-- Colonel Marksman's Proposed Guidelines

[edit] Chaos Space Marines and Horus Heresy
There is much better Horus Heresy article available already, do we really need to have another one here? I think a short note should be enough. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 80.51.254.240 (talk • contribs) .
- I agree entirely. If you've got time, please be bold and improve things. Cheers --Pak21 20:03, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Red Corsairs
Someone should add a section about the Red Corsairs and the The Maelstrom. I don't have the information with me but I know it exists. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 140.232.154.111 (talk • contribs).
- Wow, how did that get missed? I'll see about adding a blurb about post-Heresy Chaos Marines this evening. --DarthBinky 15:50, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Cleanup done; keep recruitment?
I did a pretty big cleanup of this article yesterday. I cut out a lot of extraneous info that can be discussed in wikified articles- as someone else mentioned, there was already an article about the Horus Heresy, so another discussion of it here is just redundant. Same goes for talking about details like Abaddon's relationship with Horus (discussed in Abaddon's article) or the fates of the various Primarchs (discussed in the article for the relevant legion).
The one thing I felt uneasy about was the "recruitment" section. I cut it down significantly, but I feel that it really doesn't need to be in a general article about Chaos Marines; that sort of minutiae seems to me to be outside the realm of an encyclopedia (except maybe an encyclopedia dedicated specifically to the subject). I left the section for now, but I'd like to remove it- so if someone can think of a reason to keep it, please, post it.
I also welcome any further help anyone wants to give, of course. Just remember that this doesn't need to entirely replicate all of GW's background "fluff"- it just needs the basics to give people an idea of what they are should be sufficient. If someone wants to get more in-depth info, they can go to the Lexicanum wiki (I think that's what it's called), or buy the books like we did. :)
