[edit] Additions from White Dwarf

User Jesse Mulkey has pasted in (and beautifully formatted) large sections of White Dwarf. Even with accreditation, surely this is straight copyright violation? See the Copyright FAQ. We would need to extract the key points and rewrite them. Removing for now - the content can be still accessed from page history. --Air 12:52, 7 Feb 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Unencyclopedic?

Anonymous user 151.204.6.44 has twice added this tag to the article. I'm reverting again as this article seems perfectly justified. Note the many other articles in the category Warhammer 40,000 species - why are these articles not under similar attack? --Air 12:52, 7 Feb 2005 (UTC)

I think they are. 151.204.6.44 seems to have some sort of chip on his/her shoulder. "Wikipedia is not a fan site" apparently. The IP
Considering how games workshop and their fiction is now seriously branching out into other areas(video games, books, comics etc) I don't see how it can be classed as a niche fan thing. --Silveralex 28 June 2005

[edit] Genestealer in Rogue Trader

Games Workshop have helpfully reprinted the Genestealer and Tyranid articles from Rogue Trader. --Air 07:54, 20 May 2005 (UTC) http://us.games-workshop.com/games/40k/tyranids/articles/genesis.htm

[edit] Ovipositor

A line in this article implied that the Alien jaw-within-a-jaw was an ovipostitor; that is incorrect. The ovipositor was the egglaying apparatus attached to the Alien queen's posterior. God, I'm a nerd. :) Fernando Rizo 00:53, 14 July 2005 (UTC)

Absolutely right. --Air 05:56, 15 July 2005 (UTC)
Actually, an Oviposter (what they are called in White Dwarf) is what Genestealers do have and it just means egg layer. Animals can lay different eggs from whatever they want in a fantasy environment. SanchiTachi 01:05, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Hybrid Tables?

I remember there being a set of Hybrid Tables out there from long ago. Basically, they listed what features (and the general appearence) of the Hybrids was as they passed from 1st Generation, straight through to Purestrain. The tables were for Human and Ork Hybrids, I believe. Would these be worth including under the Cult section? Dasleah 00:32, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] I Updated the Page

Could someone help expand the Broodlord section so the picture doesn't drop down so much into the Patriarch section. Thanks. SanchiTachi 02:11, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
