OK, now that NetEpic has released v5, I think it's time to revisit an old project of mine. Namely, revising, and "codifying" the fluff for NetEpic.
What I'd like to do, is to put together a single "book" of fluff for NetEpic, covering the whole kit and kaboodle, from pre-Emperor to the current 40K era. This then could be used as side bars for later Gold type releases of NetEpic (rules and more likely army books), and as a background setting, providing creative players with campaign and battle ideas.
Now, as we all know, GW tends to retcon the latest and greatest stuff into their fluff, which leads to all sorts of continuity errors, and outright contradictions. They also have a tendency to revise ad hoc seemingly stuff from edition to edition. This has given me wuite a head ache, as it was in great part the fluff that attracted me to the GW games in the first place.
So, where to start? I see this has been brought up twice before, and there's a nice Horus Heresy time line posted. What I'd like to do is to get all the GW fluff, and organize it, then reconcile the discrepencies and contradictions. Then we add to it, filling out gaps, and altering things as needed to fit the NetEpic universe (read Army Lists).
I've got a lot of the old stuff myself, up through Epic: 40K, and 2nd Edition 40K. What I'm missing is the more recent stuff, and lots of stuff from CJ and WD.
that brings us up to starting. What I'd be looking for:
1. Volunteers for each race, to coordinate and edit.
2. Copies of fluff from recent 40K, Epic:A, WD, and CJ articles.
3. Primarch to stop laughing at me for bringing this up again..(I know you are P!)
4. Artists to render images of various selected scenes
5. Map maker, or an "offcial" cartographer for NetEpic
I'm sure there are a 1,000 things I'm forgetting at the moment, but this'll do for now...

However, given time I can comb the material for any interesting fluff tidbits. Emphasis being on the "given time" part.
