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)-— Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.252.128.18 (talk • contribs)

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.

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

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)

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. — Preceding unsigned comment 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)

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. :)

Jetbikes, Landspeeders

I was thinking after reading many of the new books on the Horus Heresy and the visions of heresy,etc; it seems to show that the Warmasters forces did actually have jetbikes, landspeeders and various other vehicles that are currently not on GW's production lines (including a super heavy tank). Also during the Heresy, well over half of the Adeptus Mechanicus did join the Warmaster's forces, so they should be able to take care of their own vehicles especially the Iron Warriors.

Also it may be worth mentioning that the pre-heresy Space Marines are a lot stronger than the M.40 Marines (due to the degeneration of the Primarch's Gene-seed, the technology that makes the armour is also degenerating and the standard Marines also have a lot less experience in combat than the Chaos Space Marines), therefore the Chaos Space Marines should have an advantage over standard Marines.

Thanks for reading -- Craig-sama 23.29 15 April 2007 (BST)

Improvements

Someone needs to update the Chaos Space Marines to standards like the other armies of Warhammer 40,000. It can't be me, because I know almost jack squat. Colonel Marksman 00:51, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Codex-Chaos Space Marines.jpg

Image:Codex-Chaos Space Marines.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Misplaced Pages articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Misplaced Pages:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Misplaced Pages policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 06:20, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

Chaos Space Marines Page

The individual pages are not notable. The main page is notable. The subpages only exist with the main page and contain too much excess and fan fluff. The only way to keep the Chaos Space Marines page is to combine them all. The masses seem to want to keep the main page, but the others are not significant. The person who reverted my edit is a blatant liar, because the Articles for Deletion page has a Merge All as a third vote, and others proposing similar things. NobutoraTakeda 20:54, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
