@Beamo I think that's part of my issue with Fanfic. I get that people make their armies and then want to write a bit of background about the army. Maybe this one guy has a special mark that was painted on him because of something cool he did. I get that! (Hell, that's where Tycho came from.)
But it's also a fine line between writing a background bit for your army and writing fanfic. I like they armies where they are based off of X campaign, or something like that. I don't like when it's a background peice trying to justify why they have all the vets or why the orks are teaming with necrons.
