I have not been active under this account in recent months, and so the subreddit has been going basically unmoderated. Looking for volunteers to fix that.

Additionally, in checking the modding backlog, a large fraction of the posts over the last three months have been about rules rather than lore - crunch rather than fluff. One of my first acts as mod was to poll the subreddit asking if crunch-focused homebrew should be permitted here. The responses were very clear - fluff first and only, nothing wrong with diluting it a little with tabletop rules but don't overdo it. In light of recent low activity overall and the high proportion of crunch submissions, I am re-opening that discussion.

Current rule 5:

Rule 5: This subreddit is for 'Your Dudes/Guys/Girls/Things'. Posts must be primarily fluff, pics, and/or discussion of your group(s). Modelling and crunch should stick to fleshing out your group. Guideline: Fluff should make up at least half the word count of every post. So variant detachment rules for Your Dudes can go alongside an Index Astartes entry, but a full codex would need to be split over many posts worth of fluff. (Full-blown alternate heresies are also off-topic.) Discuss wider lore in /r/40kLore. Homebrew crunch or modelling should head to /r/40kcrunchbrew, /r/warhammer40k, or somewhere else; /r/40kLore's sidebar has a more comprehensive list.
