As this topic's title makes clear, this topic is about the "Intercessor Squad gone from webstore." It's not about other stuff. I've removed all the off topic posts.

My point is that each app could be discussed in the forum for the related game.

What games are supported by the app?

It's always good to see new DIYs, especially from (sub)factions other than the Adeptus/Heretic Astartes. I like the image you used. It's reminiscent of similar images used/created by other B&C members for their Aeldari and Anhrathe. Even though the article says that they use red as more of an accent, it appears to be the dominant color in the scheme. Do you have any completed miniatures for this corsair fleet? It would be great to see them realized on the tabletop, even if it's only for Combat Patrol or Kill Team. Similarly, I'm interested in seeing their rivals.

Let's wargame this out (I'm not saying it will/won't happen, mind you)... Someone has said something that you find interesting. You don't necessarily agree with it (ruling out the AGREE reaction) or disagree with it (ruling out the RESPECTFULLY DISAGREE reaction) and you want to think about it further before you reply in the discussion (if you reply, that is). The fact that you're still thinking about it probably means that you don't quite LOVE it, and you may or may not SUPPORT it (yet). You don't necessarily think it's funny (ruling out the HAHA reaction). Is that correct? This leaves two of the existing reactions that might convey the concept (among other things)... LIKE doesn't necessarily mean that you agree with something (hence the other reaction), so it might be used in the sense that you like that someone has posted interesting content and you're thinking about it further before commenting. THANKS can also be used in a way that is different from agreeing with someone (again, hence the other reaction), so it might be used in the sense that you're thanking the other member for posting content that is thought-provoking. All the reactions aside from RESPECTFULLY DISAGREE confer a reputation point upon the member whose content has received the reaction. Even if one ultimately disagrees with the points made (after further thought), would the thought-provoking nature of the original post merit a reputation point? If one of the point-conferring reactions was used and you later decide that you don't think the member deserves a reputation point (because you eventually disagree either with the arguments made or the method of argumentation), would either the ability to remove a reaction or some neutral (i.e., non-point-conferring) reaction be better? And what if you eventually decide that the points made are worthy of a reputation point? If the original THINKING reaction was neutral, you would likely want to change it to a different reaction that confers a point (likely one of the existing reactions). More likely, however, members wouldn't think to change their reactions later, even if they eventually agree/disagree with the points made in the post. In such cases, points would be retained even if the member assigning the reaction ends up not agreeing with the post (if the original THINKING reaction confers a reputation point) or no points would be gained even if the member assigning the reaction ends up disagreeing with the post (if the original THINKING reaction doesn't confer a reputation point). Perhaps you just want to say that the content is thought-provoking. It might be argued that either LIKE or THANKS work well enough, but there might be sufficient nuance to merit a distinct reaction. What would such a reaction look like? Keep in mind our intent to have each reaction have a unique appearance, including key colors. So unless we were to change the background color of one of the existing reactions, we would have to find a distinct background color for a THINKING or THOUGHT-PROVOKING reaction. At present, orange is the only significant color that isn't represented in the existing reactions (and it might work well in this instance). The first icon that comes to my mind is a light bulb, but we might collectively identify something better (keep in mind, however, that it has to be simple enough that it renders well at very small size- 16 pixels wide and tall, as in the examples above).

People fail to understand two very important things: First, this entire forum serves as a "book club" where members are free to discuss all the fiction, both written and visual, about the Warhammer 40,000 setting. Second, a single freeform topic is terrible for content discovery and findability. That kind of engagement works fine on Discord, Reddit, Quora, and other similar sites, but it fails to make proper use of the discussion forum format and underserves the community. Yes, it's easy to just pop into a single topic, post about whatever crosses your mind, and then move on. And yes, it can be interesting to see how a topic wends and weaves through a variety of subjects. It doesn't allow for people to engage in any depth, however. And people might be interested in specific subjects that crop up in the course of such a discussion, but then they have to work their way through a variety of other subjects in which they might have little/no interest to pick up all the posts about their subjects of interest that appear in pages and pages of a single amorphous discussion. To avoid repeating something I've said before, here's a link to an editorial providing an explanation of the site's content architecture: https://bolterandchainsword.com/blogs/entry/143-content-architecture-at-the-bolter-chainsword-an-editorial-of-sorts/. That explanation is as true for freeform "discussions" as it is for off-topic posts. More importantly, it demonstrates the importance of discussions having an appropriate level of focus. There are a lot of great ideas that come out in discussions, and the replies that have appeared so far in this discussion are a great example of the range of ideas that deserve to be discussed by members of the community. Do everyone a favor, however, and be willing to put in the minimum of effort required to create distinct topics for separate subjects. The depth of engagement enabled by such discussions is far greater than that allowed by random wall post style discussions.

The link has been added to the Miscellaneous Aeldari Links section.

Given the tongue in cheek nature of the premise, I'm moving this over to the + ADEPTUS ASTARTES / LOYALIST LEGIONES ASTARTES + forum.

Just for clarification, are you asking about a specific point in time (e.g., that represented by the 5th edition of the game)? Or are you asking about a range of time periods for which there might be different answers (e.g., M36, M37, M38)? If you're looking for the latter, starting points for information (until someone here takes the time to break things down into a simpler format) are the timelines/chronologies on Lexicanum or the Warhammer 40,000 Fandom Wiki.

That was unexpected. I'm not really a fan of this for Kill Team, but I expect we'll see the Exodites eventually available for the Craftworld Aeldari as allies, akin to the Corsairs. And despite my misgivings about this in Kill Team, I'm almost certain to get it since I'm a sucker for the Aeldari.

I have bitmap versions of both Firstborn and Primaris Space Marines that you might be able to use. These are the templates I used for the images shown in the Insignium Astartes: Legio. Alternately, if you look at the DIY Resources, you'll find a link to the old Space Marine Painter (Firstborn) and a link to the Primaris markings and heraldry sheet. One of these might be helpful.

@RowlandAbsolutely. If you haven't already done so, you might take a look at some of the finished DIY Chapter articles. There are diverse formats and different types/quantities of information provided in each, demonstrating the level of flexibility members have in crafting their articles. An article works well for a single "post" format. An alternative format you might consider is to have a blog. This works well if you want to have each area presented separately, allowing for members to jump around (via links) as well as for future expansion that you might develop.

Thanks to the generosity of our members, we have raised $2,503.47 , reaching our target. This money goes towards monthly server hosting, semiannual licensing, and a planned software update/server migration. In addition, we have sufficient funds to cover emergency maintenance. While we have conducted this fundraising campaign as a two-month event, we gladly accept donations year-round. Any money we raise above this amount can be given back to the community as prizes for contests. In the past, prizes have been paid for out of pocket by the contest hosts (which is why most contests don't have prizes). Once again, a big thank you to everyone who donated, as well as to those who may donate in the future. Your generosity has been instrumental in ensuring the continued availability of this site to the members of the community.

Thanks to the generosity of our members, we have now raised $2,373.47, just under 95% of our goal.
