Wych :: Black Templars (Чёрные Храмовники) :: Dark Eldar :: Space Marine (Adeptus Astartes) :: Imperium (Империум) :: Warhammer 40000 (wh40k, warhammer 40k, ваха, сорокотысячник) :: фэндомы

if it has the 40K logo on it, it exists in the 40K universe. Or it was a legend that may well have happened. Or a rumour that may or may not have any truth behind it.

Если на этом есть знак 40к, то это было во вселенной 40к. ИЛИ это легенда, которая МОГЛА произойти. ИЛИ слух, который может ИЛИ НЕ может быть правдой.

Итого: Начали за здравие, закончили за упокой. Бывший редактор в каждом предложении всё менее твердо говорит о правдивости произведений своей компании, заканчивая тем, что это вообще слухи, которые, грубо говоря, гвардеец от нечего делать в окопе сочинил. Слухи и легенды, считай, преувеличеные сказки. И ничего более.

Решил копировать из отчёта перед акционерами за 2008, так копирую полностью) Вместе с:

George Mann, Head of Black Library, had the following points to make:

In further conversation, George emphasized that Black Library’s main objective was to “tell good stories”. He agreed that some points in certain novels could, perhaps, have benefited from the editor’s red pen (a certain multilaser was mentioned) but was at pains to explain that, just as each hobbyist tends to interpret the background and facts of the Warhammer and 40k worlds differently, so does each author. In essence, each author represents an “alternative” version of the respective worlds. After pressing him further, he explained that only the Studio material (rulebooks, codexes, army books and suchlike) was canonical in that is HAD to be adhered-to in the plots and background of the novels. There was no obligation on authors to adhere to facts and events as spelled out in Black Library work.
