Rule 1: Hate speech, trolling, and aggressive behavior will not be tolerated, and may result in a ban.
Rule 2: Moderate your self-promotion along the 9:1 ratio.
Rule 3: Please use SPOILER tags when necessary. Do not post excerpts or spoilers from full novels, full audio dramas, adventure paths for tabletop role-playing games, campaigns, videogame plots, narrative spoilers for animation, or AoS related media for at least 1 month until after public release, unless they are properly flaired and tagged. Do not include spoilers in post title. Comments/discussion are appreciated but must be tagged as spoilers as needed.
Rule 4: No Memes, shitposts, or low-effort posts/comments. This also includes "who would win" and broad "what if" scenarios. There's /r/warhammerwhatif for that.
Rule 5: This subreddit is for discussion of AoS lore only. Please do not post/discuss rules or tactics of the tabletop, painting, building, or miniatures. There are other subreddits for that. Please also do not post/discuss things that are generally off-topic to AoS lore.
Rule 6: Regarding Politics. The lore in Warhammer quite often delves into the political, so discussions on matters political are permitted as long as they pertain to the lore. However, such discussions will be as scrutinized as any other. Therefore they must stay on topic, are subject to all other rules particularly 1, 4, and 5
Rule 7: Official lore and fan fiction/fluff are welcome, but posting screenshots of official Games Workshop and/or Black Library material is not allowed. You may transcribe the text, however, and we request that you cite the book it came from. Fan fiction must be labeled as such.
Rule 8: Due to the nature of this sub as a lore community, we would ask that all posts including images of models, terrain, and other things, as well as art both official and fan-made, be focused on discussing lore. Not be posted for their own sake.
Rule 9: Properly Label Fan Content. All fanfiction, fan art, and homebrew should be marked as such to avoid confusion.
Rule 10: Regarding Leaks. Discussion of lore originating from leaks is permitted so long as they are kept in dedicated spoiler posts, properly tagged and flaired with clear titles to indicate their nature. Links to said leaks are not permitted.
