Comment on I started playing WH40k Rogue Trader and I'm digging it, but I know virtually nothing of Warhammer. Any super basic world info I should know going in?

  Actually, the “powered by imagination” thing was 100% canon circa third edition. This is the problem with making any kind of absolute statement about 40K lore… Most things are usually correct at some point and the lore revises itself and overwrites itself so often that what is canon for any given interpretation of the 40K universe is really up to the writers of that interpretation.

    I’ve heard this said many, many times, but I’ve yet to see an actual source on it.

    I collected Orks in 3rd edition. I have the big black book, I have the codex, I was subscribed to White Dwarf. I don’t recall seeing anything like that at the time.
