Lexicon Tuesday. There's great deal of information about 40k all over the web. Many of them use short hand to communicate their message. I'm compiling a lexicon to help me decipher what they mean. Warseer is great that it has the terms linked to what they can mean. I endeavour to copy their method in the future. In the mean time I hope you learn as much as I do if not more.
