==Characters==
I removed the "Characters" section from the list as it seems rather game mechanicsey - the only characters mentioned are the ones from the codexes. The other forces info boxes we re-did don't have the special characters section either. [[User:Thelemur|The Lemur]] 23:35, 21 June 2012 (CEST)
:Well, the Chaos forces portal hasn't been so amended; and I don't see what's wrong with including the characters, since the Chapter organization is also, arguably, a reflection of the game mechanics.--[[User:Proteus77|Proteus77]] 02:13, 22 June 2012 (CEST)
::The problem with including the characters is that it raises the question of what characters to put in. The ones currently in the list are characters from the codex(es) (as the info boxes were initially created as force organisation tables), but as we don't organise things by army lists this becomes problematic. If Ragnar Blackmane is mentioned - why not all the other named Wolf Lords? The only difference is that Ragnar has a model and rules.
::I dont agree that chapter organisation is rules based at all - it's very much background based, thats why we changed the format away from the HQ/Troops?Elites etc layout.
::As to the Chaos box - I plan to fix them all at some point so they follow a similar layout, if memory serves the chaos one is a complete mess anyway - there is a post in the forum about it somewhere plus I posted on the [[Template talk:Chaos Main|talk page]] a while ago.
