Well, it seems we’re back on track with more pages of goodies to hand out. Jon B. has alerted me to be ready for more editing, so don’t be surprised if another update comes again very shortly. In a few weeks, I hope to be traveling north to help Jon K. move into his new house. He’s been in Japan for the past two years, but he and his wife bought a home in Omaha, Nebraska and they’ll be living there for the forseeable future. I expect that you’ll see more activity from Jon K. once he gets settled in.
In the meantime, I’ve been busy with a few Warhammer related items. I’ll post up pics sometime when I get my Dark Angels revamped. I can’t wait to use the new bits. Expect me to add some lion heraldry to customize the command squad.

For those of you who don’t know about the Lexicanum, it is a rather massive repository of information about all things Warhammer and Warhammer 40,000 in Wiki (think Wikipedia) format. Obviously, its a little more in depth than anything you’ll find on Warhammer on the Wikipedia.
I was in contact with the owners of the Lexicanum some time ago to request a method to help raise awareness of Lexicanum and the Ultinomicon together, namely that I wanted to create a Fan Portal so that people who might be reading Immortal Enemies and were not familiar with some or all of the concepts involved could go and look it up somewhere. The best place to do this is the Lexicanum, and while it does have a ways to go until it is completely comprehensive, it is far better than any other fluff repository on the internet. Of course, the best way to make the Lexicanum even better would be by visiting and checking it out for yourself. Wiki’s are edited by everyone, so your knowledge would be valuable.
In any case, you will notice now a pair of links to the Lexicanum and the Lexicanum Immortal Enemies Fan Portal. Now, if you need any more information on Immortal Enemies, you know the best place to look. Enjoy!

In reviewing the way that people are finding the Ultinomicon, it seems there is a sizable contingent of people who do not live in the (naturally) English-speaking world. I was contacted at some point by some people who were interested in translating some of Immortal Enemies into another language; however, they didn’t seem interested giving the whole length of the work the treatment, at least that was my understanding. Never-the-less, I am open to the idea, and if someone was looking to translate this into another language, I would put forth the leg-work required to publish it here for people to read. It does not necissarily have to be German, Spanish, or Japanese, those were just the first three that came to mind.
If you are interested in helping translate the story here into another language, please get in contact with me. I would prefer natives of other countries fluent in English just as a general rule. I think I speak for all of the editors when I say that Captain Kairo shouldn’t jump out of warp and announce to the Orks anything like is listed below.
Captain Kairo: How are you gentlemen? All your base are belong to us! You are on the way to destruction.
Kaptain Zed: What you say !!
Captain Kairo: You have no chance to survive make your time. Ha Ha Ha Ha ….
Mad Doc: Kaptain !! *
Kaptain Zed: Take off every ‘Zig’ !! You know what you doing. Move ‘Zig’. For great justice.
