Until the release of 1.0, each army had his own team of designers : the [u][b]Army Book Committees[/b][/u].

30k references the time period before [u]Warhammer 40,000[/u]'s main timeline (which takes place in the 41st millenium). 30k may refer to games of 40k played to represent the earlier time period or may reference [u]The Horus Heresy[/u], a game designed by Games Workshop to reflect the earlier time period. This [u]The Horus Heresy[/u] game was made much after the initial [u]Warhammer 40,000[/u], which is also a game designed by Games Workshop.
[b]Win At All Costs (WAAC) Players[/b]
Negative term for Players that focus almost entirely on overpowered/broken units, rules or armies. For WAAC players, winning the game trumps all other aspects of the game and is synonymous with fun - if they don't win, the game isn't fun and some get very upset. This term is often associated with cheating and bad sportsmanship.
