One of my favorite things about my armies is that they all have histories. A back story built from previous battles and campaigns. Several characters have names and some have even seen promotion through the ranks. I have a Tac Sgt who later was given terminator armor and when he was felled by Tyranids he was placed in a Dreadnought sarcophagus.
The unfortunate side effect of developing an over arching narrative is that some fluff has a tendency to contradict established fluff of 40k. My Salamanders have a tenuous peace (near alliance) with a Farsight enclave. My daemons will occasionally lend an (unwanted) hand to Space Wolves. My IG are an amalgamation of traitors that have joined the aforementioned Farsight enclave.
-Space Marines would never suffer an Xenos relationship
-Daemons would most likely just slaughter the Space Wolves and their opponent if they could manage it
-Though many humans have joined the Tau, the Tau would never let them stay as an organized army as they are now, even lending a few firewarriors to assist them on the battle field.
I think everyone who has an interest in a 40k narrative has their own "instance" of the 40k universe where unlikely and unique things happen. What are some of yours?
