Editing Retcon (section)

===In 40k===
* [[Squats|SQUATS]] (Thanks to 6th edition, they are mentioned to exist and 9th edition saw them fully return as the [[Leagues of Votann]]).
* [[Valedictors]] and [[Rainbow Warriors]] being [[First Founding]] Chapters.
* [[Necrons]] being Terminators IN SPACE instead of Tomb Kings IN SPACE. They have been dubbed the Retcrons for this very reason. This wasn't their first retcon, as back in 2nd they were Chaos robots.
* [[C'tan]] being superdeath gods of [[Grimdark|superdeath]] and [[Just as planned]], and now being shiny space-pokemon (made out of said gods).
* Zoats and those weird [[Tyranid]] diplomats, and Tyranids being a race of individuals with leather-strap clothing and mechanical technology...
** The Zoats would eventually be confirmed as still surviving in some capacity, as one shows up in the [[Blackstone Fortress]] game.
* [[The Lone Guardsman]] being, you know, a guardsman, the great [[Ollanius Pius]]. (Apparently [[Fantasy Flight Games]] has brought him back. They're awesome like that.) 
* A metric ton of goofy [[Ork]]ish stuff, which, oddly enough, few people missed. Mostly because Ork canon does what it pleases.
* [[Sisters of Battle]] not sucking (since they got unique Magic System: Acts of Faith). 8th Edition's overhaul has seen this actually un-retconned by making them more than just some vestigial army.
* Ultramarines being BRITS IN SPAAAACE.
* [[Hrud]] being RATS IN SPAAAACE. They got cooler, though.
* [[Asdrubael Vect|Asdrubael Vect's]] bitches.
* Space Marines being COPS IN SPAAAACE.
* [[Phoenix Lord#Jain Zar|Jain Zar]]'s origin, she lied to [[Phoenix Lord#Asurmen|Asurmen]] before coming clean.
* Giving reasons for why Grey Knight would fight non-chaos groups.
* Goff Rockaz.
* Slann, if you think about it.
* 8th Edition ending the Indomitus Crusade. As the narrative went on, some of the writers had realized that there was quite a bit of a snarl in time if the crusade had ended after a mere decade and a half where only a handful of the goals were achieved only for a few centuries to pass until the 'present'. Come 9th Edition, the Crusade was retconned to still being ongoing, just in a different manner without Guilliman at the forefront. To solidify this, Black Library would release revised versions of the ''Dark Imperium'' and ''Plague War'' novels, dialing the clock back a hundred years or so. Now, the First Phase ended with the Battle of Raukos and the last remaining veteran core of [[Unnumbered Sons]] being split and while the crusade remains ongoing.
