Pegasus AAV
I see you also read the Citadel Journal, I am irritated about an outdated vehicle of questionable canoncity made it here. The Pegasus AAV was made during an experimental time and its traits were applied to the Chimera. But keep up the good work.

Questions
When uploading publicly available official pictures from sources like the warhammer community website, is it better to select the most representative few, or to upload everything that satisfies the guidelines, including variant pics and minis from different angles? Besides, is it better to crop as much as possible, or to leave the image unedited?
Examples:
- [1] Is the current Van Saar pic sufficient, or is it better to post all other ones, in order to have all the weapons displayed?
- [2]: Extract the Spartan or post the whole pic with the frame and the brands?
