Not everything there can be used in Max. However, the images in JPG format can be used, and I'm 90% Max can use PNG images, too. If it can't, lots of image editors can convert a PNG file to JPG format.

Well a lot of Warhammer 40k is popping up, references and stuff are easily found here and on the forge world website. (There is a link on their site.)

Reality is like a kick in the balls, you see something you like and WHAM.
