Amusing... Most people here seem to dislike Matthew Ward for his cheesy fluff.

I do dislike him (and his colleagues) for turning the focus of Wharhammer and Warhammer 40K from "Play a game to have fun" to "Play a game to win at all costs".

I almost get a heart attack when I look at the average army right now, it devolves to a contest of who will cram the most overpowered units in the alloted point. Basic troops are reduced to the barest possible minimum just in order to claim objectives if necessary.

These are the days I feel really old, when I remember my group of player trying the alternate army lists furnished at the end of the Codexes/Army Books/White Dwarfs just for the fun of it. My "the Lost and the Damned" from Codex: Eye of Terror cringes in it's grave, forgotten by all save me and my open-minded old farts comrades who still remember the whole point of this game is to have fun, and not at your opponent's expense.
