Like I have always said: Mat Ward can write rules and write them good, but it is his fluff that bothers me. He is a clear case of a fanboy given power, and that is never good when he gets the final say in writing such big things like the Space Marine codex (Space Marines being one of the most iconic things of 40k)

And yes, you can use the argument that other writers would step in, but truth of the matter is, they can't stop Ward, only advice him, and see it from a fanboys view. You want to show everyone that your own faction is the greatest, someone tells you to cool it down abit, a normal fan goes all "Yeah, I guess you're right" while a fanboy goes "F**KYOUTHE*insert faction*ARETHEBESTESTTHEREISANDYOUJUSTDONTWANTYOUROWNBELOVEDELDARTOSEEMSMALLERBUTTHEYARE--" etc etc.
