i agree wholeheartedly about simply dismissing the previous work someone did when it comes to 'revitalising' someone's story. i like the current necrons but i've only been aquainted with them from the previous codex onwards and so i'm unaware of their previous work-ethic of obliterating all life. you would think with the breadth of imagination that comes from GW products that the old and new necrons could maybe have been amalgamated ...- after waking from their aeons long slumber there was a schism in their race whereupon fully half the race wanted to get back into flesh bodies, and the rest still wanted to destroy everything -...sort of thing.

and while mr ward definitely gets a lot of hatred piled on him, as you say: it's primarily a games workshop problem.
