My personal favourite to think about is purifiers.
All grey knights are pure, but purifiers are purer than greyknights and Draigo and Castellan are purer than them!

I didn't know you could be purer than pure but somehow you can according to Mr Ward
I beleive there is some sort of respawning character, some guy haunted by ghost terminators, Grey knights keeping a Daemon head in their fortress that is still possesed, along with other silly things

Discipline my ass, these guys shouldve been corrupted by chaos long ago, if Matt Wards fluff is anything to go by

Someone above said keep him out of Black Library? I say move him there, where he can't hurt the backaground anymore,except in his own books like Goto does

Ah yeah, no explanation necessary, silly me

Technically, "Ward happened" IS an explanation. So many people have complained about his fluff-writing that he's a Warhammer Meme all his own. It's at the point of you don't need to explain "Ward" anymore, just like you don't have to explain why 2+2=4. Ward+Fluff=Abomination. It's fact, and doesn't need to be explained each time.

Definite quote.

How did this get into the printing? Did no one edit / fact check this? Or with the departure of certain long standing GW figures turn into a case of "write what ever fluff you want, I don't care anymore" point of view?

I feel like I've moved up in the ranks now: I've been quoted Shall I take a bow?

timetowaste85 wrote:I feel like I've moved up in the ranks now: I've been quoted Shall I take a bow?

Well I'll say this: your response to being quoted was.. ah.. less extravagant than mine.

Even GW by now should have realized everyone hates Matt Ward's fluff and stopped him writing -_-

I think Matt Ward's been blessed by Nurgle, as he's always spewing out disgusting crap

Inspired by this thread, and Timetowaste specifically, I made myself a brand-spanking new signature image!

When the Necron book arrives I'm going to go through it with a 6 pack in hand and a tissue box, so I can drunkenly cry to myself at what my metal horrors have become.

"Necrons, a dead race that is more dead than anyone else. So dead that they rebuild themselves just to die again!"

It will be worse. The fluff will points out every 3 lines or so how silent and creepy and scary are the Necrons.

Just go to your local bar, murder everyone there, and bathe in the blood of the drunken. That'll protect you, right?

Edit: Wow that sentence sounds really bad out of context.

Nah, I bet it shows how the 'crons learned a thing or two and now organize themselves by the codex astartes.

If it comes to that then I'll just use the Fall of Damnos book to base how my background is. Royal houses, nobility, armies of the plebeians sent to their deaths with little care. The good stuff.

Does it say they were corrupted or were they doing it for the lolz?

I know that GK are 'uncorruptible', but that could certainly explain it.

They were all insane, Eviscerator-wielding Ecclesiarchal Priests in a previous life, before being reincarnated as Grey Knights.

Umm... Yeah.

Ward= The idiot mother who believes that all lore must be over the top.
Yep.
What an idiot....

I just checked out what ward looks like and he even looks like a deuch!

What a foul Chaos Spawn? Or just a fat Amy Winehouse?

Be interesting if Matt Ward was the April fools joke this year, and that the grey knight codex wasn't really coming out. And that the lore was just a bunch of April fools joke.

Ain't that the truth. Somehow though, I feel that after today we will all be sorely let down by the fact he really is still working with GW, and still will be writing tripe for many years to come.

But wouldn't it be funny if today he was fired?

"Hey Matt, you're fired!"

"HAHA, good one guys, april fools!"

"You can get your things together and have to be out of the office by 3. Just kidding. Now. April fools Matt."

Especially because you managed to misspell "bar" "car".

"By the way we are burning all the codexes and clip notes you made. The biggest pieces of gak of all time."

"Who will replace me?"

*Dark Lord Sean walks in.*
"I will!"

And just to be a picky little bitch its "context" with an X not "content".

Could you imagine the recall on all Matt Ward corrupted products? It would be like a modern day theft of a pharaoh's tomb. He'll be buried alright, but with none of his riches from this life, he will go to the afterlife with nothing to comfort him. It's the best we can hope for his eventual demise.

Oh, tech66, it's spelled "it's" in the context you used the word "it's".

Or just fire the fether.

There's hordes of gamers who would write better fluff for free
