Isn't that basically everyone and everything other than Emma Watson?

I assume somewhere there is someone who hates Emma Watson. Mostly because there are people who hate kittens.

Nah kittens can be disliked by dog people... Nobody hates on Hermione

Extreme right-wing bible thumpers who still think Harry Potter has actual magical spells in it and is a tool of Satan would probably disagree.

The reaction from the player base would be hilarious.

A lot of them would probably miss the joke and send him angry letters and complaints and bitch about how he's the worst dev ever.

Exactly, hilarious

All that rage has to go somewhere. Might as well be a void

Codex: Dark Angels.

I don't understand, what you are trying to say.

I think the point is that Vetock (who wrote Tau) also wrote one of the much more bland books that we've gotten so far in the Dark Angels so to try and imply that all he does is overpowered rules is a bit much.

He also wrote Ogres and Orcs and Goblins for that fantasy note.

And the only thing I know about that book is that some people on the internet hate it.

People hated the O&G book back in 7th when Ward wrote it. As far as I can tell, Vetock has been the most liked Fantasy writer.

They'd still secretly find Emma Watson hot

I distinctly remember complaints about the current book too. Then again it's the internet and it's rare to hear things that aren't complaints online.

If it helps you sleep better at night, keep telling yourself that.

It looks like Vetock has something do with this codex, as it looks like an internally and externally balanced book that people complain isn't OP enough.

Fluff wise a good friend of mine was a big part of it. I haven't asked about rules, as frankly not an issue here. Good to not have th usual pariah burning tht goes on.

Makumba - odd, played in a shop tourney today with people who had fond exactly that. Guess your hyperbole of "no one" is just that.

Compared to previous Guard codexes, to me this still seems like Cruddace's previous work that was copy-pasted over and altered some, but the framework of the 5th ed codex is still rather prevalent. Whether it was primarily Cruddace or not, who knows.

With the smaller, faster releases GW hasn't been making huge changes to the books, so it's likely that it is largely based on Cruddace's work.
