What did he do to the DA Codex? Well, the DA codex is essentially a test-run for the 5th Edition Codex: Space Marines. All of the special rules like Combat Squads and free grendades were tested in DA, and costs were increased as a result. Plus, the codex was pretty bland and uninspiring. This might have been ok, but then they released C:SM, which had all of the fancy new rules and abilities but with none of the downsides AND with newer, better 5th edition rules. It was just last month that GW finally released an update to bring the old Space Marine books back up to near-par. To be fair, I don't know for sure if this was JJ's fault. It's just one of the things that he takes flak for. I had no experience with his Standard Bearer articles, but I've heard more than a few negative comments regarding them.
