He's not. And hasn't been for awhile.

Good point, but you see where I'm coming from.

At least he has a sense of humor. But I'll never be so foolish as to buy one of his books. I'd get a better story out of writing my own; perhaps a diary log of what I do on the DoW II campaigns..]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/342392/2373312.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/342392/2373312.page GMT Re:Gav Thorpe>C.S Goto GW fluff.

Fixed.

If a book is out of sync with the fluff, that isn't the writers fault, it's the editor's fault. I suppose the editor still works for GW so Gav won't be blaming him.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/342392/2373315.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/342392/2373315.page GMT Gav Thorpe>C.S Goto

No he's meant to change things like 'multi lasers' to say 'heavy bolters'. If they didn't like his first book they wouldn't have commissioned a second one... and a third...]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/342392/2373329.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/342392/2373329.page GMT Gav Thorpe>C.S Goto
Everyone who is anyone in the 40K universe knows that the multilazor is dreadfully, dreadfully common. Something a pro warrior wouldn't be seen dead with!

Pretty much only those oiks in the IG ever use one, and that's mostly because they haven't worked out how to dismount them from their Chimaeras.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/342392/2373334.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/342392/2373334.page GMT Gav Thorpe>C.S Goto

No but they can direct an author to make certain changes.
