You shouldn't be, if this is true.

It means Robin Cruddace will be picking up more work...and that's not a good thing.
That said, it's more likely that you're simply hearing a rumor.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/422450/3775737.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/422450/3775737.page GMT Matt Ward, Fired?

True that. If Matt Ward was fired it would suck for the player. If anything, just police him a little harder on the marine fluff wankery and hire someone to help him with fluff writing quality.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/422450/3775743.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/422450/3775743.page GMT Matt Ward, Fired? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/422450/3775775.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/422450/3775775.page GMT Matt Ward, Fired?

Just have him write a whole bunch of rules, and have someone else do the fluff, and we are golden.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/422450/3775819.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/422450/3775819.page GMT Matt Ward, Fired?

/Obligatory Wardhate

Until it's less vague than 'I know a guy who knows a guy who knows a guy who said Mat Ward was fired' i'm going to remain skeptical; there's little reason to fire him (he sells codices after all) and he hasn't fethed up as much as people try to say he has (true the GK codex is a mess in parts, but in others it's fine; even the BA codex isn't as grossly overpowered as some of the haters would have you believe).]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/422450/3775892.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/422450/3775892.page GMT Matt Ward, Fired?

Because despite a few parts which are absurdly out there--he's one of the better writers they have, and actually seems to understand the concept of balance.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/422450/3775903.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/422450/3775903.page GMT Matt Ward, Fired? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/422450/3775909.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/422450/3775909.page GMT Matt Ward, Fired?

If he's gone, we'll all just pick a new thing to complain about.


Besides, a lot (not all) of the fluff changes he made are improvements (even if people hate them).]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/422450/3776007.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/422450/3776007.page GMT Matt Ward, Fired?

I applaude you for your awesome ability to spot that I play Dark Angels (and Eldar). I fail to see how that has any bearing on what I said. To help you out with spotting the most important part of my previous statment I have bolded it for you. Just because an Avatar gets punched in the face by Calgar does not mean that I prefer the travesty that is the DA (and to some extent) Eldar codecii over the more falvourable Vanilla Marines codex.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/422450/3776040.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/422450/3776040.page GMT Matt Ward, Fired?

That's worse than letting Cruddace write books.

Seriously. Chambers could not write rules, at all. He also wrote just as much over the top fluff as Ward did, the only difference is it wasn't worded with simplistic terms or parts where it seemed like a thesaurus was used to make it sound cooler.

That said, Chambers was a great ideas man. Implementation of said ideas, not so much.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/422450/3776063.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/422450/3776063.page GMT Matt Ward, Fired?
