Hey /tg/. How good/bad is Gav Thorpe in regards to lore in general,

>>50335150
Thorpe is generally regarded as middle of the road overall. He fan wanks eldar like no tomorrow and his 4th Ed Chaos space marines were bullshit since it stripped out everything even remotely interesting.

He's always trying to bring in a sense of balance to shit in an unbalanced way. CSM are a good example; strip everything down so its a watered SM codex.

Hordes of Chaos was pretty good though barring the utterly retarded power difference between chaos knights and everything else.

If he's written Deathwing expect space elves or hommages to them.

I could have told you more about it, if they actually released the damn beta when they said it was.

The genestealers were actually fallen angels the entire time

Will I get to anoint myself in sister's blood?

His SoB and IG fluff is solid, and Last Chancers is absolutely fantastic. I've heard mixed feelings about DA and he's generally seen as bad for eldars afaik.
But with Streumon on board, it's gonna be glorious. Apparently GW asked them to tone the crazyness down.

Why?

>>50335150
He made the M41 Dark Angels the reason why the Fallen exist. That's so retardedm, any fluff he writes with them is immediately suspect.
His name made me less hype for this game.
