I hope that 9th wont be as bad as they say it will be... was going to seriously get back into the hobby about 6 months ago.. then the end times... The hobby has been on hold for me until I know whats happening.

Abnett is a very sought after author, he doesn't have a lot of time for Warhammer these days

Ya that's the sad truth. And ADB is just super lazy and a slow writer.

I wouldn't say he's lazy, he does a lot of stuff beside writing lol

As pointed out, Graham McNeill is his own employer and writes for BL and many more, and us being one of them. He was never an employee - and as he's stated, he decided to join Riot.

We're good and still have a good relationship. We have 17 short stories so we're well covered on that end, we obviously still have access to everything GWS and their staff and we got some recommendation for other fiction writers should we need them.

But right now, the coming need will be around the campaigns and the ingame text, which is less writing novels and more systemic and contextual, game narrative. That's something people like Ivan is much better suited for, being a narrative designer.

So carry on, nothing to see, Graham controls his own life, not us

Dammit Nathan, don't let him escape! I told you guys months ago, Compliance Collars were invented for a reason...

We need more Ivan !!

You know I can't talk about individual staff members circumstances, but I can say I want him on the narrative and the campaigns.

*smiles inwardly as a great future Eldar lore tragedy is no longer a threat*

Of course!
