To be fair I don't think a credit necessarily means that Matt Ward is actively involved with the project, just that they're crediting source material Ward wrote which informs the game setting.

Matthew Ward is quoted in that article several times, talking about writing the characters.  Maybe he was just never an army book kind of writer.

I really haven't been paying much attention to Darktide's media side, I heard Abnett was involved and that was it. As long as the 5th and 6th edition Ultramarines don't show up Ward can stay. If he's quiet.

dmboogie posted:okay i'm confused because i looked at the full credited list of voice actors in darktide and zero of them were in vermintide 2??? Yeah, I don't know if that list is completely accurate. You're telling me that the first voice in this video isn't Bardin's voice actor David Rintoul? That's one hell of an impression if so.

Yeah if they're not the VT2 actors (which seems to be confirmed on their discord?) then they're doing drat good impressions. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bZij8nx4lx4

I went looking and while there is no verification of the original U5 VAs, I did find this reddit post by Fatshark Aqshy (community manager type): "We haven't released a full cast of every voice in the game except for what you've seen so far, just throwing that out there. Keep your ears open for little treats and such during launch and beyond." If I were making a wager, I'd say they're being coy about it for hype purposes. At least that seems more likely than just not having any of those VAs back when they are universally beloved by the die-hard playerbase, and paying other VAs to mimic them for some reason. big cummers ONLY fucked around with this message at 17:23 on Nov 10, 2022 |

Jurgen is also one of the very few humans who are ‘blanks’, you know, the same type of person Culexus assassins (a.k.a the living nightmare of any Psyker, demon or Eldar Farseer) are made of, someone who literally has no soul and a black hole for psykers except in a smelly baldrick package.

Your mileage my vary, but I found one of the Straken novels very entertaining as most of it was some variation of "Straken saw one of his comrades explode into a fountain of gore. Enraged, he removed an ork's entire skeleton with his Devil's Claw. Straken saw one of his men catch fire and turn inside-out..." repeated for 3 chapters straight.

I have absolutely devoured like 90% of the WH40K slop out there and I have no shame about it. Some (a lot) of it’s real bad but the recommendations for the “good” stuff over the last page or so track.

To new gaunt readers, if you don't like the first omnibus (I think three books?) It gets real good after that. Book four is when I think the series really starts earning its keep and it rapidly escalates to Very Good Military Fiction. And imo while the first three novels are the weakest, they aren't even BAD, just not as good.

Everyone shits on Ghostmaker for whatever reason. It's good and it has Dreadnought vs Guardsman duel.

Ghostmaker is kind of jarring to go from Abnett’s writing style of pretty good flow (and very sudden endings) to what is effectively a clip show in book form and then back. I think it’s fine, ultimately and gives some good background on the primary Ghosts but it just feels needlessly placed.

Isn’t Ghostmaker just a collection of older short stories? Maybe a question better suited for the book barn thread but hail chaos I guess.

I don't think we've seen anything regarding the Inquisitor heading the operation. I'll bet you five bucks when we do hear from him he'll be voiced by Timothy Bentinick (Saltzpyre's voice actor). Also as per tradition, it will be a total coin-flip as to whether-or-not he's actually a servant of Chaos doing some chessmaster plays.

Implement a score screen that tracks useless, unhelpful stats: How many times each player opened a door; Total number of melee swings; Most time spent in the air.
