    I just want to say if you want a story then read something by BL other wise just bite the bullet and get over it, the codex is not a log book but a short story book who gives a dam as long as it tells me what I need to know and a little back ground. Now this being said I do like my fluff as it tastes like blood, sweat and souls and helps me have a reason for what I'm doing (and yes I'm one of these teens as I'm 16) but still I play necrons and they are good and I just want more of a story for them then what they have.

    True, the Dark Eldar Codex was an interesting exception to the rule, at least to some extent. What it lacked in depth or personality, it at least kind of made up for with the interesting superscience-by-way-of-Clive Barker motif.

    Unfortunately, it was a niche that the Necrons used to occupy, so all their appealing mystery and Lovecraftian techno-horror got jettisoned in favor of leftover Scorpion King costuming and other halfassed pop-Egyptology. Poor things. We'll not even get into the horrors inflicted on the Boys from Titan...

    This all misses the point, though. It's not "more," it's the specifics of what's been added, and the spillover into nonsensical He-Man stories where there was once a bit of verisimilitude...so long as one made allowance for WWII strategies in a universe with space travel.

    Time was, wars in 40K read like historical accounts, and operated on broad but workable military strategies, even if they were used against Orks. Nowadays, battles are won or lost by Marneus Calgar sucker-punching Avatars, presumably due to the copyright on their names and an assumption that the audience is too dumb to know the difference.

    I have no earthly idea what to do with this comment. It dangles there in the wind, deeply confusing on one hand, but also tempting me to try to copyright the idea of comparing two dissimilar things via their qualities and reap billions off the retroactive royalties. It just might be crazy enough to work.

    Yes, you should copyright being an idiot. You're extremely good at it.
