wallacer:

Hard to believe that the Daemon book and the Orcs book were written by the same guy. Talk about going to opposite extremes.

Grimstonefire:

I must admit I was surprised to see Adam Troke and Graham McNeill in there as authors.  Is this their first venture into fantasy?

Edit:

Hasn’t Graham McNeill been a Black Library author for a while now?

Grim: Yeah, he has been. I don’t know how much fantasy he wrote, but I seem to recall him as one of the authors in the Horus Heresy books.

I find it interesting how two of the Tier 1 armies in fantasy were written by Gav Thorpe.
