	Laurie Goulding made enough offerings to the [[Chaos Gods]] in order to become a [[Black Library]] editor. He pleased the [[Games Workshop\|dark gods]] enough to become chief fuck-up officer for the Horus Heresy novels. He is not beloved by the community; and though he's fucked up a lot, he's not [[Matt Ward\|as hated as some]], mostly because his name wasn't front and center on every thing he touched and no one knew who the fuck he was.

	Unfortunately, Goulding tends to embody and reaffirm a lot of the problems that people have with Games Workshop. While he does honestly try to have contact with fans, he doesn't seem to listen to what they have to say - instead preferring to say that the fans are foolish for interpreting a novel a certain way and say how good the novels have been and how they're getting even better. This is a problem, because it suggests that instead of seeing why fans are interpreting things incorrectly and looking to correct it in future novels, he just openly mocks people and keeps assuming he's doing it right (a true Daemon Prince of GW, indeed).

His fandom was such that he created his own 30k fanwebsite called 'The Great Crusade', which he hosted. There the first 30k community was born, comprising those whose love of the Horus Heresy was such that they converted whole armies out of Greenstufed MK VII turned into MK IV (and that one metal Mk II and III model GW did at the time). Goulding made a pain in the ass of himself until it paid off. He lucked into a job at Black Library as a continuity editor, despite failing the editorial tests during the interview. He got the job because he was able to point out several major goofs, including both Fulgrim and Magnus commanding the 28th Expeditionary Fleet at the same time.
