How he feels about having his two prior series that made his name being taken away from him is unknown however.		He has since returned to the [[Black Library]] and penned a trilogy about [[Tyrion]] and [[Teclis]], which are really good. A very fine writer, probably was the WHFB equivalent in books to Annett. How he feels about having his two prior series that made his name being taken away from him is unknown however.

	He recently finished his [[Macharian Crusade]] series of novels. He changes some of the fluff, but it seems to be in a good way. And is anyone surprised that there are Space Wolves in it?

	Unfortunately, being one of BL’s oldest writers also means a lot of King's books were written when Warhammer was young and undeveloped, and as a result they…haven’t exactly aged well. The Space Wolf series is a prime example of this, as while the stories themselves are solid enough, they just don't mesh at all with today's fluff. When you read them now and see stuff like the Imperial Guard using [[Predator Tank\|Predators]] and [[Rhino Transport\|Rhinos]] instead of [[Leman Russ Battle Tank\|Leman Russes]] and [[Chimera\|~~Chimeras~~]], the Thousand Sons effectively negating the Rubric (during the climax of Grey Hunter) in a way that would have [[Ahzek Ahriman\|Ahriman]] screaming bullshit at the top of his sorcerous lungs, and a host of other issues and inconsistencies, you can’t help but feel like the books could really do with some modern rewriting.
