Currently reading through the BL novel Dawn of War by Goto as an attempt to reinspire myself about the 40k universe, a potentially fatal mistake (!

), and was struck by what I found to be an entirely poor, even childish, approach to the eldar. Furthermore, on numerous occasions the author just seems to get it, well, wrong.

I was wondering whether anyone else had read the book and had similar 'problems' with it...?

Only read the extract availible from Black Library, but that was enough to put me off. There was just something about the way he portrayed stuff I wasn't liking, and I recall thinking he got something wrong with Eldar Wraithguards.

But I wouldn't consider Eldar my personal strong point (Tau myself ;D ).

But, again, I'm a self-confessed eldarphile... Kage
