===Warhammer Fantasy Battle=== *Army Book: [[Ogre Kingdoms]] (6th Edition). Kelly introduces a new very fun army with the single lowest model count in the game. While the book's crunch was average (nothing overpowered but at the same time you had a good chance at winning every game you played) the fluff was very good but surprisingly for Kelly was lacking in detail, though that could be argued as the Ogres not keeping very good records of their own history. Problems only started surfacing when the FAQ came out (which did things like add the "Move or Fire" rule to a character that didn't previously have that limitation) and further neuter units that were already struggling to find use on the tabletop. *Army Book: [[Beastmen]] (7th Edition) If Warzone Damnos is his worst 40K book, then Beastmen is his worst Fantasy book. The army went from having decent chances at winning games to the worst army in the entire game. Some of the rules were downright retarded, like needing two of the exact same unit to pull off an ambush, one of which would take no part in the ambush. The Beastmen themselves were also moved to a spot where the Chaos Gods and everyone else shit on them constantly, almost never blessing them with gifts to help get the job done, completely losing all access to any kind of mark (even in the lore it's explicitly stated they could not have them), and they even lost the ability to make themselves new weapons and armour. On the plus side he kept the theme of them being Chaos Anarchy embodied, and the book introduced several new monsters that have awesome fluff, great models, and would be auto includes if they weren't all hideously overpriced (coming in slightly under some dragons but nowhere near as useful). *Army Book: [[Warriors of Chaos]] (7th Edition). Pretty damn good on the rules side. He gave them some nifty special characters such as Valkia, Sigvald and Wulfric. And it had the [[Awesome|Viking drinking song/saga of Khalac Swordsson in it]]. The fluff is hit or miss. Some negatives include a lot of repetition (take a drink every time he uses "heady" or "plaything") and a few dubious retcon attempts, like claiming the Everchosen Asavar Kul got literally backstabbed and thrown off a wall by one of his lieutenants. It tries hard, often [[edgy|too hard]], to make the Warriors of Chaos seem dark, menacing, and evil, with [[skub|mixed]] [[grimderp|success]]. *Army Book: [[Vampire Counts]] (8th edition). A fairly decent release, it removed some of the cheese that the old one had (not to say it didn't have its own variety), added some more untold horrors upon the old world, and with Storm of Chaos being retconned into not happening he then (like the rest of the new Army Books) added a bit to advance the plot of Warhammer Fantasy. A bit of fluff in the codex has Mannfred conspiring with Kemmler to resurrect [[Nagash]] in a ritual involving a battle, the abduction and sacrifice of the High Elf Everqueen's daughter, which is one of the events leading to [[The End Times]]. This also disrupted an attempt at reconciliation between the High Elves and Dwarfs.
