    Is Warhammer 40,000 a Male Fantasy?
    Oct 29 2024

    There are a lot of people calling Space Marine 2 -and by extension Warhammer 40,000- a male fantasy? Why are men fantasising about something so comprehensively horrible? Why did Games Workshop take all the naughty stuff out of the grimdark future? Writer and game developer merrit k joins me to discuss these questions and her name game, Fledgling Manor!

  • The Alpha Legion Deserve Better!

    The Alpha Legion Deserve Better!
    Oct 27 2024
    Those sneaky bald boys of the 20th were all over the most important parts of the Horus Heresy and they're crazily interesting - so why do they only have three books in the 41st millennium (even if they're all great) and more often than not show up as generic antagonists?

    The Blood Angels Codex: How Dracula Is It?
    Oct 20 2024
    The vampire himbos of the Ninth Legion have a new Codex out, and in this entirely unscripted live reaction I do an Epic Based Sceptic Gamer Rant about it. Are the Detachments any good, do I like the new models, is there anything in there about the Lamenters falling down a flight of stairs? Find out here! Get bonus content on Patreon

  • How The Adeptus Mechanicus Ruin EVERYTHING | Warhammer 40,000 Lore

    How The Adeptus Mechanicus Ruin EVERYTHING | Warhammer 40,000 Lore
    Oct 17 2024

    There are no good guys in 40k, but there are definitely the worst guys in terms of the sheer level of suffering they've unleashed on the setting through being dumb toaster-humping weenies. I am speaking of course of the Adeptus Mechanicus, and how they suck and are bad and awful.

    Make Orks Scary Again: The War of the Beast

    Orks are just silly, goofy guys, right? Bzzt, wrongo: they're a galactic-level threat who could very easily wipe out anything that isn't green if they got it together. This episode covers the War of the Beast, the one time when Orks very nearly won all 40,000 Warhammers. Get bonus content on Patreon

  • Inquisitor! Or. When Warhammer 40,000 Wasn't Afraid To Get Weird

    Inquisitor! Or. When Warhammer 40,000 Wasn't Afraid To Get Weird
    Oct 9 2024
    Ian Watson's book Inquisitor was the first ever Warhammer 40,000 novel, and it's still one of the strangest. Not afraid to bust it down s*xual style, the book is... divisive. On this episode, I'll talk about it's plot, characters and the strange, strange vibe that makes it unique to this day. Get bonus content on Patreon

  • Are the T'au Communists?

    Are the T'au Communists?
    Oct 6 2024

    Forget the memes, let's get down to brass tacks: are the T'au actually Communists? Well, we can't really discuss that because the Internet has damaged people's brains, but we can compare and contrast them to Iain M. Banks' The Culture to see why they are probably (definitely) not commies.
