If you’re stuck in that “how do I pick a faction?” phase of Warhammer 40K, I’ve been there myself. In this video, I take a proper look at the brand-new Combat Patrol: Harlequins and Combat Patrol: Death Korps of Krieg, covering their lore, their playstyle, and the very different vibes they bring to the tabletop.

From Cirque du Soleil-style murder clowns on jetbikes to World War One trench soldiers in gas masks, I’ll break down everything you need to know before you commit to one of these armies.

This is ideal for beginners, hobbyists, and lore enthusiasts alike—so let’s open up these boxes and see exactly what you’re getting.

In this video I talk about the lore of Marneus Calgar, Chapter Master of the Ultramarines, Lord of Macragge, and arguably the most competent dad in the galaxy. From fighting Tyranid hive fleets to punching a flaming god in the chest, Calgar’s career is a highlight reel of Warhammer 40K’s most outrageous battles. I cover his exploits from his earliest clashes with Hive Fleet Behemoth through to the resurrection of Roboute Guilliman.

If you’re into Warhammer 40K lore, Ultramarines history, or just want to know why Calgar deserves more respect than he usually gets, this is the deep dive for you.

In telling this story I bring together the iconic battles of Macragge, the showdowns with M’kar the Reborn, the Avatar of Khaine, and of course the epic moment when Guilliman finally returns.

This is Warhammer 40K lore explained in a way that’s accessible, a bit tongue-in-cheek, and packed with detail for anyone who wants to understand why Marneus Calgar matters. Whether you’re new to the setting or a veteran of the tabletop, stick around to hear why Ultramar’s Chapter Master has earned his place among the legends of the Imperium. I beg.

Right, I finally sat down to unpack how Netflix managed to turn The Witcher from “our Game of Thrones” into “that thing you half-watch while scrolling your phone.” Spoiler alert: it’s not just Henry Cavill leaving. From the dodgy timelines to the writers allegedly not even liking the source material, it’s been a long, messy ride. Here’s my breakdown.

Timestamps:
0:00 – Intro: Me, already sighing louder than Geralt
0:23 – Part 1: Game of Thrones envy and Netflix’s big boast
1:53 – Part 2: Cavill enters, moustache locked and loaded
3:25 – Part 3: Geralt the medieval pest control guy
4:48 – Part 4: Grunting, good fights, and a corkboard of timelines
6:58 – Part 5: Eskel dies, fanbase implodes, writers improvise badly
9:00 – Part 6: Internet food fight, writers mock books, Cavill rage-quits
12:27 – Conclusion: I’d sooner replay Gwent than watch season 4

If you’ve ever wondered how to butcher a beloved franchise in record time, this video’s your guide

This video is my complete Warhammer 40k Combat Patrol review, where I break down the best value Combat Patrol boxes in 2025. It’s taken me absolutely ages to make because of the sheer amount of research and maths involved. I’ve gone through each box, calculated the individual kit values, and ranked them so you don’t have to waste your hobby budget guessing.

Yes, I’ve included Chaos Daemons even though their Combat Patrol is discontinued. Why? Because the value inside that box is too good to ignore. I got my entire Blood Angels army second-hand and saved a fortune, so it felt wrong to leave them out. This video is all about value for money, and if you’re eyeing up Daemons on eBay, you’ll want to know exactly why they’re worth considering.

Whether you’re a beginner looking for a Warhammer 40k starter army, or a returning player wanting the best Combat Patrol for your money, this guide should help you make an informed choice. From Genestealer Cults to Blood Angels, I’ve ranked the top 10 boxes, explained the lore behind each faction, and hopefully saved you from pulling your hair out with spreadsheets.

The timestamps below are so you can skip to whichever army you care about most. If I’ve fluffed the sums, feel free to correct me in the comments... KINDLY. Other players genuinely use those comments as reference, so the more detailed your advice, the better.

Timestamps

0:00 – Intro: training wheels, but grimdark
1:35 – Your first pint of Warhammer
2:25 – Some Patrols rob you blind, some don’t
4:19 – Sunday with spreadsheets and bargains
6:40 – Chaos Daemons: yes, I know, hear me out
11:30 – Genestealer Cults: worst fan club ever
15:59 – Death Guard: rot but make it cheerful
19:41 – Aeldari: space elves who partied too hard
23:57 – Imperial Agents: the Emperor’s odd-job lot
26:28 – Salamanders: actual nice Space Marines
31:33 – Thousand Sons: dust in suits of armour
35:46 – Astra Militarum: WWI but in space
38:45 – World Eaters: chainaxe leg day
42:17 – Blood Angels: I’m biased and proud
46:20 – Conclusion: classy training wheels

This is meant to be both a Combat Patrol beginners guide and a value for money breakdown. If you’re just starting Warhammer 40k, or if you’re looking for a new army without breaking the bank, I’ve done the maths so you can spend more time painting, rolling dice, and arguing in the comments section.

Warzone Season 6 is here, and the biggest rumour is that Rebirth Island at Night is returning. Yes — the fan-favourite Resurgence map could finally be back in Call of Duty, just in time for spooky season.

Why Rebirth at Night was one of the best limited-time events in COD history

Right then, toss a coin and grab your silver sword because today I'm talking about everything we know (and don’t know) about The Witcher 4. From Ciri finally getting the spotlight, to combat that looks like Dark Souls if Buffy the Vampire Slayer had a Polish accent, this video is your one-stop tour of CD Projekt Red’s most ambitious RPG yet.

I’ll be covering:
The Witcher 4 release date rumours (spoiler: don’t hold your breath until 2027).
Why Ciri’s new role could make this the best open-world Witcher game to date.
How combat’s changing (less Geralt the tank, more teleporting goth ninja).
The origins of witchers, their mutations, and why villagers still think they’re creepy.
And of course, what on earth Geralt’s grumpy uncle cameo might look like.

If you’re hyped for The Witcher 4 gameplay, or just want to hear why witchers are basically fantasy Batman with a side hustle in dodgy potions, this one’s for you.

Don’t forget to drop your thoughts in the comments because I genuinely want to know - are you buzzing for Ciri’s saga, or cautiously sharpening your silver sword in case CDPR mess it up again?

Let’s address the elephant in the room: no, I’m not here to dissect the Dawn of War 4 trailer frame-by-frame like some caffeinated tech priest with Photoshop. What I am doing is far more important - I’m replaying Dawn of War: Definitive Edition after twenty years and telling you whether it still slaps harder than a Chaos Lord at a family reunion. Spoiler: it does.

I paid £21 for this nostalgia hit - cheaper than a Friday night curry that betrays you in the morning - and somehow it’s still one of the best Warhammer 40k strategy games ever made. From sync-kills that feel like WrestleMania in power armour, to mods that turn Baneblades into Thomas the Tank Engine’s final form, this is peak RTS gaming.

5:30 – Part 5: Die Hard with Orks (Yippee-Ki-Yay, Heretic)
7:06 – Conclusion: Why This RTS Is Still the Emperor’s Favourite Child

If you’re hunting for the best Warhammer 40k strategy game, wondering whether Dawn of War Definitive Edition is worth it in 2025, or just here to laugh at me complain about orc pathfinding, you’ve come to the right place. I’ll cover campaign design, mods, sync-kills, graphics tweaks, performance, and why this RTS still wipes the floor with half the junk released on Game Pass.

Because here’s the truth: Dawn of War isn’t just another RTS. It’s Shakespeare with bolters. It’s Age of Empires II but with chainswords. It’s the RTS equivalent of Die Hard - timeless, endlessly replayable, and just a bit ridiculous in the best possible way.

In this video I am talking all things Raven Guard – the sneakiest, broodiest, most Batman-meets-Wolverine bois that the 41st Millennium has to offer. From their grim origins, through the absolute car crash that was Istvaan V, all the way to their current boss Aethon Shaan (aka Batman with a jetpack and lightning claws), I’m covering the lot.
We’ll chat Warhammer 40k lore, dodgy gene-seed, stealthy war crimes, and why the Raven Guard are basically the SAS in power armour. Oh, and of course there’s the new Combat Patrol box, which is basically the Avengers but everyone’s wearing black and has a jetpack.
So grab your boltgun, slap on some warpaint, and get comfy – this is the ultimate Raven Guard deep dive, with just the right amount of sarcasm to keep you awake.

Warhammer: The Old World is back, and at the centre of the storm is Miao Ying - the Storm Dragon of Grand Cathay. She’s the general, the dragon, the living legend, and possibly the most terrifying “older sister energy” ever sculpted in miniature form. In this video I talk about her lore, her role in the Great Bastion, her tragic family drama, her first-ever miniature, and why Games Workshop are charging the price of a small kingdom for her.

If you’ve ever wondered why Miao Ying is more than just a shiny centrepiece, or if you just want to watch someone justify spending £90 on a dragon, this is your guide.

Ask and you shall receive...here it is, my long-awaited van tour. Meet Storm, my pride and joy, my Swiss Army knife on wheels, my Tolkien-escape-pod. She cooks, she cleans, she even lets four people kip inside if you don’t mind a bit of human Tetris.

In this video I ramble (lovingly) about the joys of the VW Transporter T6, the confusing naming system that sounds like a Warhammer expansion pack, and the fact my kitchen table hides behind the driver’s seat like a spy gadget.

If you’ve ever wondered:
What on earth is the difference between a T6 and a T6.1?
Why VW engine options are basically a pub menu.
How many bacon butties you can stash in a cleverly-placed sliding-door cupboard.

…then this is the video for you.

Be nice though – she’s my baby.
