  • Is Warhammer 40,000 a Male Fantasy?

    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!
    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?
    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!

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

    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.

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

  • Are the T'au Communists?

    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.

  • The Necrons and the Death Drive with Sean Pearce

    Sean Pearce from Wyrd Signal joins me for a deep dive into the history and philosophy of robot ancient Egyptian space-skeletons. Are they too dead or too alive? What does Freud's concept of the Death Drive have to do with them? Are they a little bit queer?
