  1. Is Warhammer 40,000 a Male Fantasy?

    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! Play Fledgling Manor on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3238510/Fledgling_Manor/ Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

  2. The Alpha Legion Deserve Better!

    10/27/2024

    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?

    10/20/2024

    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! Hosted on Acast.

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

    10/17/2024

    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. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

  6. Make Orks Scary Again: The War of the Beast

    10/13/2024

    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. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

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

    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. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

  8. Are the T'au Communists?

    10/06/2024

    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. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
