Fancy a bit of daemon-hunting in the 40k universe? Within these walls is a short story by C.Z. Dunn is a 1930s-style haunted Egypt story, except Egypt is the agriworld of Niebuhr and 1930s is 40,000s. It's a good story, featuring Sister Agentha of the Orders Dialogus of Adepta Sororitas as its m...
Early in 2026, Games Workshop released a new edition of Necromunda. This took a lot of players by surprise because Necromunda isn't one of the games that gets frequent updates, compared to the company's bigger games, like Warhammer 40,000. Even more intriguing was the game's new subtitle. It w...
I read All Must End, a short story by Gav Thorpe set in the Warhammer 40,000 universe, and this is my review of it. There are no spoilers beyond what's revealed in common online summaries of the story. If that's too much spoiler, then my totally spoiler-free recommendation is: All Must End is...
The year 2025 was a good year for White Dwarf magazine. Issues 515 and 516 released Space Marine Operations, a co-op mode for Warhammer 40,000, and I honestly didn't think it could get better than that. But then in November there came issue 518, which at first glance seemed like it would be an...
I read the Warhammer 40,000 book Blood of Iax by Robbie MacNiven, and couldn't put it down. This is my review, with minor spoilers, most of which appear in the description on the back of the book.
In Blood of Iax, the planet Ikara is under an ork assault. It's just a random ork assault, the...
In January 1960, Fritz Leiber published the novella The Night of the Long Knives in Amazing Science Fiction Stories magazine. I recently read the book, freely available from Project Gutenberg, and this is my review of it. It's so terribly good that I almost don't want to write about it at all,...
Back in November 2025, I wrote a review of the Space Marines Codex for Warhammer 40,000. Recently, I read the book again and was so excited by it that I felt compelled to write a review, completely forgetting that I'd already written and posted a review. This post is my second review of the...
Necessary Evil by Rob Sanders is a short story about paranoia and apocalyptic dread set in the Warhammer 40,000 universe. The main character of the story is Inquisitor Bronislaw Czevak, an agent of the Imperium tasked with hunting down and eliminating alien influences. In this story, he crash lan...
Left for Dead is a Warhammer 40,000 short story by Steve Lyons about a soldier in the Death Korps of Krieg, and his escape from the eternal war of the 41st millennium. This is the Red Badge of Courage of 40k, and it's written very much as an almost universal story that almost doesn't depend on...
I was never a Marvel comics fan, but once Marvel started making blockbuster moves (some of which I've got credit on), Marvel became pretty hard to ignore. It wasn't that I had anything against Marvel, it's just that I started buying comics a few years after the 1989 Batman movie came out, so Batm...
When I play space marines, I usually play Iron Hands, and so I decided to read the Black Library book Ferrus Manus by David Guymer. I read this as an audiobook while mowing the lawn, so I'll likely misspell most proper nouns that I only heard and cannot find referenced online. This review contains...
Warhammer is so big that it can be hard to know where to start, or even if you want to start. Warhammer Academy is a new initiative from Games Workshop to shepherd people into Warhammer 40,000 through structured videos lessons and tutorials, in the style of a MOOC (massive open online course.) I...
I watched all 3 episodes of Aeronautica Imperialis on Warhammer TV streaming, and enjoyed it. It's a story of the Imperium against the Aeldari as they fight for control of a planet that's been claimed by humanity as a forge world. But really it's a story about revenge, obsession, and ultimately ev...
In Warhammer 40,000, an Exodite is an Aeldari who left their homeworld to settle a remote planet in rejection of the degeneration of the Aeldari civilisation. A new Exodite kill team has just been announced on Warhammer Community, and coincidentally I'd just been watching The Exodite Warhammer...
I like things that are built to last. I don't concede to planned obsolescence (one of the many, many reasons I run Linux), and I don't like overhauls for the sake of just producing something new. And that's why the new edition of Warhammer 40,000, called the 11th edition by everyone but Games Work...
Siege of Fellguard is a short story set in the Warhammer 40,000 universe, written by Mark Clapham. This is my review of the story, with minor spoilers. The description on the Black Library website:
When the fortress world of Kelthorn voices its allegiance to Chaos, dozens of Imperial Guard...
