I love dungeon crawls, and I enjoy Fantasy Flight board games, and I'm a fan and player of Warhammer. What if there was a way to combine all 3 of these interests into a single experience? Well, there is, and it's called Warhammer Quest Adventure Card Game, published by Fantasy Flight back in 2015....
I finally watched Red Sonja (2025) and, with several caveats, I liked it. First of all, I'm both the target audience and the dreaded nemesis of a movie like this. I'm very familiar with Robert E Howard's Conan, so I'm always (maybe whether I like it or not) ready to find things I don't like about...
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...
The Rescuers is an old book that's been overshadowed a little by the Disney adaptation of it. The Disney adaptation captured my imagination as a kid, both through its excellent soundtrack and its "haunted bayou" imagery. It suggested to me that buried treasure and skull-shaped caverns cound be anyw...
I recently learned of the M4 Book Edit fan cut of Peter Jackson's The Hobbit movies, and decided to watch it. As someone who worked on The Hobbit movies, I have no hesitation in declaring them bad movies and, in stark contrast to the Lord of the Rings (LOTR) films, worse adaptations of Tolki...
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...
I've played most of the Fallout video games, I'm a frequent player of the board game, and so far I've watched both series of the TV show. I didn't become aware of Fallout until Fallout 3 (I did go back and play the first 2 games to find out what I'd missed) but I do consider myself a fan of...
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...
As fans of Tolkien, we've been mostly lucky that "expanded universe" content hasn't generally tried to alter Lord of the Rings (LOTR) canon. Rings of Power had to rewrite the story of Annatar the Lord of Gifts a little, because the show didn't have rights to everything in The Silmarillion. But...
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...
I've written about how much I love a good gaming magazine before, and I've just finished the very good issue 522 of one of the few remaining gaming magazines, White Dwarf. I subscribe to the magazine, and it's a good thing I do because this isn't an issue I think I'd have thought to buy off the...
I'm one of those people who's best persuaded to try a new game not by the game itself but by the lore surrounding it. I've always been that way, since my first glance at a D&D Monster Manual back in grade school. When I bought Epic Warpath on Kickstarter, I put in a little extra to receive The ...
