Joshy and Jonny review yet another 40k 10th Edition Codex.

Counterparts to our revered Chaos Knights, the Imperial Knights stand stoic against the darkness, ion shields rotating and codes chivalric sworn. Squire-like Armigers bond to their noble masters, the Questoris and Dominus pattern knights. These towering bastions of war become empowered by completing in-game deeds, further enhancing their lethality on the tabletop.

Joshy and Jonny have a relaxed chat, choosing a faction to play for each official Games Workshop game and briefly explain ourselves.

40k and Kill Time may be heavily on our minds, but we certainly have an excited eye on the likes of Age of Sigmar as well. Enjoy.

Joshy is back with a slew of new Space Wolves lore dossiers. This episode moves the spotlight away from the newly re-imagined Logan, Arjac, and Njal, sharing the love instead for fan favourites Ragnar Blackmane, the Young Wolf of the Space Wolf novels, Ulrik the Slayer, and the seemingly eternal dreadnought Bjorn the Fell-Handed.

These lore bites are a brief overview of the characters, their campaigns, their deeds, and what they bring into battle. Joshy breaks down where you...

It feels like there is a new Warhammer codex every week. Today's episode is covering Jonny's #1 faction: Chaos Knights. This army is all about letting you live out your boyish dreams of commanding big stompy infernal robots.

The Chaos Knights would be practically identical to their cousins, the Imperial Knights, if not for the spikes and demonic imagery. Codex Chaos Knights opens players to various methods of destruction, from the animalistic War Dog-focused Houndpack Lance to the towering Lords of Dread detachment- there is something for...

A format new to our show but familiar to all, it's time for a live and uncut reaction! With Joshy about to travel, we needed an episode out quickly. After initial hobby discussions, Joshy and Jonny react and discuss the massive reveals of the Warhammer Big Summer Preview 2025. Full of excitement, this episode is best experienced alongside the preview show or as you read through the related Warhammer Community articles, if you haven't already viewed them.

The Thousand Sons are Dust. Quite literally - in the time of the Horus Heresy, Ahriman would conduct a ritual to save the legion from mutation, only to turn almost all of them into animated suits of armour, shepherded by the many sorcerers spared. This is the legion of Magnus the...

*Cough, Death Guard time, Cough*

Next up in this Year of Chaos is our Trust the Process reaction and review for the Warhammer 40K 10th Edition Codex: Death Guard.

These smelliest of Astartes are the sons of Mortarion and Nurgle's plague-bringers. The Death Guard are an unmovable wall—perhaps the sturdiest of forces you could bring to the Warhammer tabletop. Their playstyle combines toughness with a slew of aura abilities designed to weaken their foes, and the codex offers many ways to defeat their enfeebled opposition.

It's Kill, Maim, Burn! time here at the TTP Field Manual.

Kicking off the first in a slew of codex reviews is the second-ever codex for the well-mannered World Eaters. Fresh out of the end of 9th Edition, the World Eaters Index focused on mad-rush charges into your opponent's closest war dollies. Now, with the arrival of a ripped and roaring codex, World Eaters offer many ways to beget blood and beget skulls for ol' Khorne.

Most Warhammer fans have been gaming for years, but what’s it like stepping into the hobby fresh?

Joshy interviews friend of the show Zac about his experience as a newly anointed plague-spewer for Nurgle’s Death Guard. From first steps into the grimdark to what’s next on a rot-riddled path, we explore the new-player experience from multiple angles in one of our more infectiously jovial episodes.

Keep your paint palettes clean of Nurgle's corruption, friends.

It's a Joshy and Jonny after-hours episode. In this rather relaxed episode, we're talking about the models, factions, and games that have our attention across Warhammer and beyond. From the next additions to armies we already collect, to ideas for systems we've barely touched, it's a whirlwind of wishlists, what-ifs, and hobby confessionals.

We talk 40k, Age of Sigmar, and Horus Heresy. We also begin to dip our toes into Malifaux, Idols of Torment, Infinity, and Trench Crusade. Heck, we even venture into the books and video games that...

Is it the Wolftime yet? Is the 10th Edition secretly the Astartes Edition? Probably.

Joshy’s here to keep the snowball rolling with more Space Marine lore—this time focusing on the fang-bearing legends of Fenris. In this episode, we dive into both the lore and gameplay of the stunning new models for some of the Space Wolves’ biggest names: Great Wolf Logan Grimnar, his mountain-crushing champion Arjac Rockfist, and the storm-summoning Rune Priest Njal Stormcaller.

These are your Champions of Fenris—leading the charge in 10th Edition...

*SPOILERS FOR THE NOVEL:

Fulgrim (Graham McNeill, 2007)

With a heavy heart, do Joshy and Jonny review and discuss the fifth instalment in the hefty saga of the Horus Heresy, Fulgrim. This novel focuses on the titular character, primarch of the 3rd Legion, the Emperor's Children, and their descent into the perverse Chaos corruption of blissful hedonism, away from the light of their namesake.

Yes, we talk about Istvaan, and yes, we talk about the Marivigilia. Get comfortable, this one is a rough tear-jerker.

In this episode, Joshy takes you deep into the lore of Gabriel Seth—the brutal, unrelenting Chapter Master of the Flesh Tearers. Known for his blood-soaked reputation, Seth is a force of nature who dragged his dying Chapter back from the brink through sheer will, fury, and a whole lot of chainblade diplomacy.

 From navigating the tangled politics of the Imperium to carving through Tyranids and Chaos alike, Seth’s story is one of rage barely held in check—and maybe, just maybe, a shot at redemption.

 Gra...

Joshy and Jonny plunge headfirst into the wild lore of the Last Chancers—the Imperial Guard’s very own Suicide Squad. These aren’t your average grunts; they’re convicted criminals from amongst the Guard’s own, offered one final shot at redemption... by being thrown into the deadliest missions imaginable.

 Led by the charismatic (and slightly unhinged) Colonel Schaeffer—a man who cheats death like it’s a hobby—this ragtag unit faces everything from Tyranids to Orks, often with nothing but bad attitudes and big explosions.

With over thirty playable factions, Warhammer 40,000 is a galaxy unto itself. Decades of releases, countless lore entries, and limitless potential—both on the tabletop and as an artistic outlet—mean the universe isn’t slowing down anytime soon. But what should come next?

Join Joshy and Jonny as they dive into what every currently playable and collectible faction deserves in their next model release window. From Josh expanding the Aeldari’s many threads to Jonny’s Chaos freestyling, there’s something for every fan, especially if you’ve got a soft spot for Space Marines.

In anticipation of the upcoming Warhammer 40,000 Crusade supplement Armageddon, Joshy and Jonny are diving into one of the most fiercely contested warzones in the 41st Millennium. Join us as we explore not one, not two, but three epic Wars for Armageddon—an iconic world woven deep into the tapestry of Warhammer 40,000 lore, and far from forgotten.

 Angron, the Grey Knights, Commissar Yarrick, Ghazghkull Thraka—oh boy, what a scrap.

 This is the first episode in our new mini-series: Warhammer 40,000: Warzones. Armageddon isn’t just a planet; it’s the name behind rulebooks, novels, miniature ranges, and decade...

Joshy and Jonny charge headfirst into the brutal world of Warhammer 40000 to unpack Lord Invocatus — the fiery, skull-obsessed leader of the Fire Riders warband. He’s new, he’s loud, and honestly, he’s awesome. We break down his lore (what little there is), his blend of tactical smarts and Khorne-fuelled aggression, and why he stands out in the blood-soaked madness of the World Eaters. From flaming sky-bridges to skull-stacking violence, we spotlight Invocatus as one of 40k’s freshest Chaos Lords.

Fulgrim has returned, Lucius is lurking, and Slaanesh Daemons are in the mix, but does this release live up to the hype, or is it just a half-baked, drug-fueled soufflé?

 From stunning sculpts to questionable roster choices, we explore what Games Workshop nailed and what feels frustratingly unfinished. Join us for a first-look reaction to the depraved 3rd Legion—a psychedelic carnival of chaos, corruption, and just a l...

Horus Rising (Dan Abnett, 2006), False Gods (Graham McNeill, 2006), Galaxy in Flames (Ben Counter, 2006), and Flight of the Eisenstein (James Swallow, 2007)*

Considered amongst the Black Library's Hall of Fame, these are the opening titles of the beloved and bloated Horus Heresy saga. Kicking off our own Book Club, Joshy and Jonny discuss the plot and characters of these gems.

Everything we discuss is limited in scope to these four titles, so worry not!

Whether you're a seasoned Overlord or an awakening newcomer, you’ll find plenty of insights and ideas to enrich your Necron gameplay.
