WIDE WORLD OF WARGAMING AGE OF SIGMAR EPISODE 72 – IS AETHERQUARTZ JUST SALT?
On this week’s program: With Our favorite Frenchman back we are able to delve straight into the Lumineth Realm Lords battletome. We discuss our weekly stream game from last Sunday which pitted Alex’s Nighthaunt against the Light Elves. Alex is a little salty and needs to work on integrating a low sodium diet moving forward.

40K Philosophy: Means to an End – Part 2 of the Morality Series
If anyone in 40K (or anywhere) represents a negative interpretation of “Will to Power” then it would be the Emperor of Mankind, the most intelligent and amorally rational example of moral relativism and ends-justify-the-means that perhaps has ever existed in fiction. I am going to make the case that it is exactly those traits that led directly to the Emperor’s downfall.
An Argument That Good Exists in the Grimdark, Part 1 of the Morality Series

Think Harder About Religion in 40K
I don’t accept good and evil as matters of perspective. While good is pretty hard to nail down in a way we can all agree on, evil isn’t as hard in most cases to categorize or witness, and if evil exists then what isn’t evil must be good, and while we can be grateful that what evil isn’t includes a lot of things, there are a lot of things that evil is, and that’s not what most of us want to be.
40K Philosophy: What is ‘Real Literature’
I am not saying that all 40K stories must be or are inherently deep and meaningful, I am simply pointing out meaning or significance where I see it, and am making the case that we shouldn’t dismiss the genre out of hand simply because of its connection to tabletop wargaming or the science-fiction genre of writing.
40K Philosophy – Transhumanity
Welcome, 40K fans, to the first in a series of articles I will be writing about some of the deeper aspects of Warhammer 40,000. These articles are a thought exercise, and by writing them I hope to improve my thinking about 40K and its fiction (and maybe about much more). Topics in this series will…
