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?

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?

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.

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. Get bonus content on Patreon

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.

Sean Pearce from Wyrd Signal joins me for a deep dive into the history and philosophy of robot ancient Egyptian space-skeletons. Are they too dead or too alive? What does Freud's concept of the Death Drive have to do with them? Are they a little bit queer?
