Midlife Villainy: The Best 40K Villains Ranked

Warhammer Dragons' Den – The Multi-Million Pound Pitch

I'm out… or am I? Welcome to the grimdark Den. In this episode, Matt and Lucas are trading their dice for business suits and pitting two completely original, homebrew factions against the ultimate test: each other. The rules are simple: We’ve each designed a brand-new, completely original 40k faction from scratch. We have 10 minutes to pitch the lore, the aesthetic, the army mechanics, and the centerpiece model. Then, the investor takes the gloves off for their brutal due diligence.Get involved in the Spotify Q&A: Which faction gets funded, and which one is heading straight to the FAQs?

Midlife Heroes: The Golden Aquila Awards

A few weeks ago, we dug through the galactic rubbish heap to crown the ultimate villain of the 41st millennium. Today, we’re trying to cleanse our souls. Welcome back to Midlife Heresy, and welcome to The Golden Aquila Awards! This week, Matt and Lucas are looking at the other side of the coin: Who is the greatest hero in Warhammer 40,000? From the administrative exhaustion of Guilliman and the literal depression of Dante, to the xenos defiance of Farsight and the pure human grit of Commissar Yarrick, we are putting them all to the test. Can anyone actually top the tragic nobility of Sanguinius? Or will a grumpy Space Wolf steal the crown? Listen in to find out, and let us know: Did we get it right?

Surviving the Black Rage with Deathcompany Dropout

This week, the brain behind Deathcompany Dropout joins Lucas and Matt to discuss how he became the internet's favorite 40k rules translator. We chat about his hobby origins, favorite lore, and how he's rating 11th Edition so far. Stay tuned until the end to hear our deep, dark hobby confessions—because even a Space Marine has secrets.

The Great Purge: What would we remove from 40k?

Today, we are launching the ultimate Exterminatus. No fixes. No balance dataslates. No "maybe they'll get better in the next Codex." We are permanently deleting one faction, one unit, one legendary hero, one rule, and one toxic hobby practice from existence. Forever. Will the T'au get binned? Is Guilliman heading back to his stasis pod permanently? And which one of us is about to lose our hobby license for our take on unpainted armies? And once you're done screaming at your headphones, we want to hear from you. If you could permanently delete one thing from the hobby—a faction, unit, hero, rule, or hobby trend—what is going in your personal incinerator? Drop a comment and let us know!

Grab your power armor and your scorecards, because the Midlife Heresy boys are tackling the ultimate grimdark question: Who is the absolute greatest villain in Warhammer 40,000?
