The Best Primarch to join the Fellowship of the Ring

Hello, and welcome to episode 96 of Expertise is Overrated, where two nerds with an inflated sense of their own intelligence take the time to answer questions no one was asking. OK, so we should probably apologise for this one. It's barmy. We cross the streams of two VERY different media. And the results are... weird. Turns out 40K doesn't sit that well alongside the Legendarium. Who knew. Anyway... enjoy?

You wake up as... Leman Russ

Hello, and welcome to episode 85 of Expertise is Overrated, where two nerds with an inflated sense of their own intelligence take the time to answer questions no one was asking. This is the third iteration of our "You wake up as" series where we discuss what we would do if we wake up as fictional or historical characters at a certain point in their lives. We once again find ourselves in the 41st millennium as we awaken as the Wolf King, Primarch of the Space Wolves. The Imperium is a wreck and most of our brothers are gone. Our mission: figure out what in the Emperor's name is happening and sort out all the mess. See you next time for some more absolute nonsense!

Henry Cavill's Warhammer 40K TV Series

Hello, and welcome to episode 81 of Expertise is Overrated, where two nerds with an inflated sense of their own intelligence take the time to answer questions no one was asking. We're on a "what TV do we want" roll at the moment - this week, Sean and Vib turn their easily distracted attention to the (allegedly) forthcoming Warhammer 40K TV series headed up by Henry "No he is a nerd, honest" Cavill. Where on earth do you start with a project that big? How do you keep it on track? How do you make sure you make the right people really mad? No idea, but it's fun to guess!

Warhammer 40K - Are the Imperium the Good Guys?

Hello, and welcome to episode 77 of Expertise is Overrated, where two nerds with an inflated sense of their own intelligence take the time to answer questions no one was asking. We've come to it at last, the great question of our... I mean the future's... time. Is the Imperium, led by the God-Emperor actually a good thing? Or are they just space fascists out to destroy everything non-human and ruin most human lives in so doing anyway? Is it all for the greater good? Is it all bad? Let us know what you think.

Where does the Black Library go after the Horus Heresy?

Hello, and welcome to episode 70 of Expertise is Overrated, where two nerds with an inflated sense of their own intelligence take the time to answer questions no one was asking. Sean has just finished reading the last book in Black Library's utterly insane 57,854,928 book long Horus Heresy. And, sadly, he has opinions. Join us as we work through what appears to be a great deal of deep seated trauma, while trying to work out how on Earth Games Workshop's in-house publisher can follow such a behemoth of a series.

Which Primarch are we expecting for Warhammer 40k 10th edition?

Hello, and welcome to episode 45 of Expertise is Overrated, where two nerds with an inflated sense of their own intelligence take the time to answer questions no one was asking. Tenth edition of our beloved Warhammer 40k is just around the corner, so naturally we give our completely unsolicited (and for once unexpected?) opinion on which primarch we're getting this time.

What caused the Horus Heresy?

Hello, and welcome to Episode 19 of Expertise is Overrated, where two nerds with an inflated sense of their own intelligence take the time to answer questions no one was asking. This time, we're leaping forwards in time 28,000 years, as we ask what caused the era defining Horus Heresy in Games Workshop's Warhammer 40k universe. Was it inevitable, or does it all boil down to "the Emperor was an idiot"?

Who are the Chaos Gods?

Hello, and welcome to Episode 13 of Expertise is Overrated, where two nerds with an inflated sense of their own intelligence take the time to answer questions no one was asking. Today, we ask a critical question. Who, or what, are the Chaos gods from Warhammer Fantasy and Warhammer 40,000. Does Khorne just want a hug? Is Nurgle really a good guy? And what on earth is going on with Khaine?

Ranking the Primarchs from Warhammer 40K

Hello, and welcome to Episode 4 of Expertise is Overrated, where two nerds with an inflated sense of their own intelligence take the time to answer questions no one was asking. In this episode, Vib and Sean provide objectively correct rankings of the Primarchs from Warhammer 40,000. In the process, they answer such vital questions as "Who really won when the Lion fought Russ" and "What even is the point of Perturabo"? Shockingly, they also agree on more rankings that you expect.
