Sorry for the week off! I've had an extremely turbulent life this past few weeks, and simply forgot that last Monday was a Monday. Here we are though, back with the Chaos Space Marines forces, with some welcome humour towards the back of this entry. Like my readings of GW literature?

In the ongoing evolution of Oldex, this time I'm separating the lore from the army entry stats, as the majority of feedback suggested following the unit entries in last season's Codex Tyranids.

The Tyranid Army List - Codex Tyranids, 4th edition 1:04:25

4M ago1:04:25

1:04:25

I don't know why I read everything, but I did. I'm exhausted at the moment, my brain wasn't even thinking about what to exorcise or edit, it just saw words and verbalised them. What do you think of having literally all the stats in there as well as the fluff? On the one hand, its completionist, on the other, is that even a good thing in this case? …

Hive Fleet Leviathan - Codex Tyranids, 4th edition 21:34

5M ago21:34

21:34

The current stars of the 40K show make their earlier mark here, a great set of jaws swallowing the galaxy from beneath. Interesting to note that so much of the current storyline is being pulled from this far back, with heavy emphasis being placed on the Octavius sector here as well. It was the setting at the launch of the most recent edition of Kil…

Once more duty calls me to try and narrate a graphic as spoken word.

The Ultramarines are mostly Roman-themed (from modern-day Italy) and Chaplain Ortan Cassius has a mostly knackered face, so that's where I was going with that voice.

Repeat Viewing - An Oldex Halloween Special 11:51

9M ago11:51

11:51

Greetings, listeners. A key component of the Warhammer 40,000 universe, and indeed the grimdark genre it spawned, is horror. As a massive fan of Warhammer 40,000 (obviously) and the horror genre, and given that it's Halloween, I couldn't resist spinning a scary story myself. So often the focus of horror in 40K fiction is, justifiably, the Warp and …
