Hey, I'm Alex! I help grown-up nerds get into Warhammer, LOTR, D&D, Star Wars, and board games - without the overwhelm, the gatekeeping, or needing to spend 100 hours on a wiki first. If you've always loved these worlds but never quite felt like you belonged in them, you're in exactly the right place. New videos every week!

Getting into Warhammer 40,000 lore can feel overwhelming. There are hundreds of books, thousands of years of history, and a lot of skulls. So here are 5 beginner-friendly Warhammer 40K books that fans recommend again and again, each paired with a 40K video game that matches its story.
📖 Xenos by Dan Abnett + 🎮 Rogue Trader
The most recommended starting point in 40K. It's a detective thriller following Inquisitor Eisenhorn, and you need zero lore to follow it. Rogue Trader lets you work alongside the Inquisition yourself in a story-rich RPG.
📖 For the Emperor by Sandy Mitchell + 🎮 Darktide
Meet Ciaphas Cain, a cowardly commissar who keeps getting called a hero by accident. It's the funniest way into the lore. Darktide has the same feel: ordinary humans, awful odds, great banter.
📖 First and Only by Dan Abnett + 🎮 Dawn of War: Definitive Edition
Gaunt's Ghosts is Band of Brothers in space, following ordinary Imperial Guard soldiers. Then take command of the Guard (and 8 other factions) in the classic RTS.
📖 Brutal Kunnin by Mike Brooks + 🎮 Shootas, Blood & Teef
40K told from the Orks' side, and it's chaotic and hilarious. The game is pure Ork run-and-gun mayhem. WAAAGH!
📖 Space Wolf by William King + 🎮 Space Marine 2
Space Vikings with all the adventure and less of the grimdark. Then become a Space Marine yourself, with a Space Wolves Chapter Pack if you want to go full Ragnar.

I want to start a new series: NERD CONFESSIONS.
I want your most unhinged, unbelievable or mildly concerning gaming/hobby stories.
Warhammer. D&D. Video games. Conventions. Hobby shops. Whatever.
Something you’ve done. Something you’ve witnessed. Something somebody has said to you. A purchase you absolutely could not justify. A game that ended a friendship. I genuinely don’t care.
Submissions are completely ANONYMOUS, so this is your opportunity to tell me the thing you would NEVER attach your username to.
I’ll pick some of my favourites and react to them.
Confess your nerdy sins below 👇

You’re choosing TWO of my videos next week.
Zero input from me. Zero interference. Mildly terrifying.
Comment what you want me to cover and I’ll pick the two most popular suggestions.
Go wild. No spice.

I need you to click this link. It’s not what you think, you filthy animal.

It’s completely anonymous, so behave accordingly.
I want THREE things from you:
1. Ask me literally any question you want.
2. Tell me something I NEED to watch. Film, TV show, documentary, interview, random YouTube video… anything.
3. Tell me something I should read. Book, comic, article, lore rabbit hole… whatever you think I’d love.
I’m going to go through your answers, so make them interesting 😂

JUDGEMENTAL FAMILY MEMBERS/FRIENDS
Last Christmas someone watched me open a gift and said "oh did you accidentally wrap one of the kids presents for Alex?" in front of the whole family.
Everyone laughed. I didn't.
Because what they were really saying is that caring about this stuff is childish. That you should've grown out of it. That there's something slightly embarrassing about a grown person getting excited about a hobby.
I disagree. The people who say that usually don't have anything they're genuinely passionate about. They've forgotten what it feels like to care about something for the joy of it.
You haven't. And that's worth protecting.
Has this happened to you? Drop it in the comments.
