What’s worse in the Warhammer 40K universe: being flayed alive by the Drukhari, turned into corpse starch, or spending eternity as Servitor Santa?
In this episode of Rogue & Blasted, we push grimdark “Would You Rather” questions to their absolute limit — and somehow make them worse.
This episode dives headfirst into the darkest corners of Warhammer 40,000, mixing brutal lore, dark humour, and real talk about the hobby. Alongside some truly cursed scenarios (corpse starch mince pies included), we also break down the reality of competitive Warhammer — what it actually takes to win tournaments, why most players never break into the top tier, and when the game stops being a hobby and starts becoming a job.
We also recap the year in Warhammer, discuss GTs vs RTTs, tournament goals for next year, faction loyalty vs meta-chasing, and the uncomfortable truth behind coaching, practice time, and competitive obsession.
If you love Warhammer lore, grimdark humour, tabletop gaming podcasts, or honest discussions about the hobby — this episode of Rogue & Blasted is for you.

In this episode of The Rogue & Blasted podcast, the lads break down their favourite and least favourite armies in Warhammer 40K to face off against. From Custodes and Eldar to Blood Angels, Space Marines, and Votann. Expect plenty of banter as they dive into player stereotypes, “honest” vs. “dishonest” armies, and the realities of competitive play (including questionable tournament habits). Along the way, they tackle classic “Would You Rather” dilemmas, share personal tabletop experiences, and settle a very important debate: Guardsman vs. Termagant who actually wins? It’s faction talk, hot takes, and classic Warhammer humour all round.
