Four Years of YOUTUBE! AMA Question Thread!
Added 2025-02-05 09:45:29 +0000 UTCYouTube recently informed me that I've been doing this channel for FOUR YEARS!
So, I'm gonna do a 'state of the channel' video and announce some changes, and what better time to combine it with an AMA, so ask me stuff and I'll answer the stuff!

Congrats. And as for questions: How do you manage to keep a grip on the enormous lore of 40K, and not feel swamped? Also: which retcon has made you the saddest?

2025-02-23 20:58:49 +0000 UTCBy far my favorite you tuber. Thank you for all the lovely videos. Here’s a weird one. I know you are not a fan of the Black Templars. If you had to find something nice to say about their lore or model range what would it be? Also what’s your favorite games workshop publication ever? I’d have to go with the Armageddon codex from 3rd edition.

2025-02-11 02:31:37 +0000 UTC4 years is absolutely wild. I remember finding your 40K timeline video, then going back and watching the Adeptus Arbites and Squats videos and wanting more. I have a couple questions: - Is there any area of 40K lore that you wish you could have more information on? - Is it just 40K that you plan on focusing on, or would you ever consider breaking in to the Fantasy side of things? Also, many thanks for all the great videos over the past 4 years :)

2025-02-08 18:22:56 +0000 UTCCongrats! Has there been a video you’ve planned/started but abandoned because another Loretuber has released? Or do you not pay attention to the ‘competition’?

2025-02-07 21:46:59 +0000 UTCHow is it four years already?? :D It's quite rare for a Warhammer/Lore youtuber to organise events like you started to do with the To4G Horus Heresy and most recently Badab. Was that always planned, or did it "just happen"? And were you worried that it would all go horribly wrong when you put the call out for the first Heresy event for people to join?
Makariel
2025-02-07 17:27:05 +0000 UTCWhat’s your favourite thing about being a Warhammer YouTuber? And what’s your worst?
Mira Manga
2025-02-07 16:36:57 +0000 UTCLet's start with the obvious -- if you were starting over, Feb 2021 again, what would you do differently -- not do X, start doing Y earlier, etc? What's your favourite piece of headcanon or unofficial lore? Which unreturned but possibly still alive Primarch (so not Ferrus or Sanguinius) should just be killed off-screen and left dead?
Callum Finlayson
2025-02-06 21:43:21 +0000 UTCIf you were given the ability to rewrite a piece of 40k lore with any artistic liberties. What would you rewrite and why?
Cody
2025-02-06 20:09:59 +0000 UTCWhat was your favourite miniature as a youngling?
Huw Price
2025-02-06 19:01:48 +0000 UTCWhat would be your dream hobby project ?
Cyberfossil
2025-02-06 05:40:45 +0000 UTCCongratulations! I would love to know what you would consider top 3 must-read warhammer novels for all fans
Iain Hale
2025-02-06 03:48:58 +0000 UTCwhat was your favourite era of 40k? Can you tell us about your strongest nostalgia for the game? for me it was 2008 when I was living in Edinburgh and playing weekly with the ELG. Codex: Daemonhunters had just come out and the chunky metal grey knights models were epic! thanks so much for the amazing content, you're keeping my childhood alive!!
Simon Kaye
2025-02-06 00:45:42 +0000 UTCHow do you personally feel about the current state of Warhammer and Games Workshop? Do you think the computer games, collabs with card games, shows and videos are overall positive, or do you agree with the idea they are diluting/dumbing down the deep lore of the universe?
Simon Kaye
2025-02-06 00:44:52 +0000 UTCCongratulations and thank you for all the awesome videos! Which videos or series have been the most rewarding or fun for you to put out there? Would love to see a few more Horrible Heretics!
JD Hassel
2025-02-05 19:25:22 +0000 UTCCongrats on four years! To ask a common question very broadly: is there a faction, character or lore entry that revisiting for a lore video or Book Club has changed your opinion on?
Philip Coulam-Jones
2025-02-05 16:44:57 +0000 UTCWhich primarch that’s not yet returned would you most like to see in 40K?
James Larner
2025-02-05 15:16:31 +0000 UTCWhy are you so awesome?
Jose A Godoy
2025-02-05 14:59:48 +0000 UTCAs an informed chap who knows a lot about how the lore has changed over the years. Has there ever been a “retcon” that made you go “hang on a sec what’s all this about now?” Or are you so Zen that you are not bothered by such things, as after all it is all made up?
Chris Davis
2025-02-05 14:47:26 +0000 UTCKeep up the awesome work! I always recommend you to friends as an "out of world lore channel" due to yhe way you mix lore bits with real life business decisions by GW. I have 2 questions. What's the best biscuit and tea combo? Eg earl gray with a hobnob or lapsang souchong with a bourbon. What's your favourite snack to help get through a tedious load of painting?
CLARKIE
2025-02-05 13:28:28 +0000 UTCAre people who got into WH40k in the 80s and 90s inhabiting the same universe as those who got into it in the 2000s? I’m not gatekeeping, I just sometimes worry that they’re missing the joke.
GammaWu
2025-02-05 13:14:49 +0000 UTCWhat are some themes from early 40K that you would like to see the company return to?
B
2025-02-05 12:07:33 +0000 UTCCongratulations, and thank you for being such a genuine positive force in the community! Modern GW seems to put a lot less emphasis on the satire element of 40k. What’s something obviously satirical from early Warhammer you wish was still emphasized?
Wynne
2025-02-05 12:05:22 +0000 UTCCongrats on the milestone Ian. Your approach to the behemoth that is 40k lore is as ever fresh & original. Do you think after the seeming success so far of The Old World, GW would look into re-releasing and reworking any of the old specialist games or board games? In the current climate of remakes and remasters being so successful in video games & movies etc. I think it would make sense for the company as well as making us gamers very very happy.

2025-02-05 11:54:47 +0000 UTCWow! Congratulations on 4 years!
Zac Cullis
2025-02-05 11:44:58 +0000 UTCWhat video was the most fun to research and put out
James B
2025-02-05 10:57:39 +0000 UTCOutstanding and congratulations on reaching another milestone. If you could get GW to reissue any game from their back catalogue. What would it be and would you make any changes to it?
Jim Busher
2025-02-05 10:54:48 +0000 UTCYou’ve previously said you’re not a fan of painting, so look for efficient batch processes to get a good end result. What is the favourite army scheme you’ve developed and why?
Tony Shannon
2025-02-05 10:43:53 +0000 UTCIs there any 40K fiction you dislike so much you've sworn not to review it either because it's just bad or you find its subject matter distasteful. Thinking 'Damnation of Pythos' level bad writing here
Thomas Perry
2025-02-05 10:36:53 +0000 UTCIs there a product or peice of lore that you previously did not like but have since come around on since starting your channel?
Will2B
2025-02-05 10:01:38 +0000 UTCWhat’s one piece of old hammer lore you’d like to see explored in the modern setting in a similar way that the squats have been
Jack Digan
2025-02-05 09:56:16 +0000 UTCCongratulations and well done! Q: Which is your favorite Horus Heresy book? I’ve read 12 of them and for me it goes to The First Heretic by ADB.
