Videos from this year's Warhammer Conference are being posted on their YouTube channel: www.youtube.com/@WarhammerCo... It was, once again, a great conference full of people talking about the game, the universe it's in, the history of GW, etc.

This one is me, talking about plague narratives in 40K, and how much they make sense from an epidemiological perspective. TLDR: If it's @guyhaley.bsky.social odds are it's pretty good! www.youtube.com/watch?v=vZG1...

Hey, thanks for that. That's really cool to hear that I got it right. It's very important for me as a writer that all the magic space stuff has a firm, believable background, because then it makes it easier to buy into.

I often try to use science to do this, but a lot of the time my research isn't profound, I do a bit of reading or simply apply logic to the situation. Logic led me to the Ultramaran quarantine protocols, so that's a win for me!

As an aside, GW aren't overly dictatorial about what we write. It was actually my idea, having been introduced to Cawl while writing Dark Imperium, to feature him the distant past as a young man. Interestingly, someone else, simultaneously, wrote about him being old in that period of 40k's setting.
