A Khanate becomes Literal

 Greetings! Welcome! Please pull up a fur by the fire, and have a drink. After all hospitality is sacred to the Khan. 

My name is Daniel and I am without any doubt a complete nerd. A former English and History teacher, as well as a life long gamer. I have also always had a passion for writing. It is a big aspiration of mine to be published one day. In regards to this I hope it will be either for my entries to Black Library, or that I finally finish my book "Cement Pills and Silver Bullets". 

During my time at University I sunk as many units into creative writing courses as I could. Sadly whilst I had some good lessons my biggest take away from those courses were that firstly no one reads your workshop pieces, and secondly that if you want your material read there are far better avenues available. 

This took me to the internet. I would dabble in that great arena of internet literature "fanfiction" before taking up a few competitions. You may have even come across me before and not known. For example if you are a D&D fan who reads Dragon Magazine, then you may have seen my NPC from the Rage of Demons competition.  My NPC Nalvarti Seamfinder was one of the 6 chosen as winners. 



This was a major boost to my desire to keep challenging myself. So when Miniwargaming announced a call for writers to create their Fallout 40K campaign I jumped at the chance. Initially I was selected to write the whole campaign, and I wont lie I was daunted by the task. So i was mildly relieved when they decided to use multiple writers. (You can watch it here: https://youtu.be/uAYU6ETbEig). 


From here I decided to start dabbling in youtube, and start looking at podcasting. Though this would become a goal not met for sometime. I continued to chase that Black Library credit by entering the window though I was not successful. At the time of writing this I am preparing my next effort. 

The one thing a writer wants more than anything is to see their work read. Thus I decided to create this blog. It will present my writing efforts and where possible feedback and reflection. It will also include posts on competitive Warhammer, my foray into Age of Sigmar, and my general musings. 

So again your Khan welcomes you and may you enjoy your stay in the Khanate.

From the Last Church to the last word: An interview with Graham McNeill

Image
         Welcome back members of the Khanate. Today we have a special guest for our readers. If you have been reading this blog for some time now you will be well aware of the my love for fiction. One of my favourite authors being Graham McNeill you can understand my excitement to host him here. As he shares some of his wisdom on writing, 40K, and the nature of writing. Before we begin I want to thank Graham for taking the time to answer some questions from your humble Khan.       KHAN: It is fair to say that you are a pillar, if not some of the base and roof, of the monolith that is Games workshop. With almost one hundred written works of fiction under Black Library, and a number of game design credits spanning a career that reaches back almost two decades. What was it like in those early days?        GM:  That’s kind of you to say so, though I continue to stand upon the mighty shoulders of those who came before me, writers, artists, and miniature designers who dared to dream the

Hobby: In the pursuit of paint

Image
      We are all busy these days, and whilst Papa Nurgle himself reached out to gift most of the world with a chance to stay home and paint with his generous pandemic. The struggle to find time to paint is still one that faces many in this hobby today. I know for a fact that I was chief amongst them, especially with addition of my son. Working full time, and being a new father has taught me the value of finding any spare moment. My hobbying usually takes the bottom rung in the priority ladder of late. This is what led me to create my #LunchHammer initiative.      There is a famous quote from the US Marine Corps that goes 'don't stand when you can sit, don't sit when you can lay down, and don't lay down when you can sleep' . Well for our purposes let us adapt that to our own hobby needs. I took a look at my daily schedule and realised I had one glorious thirty minutes every day to potentially paint. Now thirty minutes does not sound that impressive, however over a we

Is the Hero dead?: Heroes in an a post cynic age

Image
  -R.A the Rugged 'A Philosophy'     As a lay historian I cannot exactly put a finger on the definitive moment in time that began the age of the of the cynic. Perhaps, it was some time between the death of the nineties and the rise of the  naughts. However, somewhere along the way there was a rejection of shiny heroes. Instead pushing for darker, grittier, deconstructed, and more often faulted heroes. An almost counter culture like scenario where instead of mocking going to work in a cubicle and buying into 'the dream', they instead rallied around the idea of not buying into traditional heroes and mocking the idea as immature or unsophisticated. As if to say there is no way that anyone can be good. Yet, I wonder if this new found 'maturity' has not come at a cost, and if we have gone too far. Have we trained ourselves into a landscape where sarcasm and cynicism are the norms we accept. I want to make it clear. I am not against characters having faults, infact I
