We also explore the grim aftermath of the Great Scouring, where Russ and his Legion sought to reclaim the Imperium from the forces of Chaos, the challenges they faced in the years following the Heresy, and the mysterious fate of the Wolf King as he disappeared into the unknown, leaving behind a legacy of both honor and enigma.

Leman Russ, the Primarch of the Space Wolves, was one of the twenty genetically-engineered sons of the Emperor, scattered across the galaxy by the forces of Chaos. He was discovered on the death world of Fenris, where he was raised by a pack of wolves before being taken in by a Fenrisian king. Growing into a warrior of unmatched strength and savagery, he eventually proved himself to the Emperor in a legendary duel and was granted command of the VI Legion. During the Great Crusade, Russ and his Space Wolves became known as the Emperor’s executioners, unleashed to bring compliance to the most defiant worlds and to hunt down traitors with ruthless efficiency. His fierce loyalty to the Emperor and his role as an enforcer of Imperial law made him both feared and respected among his brother Primarchs, particularly as tensions between them grew in the years leading to the Horus Heresy.

Beyond the veil of reality, where madness and divinity intertwine, Chaos Undivided reigns as the purest expression of the Warp’s eternal hunger. In this episode, we delve into the nature of daemons unbound by the rivalries of the Dark Gods—those who embody Chaos as a whole rather than serving a single patron. From the vast, ever-shifting legions of the Warp to the terrifying entities that rise in the name of Chaos itself, we explore the strange, unknowable forces that exist beyond mortal comprehension. What does true devotion to Chaos Undivided mean for these entities, and how do they manifest across the galaxy? Join us as we unravel the mysteries of the daemon legions that serve the will of the Dark Pantheon.

The White Scars are a fierce and nomadic Space Marine Chapter known for their lightning-fast hit-and-run tactics, inspired by the Mongol horsemen of ancient Terra. Descended from the gene-seed of Jaghatai Khan, their Primarch, they favor speed above all else, employing highly mobile bike-mounted warriors and rapid assault forces to outmaneuver and annihilate their foes before they can react. Unlike many other Chapters, the White Scars embrace a warrior's freedom, valuing personal honor, cunning, and adaptability over rigid doctrine. Their homeworld, Chogoris, is a vast steppe where only the strongest survive, shaping them into deadly hunters and raiders. Despite their savage appearance and warlike customs, the White Scars are deeply philosophical, contemplating the nature of war and fate as they carve their path through the endless battlefields of the 41st Millennium.

In this episode, we dive into the White Scars during the Horus Heresy, exploring how the V Legion balanced their fierce independence with loyalty to the Imperium. From their rapid-strike warfare and mastery of hit-and-run tactics to their internal struggles over Horus’ rebellion, the White Scars carved their own path through the chaos of the Heresy. We'll discuss Jaghatai Khan’s fateful decisions, the bitter Shadow Wars against the Alpha Legion, and how the Scars ultimately shaped the fate of the Imperium in its darkest hour at the Siege of Terra.

During the Horus Heresy, Jaghatai Khan, Primarch of the White Scars, found himself caught between loyalty to the Emperor and the temptation of Horus' rebellion, as his Legion was largely isolated from the unfolding civil war. Initially hesitant to commit, Khan ultimately chose to stand with the Imperium, waging a brutal hit-and-run campaign against the traitors. His most defining moment came during the Siege of Terra, where he led his warriors in lightning-fast strikes across the palace defenses, notably engaging the Death Guard and their corrupted leader, Mortarion.  In a legendary duel, Khan fought the Daemon Primarch, suffering grievous wounds but proving the resilience and adaptability of the White Scars. His leadership ensured that the Scars played a vital role in defending Terra, cementing his legacy as a loyal but fiercely independent Primarch.

Jaghatai Khan, the enigmatic Primarch of the White Scars, was discovered on the storm-wracked steppe world of Chogoris, where he rose to power among the nomadic tribes through sheer strength, cunning, and an unbreakable will. Unlike his brothers, he embraced the ways of the land’s horse-born warriors, valuing speed, adaptability, and personal freedom above all else. When the Emperor found him, Jaghatai bent the knee but never surrendered his independence, leading his Legion with the same swift and brutal tactics that had made him a conqueror on Chogoris. During the Great Crusade, he carved through the stars like a lightning bolt, waging war with unmatched mobility, striking where the enemy was weakest before vanishing into the void. Yet, for all his glory, he remained an outsider among the Primarchs—misunderstood, underestimated, but always victorious.

Gork and Mork, the twin gods of the Orks, embody the brutal, anarchic essence of the green tide. Gork is brutal but cunning, striking with overwhelming force, while Mork is cunning but brutal, hitting when you least expect it. Orks don’t waste time on complex theology—worship is as simple as fighting, shouting, and believing hard enough to make reality bend. Their gods don’t whisper in the warp like Chaos deities; instead, they loom over Orkdom as ever-present, unknowable forces, guiding warbosses and WAAAGH!s with instinct and sheer, unshakable conviction. Whether it's a good scrap or a clever ambush, Gork and Mork are always watching—grinning with big, jagged teef.

In this episode, we dive into the tantalizing possibility of a fifth Chaos God—an entity beyond the Big Four that could reshape the balance of the Immaterium. Could it be Malal (or Malal), the renegade Chaos power of anarchy and self-destruction, lurking in the shadows of forgotten lore? Or is the Emperor himself on the path to apotheosis, becoming the so-called "Dark King," a god of order, sacrifice, and war? We explore the hints, theories, and implications of a new force emerging in the Warp—one that could change the very fabric of the Warhammer 40K universe.

Today, we turn our gaze to Slaanesh, the Dark Prince of Excess, the god of pleasure, pain, and unchecked indulgence. Born from the hedonistic downfall of the Aeldari, Slaanesh is a being of contradiction—offering ecstasy but demanding agony, promising perfection yet reveling in corruption. From the decadent halls of the Emperor’s Children to the twisted depths of the Warp, we’ll explore how Slaanesh tempts mortals and daemons alike, drawing them into an eternity of obsession. Prepare yourselves—this is indulgence taken to its most terrifying extreme.

Another deep dive into the dark Gods of the Warp. Today, we turn our gaze to Khorne, the Blood God, the Lord of Skulls, the eternal patron of war and slaughter. Unlike the scheming Tzeentch or the decadent Slaanesh, Khorne demands only one thing—bloodshed. To him, the reasons do not matter; betrayal, honor, desperation, vengeance—all are mere sparks that ignite the never-ending fire of war. His throne, built atop an endless mountain of skulls, grows ever higher with each battle fought in his name, and his warriors, from the lowliest cultist to the mightiest Daemon Prince, care for nothing but the raw, unrelenting fury of combat. Whether it’s the blood-drenched berzerkers of the World Eaters or the frenzied hordes of Chaos-worshiping warbands, all who live by the blade ultimately pay tribute to Khorne. The Blood God cares not from whence the blood flows, only that it does.

The Lord of Decay, the Plaguefather, Grandfather Nurgle—whatever name you call him, this Chaos God is both horrifying and strangely affectionate. In this episode, we dive into the bloated, disease-ridden embrace of Nurgle, exploring his endless cycle of death and rebirth, his devoted followers, and the grotesque gifts he bestows upon the galaxy. From the shambling Death Guard to the daemonic Nurglings that cackle in delight, we uncover the twisted yet oddly joyous nature of Chaos’ most infectious deity.

Tzeentch, the Chaos God of Change, Schemes, and Sorcery, is the ever-shifting force behind the twisting paths of fate in Warhammer 40K. Unlike the brute force of Khorne or the indulgence of Slaanesh, Tzeentch thrives on manipulation, deception, and grand designs that stretch across millennia. His followers—sorcerers, warp-seers, and mad prophets—seek forbidden knowledge, wielding eldritch magics that warp reality itself. But to serve Tzeentch is to walk a path of endless uncertainty, for even the most loyal disciples are but pawns in his incomprehensible plots. In this episode, we unravel the labyrinth of lies, prophecies, and power plays that define the Great Architect of Fate.

In this episode, we delve into the twisted realms of the Dark Gods of Chaos and the endless, malevolent Great Game they play within the Warp. These gods—Khorne, Tzeentch, Nurgle, and Slaanesh—are the architects of corruption, each vying for dominance in an eternal struggle of power, manipulation, and destruction. From the blood-drenched halls of Khorne's Fortress to the ever-shifting maze of Tzeentch, we explore the ambitions, schemes, and dark rituals that fuel their unholy war. Join us as we unravel the terrifying ways in which the Chaos Gods bend mortals and daemons to their will, shaping the fate of the galaxy through the unseen hand of the Great Game.

In this episode, we dive into the grim legacy of the Iron Warriors, one of the most ruthless and methodical Traitor Legions in Warhammer 40K. Known for their mastery of siege warfare and cold, unyielding tactics, the Iron Warriors embody the brutal efficiency of Chaos undivided. We'll explore their tragic fall from the Emperor's grace, the bitterness that fueled their rebellion during the Horus Heresy, and how they continue to wage war in the modern era of the 41st millennium. From their twisted fortresses in the Eye of Terror to their relentless assaults on the Imperium, the Iron Warriors remain a symbol of bitter defiance and mechanical cruelty.

The Iron Warriors, led by their grim and calculating Primarch Perturabo, were the epitome of unrelenting siege warfare during the Great Crusade. Tasked with the most brutal and grueling campaigns, they were the Emperor's hammer, breaking through the most fortified of enemies with relentless precision. Yet beneath the surface, their dedication to fortresses and walls—symbols of their unwavering discipline—was a reflection of the isolation and resentment that festered within them. The Iron Warriors were often overshadowed by their more charismatic brothers, their feats of victory overshadowed by a bitter sense of being underappreciated. This sense of betrayal came to a head during the Horus Heresy. As Horus turned against the Emperor, Perturabo and his Legion followed, embittered by years of sacrifice and what they saw as the Emperor’s cold indifference. The Heresy was not merely a rebellion—it was an opportunity for the Iron Warriors to finally assert their dominance, their hatred for their former masters only growing as they tore the Imperium apart with the same relentless precision they had always known.

In this episode, we delve into the dark and calculating mind of Perturabo, the Primarch of the Iron Warriors, during the Siege of Terra and the Great Scouring. As the Horus Heresy reaches its violent crescendo, Perturabo stands at the forefront of the Chaos forces, relentlessly driving his Legion in the brutal assault against the Emperor’s Imperial Palace. Fueled by a bitter resentment towards his brothers and the Emperor’s perceived rejection, Perturabo takes perverse pleasure in dismantling the defenses of Terra, tearing apart the monumental works of Rogal Dorn. Following the failure of Horus and the death of the Warmaster, Perturabo’s grief and anger are palpable as he leads the Iron Warriors into the Great Scouring. Betrayed by the galaxy he sought to shape, the Primarch's fury only deepens as he embarks on a campaign of vengeance.

Born on the harsh world of Olympia, Perturabo was a child of logic, discipline, and cold efficiency. Yet, from the very beginning, he was burdened by resentment and an unshakable sense of isolation. As the Emperor reclaimed him and placed him at the head of the Iron Warriors Legion, he quickly proved his brilliance as a master of siege warfare, city-breaking, and relentless attrition. But for all his successes during the Great Crusade, Perturabo’s legacy would be marred by bitterness, endless toil, and the suffocating weight of duty.

Teleportation in the grim darkness of the 41st Millennium is a violent, unstable, and often catastrophic affair, where the very act of moving through space is an exercise in brutality. The Imperium's teleporters, housed within the labyrinthine depths of ancient warships and fortress-monasteries, function through arcane calculations and brute-force mastery of unstable energies, violently tearing warriors from reality and hurling them through the raw madness of the Warp before forcing them back into existence—if they survive the journey intact. The Necrons, with their cold and pitiless logic, phase through realspace using ancient and unfathomable technology, vanishing in a haze of crackling energies only to reassemble elsewhere with eerie precision, untouched by the horrors of the Immaterium. Orks, in contrast, embrace sheer chaos, their ramshackle Tellyportas working not through science, but through the sheer force of belief, often flinging their warriors into battle in mangled, screaming masses—or simply detonating them in a spectacular burst of misplaced confidence. The Aeldari’s webway, a labyrinth of hidden paths between worlds, allows them to sidestep the perils of teleportation entirely, yet even they risk disaster should the ancient routes collapse or be invaded by daemonic forces. Across the galaxy, teleportation is as much a weapon as it is a tool—a forceful, merciless manipulation of reality itself, where the price of instant travel is often blood, madness, or obliteration.

In today’s episode, we delve into the terrifying world of the Neuro-nids, an enigmatic and deadly sub-species of Tyranid organisms that wield the full might of the Hive Mind’s psychic powers. These creatures, like the Zoanthropes and Neurothropes, are pivotal to the Tyranid swarm’s ability to dominate the battlefield, channeling the raw psychic energy of the Hive Mind to devastating effect. Their powers range from devastating psychic blasts that tear through both flesh and mind, to more subtle manipulations of the Warp, where they can control and subjugate entire squads of enemies. Neuro-nids are not just psychic weapons but also serve as living conduits, acting as conduits for the Hive Mind to project its will and maintain control over the entire Tyranid swarm. Today, we’ll explore their role in Tyranid strategy, their terrifying abilities, and the implications of these horrific creatures on the battlefield. Stay tuned for a deep dive into the mysteries of the neuro-nids.

Lion El’Jonson, the stoic and enigmatic primarch of the Dark Angels, stands as a figure defined by both tragedy and resurgence. During the Horus Heresy, the Lion was a masterful tactician and relentless warrior, yet his story was marked by mistrust and division, culminating in the betrayal of his closest confidant, Luther, and the shattering of Caliban, his homeworld. While other primarchs fought on Terra, the Lion’s campaign saw him hunting traitors across the galaxy, often operating in isolation, embodying both his strength as a hunter and the secrecy that would come to define the Dark Angels. In the Era Indomitus, millennia later, he awakens as a warrior reborn into a galaxy engulfed in darkness and despair. Unlike his brother Guilliman, who rebuilds the Imperium with a statesman’s hand, the Lion emerges as a lone knight-errant, clad in relic armor, bearing ancient weapons, and stalking the stars to deliver vengeance. From the haunted forests of his past to the battlefields of the present, Lion El’Jonson remains both a savior and a shadow—a warrior out of time, yet perfectly suited for the grim reality of the Imperium's darkest age.

In this episode, we explore the origins of the first Space Marine Legions, birthed during the Emperor's Great Crusade to unite humanity under one banner. These mighty legions, each led by a primarch, were the Emperor’s most trusted warriors, created to bring the light of the Imperium to every corner of the galaxy. As the Crusade advanced, the legions grew in power, but with the outbreak of the Horus Heresy, the Great Betrayal shattered their unity. The aftermath saw the fragmentation of the legions, and in the wake of the Heresy, they were reorganized into the Space Marine Chapters. This shift marked the beginning of a new era in the Imperium, one defined by the stoic and grim heroism of these smaller, more autonomous units, carrying the legacy of the legions in their blood.

We’ll examine the rigid hierarchy of their organization, the wargear that turns them into living embodiments of justice, and the infamous battles and figures that have solidified their fearsome reputation. From the precinct-fortresses that serve as bastions against rebellion to the dark, bloodstained records of their most brutal campaigns, the Adeptus Arbites are more than just law keepers—they are the Emperor’s judgment made manifest. Justice awaits.

In the grim darkness of the 41st millennium, the galaxy is littered with relics of immeasurable power—some revered, some reviled, and some whose true nature lies cloaked in mystery. Today, we explore the ancient Imperial relics, hallowed treasures that inspire armies of humanity, rumored to bear the blessings of the Emperor himself. We delve into the malevolent chaos artifacts, objects warped and twisted by the Dark Gods, able to corrupt even the most faithful minds. And finally, we journey into the strange and dangerous allure of xenos curiosities—alien artifacts of unknown origin, each one a risk, yet a temptation, for those who dare to uncover their secrets. Prepare yourself, for relics in Warhammer 40K are never just objects—they are symbols, weapons, and whispers of the past, each holding a piece of the galaxy’s dark and violent history.

In today’s episode, we explore the Severan Dominate, a faction that has carved out a precarious existence on the Spinward Front. Led by the calculating Duke Severus XIII, the Dominate’s empire spans a collection of worlds, each with its own unique struggles and importance to the cause. From Kulth, a harsh and resource-rich world known for its brutal mining operations, to Kokyotos, a planet whose ancient religious traditions have made it a center of ideological resistance to the Imperium, the Severan Dominate’s territories are as varied as they are vital. Then there’s Ohmsworld, a fortress world on the brink of collapse, where the Severan’s military might is put to the test against constant siege. Each of these worlds plays a crucial role in maintaining the Dominate’s fragile hold on power, navigating the twin threats of external invasion and internal dissent. Tune in as we delve into the challenges, triumphs, and tragedies of the Severan Dominate’s worlds.

Welcome to this episode, where we delve into the complex dynamics of the Severan Dominate, a breakaway faction struggling for survival in the grim darkness of the Warhammer 40K universe.

Simultaneously, the Dominate's military forces execute strategic operations against both the Astra Militarum and the marauding Orks, employing guerrilla tactics and psychological warfare to undermine their enemies' effectiveness. Join us as we explore how the Severan Dominate balances the art of diplomacy with the brutal realities of conflict in their ongoing quest for autonomy and power amidst the chaos of the galaxy.

Welcome to this episode, where we’re diving deep into the towering, teeming hive cities of the Imperium and the lives of the highborn who dwell within them. Hive cities are staggering urban monoliths that stretch into the heavens and sink deep into the earth, housing billions in close quarters under a rigid social order. Amid the grime and endless machinery of the lower hives, the highborn live lives of immense privilege in fortified spires, distant from the struggles below but ever entwined in complex webs of politics, tradition, and family allegiance. Today, we’ll explore what defines these colossal cities, the stark contrast between the worlds of the highborn and the common hive citizens, and the turbulent tensions that hold—and sometimes shatter—the delicate equilibrium within each hive. Whether you’re new to the lore or a seasoned explorer of the Imperium, join us as we uncover the grit and grandeur of these fascinating city-worlds.

In the ages of Old Terra, spanning millennia since the darkness of the Age of Strife, the Emperor reigns from His once-glorious throne amidst the shattered remnants of a once-vast world. He commands not just the fealty of countless souls through the ancient rites of techno-barbarism, but also the allegiance of myriad clans and city-states that sprawl across the ravaged continents. His dominion extends over a world scarred by the horrors of nuclear cataclysm and the ceaseless wars that followed.Yet, even in His embattled state, the Emperor maintains His vigilance. His enigmatic powers pierce through the shifting tempests of the Ether, guiding the warp-tinged fleets that navigate the treacherous expanses between terrestrial domains. Armies march in His name across the ruins of forgotten civilizations, defending against the myriad threats that beset His realm. Foremost among His champions are the techno-barbarian lords, augmented with ancient sciences and clad in armor forged from the bones of extinct titans. Their ranks are bolstered by devoted adherents: the warrior tribes of the steppes, the iron-forged legions of the smiths, and the secretive cabals that wield the forbidden sorceries of the Ancients.To be a leader in these tumultuous times is to command amidst untold tribulations. It is to govern amidst the harsh and blood-soaked customs of a world in constant strife. These are the chronicles of an epoch forged in the fires of an abandoned age. Remember not the allure of lost technologies and arcane sciences, for they are now naught but myth. Forsake the aspirations of progress and enlightenment, for in the grim and savage history of Old Terra, there exists only the ceaseless clash of arms. Amidst the echoing void, there is no respite, only an eternity of conflict and the whispered machinations of the undying spirits.

As the galaxy slowly gets smaller for the Tau, their need for haste to spread the Greater Good only intensifies. With the time between the Spheres shrinking between every Expansion, they are now more than ever driven by a need to have others support their philosophy; to aid them in it’s spread. Desiring to push beyond their Empire’s confines during the 4th Sphere, they invited disaster upon themselves, only compounded by their need to lie and spread propaganda.

“Concerning Squats. We are rather peculiar creatures, content more with our own affairs of mining and trading agreements than the state of the Imperium and the galaxy as a whole. We are stalwart drinking companions, true warriors, and you’ll never find a better or stronger friend than a Squat. While our current predicament is a shame, with the right encouragement and direction, we may yet see a resurgence of the Squat race in our galaxy.” - Ancestor Lord Bilboa, 245.M36This episode is all about Squats! Join us, along with Paul and Chris (for the last time), as we navigate this race of abhumans. As well, take a look at this podcast, called the Hobby Happy Hour, created by Jon and Bob.

Previously released on the Let's Talk Lorehammer podcast, this episode was a meeting of brilliant minds including Mark, Erik, Matt and Bob. Our discord server has undertaken a massive project this past year in its attempt to recreate our version of the Necromunda world and book, which we dubbed the Necrommunity. In this episode we work together to build a hive city from the ground up, thinking and imagining every possible facet of a hive city.The audio was recorded remotely, and therefore is not the usual quality of Lorehammer. We thank you for your understanding!If you would like to be involved with the Necrommunity, please join our discord server! We look forward to seeing your contributions.

The Aeldari have stood on the precipice of obliteration for thousands of years. As millennia pass, so too does the brilliancy that once covered the entirety of the galaxy. Doomed to extinction since their Fall some 15 thousand years ago, they have desperately held on to life for as long as possible, clawing at the skeins of fate, grasping for a future. And finally, that new future has come. Ynnead, the God of Death. Its awakening breathed new life into a race beaten down and tread upon. Its chosen priestess, Yvrainne, binds together the Aeldari, convincing them to abandon old tradition, to shake off their depression, to embrace a new path. She will usher in the destruction of the Great Enemy, She Who Thirsts. And through this, guarantee the survival of her race.In this episode, we cover all things Ynnari! This relatively new faction is ready to fit right into the grim dark reality that is Warhammer 40,000. Joining us for this episode are James and Brant.

Welcome to a brand new kind of bonus episode! After many long years of ridiculing and poking fun at all of your submitted lore, of criticizing sans critiquing, we have taken it upon ourselves to create a confusing mess of an episode to help you do that! We sit down with Chris for his last episode to discuss the nuances and considerations to ponder as you attempt to write your homemade loyalist Astartes Chapter. If you would like access to our document to use for your own creation, or to join in our discussion of what could or should be considered, please join our discord! We look forward to seeing you there!

Excellence. Discipline. Obedience. These three words capture the essence of the Tempestus Scions. If the Imperial Guard are the hammer and the wave, then the Militarum Tempestus is the knife and the poison. These elite troops are trained (read: indoctrinated) from as young as 6, placed into Ecclesiarchal run orphanages to be educated (read: brainwashed) on all the most important of duties (read: complete and absolute loyalty). This episode dives into the life of the Tempestus Scion. Where do they come from? How are they created? What do they do? Joining us for this episode are Logan and Zac!

Savageness to make other Astartes uneasy. A fleet to make any space farer jealous. And enough secrecy to convince any Inquisitor of wrongdoing. The Carcharodon Astra operate in a class all their own. They circle above, watching and waiting for the opportunity to unleash their heavenly rage upon the enemies of the Emperor. Fiercely loyal, and utterly opposed to any that aren’t, they are proficient Space Marine killers. As promised, so we have delivered! Joining us on this episode are Peter, and for the last time, Christian.

The three audio dramas we focused on were; “However Small, However Hidden”, “Hounds of Bedlam”, and “Agtril, the Counterfeit Blade”.

Some Chapters have a history that is detailed through the millennia with glories won, battles fought, and brothers lost. Others keep their histories a secret from prying eyes. Still others have no history to be shared at all. The Minotaurs Chapter has been an enigma since its inception, and those that attempt to uncover its secrets are met with sealed entries and misinformation. They are often seen as little more than beasts in bronzed armor, willing to rip out the throat of their brothers once the order is given. They are set apart from the Astartes, partly their own choice, and partly because many refuse to work with them. In this episode we dive into this mysterious Chapter with all the gusto and aplomb that you can expect from the Lorehammer team! Joining us on this episode are Dylan, and for the last time Chris.

Those that walk the highest path, have the furthest to fall. This is true of the XVIth Legion, whose fate was sealed on the day that Horus was named Warmaster. Though their reputation and combat record far exceeded any other Legion during the Great Crusade, it was their pride and hubris that made them perfect targets for the corruption of Chaos. Now they blaze a path of destruction across the galaxy, forged with fire and death. Their plans are laid, their will is set. They are the Black Legion, and their Gods will have their due. Join us as we dissect the Black Legion in all it’s foul glory. Joining us on this episode for the last time, is Christian.

Without a doubt one of our favorite episode styles, the Bestiary and Herbarium series focuses on the huge variety of creatures and plants that inhabit the Warhammer 40,000 galaxy.

Within a few short centuries, the Tyranid race has spread across the galaxy like an infectious disease. It’s tendrils have stretched to the far reaches of the Milky Way, consuming planets and armies at a terrifying rate. Their numbers are limitless, their endurance is inexhaustible. And yet they continue to grow, change, adapt, and overcome. There are several unique and special Tyranids that completely upend any strategic analysis of the race. These unique evolutions range from infiltrators, capable of complex species and social analysis, to creatures that can destroy planets within weeks. Joining us for this episode are James and Jon!

Fresh from their victory in the Great War of Confederation, and desperate to put the sting of the Farsight Enclave behind them, the Tau prepared for war. With a new understanding that Total War was the state of the galaxy, the Tau poured more and more resources to their military arm. Now armed with more tech than ever, and with an inflated sense of self worth after their victory over the Orks, the Tau placed Commander Shadowsun in charge of their Third Sphere of Expansion. They were not prepared! In this episode, we perform an overview of the Tau Third Sphere of Expansion, while looking into some of the key battles that were fought. Joining us on this episode is Iain.

While most Necron live within the confines of the Dynastic Courts, there are some that don't fit, conform, or belong with the other Necron. They sit on the fringes of the Necron hierarchy, creating their own twisted courts, attempting to claim a semblance of normalcy. Some of these Necron are insane, infected by virus' more ancient and misunderstood than any sickness today. Others are completely rational and have formed guilds or clans that owe allegiance to no Dynasty; no master commands them. In this episode we'll discuss the Necron that exist outside of the Dynastic powers, whether by choice, or by expulsion. Joining us for this episode is James!

In lieu of a real episode (there is one coming don't worry!) we decided to just hit the random page button on the Lexicanum website. Something we all used to do was stay awake into the wee hours of the night constantly hitting random, and then following the links down the rabbit trails. It's always fun to wonder how you got from Solomon Zane to the Aconite Frigate, but that's what madness does to you! Joining us on this episode for the last time is Chris.

The Dark City. A metropolis that exists everywhere, and nowhere. Danger lurks around every corner, your life threatened every second.

Commorragh may be the haven you were searching for... though most likely it is your doom. In this episode we share some of the other groups that reside within the Dark City. These are mainly focused on the Dark Eldar with a few well known creatures from the Archon's Courts. Joining us for this episode are Rio and Micah!

"I walk this lonely Path.

The only Path I ever wish to know.

I don't know where it goes,

But it's all I've ever known, though I walk alone."

- Elder Corsair Prince Bi'Ly Strongarm Some Eldar struggle with the confines with of the Path system, and even rebel against it. Others were born outside of the Craftworlds and never experienced the constraints of the Path. This episode is all about the Eldar that live their lives on the fringes of Eldar society.

A sound overtakes your senses. Your head involuntarily jerks up as you, panicked, search the horizon. It's no use. The Horn continues. As it fails to end a sob escapes your throat. You will yourself to run but your legs don't respond. Your brothers and sisters beside you crumple to the ground at a slight tremor that grows steadily larger. Your terror escalates as there, peaking beyond that bluff, you see it. A God-Engine. A Divine Machine. The weapon in the Right Hand of the Emperor. An Imperial Titan. It's Horn continues to pierce the air. You know what It wants. It has felt your soul, and seen the corruption within it. The Chaos in your heart. And now, It has come to cleanse. This episode is all about Imperial Titans! Buckle down and break out the notebooks because it is long, and it is good! Find us on Spotify, here: https://spoti.fi/lorehammer Joining us for this episode are two very passionate guests for the Adeptus Mechanicus, Colyn, and Micah.

Tall cathedral walls rise into a black ceiling. Incense slowly falls from unseen censures to bathe your senses in holy scents. You breathe deep. Hundreds of armored figures stand in silence, creating a wall of stares attempting to pierce your very soul, constantly searching for signs of corruption. You walk down the hall, your eyes focused on the raised dais at the end of your journey. The end of this journey, and the beginning of another. As you kneel a Chaplain pours holy anointed oil over your head. He steps back as another plants himself in front of you and intones, "Neophyte Stefan, it is decided that today we will speak over you the oath of the Black Templars. It will be your duty to uphold and honor these words to your very death. Forsaking them is forsaking us, our Father Primarch, and the Emperor, Savior and God of Mankind. You will swear these in front of us, as witnesses, and we will hold you accountable to your immortal souls peril. Will you swear?" You raise your head, your eyes burning with fire as the oil slowly runs down your face and neck, "I will swear." This episode is all about the Black Templars! One of our favorite Chapters ever, get ready to hear all about crusading and... well whatever else the Black Templars like to do...

Once again we dove deep into the Lorehammer vaults to uncover this episodes listener submissions. In this episode we read through Redeemable Grace's Imperial Navy story of the Twins of Forgeworld Jupiter, Robert's cold open story of (we presume) a member of the Astra Militarum, Tom's story of an unknown Xenos race, and David's story of the planet Verusia. Joining us on this episode is a very special guest, Paul from Forge the Narrative and 40k Today! It was absolutely awesome to have him on the show, and we look forward to the next time we get to hang out!

There are many different Imperial Guard regiments in service to our great Imperium, though few have the reputation of the Death Korps. Born into service, if you can call it that, they are tenacious, reckless, and dangerous. Their entire lives are spent in the trenches of the Emperor's battles, their only release is death given in His name. They are a Cult of Sacrifice; birthed only to die, living only to kill. This episode is all about the Death Korps of Krieg! The regiment is absolutely awesome, a perfect representation of the horror of war in the 41st millennium. Joining us for this episode is James, and a brand new guest, Josh, who just so happens to be a new 40k player, in the trenches with the Kriegsmen.

After three years it was brought to our attention that we had never fully addressed the issue of Psykers within the galaxy. Once we were informed of our lacking, we set about to rectify the situation immediately, crafting with the utmost of care an episode worthy of such a grand, mysterious, and undeniably terrifying subject. Enjoy.

With the advent of 9th edition and Games Workshop's #new40k, we decided to create an episode that we think highlights the most important aspects of Warhammer 40,000. This episode is meant to be a place where those who have little to no knowledge of the universe can learn just enough to get their gears turning. There are many different ways to experience the grim darkness of the far future, and this episode will hopefully give you enough direction to choose a path catered just for you! Joining us for this episode, is our faithful friend James, Bane of Mantis Shrimps.

Chaos is all around us. It permeates our every action. It whispers an ancient truth in every ear. It fulfills our every desire and grants us power beyond our wildest dreams. All it asks in return, is your gratitude. Your devotion. Your worship. Truly I say to you, Chaos is worthy of your sacrifice. In this episode we discuss the idea of an Undivided Chaos. Worshiping Chaos shouldn't be limited to just one god, as all deserve your attention.  Joining us for this episode are Sam, and for the last time Chris.

What should have been a triumphant reclamation of Tau worlds in the wake of the Damocles Crusade became a mark of shame for the Tau Empire. One Tau's struggle to protect his people from the terrors of space turned into a rebellion against his masters. In this episode, we talk about the trials and tribulations that O'Shovah went through, and how the Expedition evolved from a crusade of righteousness to a force which would crack their very belief in the Tau ideology. Joining us for the first time in this episode are Logan and Corbin. If you want to get involved with our Liber Malleus project, check out our Facebook.

The Imperium would have you believe that the Tyranid race follows a simple rule, "Cut off the head, and the body soon follows." And while there is an essence of truth in that statement, it does not mean your fight is any less dangerous. They would have you believe that the Tyranid species that find themselves out of the range of their synapse are dumb and helpless creatures. Allow me to assure you; they are not. The fight for your life has only begun. This episode is all about the Tyranid species that don't have a direct link to the Hive Mind, and about how they act when they cannot be controlled by the Hive Mind. Joining us are James and Iain.

Concerning Orks and the Warp. Manifesting warp energy has always been risky business, and nobody knows this better than the Ork. An unfortunate circumstance of the Ork race is their inability to control their tides and ebbs of power. Orks being Orky tends to unconsciously generate more Waaagh! energy around them, and Orks do love to be Orks. This has catastrophic consequences for Weirdboyz, and any other Orks around them. Please listen to episode 72 for more information about this peculiar phenomenon within the Ork species. This episode is all about the Waaagh! energy built up by the Ork species, and how they deal with it. Joining us for this episode are Jordan and Skyler.

The sands of the arena. Millions of screaming blood-thirsty Drukhari. You awaken to these, and your heart sputters as your stomach drops. Your death is soon. You know it, the captivated audience knows it, and the Wych stalking you is the reason. There is no escape once you are in the coliseum. There is only death. And it can't come fast enough... Because first, you must learn pain. In this episode we talk about Wych Cults! These Drukhari fulfill a very special role within the Labyrinthine Dimension, keeping the masses satiated. Joining us for the first time, is Brianna, and Chris for the last time.

You never saw it coming. It sneaked up on you, like the first solar snow of the cycle. You slowly look up from the blade piercing your belly into the eyes of a Space Marine. You spit. They are filthy creatures, brainwashed servants of a Corpse-Emperor. You raise your pistol for one last shot, and your vision fades. In a violent torrent, you burst out of your body. The Empyrean calls, and you feel drawn to its crooning. And yet, something holds you back. Something begins to tug you the other way, back toward reality. You... twist and turn, and there it is, your new haven. Shining as bright as a thousand suns it overtakes your senses, until you see nothing else. Piece by infinitesimally small piece you are drawn into this Stone. This protected place. As the tumult of this experience wanes, you take comfort in the knowledge that She who Thirsts has been denied your soul. Your Path of the Dead has begun. In this episode we discuss what happens to an Eldar after they die. Where do they go? What do they do? And maybe most importantly, why do they do this? Joining us for this episode are James, and Rio.

Metal monsters. Amalgamations of alloy and automation. The Legio Cybernetica have been creating nightmares for tens of thousands of years. They have a dark and mysterious past, and would do their best to make sure it remains that way. They are the robotic branch of the Adeptus Mechanicus, and only concern themselves with pure robotics. In this episode we discuss everything from robots to A.I. It's especially good since none of us know what we are talking about. Joining us for todays release are Micah, and for the last time, Christian. Find the Dice and Tears Podcast here, https://www.instagram.com/beyondthedice/

"They were forged for Mankind's darkest hour - and that hour is upon us." — Lord Commander Roboute Guilliman With the resurrection of Roboute, he was able to finally unleash a plan 10,000 years in the making. Calling upon his loyal servant Cawl, a new wave of super soldiers joined the Imperium's battles across the entire galaxy! These fresh warriors would soon be baptized by fire, emerging from the crucible of war as the newest hope for a beleaguered race. These are the Primaris Marines. In this episode we talk about the history of the Primaris Marines. It has been mostly fleshed out at this point, so we figured it was time to put their existence into perspective. Enjoy!

For this last Lockdown episode, we managed to get the cast of the Star Lores podcast in our studio!! What a stroke of luck!

You can expect to find answers to these important issues in this final Lockdown episode. Joining us for this episode is Jordan, and for the last time Chris.

This episode is a love letter to everyone that contributes to the Warhammer 40k universe. All we want to do is see more and more people get into 40k and appreciate it for what it is. We want people to write stories, play epic battles, model awesome minis, and film great shows. And the more that we focus on including people in the artistic process the more ideas and talent that we will have access to. Listen to Colyn share some of the AMAZING success that he has had with his Cold Open Stories. Fully endorsed by Lorehammer. 10/10. Would audition again. No matter that he didn't pick me to be in it. It's fine. I barely even remember the role. It's not like I wrote extensive backstory for him...

Hopefully by this point you've passed the halfway point in your 14 days self isolation. We want you to know that we're here for you. Metaphorically. Figuratively. I mean... stay 6 feet away... but here's a virtual hug from us to you! In this episode, we chat with one of the original fans of Lorehammer. Woody has been listening to us since almost day one, and has supported us tremendously these past almost 3 years!

In this Lockdown we chatted with someone on the other side of the ocean! WOAH! Isn't that just neato? Technology is amazing! I mean, just the other day I was sitting on the couch, watching a youtube video on my tv while I played on my switch while I talked on my phone and music was playing in the room. I might be going crazy. In this episode Matt shares his plan for starting a 40k RPG game that he will host on our discord! As well, we talk about role playing specifically within the 40k universe, and Matt shares many little tidbits and goodies from the perspective of a Game Master.

Dylan had such a great time on his last Lockdown that he wouldn't leave. He pulled out the duct tape, zip ties, and rag gags and locked the door on us. We had no choice but to bow to the Australian power he wielded and create with him another episode. May God have mercy on your ear holes... We hope your isolating is going well! This episode is our gift to you! Joining us on this episode, is Dylan.

This is our first and last ever remote recording. We sat Spenny (an active member of our discord and a fervent believer in Lorehammer) down and chatted with him about his Warhammer 40k journey. We also talk about a couple of the barriers to entry of the hobby, and ways to circumvent them! Enjoy this latest episode of the Lorehammer Lockdown series. Joining Mark and Erik for the first time ever, Spenny.

We hope that you haven't gone crazy yet and that you are firmly saying "No" to the voices that have begun to speak to you from the corners of your mind. But just in case you have started to talk with them, there's a few things you should know. First, always stay in character. It doesn't help anyone's immersion if you flit between personalities all the time. Secondly, the more outrageous and outlandish the accent, the better. Really try to develop these voices that are speaking to you. Create histories for them. Create memories that you can refer back to in order to shape their character. And then, when this is all over, realize that you went too far and now you have a couple friends that will always be with you... ALWAYS. And if you said no, well that's why we're here! To offer a distraction from those pesky boredom daemons. Enjoy this Lockdown episode where we got Peter in to chat about a bunch of our role playing experiences, both inside and outside of 40k.

Recently, Mark spent some time down in the "Sunshine state", in the "windy city" itself! In true fashion of "keeping Florida weird" and making sure that the alligators were sated, Mark met with a fan and had a fun time chat with him! In these times where you can't even go see your friends, we figured there was nothing more beautiful than two soul partners having a meaningful conversation for the very first time. Listen as they fall in love in front of your very eyes- er... ears... Enjoy an episode of Mark and Nic!

Self-isolation driving you insane? Are the pets constantly demanding attention? Is your local gaming store not letting you in, no matter how hard you bang on the glass and plead to be able to have just a single touch of shrink-wrapped goodies like please just one taste sir that's all I want I swear after that I'll leave wait no why are you calling the cops there's no need for this please! In this episode we asked our discord for questions and boy did we get a lot. We do our best to answer them all, except for the ones that we obviously don't care about. Joining us for this is Iain, our painting friend.
