The Implants & Augments Used to Make a Space Marine | 40k Lore

Trigger Warning!* This episode covers topics such as body modifications and surgical enhancements.

Joshy informs Zakky (and you) about the not-so-wonderful process of taking a young human boy and turning them into the Astartes super-soldier that graces our tabletops and video games. Fun fact: they receive 22(!!) of them.

TTP Field Manual is brought to you by Joshy and Jonny, best friends and tabletop gaming tragics from the local group Trust the Process Hobbies. Die-hard fans of tabletop gaming, we use this podcast as a platform to share our ramblings about the hobby (though we cannot shut up about Warhammer).

By day, Joshy is a therapist; by night, an RPG aficionado raised on Final Fantasy and years of crafting his own Dungeons & Dragons worlds. Jonny, a technician, spends his downtime conquering more video games than Joshy can keep track of.

Our occasional guest Zakky has a passion for buying things he then has to build.

Thanks for listening!
