The 40k Lorecast

On today’s cast I tricked Brad into talking about the Lords of Terra by telling him we were going to talk about the Minotaurs. We start with their origins as the magisters temporal, and how that set up some of the “challenges” the imperium would have with them for the next 10,000+ years. Then we move onto the Council of Terra, which also kind of sucked, but was at least functional. Unfortunately we then get to the grand council of ...

On today’s cast we conclude our coverage of the 500 worlds campaign book with the conclusion of the events on Novamagnor as well as the events throughout Ultramar. We open with Titus and crew needed to turn their situation around quickly as they are on the verge of losing the planet. While at the same time Ammentar needs to get his Nightbringer shard and will not be denied it. Luckily they both kind of win? After that we jump into ...

On today’s cast we continue our coverage into the 500 worlds campaign. We open with the retconning of the destroyer curse withing the Necrons. What it is, and how it is evolving in the lore to add a lot of depth to the Necrons. We then talk about Ammentar himself and how he is flipping some of the script on the destroyer curse. After that we jump into the conflict within the Heliodras system. Starting with Titus taking on the hive ...

On today’s cast we jump into the 500 worlds campaign. We open with a breakdown of the state of the galaxy in “modern” 40k. From there we jump into the background of the Imperium and the Necrons. We then go over to the set up of Ultramar and how the campaign there is to work, with a focus on Titus and his role in the campaign. We then close out on the Necrons and the C’tan shards, primarily the night bringer.

On today’s cast we continue our coverage of the Alpha legion. We open with our own theories of what happened to them during the Horus Heresy, did they take different sides, did they go their own path, or maybe they were just weird and ineffective. We then talk about their crazy infiltration during the great crusade and how that set them up for some of their more wild events during the Heresy. Namely the infiltration of the Raven Gu...

On today’s cast we begin out coverage of the great enigma that is Alpha legion. And boy is the a doosy. Opening with the origins of the 20^th legion, or really the rumored origins of the 20^th legion. Their early hints at their existence and purpose, and our theories on what they were really for. From there we go through the numerous stories of Alpharius and Omegon, are they all lies? After those we get into the...
