On today’s cast we finalize our coverage of the World Eaters. We open  with the legion just after Angron has ascended to Deamon hood and immediately decide that Horus and his plans are lame. We then move to the invasion of Sol and the ascension of Kharn to being Khorne’s favorite. And from there we begin to follow Kharn hard as he breaks the legion and moves them to their true roots of blood for the blood god, and skulls for the skull throne!Patreon:www.patreon.com/The40kLorecastOur Website:https://the40klorecast.com/Discord Link:Discord.gg/40klcAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

On today’s cast we continue our coverage of the World Eaters with a deep dive into the legion post the events on Ghenna. We open with a deeper dive into the butcher’s nails with a focus on their affect on Angron himself. After that we go into Angron in effect purging his own legion of anyone not fully loyal to going ham on the crazy train. This then leads us into the confrontation between Angron and Leman, which results in Angron being sent to the other side of the galaxy to crusade solo, which just allows Khorne to get a better hold on the legion. We then move to Isstvan 3 and 5 and the actions of Angron there. We then close with Angron ascension to Daemon Prince of Khorne.

Today on the history of 40K we talk about the act of picking up the game of 2nd edition 40K. How you found playing partners, where you learned the game. We also talk about the physical game itself. From a era long forgotten of mail order catalogs and magazines. Also what you do when the models arrived how to build them, paint them, and where to go for advice on such things. So join us on a deep dive into a forgotten era of the world pre-internet.Patreon:www.patreon.com/The40kLorecastOur Website:https://the40klorecast.com/Discord Link:Discord.gg/40klcAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
