The 40k Lorecast

On today's cast we return to the Necrons with a focus on Szarek the Silent King. We open with a recap of the Necron history but this time with a focus on the Silent King and his role in it. We then move toward his adventures in the void of space and what he found out there. From there we take a turn into the true nature of the Necrons, through the infinite wisdom and character of Trazyn. We then close with the actions of the Silent King upon his return to a galaxy that is completely on fire.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 todays cast we jump into the great enigma that is Cypher in Warhammer 40k. With a focus first on the origins of the fallen and a short detour into John complaining about Luther again. From there we go through the history of the Dark Angels interactions with Cypher as we try to unpack his true motives and true alignment in the universes. After that we then dive into our personal theories on who and what Cypher truly is.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 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.

On today’s cast we begin our coverage of the World Eaters. We open up with the creation of the 12th legion and their role as the emperor’s dogs of war. From there we flip over to Angron, his discovery on Nuceria, and the nightmare of his upbringing there. We then follow his rise through the gladiatorial pits and the subsequent implantation of the Butcher’s nails in his skull. We then cover the emperor coming to Nuceria and effectively kidnapping Angron. After that we flip over to Kharne and his early rise through the legion. We then close out with the first implantation of butcher’s nails into the World Eaters and the legion’s descent on the road to Khorne.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 do a side topic coverage of the crusades of the Imperium. We open up with what a crusade is by definition. We then talk about what the crusades really are in function and behavior. From there we use examples to show what the crusades really are. With a dive into a number of key crusades such as the Macharius, Aegisine, Jerulas, Margin, abyssal and more.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

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

On today’s cast we close out our coverage of the war of the beast. We start with what becomes the final invasion of Ullanor and the slaying of the beast (for real this time). But after that we jump into the post effects of the war of the beast, starting with Vangoich killing all the lords of Terra. After that we talk about the corruption of a space marine chapter and their fall to chaos as a backdrop to the war of the beast. We then close out with how the war of the beast affected the imperial citizens, the organization of the lords of terra, the space marines, and the inquisition. We then close talking about how it affected the orks!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 war of the beast. We open with the invasion of Ullanor. On paper it looked like it was going to go great, but it did not. From there we go back to Terra with the formation of the Death Watch. Then we follow the rediscovery of the Sisters of Silence and a new plan for how to kill the beast. We then close out with the second invasion of Ullanor.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
