On todays cast we complete or coverage of the xenos of the galaxy. Diving again head first into a ton of super random Xenos that GW has written into the game. Although we do start with the Jokaero, so that is awesome! Some others are the Enoulians, Laer, Maug, the Hrud, and others. We also talk a bit more about the times the imperium has made deals with xenos in exchange for technology, and each time they end up killing lots of imperial citizens, and eventually the xenos. Get the show ad free on at: patreon.com/The40kLorecastMerch available at: etsy.com/shop/The40kLorecastYoutube channel: www.youtube.com/@40KLorecastAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

On todays cast we begin our coverage of the random Xenos of the galaxy. Our focus is on some of the Xenos that have no codex. Thes are races that appear in stories, codexes, and some of GW’s side games. Many of these races have only a few (very well written) paragraphs on them in the lore, so it is more of a quick rundown on each of the races. On todays cast we cover: The Tepresi, Cythor Fiends, Caryatids, Rak’Gol, the Slaugth and more.Get the show ad free on at: patreon.com/The40kLorecastMerch available at: etsy.com/shop/The40kLorecastYoutube channel: www.youtube.com/@40KLorecastAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

On today’s cast we conclude our coverage of the Death Watch, the special forces of the Space Marines. We open with some of our favorite weapons and equipment of the Death Watch. Namely we focus on how specialized an borderline heretic their equipment and weaponry are. We also focus on how much of a nightmare it was to play against the death watch as a xenos player during certain editions. After this we spend some time talking about how the Death Watch interact with the other factions of the imperium. Lastly we talk about the overall structure of the Death Watch, with focus on some of their key fortresses and where they got themGet the show ad free on at: patreon.com/The40kLorecastMerch available at: etsy.com/shop/The40kLorecastYoutube channel: www.youtube.com/@40KLorecastAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

 On today’s cast we start our coverage of the Death Watch, the special forces of the Space Marines. We start with a quick overview of what the Death Watch are and then dive a bit into their two different founding stories (one was way better than the other). After that we talk about how a Space Marine joins the Death Watch, both the official and common practice as well as the Black Shield style. From there we focus a bit more on how the Death Watch function as a fighting force in the imperial forces, with their smaller and more specific goals and actions to achieve great success via tiny events.Get the show ad free on at: patreon.com/The40kLorecastMerch available at: etsy.com/shop/The40kLorecastYoutube channel: www.youtube.com/@40KLorecastAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

 On today’s cast we are doing a John special. This cast is a dive into some our favorite broken rules of the game over the past 20+ years. A fun trip down memory lane, some of those memories are little bad for some players. We open with explaining Rules As Written and how that sets up some of these funny interactions. After that we dive head first into some glorious things like: no pre-measuring, guess weapons, custom vehicles, instant death, grey knight and Eldar daemon summoning, invisibility, impossible combat due to base to base rules, and more. We hope you find this fun and funny as we did.Get the show ad free on at: patreon.com/The40kLorecastMerch available at: etsy.com/shop/The40kLorecastYoutube channel: www.youtube.com/@40KLorecastAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
