The 40k Lorecast

On Today’s episode we dive into the Adeptus Custodes. We start with the process of making a Custode, both the creation and training of them. We then move into their history within the Imperium and what their purpose was for the emperor and how it evolved as the imperium grew and changed. We then move into their resurgence at the conclusion of Abaddon’s 13th black crusade. We then finish with a dive into the stories of Valdor and Trajan.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 episode we conclude (for now) our coverage of the Eldar. We dive into the weaponry and vehicles that the Eldar bring to bear on the battlefield. With some especial fan-boying about how broken and annoying they have been over the editions. We then jump into Wraithhosts who are both amazing and, in the case of the Wraith Knight, game breaking. Because we had some time left over, we decided it was a good time to tell the first part of the Ynnari story so as to set up some future casts about them.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
