There are many different Imperial Guard regiments in service to our great Imperium, though few have the reputation of the Death Korps. Born into service, if you can call it that, they are tenacious, reckless, and dangerous. Their entire lives are spent in the trenches of the Emperor's battles, their only release is death given in His name. They are a Cult of Sacrifice; birthed only to die, living only to kill. This episode is all about the Death Korps of Krieg! The regiment is absolutely awesome, a perfect representation of the horror of war in the 41st millennium. Joining us for this episode is James, and a brand new guest, Josh, who just so happens to be a new 40k player, in the trenches with the Kriegsmen.

79 - Death Korps of Krieg

In this second episode of our Flora and Fauna focused releases, we go through several of the Dark Heresy role playing games published by Fantasy Flight Games including the Dark Heresy Core Rulebook (2008), Dark Heresy Game Master's Kit (2008), Dark Heresy Edge of Darkness (2009), and Dark Heresy Disciple of the Dark Gods (2008). We scoured them to find all the examples of non sentient life we could! As it turns out... almost all of it wants to eat you... go figure.  Joining us for this episode are Rio and Brianna!

78 - Bestiary and Herbarium Pt. 2

After three years it was brought to our attention that we had never fully addressed the issue of Psykers within the galaxy. Once we were informed of our lacking, we set about to rectify the situation immediately, crafting with the utmost of care an episode worthy of such a grand, mysterious, and undeniably terrifying subject. Enjoy.

77 - Psykers

With the advent of 9th edition and Games Workshop's #new40k, we decided to create an episode that we think highlights the most important aspects of Warhammer 40,000. This episode is meant to be a place where those who have little to no knowledge of the universe can learn just enough to get their gears turning. There are many different ways to experience the grim darkness of the far future, and this episode will hopefully give you enough direction to choose a path catered just for you! Joining us for this episode, is our faithful friend James, Bane of Mantis Shrimps.

What is Warhammer 40,000

Chaos is all around us. It permeates our every action. It whispers an ancient truth in every ear. It fulfills our every desire and grants us power beyond our wildest dreams. All it asks in return, is your gratitude. Your devotion. Your worship. Truly I say to you, Chaos is worthy of your sacrifice.   In this episode we discuss the idea of an Undivided Chaos. Worshiping Chaos shouldn't be limited to just one god, as all deserve your attention.    Joining us for this episode are Sam, and for the last time Chris. 

76 - Chaos Undivided

What should have been a triumphant reclamation of Tau worlds in the wake of the Damocles Crusade became a mark of shame for the Tau Empire. One Tau's struggle to protect his people from the terrors of space turned into a rebellion against his masters. In this episode, we talk about the trials and tribulations that O'Shovah went through, and how the Expedition evolved from a crusade of righteousness to a force which would crack their very belief in the Tau ideology. Joining us for the first time in this episode are Logan and Corbin. If you want to get involved with our Liber Malleus project, check out our Facebook.

75 - The Farsight Expedition

Science so advanced it baffles the simple mind. Captured star hearts and contained singularities are just a couple of the ways that the Necron wage war. The magnitude of their brilliance is only subdued by the scope of their imagination. Their machines float above the carnage they dole out, crackling energy discharging from weapons to flay their enemies molecule by molecule. Doom has come. In this episode we talk about the many different vehicles that the Necron race wages war with. Joining us for this episode are Rio and Micah.

74 - Necron Warcrypts

The Imperium would have you believe that the Tyranid race follows a simple rule, "Cut off the head, and the body soon follows." And while there is an essence of truth in that statement, it does not mean your fight is any less dangerous. They would have you believe that the Tyranid species that find themselves out of the range of their synapse are dumb and helpless creatures. Allow me to assure you; they are not. The fight for your life has only begun. This episode is all about the Tyranid species that don't have a direct link to the Hive Mind, and about how they act when they cannot be controlled by the Hive Mind. Joining us are James and Iain.

73 - Tyranids: Non-Synapse Creatures

Welcome back to our Listener Lore episodes! We took a small break from them as we focused on other aspects of Lorehammer, but we're back in full force now! Back and better than ever!

For this episode we read about Raaptors987's Astartes the Stormbreakers, Joshua's Necron the Nyuserra Dynasty, Tomas' Sisters of Battle and the Order of the Crimson Lily, and Alex's Orks the Bleachskullz.

Concerning Orks and the Warp. Manifesting warp energy has always been risky business, and nobody knows this better than the Ork. An unfortunate circumstance of the Ork race is their inability to control their tides and ebbs of power. Orks being Orky tends to unconsciously generate more Waaagh! energy around them, and Orks do love to be Orks. This has catastrophic consequences for Weirdboyz, and any other Orks around them. Please listen to episode 72 for more information about this peculiar phenomenon within the Ork species. This episode is all about the Waaagh! energy built up by the Ork species, and how they deal with it. Joining us for this episode are Jordan and Skyler.

72 - Waaagh! Energy and Weirdboyz

The sands of the arena. Millions of screaming blood-thirsty Drukhari. You awaken to these, and your heart sputters as your stomach drops. Your death is soon. You know it, the captivated audience knows it, and the Wych stalking you is the reason. There is no escape once you are in the coliseum. There is only death. And it can't come fast enough... Because first, you must learn pain. In this episode we talk about Wych Cults! These Drukhari fulfill a very special role within the Labyrinthine Dimension, keeping the masses satiated. Joining us for the first time, is Brianna, and Chris for the last time.

71 - Wych Cults

You never saw it coming. It sneaked up on you, like the first solar snow of the cycle. You slowly look up from the blade piercing your belly into the eyes of a Space Marine. You spit. They are filthy creatures, brainwashed servants of a Corpse-Emperor. You raise your pistol for one last shot, and your vision fades. In a violent torrent, you burst out of your body. The Empyrean calls, and you feel drawn to its crooning. And yet, something holds you back. Something begins to tug you the other way, back toward reality. You... twist and turn, and there it is, your new haven. Shining as bright as a thousand suns it overtakes your senses, until you see nothing else. Piece by infinitesimally small piece you are drawn into this Stone. This protected place. As the tumult of this experience wanes, you take comfort in the knowledge that She who Thirsts has been denied your soul. Your Path of the Dead has begun. In this episode we discuss what happens to an Eldar after they die. Where do they go? What do they do? And maybe most importantly, why do they do this?  Joining us for this episode are James, and Rio.

70 - The Aeldari Path of the Dead
