About this listen

Lifelong Warhammer fan Bricky and grimdark greenhorn Dkdiamantes delve into the incredibly vast ocean that is Warhammer 40000 lore in this unofficial Warhammer 40k podcast. From superhuman space warriors to depraved cultists and green-skinned Mad Max rejects, not even the most ridiculous aspects of this setting are off the table for these two mad men.

    We finally did it. We read the most cursed, infamous, and absolutely unhinged trilogy in Warhammer 40,000 history: Ian Watson’s The Inquisition War.
    ​Back in 1990, before the lore was established, Games Workshop tapped an award-winning sci-fi author to introduce the universe. The result? A disaster featuring Inquisitor Jaq Draco and a retinue that includes a Squat and an assassin who had surgery to transform into a "sexy" Genestealer.

    ​In this anniversary episode, we suffer so you don't have to. We’re diving deep into the absolute madness.

    ​Humanity was peaking during the Dark Age of Technology... until the robots revolted, the Warp storms hit, and the lights went out. Join us as we dive into the absolute dumpster fire that was the Age of Strife (Old Night), from the rise of the Men of Iron to the Techno-barbarian warlords ruling a radioactive Terra. It’s robots, demons, and anarchy, and as we discuss in the episode, it was definitely "not poggers" as the kids say.

    With the release of Warhammer: The Old World and new lore books, we finally know the truth about what lies behind the Great Bastion. It turns out, the "Dragon Emperor" isn't just a fancy title. In this episode, we are heading East to uncover the history of the Celestial Dragon Xen Yang, his moon-born mate Quai Yin, and their children who walk among humans. ​We’re diving deep into the tragedy of the Spirit Dragon, why Cathay claims to have invented gunpowder before the Dwarfs (don't tell the Dawi), and the time Miao Ying brought a literal "Killdozer" fleet to the Old World to save the Empire from Chaos.

Honestly I love it. Takes the grimdark world of 40K and presents it in a lightheated and comical way. They don't take themselves or the lore too seriously and it's their biggest strength IMO.

Best 40K lore podcast I've found.
