    Blood Bowl is a miniatures board game created by Jervis Johnson for the British games company Games Workshop as a parody of American football. The game was first released in 1986 and has been re-released in new editions since. Blood Bowl is set in an alternate version of the Warhammer Fantasy setting, populated by traditional fantasy elements such as human warriors, goblins, dwarves, elves, orcs, and trolls, as well as elements unique to the setting such as the rat-like Skaven.

    The Iron Sultanate, officially the Great Sultanate of the Invincible Iron Wall of the Two Horns that pierce the Sky, is a Muslim state and the most prominent Islamic nation in the world. A continuation of the Sultanate of Rûm, the Iron Sultanate is most well known for its Iron Wall - A vast and massive bulwark, tens of thousands of kilometers in length, encircling the Sultanate whole. The nation was formed at the end of the great Muslim migration, with the closing of the Gates of al-Qarnayn in 1109. The Sultanate rules over parts of Anatolia and the Levant, and primarily borders lands controlled by Heretic forces. The leader of the Sultanate and its army is the Sultan, or Padishah, which functions as a hereditary title.

  • You’ve been LIED TO about NURGLE | Warhammer 40k Lore

    Nurgle is the Chaos God of despair, decay, and disease. He was the third to awake of the four Gods of Chaos, fully coming into existence during Terra's Middle Ages, with plagues sweeping across continents in the wake of his birth. His titles include the Plague Father, Fly Lord, Great Corruptor, Plague Lord, Master of Pestilence, Lord of Decay (the Dark Tongue translation of his name is, Nurgh-leth). The desperate, ostracized and dying come to Nurgle to find alleviation from their pain. To these potential devotees, Nurgle provides not redemption from their ailments, but rather comfort within their suffering. Those blessed by Nurgle are granted relief from physical pain as well as a bizarre satisfaction in their depressive state. It is a twisting of a being's perceived reality, turning delusion and denial into truth and acceptance, just as self-respect and vanity turn into monstrous self-satisfaction.

    Nurgle and his daemons, in contrast to their putrid appearance, are jovial and friendly in demeanor. His daemon servants and mortal followers usually demonstrate a disturbing joviality and joy at the pestilence that he inflicts, seeing the plagues as gifts and the cries of their victims as gratitude rather than agony. This is demonstrated on the Daemon World of Bubonicus, where an endless chain of crazed revelers circles the planet's equator in a never-ending dance.

a really fun podcast about the wacky world of 40k

if you have a smallest interest about the Warhammer 40k universe this is one of the best podcast for you!

the hosts have really good synergy and match energy really well! The show gets better by the episodes and also include spin-offs that include true crime.

the show is mainly for newcomers to 40k in mind and they give a really good explanation because one of the hosts "DK" is also a newcomer and is a good conduit for asking questions that a more seasoned person in that world not ask.

my main criticism about the podcast is that they are going over big subjects with a broad brush so if you are already deep into the 40k lore it can be a bit of a bore compared to the more singular event focused videos / podcasts.

With that out of the way, i wholeheartedly recommend this podcast if you even have the slightest interest in the wacky world of Warhammer 40k!

So much fun!

I love listening to these lunatics. While Shy's contributions are lacking in this format, I'm happy to be able to listen in the background, especially without needing a YouTube membership. Without this podcast, I doubt I would have gotten into Warhammer. I especially love the book club episodes.

Was a fun recap

I mean, as perfect as Fulgrim wanted to be, he didn't listen to the Emperor for shit. The whole thing would have been avoided if he had just listened to Big E and started hacking away at the xenos and burned everything they got in fear of chaos lingering in the unknown. The harsh guidelines were in place to keep chaos at bay without telling humanity of the greater powers that dwell in the warp. Basically, he didn't want his monkeys tempted by the fact that there was another option/route to obtaining power.

Fan since the start

Loved these guys from years back. Almost wild to realized that I've lived in two different countries, moved four times, got two degrees and through all of that listened this podcast. Love it.
