    Episode 90 - Warp Travel in the 40K Universe for the Imperium
    Jun 9 2025

    On Today’s cast we cover how warp travel is performed by the imperium in the 40K universe. We open with how a warp travel functions, as opposed to FTL drives. We then get into the addition of Navigators and Astropaths to the experience of travel, and some canon conflicts therein. After that we move into the Gellar fields, so as to avoid being in the movie Event Horizon. We then dive into warp travel itself, the experience of those doing it. Then we close out with coverage of how the galaxy is segmented, and the great Nexus Automatica

    Episode 88 - Imperial Fists pt 2 - post Heresy Fists, Crimson fists, and Sigismund
    May 26 2025

    On today’s cast we conclude our coverage of the imperial fists, sort of. We open with the conclusion of the Siege of Terra and how it wrecks Dorn. From there we go into the 2nd founding of the Imperial fists (Dorn was not about it), and dorns death (maybe). After that we spend time talking about the legacy of the Imperial Fists post Dorn and how they have preserved his legacy. From there we go into the Crimson Fists, their founding and their role as the Space Marine killers for the Lords of Terra and the inquisition. We then jump into the drama surrounding the sacking of their home world. We then close with the legend that is Sigismund, setting up our next cast on the Black Templar.

Started listening to this being brand new to 40k lore. For me it’s the video games that got me interested. John and Brad do a great job covering the 40k universe and are pretty entertaining too. Highly recommend if you don’t know where to start with the lore.

Great Podcast

Absolutely love this podcast! Very informative and entertaining. I have been a 40k fan for awhile and this is by far my new favorite way to dive into the the lore again. John, Brad keep it up!!

Vague.
I assumed, being new to 40K, this would be a good way to jump in. Unfortunately, although John and Brad are very outgoing and entertaining to listen to, they are very vague. I'm still not entirely sure what a lot of the "basic" lore is.
For example I still don't understand if STCs are a program, a drive, a robot, a spirit...?.
I also don't understand if the Warp is a drive, a different dimension, a ship, a black hole, or something else entirely. John and Brad just assume that you'll understand how things function, for example saying "the Warp is now a tsunami". I never explaining why it is "a tsunami". Seems like a fun show to listen to, but only if you already know the lore.
Would recommend the Lorehammer podcast instead.

Fun to listen to, but super vague
