Episode 113 - Badab war pt 2 - the war breaks wide open Nov 18, 2025

Show notes

On today’s cast we finish our coverage of the Badab War. Opening with the state of the affairs with the arrival of more space marines into the region. For there we cover the failure of the parley (or was it a failure), and the increase in hostilities. After that we talk about the truth behind the size of the forces of the Astral Claws and the Tiger Claws (surprise). And then the arrival of the Carcharodons to the war and their “unique” style of war. From there we begin the linear progression of the war into the Astral Claws being all alone but still holding there own, until the loyalists come up with a “super special plan.” We the conclude with the post events of the war with the creation of the Red Corsairs from the fleeing Astral Claws, and how the imperium handles the other secessionists.

Episode 112 - The Badab war pt 1 - The lead up to the conflict Nov 11, 2025

Show notes

On today’s cast we begin our coverage of the Badab War. Opening with a breakdown of the real situation between the chapters of the space marines and the Lords of Terra. From there we jump into the Maelstrom sector and the Astral Claws function there, with Huron rising up to seizing control of and then calling himself the “tyrant of Badab,” to which everyone just went “yeah sounds normal.” We then follow the path as the Claws come into conflict with the Kathargo trade lords, and how this conflict eventually led to a full scale war in the sector. Before we finish though we go into the numerous alliances that turned this sector into southern Europe in 1914.

Episode 111 - The Carcharodons! Nov 04, 2025

Show notes

On today’s cast we will be starting our coverage of the Carcharodons! Opening with what the hell is a Carcharodon, and where are they in the codexes? After that we dive into how they function with as solid debate over whether or not they are chaotic good (John believes they are) and then a bunch of examples of why Brad believes they are not. With focuses on how the fleet functions, their support staff (they are not really there willingly) and how they reinforce themselves (also awful). We then dive into how they wage combat and why they are have been sent to the other side of the galaxy. We then close out debating on what each of us thinks their true origins really are.

Episode 110 - The Leagues of Votann pt 3 Oct 27, 2025

Show notes

On today’s cast we will be finalizing our coverage of the Leagues of Votann, with a fun bonus of Brad going into tachycardia during! We open with us complaining about GW killing flavor in 10th edition (again). But then we jump into the leagues themselves, who they are, what their main purpose is, and why they are interacting with the galaxy now as well as where we thing GW will take some of their lore in the future. We then close out with the two named characters (one of which John likes more than the other).

Episode 109 - The Leagues of Votann pt 2 Oct 20, 2025

Show notes

On today’s cast we continue our coverage of the Votann. Starting with the Leagues of Votann society works, between the Kin, Kindred, Guilds and more. We then dive into how the kin interact with both each other and the galaxy at large. From there we talk Hernkyn and the Leagues exploration of the Galaxy. We then jump into the military structure of the Leagues and how they go to war. And of course, we conclude with the grudges of the Votann. Because no coverage of the leagues could be complete without their books of grudges.

On Today’s we begin our coverage of the Votann. We open up with the tabletop history of the Votann with their release during 9th edition, and some of the issues with it lol. From there we cover the more opaque origins of them during the age of technology and what we know and don’t know about them settling the core of the galaxy. After that we dive into the kin themselves and their iron-kin brethren. Then we go into the ancestral cores and how they run the leagues. We then close out on the Votann coming out of the core and interacting more actively with the galaxy at large.

We open with a history of the game itself, when the squats were introduced, how they existed through the early days of the game, and then how they were removed from the game. From there we jump into what was their lore in the time. From them setting the core worlds of the galaxy, their battles with the orks, and then their joining of the imperium (sort-of). We then move into the end of the squats in the universe. We close out on the 15+ years of squat rumors and hints we got from GW, until in April 2022 they returned to the game!

Episode 106 - The Ultramarines, their epic characters! Sep 29, 2025

Show notes

On Today’s we finalize our coverage on the Ultramarines by focusing on the characters of the UItramarines. Opening with the great Torias Tellion! From there the also great Ortan Cassius. But wait there is more great with Sicarius. But none of them had an epic enough cape, so we cover Uriel Ventris. Then we cover maybe the greatest model ever made, ok technically two models Antaro Chronus. We then close out where else but with Calgar.
