Episode 143 - Legion of the Damned, yeah turns out they were a little over the top.
On today’s cast we take a trip into the Legion of the Damned. A super fun and exciting space marine faction that got their own codex in 6th edition, and then promptly were removed from the game due to being horribly OP. We go over what they are, how they function in the galaxy and what is kind of known about them. We then review the three main theories on their origin with a little bit of us theorizing about what we believe them to be.

Bonus Episode - Our Takes on 11th Edition
Brad and John Discuss the Launch of 11th Edition with their excitement and reservations about some rule changes and updates to the game. Big thank you to other people for having GW give them advanced copies of the rules and then publishing them, because we sure as hell were not on that list of advanced copies...

Episode 142 - Space Hulks, yeah.... they can be kind of a nightmare
On today’s cast we jump into the massive nightmares that are Space Hulks in the 41st Millenia. What they are, where they kind of come from (technically we don’t know).

And they we jump into a bit on some of the more famous Space hulks through the lore.

On today’s cast we conclude our coverage of the Raven Guard. Opening up with the events of Isstvan 5 and the almost destruction of the Legion. From there we follow Corax as he goes back to terra to get the original gene seed of his legion (unknowingly brining a bunch of Alpha Legion along). And then the events over the course of the rest of the Horus Heresy. Next we talk about Corax in the warp and the nightmare he has turned into for the traitors. We then close out with the more recent Raven Guard lore of Shrike and Shaan.

Episode 140 - The Raven Guard pt 2 - Corax remakes the Raen Guard in his own image
On today’s cast we continue our coverage of the Raven Guard. With Corax arriving at his legion and having a solid WTF moment at how they behave. Then his fixing of the legion and their divorce from the Night Lords. From there we jump into their actions in the later part of the Great Crusade. And how those moments taught Corax a lot more about the galaxy and the imperium. We also jump into the special units and tech of the Raven Guard and how they use them to great success.

Episode 138 - The Night Lords pt3 - Konrad seriously annoys the Lion, and eventually meets his doom
On Today’s cast we conclude our coverage of the night lords. We open with maybe the most consequential event of the entire Horus Heresy, Sotha. And then jump back to the adventures of Konrad as he plays hide and seek with the Lion, and then the Lion and Guilliman. Only to later both breakup the Triumvirate as well as save the imperium (by accident?). We then follow him to his final death (or was it really a suicide), and the subsequent breaking up of the legion.

Episode 137 - The Night Lords pt2 - Konrad joins the Heresy and does both a good and terrible job at the same time
The Forty K-Lorecast dives into the chaotic and self-destructive saga of Konrad Curze, the Night Haunter, exploring his descent into madness, his fractured leadership, and the Night Lords' bizarrely counterproductive role in the Horus Heresy. The episode blends lore breakdown with irreverent humor, questioning whether Curze was a tragic antihero or just a whiny psychopath who ruined everything he touched.
