    (Video) How To Homebrew 5: Adeptus Mechanicus

    *Ad Free Version available on Lorehammer Patreon, link below.*In this episode of Lorehammer, we break down how to write your own Adeptus Mechanicus homebrew lore. From Forge Worlds and ancient machines to the Skitarii, Tech-Priests and the Cult Mechanicus, we explore how to build a faction that feels distinctly Mechanicus while still having its own identity. We discuss how to use existing lore as a foundation, create believable traditions and conflicts, develop unique technologies and forge worlds, and avoid making your faction feel like a copy of something already established in the setting.Lorehammer Patreonhttps://www.patreon.com/c/lorehammer/membershipOne Time Donationshttps://paypal.me/lorehammerpodcastLink to all Linkshttps://linktr.ee/Lorehammer40k

    (Video) How To Homebrew 4: Inquisition

    *Ad Free Version available on Lorehammer Patreon, link below.*The Inquisition is one of the most flexible institutions in Warhammer 40,000, giving you almost limitless possibilities for homebrew characters and stories. In this episode of Writing Homebrew, we break down how to create your own Inquisitor, from the three Ordos Majoris and the countless Minor Ordos to their personal beliefs, Puritan or Radical philosophy, retinue, resources and investigations. We’ll also look at the Inquisition’s most powerful military allies, including the Grey Knights, Deathwatch and Adepta Sororitas, alongside the countless Imperial forces, specialists and levies an Inquisitor can call upon. Most importantly, we’ll look at how to build an Inquisitor who feels like more than a powerful character with a Rosette, by giving them a distinct philosophy, a personal history, people they trust, enemies they hunt and difficult choices that can shape the fate of entire worlds.Inquisition Builderhttps://docs.google.com/document/d/1dcX8YkiF_eeyLZKFrUmUqOoazYp0XnYSqmVPk91KLwQ/edit?usp=sharingLorehammer Patreonhttps://www.patreon.com/c/lorehammer/membershipOne Time Donationshttps://paypal.me/lorehammerpodcastLink to all Linkshttps://linktr.ee/Lorehammer40k

    (Video) How To Homebrew 3: Adepta Sororitas

    *Ad Free Version available on Lorehammer Patreon, link below.*The Adepta Sororitas are far more than just women in power armour carrying boltguns. In this episode of Writing Homebrew, we break down how to create your own Sisters of Battle Order, from their beliefs, saints and traditions to their missions, convents, culture, characters and enemies. We’ll also look beyond the Orders Militant and explore how to build a wider Adepta Sororitas organization with Hospitallers, Pronatus, Dialogus and other non-militant Orders. Along the way, we’ll look at the common mistakes that can make Sisters feel like nothing more than a different colour scheme or a more fanatical version of an existing Order, and how giving them a distinct faith, purpose and history can make them feel like they truly belong in the 41st Millennium.

    (Video) How To Homebrew 2: Imperial Guard

    *Ad Free Version available on Lorehammer Patreon, link below.*What makes a homebrew Space Marine Chapter feel like it truly belongs in the grim darkness of the far future? In this episode of Writing Homebrew, we dive into the Adeptus Astartes and explore how to build a Chapter from the ground up, from its founding, gene-seed and homeworld to recruitment, culture, beliefs, organization, combat doctrine, wargear, enemies and history. We’ll look at what makes a Chapter unique without breaking the setting, which rules are worth bending, which ones are better left alone, and some of the common mistakes that can turn a cool idea into lore that just doesn’t quite fit. Whether you’re creating your first Chapter or trying to take an old one and make it feel more complete, this episode is all about building Space Marines with a history, identity and reason for being.
