Expect xenos artifacts, corrupted Chaos Space Marines, and an escalating web of conspiracy that ends in absolute Exterminatus on 56-Izar.

    For decades, they were the biggest meme in Warhammer 40k: elves riding dinosaurs in outer space. Now, they finally have a Kill Team box, and we are diving into the lore of the Exodites! Long before the Fall, these puritanical Eldar looked at the absolute degeneracy of their society, packed their bags, and decided to hard-reset their civilization on primordial Maiden Worlds. Bricky and DK discuss the history of these isolationist cousins of the Craftworlders, their deep connection to the World Spirits, and the absolute majesty of physically dominating a massive Carnosaur just to bring it to a gunfight. Plus, we cover the newest lore from the Kill Team box: Fangrippa da Skullbreaka's Beast Snagga Orks invading the sacred Maiden World of Syph.

    ​The Fourth (or Fifth, or technically the Third Part Two) War for Armageddon is here, and things are looking incredibly grim for the Imperium. In this massive episode, Bricky, DK, and Kirioth break down the epic conclusion of the 10th Edition storyline and the explosive kickoff to Warhammer 40k's 11th Edition.
    ​Just as the Imperium thought the Orks were on the ropes after the Season of Fire, Ghazghkull Mag Uruk Thraka initiates a master plan. Using the experimental Mega-Tellyshokka, an entire Ork armada is instantly warped into the system, displacing entire moons and space stations in the process. With Wazdakka Gutsmek's relentless Speedwaaagh! tearing across the planet and encircling Hive Volcanus, all hope seems lost—until a ghost steps off a Space Wolves gunship. Commissar Sebastian Yarrick, Ol' Bale Eye himself, has returned to rally the desperate defense.

From Aenarion pulling the Sword of Khaine to Alith Anar's absolute edgelord energy, who truly is the ultimate High Elf Chad?

    10:00 Devastation of Baal

    We’re finally covering the actual Devastation of Baal in full. Hive Fleet Leviathan is knocking on the doors of the Arx Angelicum, and Commander Dante is fighting through crushing existential dread and survivor's guilt to lead the sons of Sanguinius in what looks like a doomed final stand. DK, Bricky, and Kirioth break down the absolute bloodbath, from Gabriel Seth being the best boy and Ka'Bandha crashing the party uninvited, to Sanguinius forcing Dante to put another coin in the arcade machine of life. 

    This episode features Dante from the Warhammer 40,000™ Series.

    The Hive Mind is hungry, and it's heading straight for the Blood Angels. In part one of our massive Devastation of Baal coverage, we're joined by Kirioth to break down the Cryptus Campaign.

    What was supposed to be the ultimate shield system against Hive Fleet Leviathan turns into an absolute nightmare of frozen bug ships, desperate Cadian last stands, and a Tyranid swarm so massive it literally blacks out the skies. Things get so incredibly bleak that Commander Dante and the Blood Angels have to rely on a literal C'tan-throwing Necron team-up just to buy some time. We cover the tragic fall of the Shieldworlds, the Sanguinor finally breaking its silence, and why Dante is just having the absolute worst week of his long, long life.

    Part 2 coming next week!

    For over 10,000 years, the Dark Angels have relentlessly hunted a mysterious figure known only as Lord Cypher. A Fallen Angel who has played both saboteur and savior, he haunts his former brothers while carrying the Lion's unbroken blade on his back—a weapon he never draws. In this episode, Bricky, DK, and The Amber King dive deep into the grimdark origins of Caliban. We explore the primordial, monster-infested death world; the rise of The Order; and the intertwined destinies of Zahariel, Sar Luther, and Lion El'Jonson. From the treacherous secrets of the Horus Heresy to Cypher's shocking arrival at the Siege of Terra and his eventual journey to the very steps of the Emperor's Golden Throne, we attempt to unravel the Imperium's greatest enigma.

    This week, Bricky, DK, and Kirioth dive deep into the bloody, silent, and downright terrifying lore of the Carcharodon Astra—better known as the Space Sharks. Operating beyond the Imperium's borders as a nomadic predation fleet, these pale, black-eyed killers are driven by a brutal necessity to harvest their own supplies and recruits through the infamous Red and Grey Tithes.
    From their mysterious origins and suspected Raven Guard lineage to the impossibly fast, terminator-clad Chapter Master Tyberos the Red Wake, we're covering exactly why you never want to see these guys show up to "rescue" your planet.

    Think you know everything about the greenest, meanest, and most meme’d-about faction in Warhammer 40k? Think again. In this episode of Adeptus Ridiculous, Bricky, DK, and Kirioth team up to revisit the "You've Been Lied To" series, tackling the chaotic, retcon-heavy history of the Orks. From their earliest space-faring days in Rogue Trader to the modern setting, Games Workshop has fundamentally shifted how these green monsters function—meaning there’s a very good chance you’ve been fed some serious misinformation. We’re splitting this episode wide open to compare the hilarious old-school lore with the contemporary reality. Does painting a trukk red actually make it faster? And why—no matter what the internet tells you—an Ork cannot just pick up a stick, say "bang," and use it as a gun.

    Uriel Ventris is the young captain of the 4th Company of the Ultramarines Chapter of Space Marines.

    Captain Uriel Ventris was born in the subterranean cities of the Imperial Civilised World of Calth in the Realm of Ultramar and chose to become an Ultramarines aspirant when he came of age to participate in the Chapter's trials. He succeeded in his quest and became an Ultramarines neophyte and then earned his way into the ranks of the Ultramarines' officer corps through his bravery and devotion to the ideals of the Ultramarines primarch, Roboute Guilliman.

    However, some of his battle-brothers, like Sergeant Learchus, questioned Uriel's commitment to the Codex Astartes because his friend, mentor, and predecessor Captain Idaeus, though a hero of the Chapter, was known to break the Codex 's teachings regularly.

    CIAPHAS CAIN - HERO OF THE IMPERIUM | Warhammer 40k Lore

    Ciaphas Cain was an Imperial Commissar. He was in active service in the last century of M41, and was over 200 years old when he was recalled into service during the 13th Black Crusade of Abaddon the Despoiler, and it is certain that he survived more than a quarter of a century into M42. Propaganda made him out to be the hero of the Imperium circa late M41 although in truth he was mainly focused on surviving. (However, he differed from many other Imperial commissars in that he would not readily sacrifice soldiers unless it ensured his own survival.) Cain tried his utmost to avoid engaging in actual combat, but had to anyway to maintain his status as a Hero of the Imperium, which ironically involved him in more dangerous situations than any he would usually see as a commissar. He was responsible for many successful campaigns throughout his career and retired to become a professor at a Schola Progenium.

    In M42 the Cain Archive was published among the ranks of the Inquisition. They are sequestered by order of the Holy Ordos, and are kept and organised as the Cain Archive by Ordo Xenos Inquisitor Amberley Vail with whom Cain had many encounters over his career, and shared a close working and personal relationship. It is worth noting, as Inquisitor Vail does in footnotes throughout his memoirs, that Cain was a skilled liar and dissembler, and therefore anything to which he refers that is not independently documented could well be a fabrication to maintain his reputation.
