    Episode 73 - Random Xenos of the Galaxy pt 2

    On todays cast we complete or coverage of the xenos of the

    galaxy.  Diving again head first into a

    ton of super random Xenos that GW has written into the game.  Although we do start with the Jokaero, so

    that is awesome!  Some others are the

    Enoulians, Laer, Maug, the Hrud, and others. 

    We also talk a bit more about the times the imperium has made deals with

    xenos in exchange for technology, and each time they end up killing lots of

    imperial citizens, and eventually the xenos.

    Episode 72 - Random Xenos of the Galaxy pt 1

    On todays cast we begin our coverage of the random Xenos of

    the galaxy.  Our focus is on some of the

    Xenos that have no codex.  Thes are races

    that appear in stories, codexes, and some of GW’s side games.  Many of these races have only a few (very

    well written) paragraphs on them in the lore, so it is more of a quick rundown

    on each of the races.  On todays cast we

    cover:  The Tepresi, Cythor Fiends,

    Caryatids, Rak’Gol, the Slaugth and more.

    the special forces of the Space Marines.

    success via tiny events.
