    Episode 92 - The War of The Beast pt1. A new threat arises.
    Jun 23 2025

    On today’s cast we begin our coverage of the War of the Beast. We open with the setting of the imperium in the middle on M32, where the imperium was actually doing kid of great (thanks Guilliman!) Then we get into the invasion of the chromes and the appearance of the first attack moon. From there everything starts to fall apart as the Lords of Tera do Lords of Terra stuff. Thankfully their hands get forced by the Inquisition and Assassins and the imperium takes action. Only to find their great success undermined by a greater threat.

    On Today’s cast we cover the merchant and naval fleets of the imperium. We open with a breakdown of the segmentum fortresses and their purpose for the merchant and naval fleets.

Started listening to this being brand new to 40k lore. For me it’s the video games that got me interested. John and Brad do a great job covering the 40k universe and are pretty entertaining too. Highly recommend if you don’t know where to start with the lore.

Great Podcast

Absolutely love this podcast! Very informative and entertaining. I have been a 40k fan for awhile and this is by far my new favorite way to dive into the the lore again. John, Brad keep it up!!

Vague.
I assumed, being new to 40K, this would be a good way to jump in. Unfortunately, although John and Brad are very outgoing and entertaining to listen to, they are very vague. I'm still not entirely sure what a lot of the "basic" lore is.
For example I still don't understand if STCs are a program, a drive, a robot, a spirit...?.
I also don't understand if the Warp is a drive, a different dimension, a ship, a black hole, or something else entirely. John and Brad just assume that you'll understand how things function, for example saying "the Warp is now a tsunami". I never explaining why it is "a tsunami". Seems like a fun show to listen to, but only if you already know the lore.
Would recommend the Lorehammer podcast instead.

Fun to listen to, but super vague
