From its fortress bastions guarding the Imperium’s southern frontier to the blood-soaked battlegrounds of the Octavius War, where Orks and Tyranids clash in apocalyptic struggle, this is a domain where trade convoys, crusading fleets, and alien hordes collide in endless strife. Here, Imperial strength is tested against the ceaseless hunger of xenos and the creeping shadow of heresy, and only the most resolute defenders hold the line. We’ll explore its war-torn worlds, its key strongholds, and the role Segmentum Tempestus plays as both shield and crucible for the Emperor’s realm.Lorehammer Patreon⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/c/Lorehammer One Time Donations⁠⁠⁠https://paypal.me/lorehammerpodcast⁠⁠...Link to all Links⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/Lorehammer40k⁠⁠

Here, countless worlds teeter on the edge of ruin as the Great Rift cleaves reality itself, unleashing horrors upon an already beleaguered frontier. Yet within this chaos stand beacons of Imperial might: the Ultramar system, ruled by the legendary Ultramarines, a shining bastion of order amidst the dark, and the Baal system, homeworld of the noble but cursed Blood Angels, who wage eternal war while struggling against their own tragic flaws.

*Ad Free Version available on Lorehammer Patreon, link below.*In this episode, we explore the tragic and heroic arc of Sanguinius during the Horus Heresy—a tale of prophecy, burden, and unwavering nobility. As the galaxy burned, the Angel faced visions of his own death with dignity, guiding his Legion through despair and darkness. We trace his fateful journey through the Ruinstorm, his confrontation with the daemonic entity Madail on the cursed world of Davin, and the heavy choices he made to preserve hope for the Imperium. From defying temptation to embracing sacrifice, Sanguinius stands as a symbol of honour in a time of treachery. This is the story of a Primarch who knew his doom and walked toward it, wings spread wide, for the salvation of mankind.Lorehammer Patreonhttps://www.patreon.com/c/lorehammer/membershipOne Time Donationshttps://paypal.me/lorehammerpodcastLink to all Linkshttps://linktr.ee/Lorehammer40k

I have to disagree that it is necessary to start with a small self-contained, or at least self-explanatory, story to get into WH40k. Myself, I started with a premise - fantasy world in space, except everything is different! - and from there dived into each aspect to see how the WH40K version differed. I think the first aspect I dived into was the Warp because "how does magic work?" is always a question on my mind. That might not work for everyone. It might be specifically for me because I attach more to lore than to characters, but I suspect I am not special.

New to the hobby. Found this to help increase my lore knowledge. Still early in the series and plan on seeing it through. That being said, the amount of diversions and interruptions created by Erik to make points that do not serve the narrative or the discussion, but seem to only serve his ego are driving me crazy. Please tell me it gets better in the later episodes. These episodes would flow so much better and be 30-40 minutes shorter without these pointless tangential arguments.

Used to play 40k in the 90s as a teenager, then lost touch with it until recently and was intested in how the game and the lore had changed over the years. So this podcast is everything I need in learning and re learning the fascinating universe of Warhammer. These guys do a great job of explaining everything in detail while keeping it interesting
