We talked once about the horrid machinations of chaos, now lets get deeper. Now lets talk more about all the fun Daemon Engines used by Chaos Space Marines and Dark Mechanicum alike. So lets be like a statue and get thrown into the Heldrake of this bit of lore!

Today we are getting into fanfiction! Not really but kind of. We are making our own custom Space Marine chapter. A right of passage in the Warhammer Community and a personal love of mine. Hope you enjoy the Bronze Owls!

While as a podcast, we love to talk about how to play this game and save money, but just outright buying less models can't be a proper solution right? Well we might be here to tell you just that. From Kill team to 1k point armies, we talk about the different ways to play the game before you ever hit 2,000 points for your army.

Short answer, yes. Long answer, yes because holy moly is it expensive to play Warhammer. There's though a lot to be said not just about why you should, but how you should responsibly.

This week on Heretic Hammer Marshall and Dylan discuss The Lion, Son of the Forest by Mike Brooks. Lion El' Jonson returns to the 40k universe and we have opinions on it!

This week we discuss the concept of making your own subfactions in 40k with both design and getting started with homebrewing your own lore in the game.

This week we discuss the many ordos of the Imperial Agents or the Inquisition. While they may be few, they are not without power, in fact they have the most power of all the Imperium. Though some like the astartes may not always agree, the power of the Inquisition is not to be questioned!

The Daemons of Chaos are innumerable, incalculable, and many other words that start with in. Whether they are here to help, hinder or both the daemons of the chaos gods have a knack for anything you can think of and more, but they also have a number of units you can field in the game!

Today we talk about the most and least honorus of those in the Imperial war machine. It's time for Imperial and Chaos knights. Step into the throne mechanicum, mind meld with the machine spirit and wage some war! With all the giant mechs to boot!

This week I tasked Dylan with finding 10 models that raised the most questions. Safe to say they weren't what I was expecting but are definitely ones that raise good questions for a new player.

This week we discuss the different ways and paints that you can paint models for Warhammer. Though, you could apply this to any miniature painting.

Starting up with our hobby talks as Dylan gets ever closer to his first game of 40k we have to start talking about building and painting those dang models. However, what are some things that might catch up a new player? We'll discuss that today!

The Tyranids are next on the lore docket along with their preemptive nightmares the Genestealer Cults. However, they are more than just their dumb bug stereotype. The Hive Mind has more to it than meets the Old One Eye.

Time to get all these stinking flesh beings off our lawn! Today we are talking about one of the originals of the galaxy in the Necrons. We will talk all about the good the bad and the robots in our breakdown of 40k's space Egyptian terminators.

This week we talk the nuns with guns in the Adepta Sororitas, or the Sisters of Battle. Powered by their faith in the Emperor these warrior women of the ecclesiarchy. This also happens to be Marshall's main army so the excitement to share their ways knows no bounds!

Like when any good channel runs low on ideas, We have good ol' tier lists to give us the content we need. Today we'll go over all the video games of Warhammer 40k, at least that are still available, and rate them where Marshall thinks they belong.

In the deepest parts of Eldar webway lies the city of Commorragh. Home to the darkest most vile beings in the galaxy known as the Drukhari. A group with three distinct cultures there is a lot to cover between them all. Let's hope we at least don't get captured and suffer for all eternity.

The Craftworld Aeldari or Eldar have gone through quite a bit in the millions of years since the fall. However now they hope to stage a comeback and this time maybe with some fun warrior type and maybe a dinosaur or two. The last one only if James Workshop would be cool.

Given the gift of the Emperor's geneseed, the Grey Knights are space marines trained with the most psychic gifts and are humanity's secret protectors of Chaos. Just don't let them know you've heard of them.

The Leagues of Votann have a unique history in 40k. They once were known as squats, but now they hold a new identity that is unique and quite interesting, even if it is brief compared to the other factions.

The Emperor's Praetorian Guard have stood against the threats to the golden throne for millenia. Now we will discuss the new lore that's been added and everything you need to know of the Emperors Guardians of the Ten Thousand.

Da boyz are comin and they are krumpin! Get you choppas and you shootaz and get ready for the WAAAAGGHHH!!! Der's more to ork than meets the eye, so get into de episode ya git!

Today we talk about a group that are part of the galaxy's longest scavenger hunt. Masters of machines the Adeptus Mechanicus follow the way of the Omnissiah and bring the technology to the Imperium of Man in the great many ways of horrid destruction. Learn what you need to know to get started in this faction overview.

This week we talk often one of the most neglected xenos factions of the game the T'au empire. They are blue, they have hooves, they don't have noses, but they do love the greater good. Oh and mechs, they LOVE mech suits.

Today we talk about the great many trillions that give their lives for the Imperium in the name of the Emperor. Whether they be the most lowly guardsmen to the Baneblade, they are covered here and how they could be your favorite faction.

So we talked about the loyal marines last time now it's time for the ones with spikes, skulls and magic powers. Wait, they both have that. These ones REALLY don't like the Emperor though.

This week it's the poster children of 40k, the Space Marines. This time it's those loyal to the Imperium and how their primarchs affect their legions.

So 40k has a lot of background lore and this episode we'll cover all the basics of that lore. Over millions of years war has caused the many factions of 40k strife and many have perished. This has caused chaos not just for the timeline, but for daemonic powers. So a lot to go over in one episode but we'll do it!
