Lorehammer - A Warhammer 40k Podcast – Details, episodes & analysis

**DISCLAIMER**

TAU ARE NOT COMMUNISTS

The Tau are not communists. They're the exact opposite of communists.

Communism believes in:

1. The dictatorship of the proletariat
2. The abolishing of all class and caste systems
3. The right and necessity of the working class to control the means of production
4. The abolishing of private property and the holding of all things in the common good. (NOT the "greater good", that's Utilitarian garbage that means something very different)
5. An actual communist would hate the Tau. The Tau are Plato's Republic. They're rigid, ultra-hierarchical technocrats where a tiny elite caste (the Ethereals) own and control everything .

An actual communist would want to:

1. Abolish the Caste system
2. Kill the Ethereals (The Ethereals are like the pure embodiment of everything Marx hated about western capitalism and oligarchies, the wise philosopher-kings who believe they have the right to control everyone else's lives)
3. Distribute means of production and defense (including technology and weapons) among the different members of the former castes
4. Establish some kind of state council so that things like food and education could be centrally managed and given out to those in need. (Pretty much the exact opposite of what the Tau would want to do).

People who call the Tau "space communists" are either totally ignorant, or they're deliberately playing into the somewhat racist stereotypes of Asian people that the Tau embody. Don't do that. But also have fun.

*Please refer to Episode 29 for further insight on the above.

Welcome back to Lorehammer, where we explore the bright future of the Warhammer 40K universe. Today, we're shedding light on the Kor'vattra, the dynamic and visionary space navy of the T'au Empire. The Kor'vattra isn't just a fleet; it's the embodiment of the T'au's hope for a unified galaxy, where cooperation and progress reign supreme. Designed with cutting-edge technology and guided by the principles of the Greater Good, this fleet is a marvel of efficiency and precision. From its powerful Lar'Shi class cruisers to the nimble battlesuits that dance through the void, the Kor'vattra is a testament to the T'au's belief that a better future can be built, one carefully planned step at a time. As they venture into the stars, the Kor'vattra carries with it the optimism of a people who see endless possibilities in the cosmos, always striving to bring their vision of peace and prosperity to every corner of the galaxy.

In the lightless abyss of Commorragh, The City of Terror in the heart of the Webway, where shadows feed on despair and cruelty is a currency, one figure reigns supreme—the master of malevolence, Asdrubael Vect. He is not merely the lord of the Kabal of the Black Heart; he is the architect of agony, the undisputed tyrant of Commorragh, and by extension, the Dark Eldar race itself.

You finish your daemonic prayer to the Lords of the Waste. Your unholy invocation leaves your lips. Power grows within you. You raise your arms above your head and prepare to cast down the enemies of your Master when... it ends. The power, the pain, the blessing, all disappear. And there, striding through the haze of your euphoria, a diminutive human, in muted silver armor, the gorget covering the lower portion of her face. She stalks toward you, eyes trained on yours until it feels like nothing else in the galaxy matters except for your imminent end. A scream escapes you as she approaches. Her eyes smile as she gives you your forever doom.

In this episode we discuss all things Sisters of Silence! These wordless warriors are Humanity's ace in the pocket for dealing with the Immaterium, and in this episode you'll find out why. Joining us for this episode are James, and Matt, a traveler all the way from the UK!

Towering warriors clad in bright golden armor. Beings so holy that to see one is to be blessed by the God-Emperor Himself. They act of their own accord, ensuring everything they do is for the continued protection of the Savior of Humanity. They are the Adeptus Custodes, the Right Hand of the Emperor, and they bring death and destruction upon their foes.

Aaaaaaaaaaand we're back! Sorry for the late release folks, as some little nurglings infested our computer and deleted our recording! Clearly this information is very important and so we did our very best to make sure that you get it! In this episode, we talk about bodies. Specifically, heavenly bodies. More specifically, we talk about how the Imperium classifies all planets within the galaxy. It might not be the most exciting episode (we'll do another space marine episode at some point... maybe), but it is actually quite interesting, especially for all those people that like to world-build within the 40K universe!

Joining us for this episode, is Colyn.

An adoring fan drove 3 hours just to hang out with us! WOWZA! Jk he was just in the neighborhood. We sat down with Brodie and had a chat that ranged from Tau, to new Ultramarine releases, to who knows what. Don't bother listening, its definitely not worth your time.

Slavery to freedom. Abandonment to brotherhood. Betrayal to devotion. These and many more were promised to those Astartes that left the Imperium to join their brother's cause and rebel against the Emperor. In a world where your only value is the measure of what you can do for Humanity, it's no wonder that it's members can feel alone. In this episode, we discuss what a Heretic Astartes is, how they came to be, and how they continue to exist.

Joining us for this episode are Tim, and for the last time, Chris.
