On today's episode we dive into the origins of the Ruinous Powers.  How the warp went from a tranquil see of power to a nightmare realm that is ravaging the materium.  Who's fault was it, how did it happen, why does GW do lame writing that makes no sense on this topic, and more.  We then do a shallow dive into each god as we will next be doing deep dives into each of them.  Finally we conclude with Chaos Undivided because why wouldn't we take some time to talk about Be'lakor?

On today's quite long episode we talk about what is a Space Marine.  We realized we could not talk about a Space Marine without also talking about their power armor.  Rather than make two short episodes we just did a super long one. 
Today we start by talking about how a Space Marine is recruited, tested, and then turned into a Space Marine.  Do at least 2 of the organs serve no function?  Yes!  We then we dive into what happens when you add a super suit of armor to a super soldier.  *Spoiler alert* some of the lore around what can and can not negatively affect a space marine does not line up great with the tabletop rules *cough cough, night fighting. poison weapons, popping smoke, cough cough*
