Ep. 5 — Gods of Chaos (And the One They Don't Talk About)

Season 1 · Episode 5

Thursday, July 2, 2026 • Duration 53:07

Blood, plague, change, excess — and one god the other four would rather pretend doesn't exist.

In Episode 5, Si and Jay break down the Ruinous Powers: the four Chaos Gods who sit at the dark heart of the Warhammer 40,000 universe. We're talking Khorne the Blood God, Nurgle the Plague Father, Tzeentch the Architect of Fate, and Slaanesh the Dark Prince — the twisted deities born from the raw emotion of every sentient being in the galaxy.

And then there's Malice. The fifth one. The renegade. The outcast who exists specifically to tear the others apart.

Two ex-soldiers. One lore expert. One total noob. Zero reverence.

What the 40k?! is the podcast for people who want to understand Warhammer 40,000 without wading through a library of codexes. New episodes drop regularly on Spotify and YouTube.

S1 Ep 4 - The Primarchs (Part 2) | The Lost, The Fallen & The Back 9 | Warhammer 40K Lore

Season 1 · Episode 4

Thursday, June 4, 2026 • Duration 01:22:57

The Primarchs are back... and things only get weirder from here.

In Part 2 of our Primarch deep dive, we tackle the remaining Primarchs of the Imperium, covering some of the most iconic, tragic and controversial figures in Warhammer 40,000 lore. From noble heroes and legendary warriors to traitors, madmen and everything in between, we're breaking down the back 9 Primarchs in true What The 40K?! fashion.

As always, Si is still trying to make sense of the grim darkness of the far future while Jay attempts to explain thousands of years of lore without causing a Warp breach.

Expect plenty of questions, confusion, questionable jokes, and some surprisingly deep discussions about the sons of the Emperor.

Whether you're completely new to Warhammer 40K or you've been painting Space Marines for years, this episode is designed to be an entertaining and accessible look at some of the most important characters in the entire setting.

Grab a brew, join the discussion, and prepare for more Primarch madness.

What The 40K?! – A Warhammer 40K podcast for veterans, newcomers, and everyone stuck somewhere in between.

S1 E3: The Primarchs Explained (Part 1) | The First Nine Sons of The Emperor

Season 1 · Episode 3

Thursday, May 21, 2026 • Duration 01:12:43

The Emperor created twenty superhuman sons… and somehow almost all of them became a galactic HR nightmare.

In Episode 3 of What the 40k?!, Si and Jay finally tackle one of the biggest topics in Warhammer 40,000 lore — the Primarchs.

This is Part 1 of our dive into the legendary demigod leaders of the Space Marine Legions. We break down who the Primarchs are, why they were created, how they shaped the Imperium, and why half of them desperately needed therapy instead of armies.

Expect lore, laughs, chaos, and probably Jay losing his mind at least once.

In this episode:

What Primarchs actually are
The Emperor’s grand plan
The scattering of the Primarchs
The first nine Primarchs
Their Legions and personalities

Whether you're brand new to Warhammer or already drowning in plastic crack, this episode is a beginner-friendly introduction to some of the most important characters in 40k history.

Part 2 coming soon…
