    The Iron Warriors are expanding their borders, and they absolutely do not care who they have to bulldoze to do it! This week, Bricky, DK, and Kirioth dive into the "Reign of Iron" lore supplement. With the Eye of Terror massively expanded after the fall of Cadia, Perturabo has set his sights on building the "Infinite Citadel" and claiming the highly-valuable Forge World of Agripinaa. But to get there, Warsmith Kravek Morne has to do some serious house cleaning. Listen in as the boys break down the Iron Warriors sneaking up on the Black Legion "Grave Robbers" who were looting Cadia, leading to the brutal execution of Lord Iordax Quan. From there, it's an all-out meat grinder on Toros Tertium against Ursula Creed and the Cadian 8th. And just when you think the Iron Warriors have it in the bag, Darnath Lysander and the Imperial Fists arrive to crash the party—mostly because they just really, really hate Perturabo's sons. Oh, and Eldrad shows up at the end.

    What happens when the biggest hater in the galaxy spends 10,000 years locked in his room with an endless supply of daemonic data? You get the Infinite Citadel.

From ditching Horus during the Siege of Terra to torturing Rogal Dorn into submission at the Iron Cage, Peter Turbo has always played the long game. Now, operating out of the nightmare world of Medrengard, he's weaponizing his resentment to build a fortress system so massive it spans the gulfs between stars. Get ready for the Reign of Iron.

  • Farsight's Bitter Rival: Commander Shadowsun | Warhammer 40k Lore

    In this episode, Kirioth takes the wheel to teach Bricky and DK all about the Supreme Commander of the T'au Empire: O'Shaserra, better known as Shadowsun! From her early days training under the legendary Commander Puretide alongside her bonded rival, Farsight, to earning her famous moniker by assassinating Ork leaders under an artificial eclipse, Shadowsun is an absolute tactical powerhouse. We're diving deep into her mastery of the Kauyon (Patient Hunter) warfare doctrine, her brutal campaigns across the spheres of expansion, and that time she completely humiliated the Imperium by cutting Raven Guard Chapter Master Corvin Severax in half. Plus, things get seriously weird when the T'au's Fourth Sphere Expansion gets swallowed by the Warp and encounters a terrifying, multi-armed Warp Goddess of the Greater Good.

just finished episode 3 and feel comfortable giving it a rating. I'm really enjoying this series. Neat 30 min - 1 hour packages of lore, which often reflects on information given in previous episodes, allowing me to piece the universe together.

I can understand if an expert speaking about what he loves could get carried away and ends up going on a tangent about other related topics, but in this podcast the host successfully tells a story, without straying too far from the topic in hand.

Enough information is given to provide an idea for the warhammer lore, but not an overwhelming amount. Its pace is steady, giving itself time to reflect and laugh at the ridiculousness of the lore, some of which got a chuckle out of me.

I'd highly recommend this to others who want to look into the warhammer universe.

Exactly what I was looking for

I love ad-Ric because it is a light hearted podcast which goes over good lore while making it very enjoyable at the same time. I think that dynamic of DK slowly learning about 40K is great, and I like to think I have learned with him. This podcast is for people who want a laugh and want to learn at the same time, but I would hope is still helpful to those well versed in the gameplay (not me) if they wanted a laugh or wanted to learn about a specific faction, oh and one more thing (shyismyfavouritepersoneventhoughsheisonlyactivein thediscordplskeeponyellingatbrickyandDKandbrickyilovedyoursubnauticaseriesandORKSORKSORKSORKS)😁

DK “what’s this faction?”, bricky “oh my dear sweet summer child?”

I had been an admirer of the Warhammer franchise (40k and Fantasy) for a number of years now but never truly dived into the lore properly because it seemed so daunting and I didn’t really a clue where to start properly but then I found these guys !!! And they really made this grimdark world come to life as well as poke fun at the most Ridiculous aspects of it And if you guys are reading this Thank you!

Hilarious, informative but most of all Ridiculous!!!

I came across Chris Hammer via Audible editors weekly pick, I now race to download every now release. The narrator Dorje adds even more excitement to every chapter. Can not recommend enough.

Good
