    In the grand finale of the Dark Imperium trilogy, Roboute Guilliman is having a spectacularly bad time. Not only is he forced into a miserable reunion with his stinky brother Mortarion, but he’s also dodging fanatic priests and dealing with Ku'Gath's ultimate weapon: the Godblight.

    Things get so bad that Guilliman actually dies, only to have a lovely chat with the Emperor, who kindly reminds him that he is nothing more than a tool, a number, and a weapon. Truly, the "#1 Dad" of the 41st Millennium.

    Roboute Guilliman has officially had enough, and the Avenging Son is about to deliver the ultimate crashout.
    In this episode, we dive deep into the absolute madness of Dark Imperium: Plague Wars. Nurgle’s forces are making a mess of Parmenio, with Ku'Gath stressing over his favour with Nurgle, and Mortarion dropping in from the toxic fog to challenge his brother.

    Meanwhile, things on the Imperial side are getting weird. A mysterious girl named Kaylia is manifesting Living Saint powers, Sister Iolanth is going rogue and bodying Sisters of Silence, and Frater Mathieu is pushing Guilliman to his absolute breaking point.

    09:45 The Episode
    Guilliman is back, but the Imperium is a mess, and his Ultra-Depression is kicking in full force. In this episode, we kick off our three-part series on the Dark Imperium books, diving into the massive conflict that brings the Avenging Son face-to-face with his brother Mortarion: The Plague Wars.
    ​Ultramar is struggling under the weight of Chaos rot, and Mortarion is aiming to choke the realm with disease. We explore the tragic and horrific transformation of the hospital world of Iax into a literal breeding ground for Nurgle's decay, and see how Guilliman plans to hold his territory together by reforming the Tetrarchy to make the 500 Worlds stronger.
    ​Plus, we break down Guilliman's confusing new reality in M41. From dealing with the fanatical Ecclesiarchy and his new Militant-Apostolic Mathieu, to navigating a deadly Legends of the Hidden Temple style obstacle course just to talk to a 100% definitely-not-sentient VTuber version of Belisarius Cawl.

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
