Lorehammer - A Warhammer 40k Podcast

*Ad Free Version available on Lorehammer Patreon, link below.*What does music sound like in the grim darkness of the far future? From the thunder of war drums and chanting cults to the brutal soundtracks that inspire the armies of the 41st Millennium, music has always been part of Warhammer 40,000. In this episode of Lorehammer, we are joined by the real-life band Stellar Rot to talk about the connection between music and 40K, the sounds and influences that shape the hobby and what it is like creating heavy music in a universe built on war, blood and endless darkness. Expect plenty of talk about 40K, metal and the strange place where the two collide.Listen to and Support Stellar RotInstagram & Tik Tok: @stellar_rot_officalUS and Canada Pre-Orders and Merch: https://stellarrot.bandcamp.com/EU and Global Shipping (ex-US/CA): https://hypnoticdirgerecords.bandcamp.com/album/where-the-formless-ones-dwell Singles ⁠https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2BFqUwF06MQ⁠ ⁠https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mziGRTOuAO0⁠ Lorehammer Patreonhttps://www.patreon.com/c/lorehammer/membershipOne Time Donationshttps://paypal.me/lorehammerpodcastLink to all Linkshttps://linktr.ee/Lorehammer40k

*Ad Free Version available on Lorehammer Patreon, link below.*In this episode, we venture beyond the familiar horrors of the Hive Fleets to uncover the Forgotten Tyranid Species, strange, obscure, and often barely understood creatures scattered across the galaxy. From bizarre predators and ancient bio-constructs to isolated organisms shaped by worlds far beyond the reach of the Great Devourer, these creatures reveal just how vast and adaptable Tyranid life truly is. Some may be lost branches of the swarm, others evolutionary dead ends, and a few may be something far stranger. Together, they offer a glimpse into the countless forms the Tyranids have created, consumed, abandoned, and perhaps hidden away within their vast genetic memory.Lorehammer Patreonhttps://www.patreon.com/c/lorehammer/membershipOne Time Donationshttps://paypal.me/lorehammerpodcastLink to all Linkshttps://linktr.ee/Lorehammer40k

*Ad Free Version available on Lorehammer Patreon, link below.*Somewhere on a ghost world in the Eastern Fringe, a former scribe with a mummification background and questionable self-editing habits has spent ten thousand years assembling what may be the galaxy's most extensive—and most heavily armed—private collection. This episode traces the long, meandering curriculum vitae of Trazyn the Infinite: Necrontyr archivist turned deathless curator, hoarder of Primarch clones and captured saints, occasional and entirely self-interested savior of the Imperium, and perennial loser of the Spear of Vulkan. We examine his uneasy rivalry with the Cryptek Orikan, his brief and uncharacteristic heroism at the Fall of Cadia, and the fate of at least one Inquisitor who went looking for answers and left with considerably less than she arrived with. Expect artifacts of dubious provenance, memories of even more dubious reliability, and a great many things that were, at some point, alive.Lorehammer Patreonhttps://www.patreon.com/c/lorehammer/membershipOne Time Donationshttps://paypal.me/lorehammerpodcastLink to all Linkshttps://linktr.ee/Lorehammer40k

*Ad Free Version available on Lorehammer Patreon, link below.*Mad Dok Grotsnik is not your typical Ork Painboy. He is a screaming, blood-soaked nightmare of saws, syringes, bionics, and increasingly questionable medical decisions, a Dok who has turned surgery into an art form and the Ork body into his personal workshop. From fitting Ghazghkull with the adamantium skull that helped shape the greatest WAAAGH! of the age, to surviving his own attempted murder and emerging completely insane, Grotsnik has spent his long career proving that death is merely another medical complication. He has rebuilt bodies, transplanted brains, created Cyborks, experimented with Squigs, and apparently learned enough about Ork reincarnation to drag the dead back into the world. In this episode, we descend into the operating theatre of one of the galaxy's most grotesque, enthusiastic, and genuinely terrifying Painboyz, Mad Dok Grotsnik.Lorehammer Patreonhttps://www.patreon.com/c/lorehammer/membershipOne Time Donationshttps://paypal.me/lorehammerpodcastLink to all Linkshttps://linktr.ee/Lorehammer40k

Marked from birth by an ancient prophecy and entrusted with the Blade of the Ancestors, Ûthar has spent his life forging himself into the warrior and leader his fate demands. From the halls of Obsyd Gate to the blood-soaked battlefields of the Battle of Örgvayr, the Destined has endured wars, slain legendary foes and led the Kin against the horrors of Chaos. Yet for all his victories, Ûthar remains haunted by a single question: what is the great destiny he was born to fulfil?

*Ad Free Version available on Lorehammer Patreon, link below.*Deep beneath the impossible spires of Commorragh dwells one of the most ancient and terrifying figures in the Drukhari empire: Urien Rakarth, the Master Haemonculus and lord of the Prophets of Flesh. More than a mere fleshcrafter, Rakarth is a living testament to the horrors of obsession, immortality, and the endless pursuit of perfection. In this episode, we explore the history of the Sculptor of Torments, from his ancient origins before the Fall of the Aeldari to his mastery of regeneration, fleshcrafting, and the creation of nightmares that even the Dark City fears. We uncover the twisted genius behind the Wracks, Grotesques, Talos Pain Engines, and the countless experiments that have made Rakarth one of the galaxy’s greatest biological artisans. Step into the laboratories of Commorragh and discover the mind of a being who no longer sees flesh as life, but as a material waiting to be reshaped.Lorehammer Patreonhttps://www.patreon.com/c/lorehammer/membershipOne Time Donationshttps://paypal.me/lorehammerpodcastLink to all Linkshttps://linktr.ee/Lorehammer40k

*Ad Free Version available on Lorehammer Patreon, link below.*Eldrad Ulthran is the greatest Farseer of the Aeldari, an ancient prophet who has spent more than ten thousand years navigating the countless paths of fate. From the Fall of the Aeldari to the Horus Heresy, the rise of Abaddon, and the awakening of Ynnead, Eldrad has guided Craftworld Ulthwé through disasters that could have ended his people forever. Yet foresight is not certainty, and every future he saves demands a sacrifice. In this episode, we explore the life, visions, powers, alliances, and impossible choices of the Seer of Ulthwé. We examine his efforts to manipulate Humanity, his role in shaping the fate of the galaxy, his exile, his connection to the Ynnari, and the terrible burden carried by one who can see countless futures but never knows which path will lead his people to salvation.Lorehammer Patreonhttps://www.patreon.com/c/lorehammer/membershipOne Time Donationshttps://paypal.me/lorehammerpodcastLink to all Linkshttps://linktr.ee/Lorehammer40k

In this special bonus episode of Lorehammer, the hosts descend into the depths of Reddit to explore some of the funniest, wildest, and most unhinged fan theories the Warhammer 40,000 community has ever dreamed up. From secret Primarch conspiracies and bizarre Chaos plots to Ork myths and tinfoil-worthy speculation, they separate the surprisingly plausible from the utterly ridiculous. Whether these theories are brilliant, hilarious, or completely impossible, they're all part of what makes the 40k community so entertaining.Lorehammer Patreonhttps://www.patreon.com/c/lorehammer/membershipOne Time Donationshttps://paypal.me/lorehammerpodcastLink to all Linkshttps://linktr.ee/Lorehammer40k

*Ad Free Version available on Lorehammer Patreon, link below.*The Death Guard have endured for ten thousand years, and in all that time they have never truly stopped marching. From the plague-ridden depths of the Plague Planet, Mortarion's sons continue their endless war against the Imperium, spreading disease, decay, and despair across the galaxy. But the Death Guard of the 41st Millennium are more than bloated warriors and diseased war machines. They are a Legion that has endured the collapse of empires, the death of worlds, and the passage of ages, emerging from every catastrophe more resilient and more corrupted than before. In this episode, we explore the Death Guard after the Great Scouring, from the rise of the Plague Companies and the spread of the vectoriums to the grim hierarchy, wargear, vehicles, diseases, and daemonic forces that allow Mortarion's Legion to continue its slow, inevitable advance into the darkness of the 41st Millennium.
