Lorehammer - A Warhammer 40k Podcast

*Ad Free Version available on Lorehammer Patreon, link below.*

In this episode, we delve into the terrifying power of the Swarmlord, the pinnacle of Tyranid evolution and the living embodiment of the Hive Mind’s will on the battlefield. A creature of unmatched intelligence and brutal force, the Swarmlord commands entire swarms with terrifying precision, directing the Tyranids’ ceaseless hunger for conquest. We explore how this hyper-intelligent being is not merely a general but a vessel through which the Hive Mind manifests its vast psychic presence, channeling its will to annihilate and consume all in its path. Join us as we examine the unrelenting drive behind the Hive Mind, a collective consciousness that spans galaxies, driven by an insatiable urge to devour, adapt, and evolve.

126 - The Swarmlord, Tyrant Amongst Tryants

*Ad Free Version available on Lorehammer Patreon, link below.*

In this episode, we dive headfirst into the feral chaos of the Beast Snagga Boyz, the brutal hunters and Squig-wranglers of the Ork tribes. Born to stalk the wilds and tame—or battle—the deadliest creatures, these savages represent the untamed spirit of the Ork race, thriving on raw instinct and the thrill of the hunt. We’ll explore their obsession with bagging the biggest beasts, their bond with their snarling Squigs, and the primal rituals that define their warbands. From trampling battlefields astride monstrous squiggly mounts to their deep-rooted rivalry with the tech-heavy Bad Moons and Goffs, the Beast Snaggas bring an unrelenting savagery that even other Orks find unnerving. Whether you’re a die-hard Ork fan or just here for tales of carnage and chaos, prepare to be dragged into the untamed, blood-soaked world of the Beast Snagga Boyz!

127 - Beast Snagga Boyz

*Ad Free Version available on Lorehammer Patreon, link below.*

In this episode, we delve into the enigmatic journey of the Aeldari who tread the Path of the Outcast, breaking free from the rigid confines of their craftworlds to embrace a life of solitude and peril. What drives these Asuryani to turn away from the structured Paths that protect their kind from the ruinous temptations of Slaanesh? From the silent and patient Rangers who master the art of survival in the galaxy’s harshest environments to the audacious Corsairs who sail the void as raiders and mercenaries, the Path of the Outcast offers a stark contrast to the disciplined existence of the craftworlds. We’ll explore the unique freedoms and dangers these Outcasts face, the impact of their choices on their kin, and how their paths—though seemingly wayward—may hold a deeper connection to the Aeldari’s ancient heritage. Whether you’re a lore enthusiast or new to the universe, join us for a thought-provoking journey into the untamed lives of the Aeldari Outcasts.

129 - The Primarch Project

Ad Free Version available on Lorehammer Patreon, link below. 

In this episode, we explore the origins of the first Space Marine Legions, birthed during the Emperor's Great Crusade to unite humanity under one banner. These mighty legions, each led by a primarch, were the Emperor’s most trusted warriors, created to bring the light of the Imperium to every corner of the galaxy. As the Crusade advanced, the legions grew in power, but with the outbreak of the Horus Heresy, the Great Betrayal shattered their unity. The aftermath saw the fragmentation of the legions, and in the wake of the Heresy, they were reorganized into the Space Marine Chapters. This shift marked the beginning of a new era in the Imperium, one defined by the stoic and grim heroism of these smaller, more autonomous units, carrying the legacy of the legions in their blood.

131 - Lion El'Jonson, Origins and Great Crusade

*Ad Free Version available on Lorehammer Pateron, link below.*

Lion El’Jonson, the stoic and enigmatic primarch of the Dark Angels, stands as a figure defined by both tragedy and resurgence. During the Horus Heresy, the Lion was a masterful tactician and relentless warrior, yet his story was marked by mistrust and division, culminating in the betrayal of his closest confidant, Luther, and the shattering of Caliban, his homeworld. While other primarchs fought on Terra, the Lion’s campaign saw him hunting traitors across the galaxy, often operating in isolation, embodying both his strength as a hunter and the secrecy that would come to define the Dark Angels. In the Era Indomitus, millennia later, he awakens as a warrior reborn into a galaxy engulfed in darkness and despair. Unlike his brother Guilliman, who rebuilds the Imperium with a statesman’s hand, the Lion emerges as a lone knight-errant, clad in relic armor, bearing ancient weapons, and stalking the stars to deliver vengeance. From the haunted forests of his past to the battlefields of the present, Lion El’Jonson remains both a savior and a shadow—a warrior out of time, yet perfectly suited for the grim reality of the Imperium's darkest age.
