From superhuman space warriors to depraved cultists and green-skinned Mad Max rejects, not even the most ridiculous aspects of this setting are off the table for these two mad men.

    We found a Warhammer catalog from 30 years ago, and the miniatures are... interesting. Join us for a trip down memory lane as we react to the 1996 Citadel US Annual. We compare these vintage metal models to their modern counterparts to see just how much the hobby has evolved. ​Some of these sculpts are nostalgic classics, and some are absolute nightmare fuel. Let's discuss the massive glow-up of the Warhammer 40,000 range.

    2025 might go down as the wildest year in Warhammer history. We are finally getting the heavy hitters we’ve been memeing about for a decade. ​Join the "greatest philosophers of our time" as we try to process the absolute flood of grimdark gaming content that is coming our way soon. Starting with the best miniatures of the year, then moving from minis to the strategy battle of the century (Total War 40k vs. Dawn of War 4) to the boomer shooter supremacy of Boltgun 2 - we are breaking down everything. Will Space Marine 3 live up to the Titus hype? Will the 11th edition actually be balanced? And how many hours will we lose to Warhammer Survivors?

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
