184 - Xenos, Aliens and Strangers
*Ad Free Version available on Lorehammer Patreon, link below.*
In Today's episode, we plunge into the alien horrors and strange intelligences that stalk the stars of the 41st Millennium—the xenos. In the eyes of the Imperium, they are the ultimate "other": thinking, planning, and often ancient beings that threaten the very existence of humanity with their corrupting touch and unknowable goals. From the decadent cruelty of the Drukhari to the cold, mechanical precision of the Necrons, each xenos race reflects a different nightmare. But beyond the big names lie hundreds of lesser-known species—creatures of myth, fringe threats, or rising powers yet to be fully understood. Strap in as we explore what defines a xenos, why the Imperium fears them so deeply, and the grim truth behind humanity’s long war to survive in a galaxy that hates it just as much as it hates the alien.

183 - Imperial Fists, 40k Chapter Era
*Ad Free Version available on Lorehammer Patreon, link below.*
The Imperial Fists are one of the most stoic and unyielding chapters of the Adeptus Astartes, born from the gene-seed of Rogal Dorn, the Primarch of the VII Legion. Known for their relentless determination and expert fortification skills, the Imperial Fists are often called upon to defend the Imperium's most critical strongholds or to wage brutal sieges. Their history is steeped in the defense of Terra during the Siege of the Imperial Palace, where they held the line against the Traitor Legions. This Chapter's reputation for unwavering loyalty and discipline is matched only by their ability to endure the harshest of warfare, making them one of the Imperium's most respected forces. Despite their legendary defense of Terra, the Imperial Fists are not without their flaws—chief among them, an intense, sometimes obsessive, focus on their duty, which can make them seem emotionally distant or inflexible in their approach to war.

182 - Imperial Fists, 30k Legion Era
*Ad Free Version available on Lorehammer Patreon, link below.*
In this episode, we delve into the storied legacy of the Imperial Fists, one of the most revered and stalwart of the Emperor’s Space Marine Legions. From their origins on the rugged world of Terra, the Imperial Fists were forged during the Great Crusade as the epitome of discipline and efficiency in warfare. Specializing in siege tactics and fortifications, their methods were unrivaled, and their loyalty to the Emperor never wavered. As the Horus Heresy unfolded, the Imperial Fists stood as one of the primary defenders of the Imperial Palace during the Siege of Terra, embodying their reputation for unyielding resolve. Following the heresy, they participated in the Great Scouring, hunting down traitor legions and restoring order to the Imperium. We also explore their traditions, including their revered Chapter culture, which is defined by a strict code of honor, their use of iconic wargear like the bolter and power armor, and the tactical genius of their Primarch, Rogal Dorn. Despite the trials of the Heresy and the Great Scouring, the Imperial Fists remain a symbol of unwavering loyalty and the unbreakable defense of humanity.

*Ad Free Version available on Lorehammer Patreon, link below.*
In this episode, we delve into the legacy of Rogal Dorn, Primarch of the Imperial Fists, and his pivotal role during the darkest hours of the Imperium. From the bitter betrayal of the Horus Heresy to the desperate last stand at the Siege of Terra, Dorn stood as the immovable bulwark against Chaos. We explore his unyielding defense of the Imperial Palace, his strained loyalty to the Emperor, and the psychological toll of war that shaped his actions during the Great Scouring. As the Imperium reeled from the Heresy’s aftermath, Dorn led the hunt for the traitors with relentless fury, until tragedy and duty pulled him into one final, fateful mission. Join us as we trace the path of a warrior who refused to break, even as the Imperium itself cracked around him.
