Welcome back to another episode of Adeptus Ridiculous! This week, DK, Kirioth, and Bricky are setting sail for the nightmare that is the Maelstrom. We are diving deep into the 10th Edition campaign book, "The Maelstrom: Lair of the Tyrant," which is packed with 76 pages of pure worldbuilding. In this episode, we cover: 

- The Maelstrom Zone: A massive galactic Warp incursion second only in size to the Eye of Terror.
- Huron Blackheart: The former Chapter Master of the Astral Claws, who is now the supreme pirate king and Master of the Red Corsairs.
- Pirate Empires: How Huron operates out of New Badab and Corsair's Keep, a Blackstone Fortress gifted to him by Abaddon the Despoiler.
- The Aeldari Threat: Prince Yriel leading the Eldritch Raiders into the storm and the lore behind the Raid on the Crimson Eyrie.
- Maelstrom Locals: Everything from Ork Freebootas and Night Lords to terrifying daemon worlds like Fleshmyre, which devours visitors with continents of quivering flesh.

In this episode, Bricky and DK are joined by the legendary PancreasNoWork and the stoic stallion Kirioth to dissect the absolute chaos that was AdeptiCon 2026. Between PA systems that sounded like a Vox-caster underwater and a stream schedule held together by hope and duct tape, we managed to find some actually incredible reveals. ​We talk through the mountain of new plastic, from the massive Armageddon Box Set and Wazdakka Gutsmek to the latest reveals for Age of Sigmar. It’s a lot of plastic crack, a lot of tech issues, and a lot of shouting about space marine slop.

Today on Detective Ridiculous, Bricky and DK dive into the single-greatest art heist in history. It’s a $500 million mystery that remains unsolved to this day. In the early hours of St. Patrick's Day in 1990, two men dressed as Boston police officers talked their way into the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum. What followed was 81 minutes of pure, unadulterated chaos. The thieves tied the two night watchmen up in the basement—one of whom was on LSD. Despite having all the time in the world, the thieves bizarrely passed up priceless masterpieces by Raphael and Michelangelo. Instead, they haphazardly sliced 13 random paintings out of their frames, rolled them up, and vanished into the night never to be found.

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.

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.

Today, Bricky and DK are diving headfirst into the new narrative campaign, "500 Worlds: Titus". The events of Space Marine II are in the rearview mirror, and our boy Demetrian Titus has officially secured the bag: getting promoted to Captain and Master of the Watch. Bobby G has tasked him with an incredibly ambitious (and maybe impossible) goal: reclaiming the lost 500 Worlds of Ultramar.
​Titus heads out to the Vespator Front to secure a spooky planet called Novamagnor, a world so cursed that even Hive Fleet Leviathan actively avoided it. What Titus thought would be a "poggers" little speedrun to drop a vortex bomb in a sleeping Necron tomb immediately goes completely off the rails. We're talking Hexmark Destroyer ambushes, a literal Necron civil war spilling onto the surface, and the arrival of Nekrosor Ammenthar, the horrifying Patient Zero for the Destroyer Curse.
​To make matters worse, Titus has to deal with Archmagos Wytbor Oct, a massive C'tan cultist who literally holds the door open for the Necrons because he wants to free a Nightbringer Shard from a massive Tesseract Vault. It's a pyrrhic victory of epic proportions, capped off by The Rock pulling up to the outskirts of Ultramar with a cryptic text message that simply reads: "Brother. We need to talk".

Welcome back to the Underhive! In Part III of our Necromunda deep dive, we are looking at the absolute wildest gangs, cults, and outlaws scraping by in the grim darkness of the 41st millennium.
From rich kids hunting people for sport in custom hunting rigs that put Space Marine armor to shame, to the Cawdor Brethren riding into battle on mechanical chicken walkers made out of literal garbage, Necromunda has it all. We’re also covering the terrifying Corpse Grinder Cults who recycle their fellow hivers into corpse-starch, the sneaky psychic weirdos of House Delaque, and giant mutant crocodiles flushed down the upper hive toilets.

In this episode of Adeptus Ridiculous, Bricky DK and Kirioth dive back into the nightmare industrial hellscape of Necromunda to meet the families running the show. From the "upper-crust" Noble Houses who own the moons to the grime-covered Clan Houses keeping the forges burning, it’s a world of corporate backstabbing where the "HR department" is usually a masked assassin.

The Great Noble Houses: House Ty and their psychic spies, the decadent House Ulanti (who literally blow up pandas for fun), and the mysterious House Catallus that brings a literal murder carnival to the hive.
The Clan Houses: GigaChads of House Goliath, the pharmaceutical queens of House Escher, and the irradiated tech-wizards of House Van Saar who are slowly being killed by their own STC. 

And much more!

Welcome to the first part of our deep dive into the absolute industrial nightmare that is Necromunda. Often cited as the "textbook example" of a Hive World, Necromunda is a planet where the history is as blood-soaked as its geography is treacherous.
​In this episode, Bricky, Kirioth, and DK explore the planet’s early days as the "Araneus Continuity," its brutal "liberation" by the Imperial Fists, and the sheer audacity of a population so large it makes modern Earth look like a deserted island. From oceans of toxic sludge to the shifting, microplastic dunes of the Ash Wastes, we’re breaking down why this world is a complete setting in itself.
