In this episode, Bricky and DK dive into the irradiated, heavily augmented world of the Adeptus Mechanicus Skitarii. From their origins as nomadic scavengers on the toxic dunes of Mars during the Age of Strife to becoming the unquestioning, cyborg foot soldiers of the Machine God, we cover exactly what goes into the Mechanicum's relentless forces. 
Discover the brutal process of the Corpus Skitarii, including the mandatory removal of eyelids & legs, and explore the massive variety of troops deployed by the Forge Worlds. We discuss Vanguard Rad-Troopers who dissolve their own armor with radiation, Sicarian Ruststalkers moving at blinding speeds as commandos, Pteraxii taking to the skies, and the Serberys Corps riding mechanical dogs into battle. Plus, a look at the highly questionable "Project Kataphron" and what standard Imperial Guardsmen actually think of their AdMech counterparts.

The Black Templars thought they were showing up to the feudal world of Gabal to burn away the "urc" filth and bring the planet back into the Imperial fold. They definitely weren't expecting to run straight into the Beast of Armageddon himself. ​This week on Adeptus Ridiculous, Bricky, DK and Kirioth dive into the absolute madness of Denny Flowers' Ghazghkull Thraka: Warlord of Warlords. We are talking maximum Orky goodness: the Blood Axes setting wildly elaborate mountain-crushing traps, Grotsnik performing completely unhinged mid-battle surgery, Glinteef Goldakka's fabled "Mega Smasha" titan-killer WarKopta and Ghazghkull going toe-to-toe with Black Templar Marshal Adenauer.

In this episode, Bricky, DK, and Kirioth dive into the Severan Dominate, a rare example of a faction actually managing to secede from the Imperium of Man. On paper, seceding is as easy as just quitting, but the real difficulty is keeping the secession going. Led by the "pious" Duke Severus XIII, this splinter faction has held itself together in a dangerous area of space. Believing the Periphery sub-sector was his by right, the Duke orchestrated fake supply shortages to force his citizens into desperate rebellion.
To maintain his grip, the Duke formed dark pacts with a desperate Drukhari kabal known as the Children of Thorns. Throw in an unexpected Ork invasion from Waaagh! Grimtoof, and you have the recipe for the only definitively successful secessionist group in 40K history.

The Iron Warriors are expanding their borders, and they absolutely do not care who they have to bulldoze to do it! This week, Bricky, DK, and Kirioth dive into the "Reign of Iron" lore supplement. With the Eye of Terror massively expanded after the fall of Cadia, Perturabo has set his sights on building the "Infinite Citadel" and claiming the highly-valuable Forge World of Agripinaa. But to get there, Warsmith Kravek Morne has to do some serious house cleaning. Listen in as the boys break down the Iron Warriors sneaking up on the Black Legion "Grave Robbers" who were looting Cadia, leading to the brutal execution of Lord Iordax Quan. From there, it's an all-out meat grinder on Toros Tertium against Ursula Creed and the Cadian 8th. And just when you think the Iron Warriors have it in the bag, Darnath Lysander and the Imperial Fists arrive to crash the party—mostly because they just really, really hate Perturabo's sons. Oh, and Eldrad shows up at the end.

What happens when the biggest hater in the galaxy spends 10,000 years locked in his room with an endless supply of daemonic data? You get the Infinite Citadel.

Now, operating out of the nightmare world of Medrengard, he's weaponizing his resentment to build a fortress system so massive it spans the gulfs between stars. Get ready for the Reign of Iron.

In this episode, Kirioth takes the wheel to teach Bricky and DK all about the Supreme Commander of the T'au Empire: O'Shaserra, better known as Shadowsun! From her early days training under the legendary Commander Puretide alongside her bonded rival, Farsight, to earning her famous moniker by assassinating Ork leaders under an artificial eclipse, Shadowsun is an absolute tactical powerhouse. We're diving deep into her mastery of the Kauyon (Patient Hunter) warfare doctrine, her brutal campaigns across the spheres of expansion, and that time she completely humiliated the Imperium by cutting Raven Guard Chapter Master Corvin Severax in half. Plus, things get seriously weird when the T'au's Fourth Sphere Expansion gets swallowed by the Warp and encounters a terrifying, multi-armed Warp Goddess of the Greater Good.

Few names muster up imagery of power and dedication to the Imperium like Commissar Sebastian Yarrick. Known as the Hero of Hades Hive, he is a man so dedicated to the Emperor’s light that even the Orks think he’s a literal demon. ​In today’s episode, we’re diving into the full, unredacted (mostly) life of the man, the myth, and the bionic eye. From his brutal upbringing on Taos 3 to his legendary rivalry with Ghazghkull Thraka, we cover why Yarrick is the ultimate "too angry to die" protagonist of the 41st Millennium.


​In this episode, we discuss: ​

The Vaarden Origins: How a wealthy kid named Sebastian Vaarden became the gritty survivor known as Yarrick.
​Grandpa’s "Spartan" Training: Why Yarrick’s childhood was basically a survival horror game.
​The Klaw: The story of how he lost an arm to Warboss Ugulhard and decided to just... take the Warboss's arm as a replacement.
​The Bale Eye: Why he got a laser eye specifically to play into Ork superstitions.
​The Best Frenemy: That time Ghazghkull threw Yarrick a "celebratory parade" and spoke to him in High Gothic.
​The Propaganda Version: We wrap up with the "Authorized Biography" from the Regimental Standard—where Yarrick allegedly did the sign of the Aquila instead of crying at birth.

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.
