October 05 Episode 159 - Dante pt 3 – The Devastation of Baal, Arks of Omen, and a bit more.
On today’s cast we conclude our coverage of Dante. We spend most of the Episode talking about the events of the Devastation of Baal. From the opening Salvo as Dante tries to delay the incoming hive fleet, through Dante and the remaining survivors furious charge out into the Tyranid lines. We also spend some time jumping over to the moons of Baal as the Flesh Tearers and Knights of Blood make their own stand. We then cover the conclusion of the conflict with the arrival of both Guilliman and Ka’Bandha. After this we jump into the events of Dante after the war, with his elevation to Primaris Marine and his “collecting” of the Lion.

September 28 Episode 158 - Dante pt 2 – Are the tales of Dante real, fabrications, or a combo of both?
On today’s cast we continue our coverage of Dante. With his arrival as newly anointed Chapter Master of the Blood Angels and his rebuilding of the chapter. From there we dive deep into the legends of Dante, from killing Skarbrand, to fighting orks on a mountain of dead orks, to being the killing blow on numerous Chaos forces (everything from lords, to sorcerers, all the way to more daemon princes). We then close out with the opening engagements that led to the devastation of Baal and Dante having to be cool with some Necrons for a hot minute.

September 21 Episode 157 - Dante pt 1 – How the lessons learned throughout his early life shaped Dante to be the leader he is today.
On today’s cast we begin our coverage of the Luis Dante, the oldest and most storied of all the Space Marine Chapter Masters. We open obviously with his origins on Baal Secundus and his experiences in the trials of the Blood Angels. From there we follow his path from Neophyte to sergeant, to captain, and eventually to Chapter Master of the Blood Angels. But more importantly we focus on the many lessons he learns along the journey and how they shape him into the great leader he is today.

September 14 Episode 156 - Armageddon pt 3 – Ghaz goes all in on Hades, and Yarrick goes all in on pissing Ghaz off.
On today’s cast we conclude our coverage of the 2nd war of Armageddon. With the events of Hades Hive driving Ghaz crazy, including some fun response to an attempted air assault. So much so what he fails to notice the imperial forces bearing down on him. From there we cover the turning of the war in the favor of the defenders. After that we follow Ghaz and Yarrick in the actions after the war and how they lead up to the 3rd war.

September 07 Episode 155 - Armageddon pt 2 – the orks are here, and luckily the planetary leader is an idiot. But there is a hero waiting in the wings to rise up and become a legend.
On today’s cast we continue our coverage of the second war of Armageddon with the Orks arrival on the planet and Von Strab’s immediate decision to make all the worst decisions possible about said arrival. From, just sending troops to their doom, to deciding that the orks would run away in fear from his greatness, and of course to his attempts at using thousand or so year old rockets. But, we then jump into the true hero of the imperium the great Commissar Yarrick, a man so brave and so stoic, only he decides when he passes out from pain!

August 31 Episode 154 - Armageddon pt 1 – a planet that is a hellscape, a future hero of the imperium ascends, and the greatest ork to ever be born is reborn.
On today’s cast we begin our coverage of the 2nd war of Armageddon (seriously this place sucks!). With an opening on the planet itself, how it got there, how it is structured, and why it is so important. Then we jump (obviously) into the Steel Legion and their value to the imperium, as well as their unique way of “adhering” to the codex. From there we jump over to the origin story of the great and only Yarrick!! Only to then talk about the equally amazing but greener Ghaz! We then close out talking about the arrival of Ghaz and the orks on Armageddon.

August 24 Episode 153 - The Tanith First and Only pt 4 - The siege of Verunhive
On Today’s cast we conclude our coverage of the Tanith first and only with a heavy dive into the events of the siege of Verghast. From the opening attack of Verunhive that exposed kind of all the failings of the leadership there. Through the constant meddling and politicking of the numerous lords and local commissars. Through the great victory brought about by Gaunt, his Tanith. And of course the ending of the book that made one of the host groan a the cheesiness of it all.

August 17 Episode 152 - The Tanith First and Only pt 3 - The luck of the Tanith continues, but the civil war on Verghast is forming.
On Today’s cast we continue our coverage of the Tanith first and only with their continued luck on Sapencia which is both a weird and hilarious story at the same time. And then again on Monthax when they get the new company of an Inquisitor. But then we move onto the world of Verghast and set up what might me the most pivotal of all the conflicts the Tanith take part if during the Sabbat world Crusades. Talking about Hive civil wars, their causes, and how the imperium deals (or does not deal) with them. And then the opening moments of the Verghast conflict.
