Lorebeards

After FAR too long, the time has finally come to introduce the Lorebeards Bookclub! This first episode serves as an introduction to what Vera and Lindsay will be doing. Introducing the concept and structure of how the bookclub will function along with revealing what the first ever Book Club shall be about!

A time of great suffering, glory, and potential is surging as the newest Total War Warhammer 3 DLC crests the horizon! Tides of Torment, featuring several new goodies for Slaanesh, Norsca, and the High Elves is rapidly approaching. Dechala the Denied One slithers her way across Southern Cathay to corrupt any that witness her decadence. Meanwhile to the far north, across the Great Bastion, Sayl the Faithless gathers the Tribes of Chaos in preparation to unleash his treacherous schemes and sorcery. Finally out at sea near the Eastern Isles, the forces of Order rally behind the pragmatic yet cruel efficiency of Sea Lord Aislinn and his unrivaled fleets. Join Ryan and Andy as they delve into all the juicy new lore presented by Tides of Torment!

In the grimdark setting of the 41st Millennium, there are countless horrors both Xenos and Manmade to be found across the Galaxy. While star systems burn and the legions of Chaos attempt to bring all to ruin, there are those forces that cling on to crumbling remnants of the Imperium of Mankind. Of those, there are none more legendary, and perhaps infamous, than the Emperor's Angels. The iconic and triumphant Space Marines. But just what are these mutant super soldiers? Do they still hold on to their humanity? Join Ross and Alexis as they plummet down in a drop pod to discover the truth!

The Lorebeards have created a number of troubling figures, from Everchosens of Chaos to mighty Wind Gods of the Eastern Steppes. Yet the masses cry out for another creation stream to land among them, and who are Ryan and Andy to deny them? Get out your shovels and summon legions of thralls, for on this ill-fated night the Lorebeards shall be crafting a custom Vampire Lord with YOUR involvement!

There are many potential futures that could have seized the 40k universe, as between the various plans of Chaos, Humanity, and the Xenos there are infinite possibilities. At the end of the age known as the Horus Heresy, for instance, the Emperor of Mankind narrowly succeeded in slaying his traitorous son, but paid for this pyrrhic victory by having his mangled body eternally imprisoned upon the Golden Throne of Terra. Yet throughout the twisting ways of the Empyrean...what if things had occurred differently? What if, at some point throughout the messy ages of Mankind, the Emperor had died? Join Ross & Alexis as they delve into this potential reality and what the ramifications may have been!

It's finally here! After two years of Lorebeards, everyone's favorite Warhammer Lore podcast has evolved into a full on company and as part of that evolution two new hosts have spawned from the Aethyr, or should we say...the Warp? That's right! The new Lorebeards show features legendary writer/game designer Ross Watson and iconic cosplayer/tabletop champion Norn Queen Alexis! Join them both as they take you on a fresh journey into the 41st Millennium. Buckle up and prepare for the Grimdark future to arrive on your doorstep!

Within the Warhammer world there are many notable holidays, special eves, and days of remembrance that mark the calendars of the various cultures. But there's ONE night that stands above all others in importance, for it is the night that every civilized people prepare for horror and death. The legions of the Undead rise from their graves with ease, daemons tear through the thinning veil keeping them out of reality, and magic floods the world to fuel dark rituals. Known as the Night of Mystery, or Geheimnisnacht, it is truly the most dangerous time of the year. Join Ryan & Andy as they prepare you to brave the weirdly green moonlight of Morrslieb and how to survive the eldritch evening.

Amidst lots of stuff, shenanigans, and scheduling madness it's another one of those days that ole Ryan, or Sotek as he's often called, has found himself standing around all confused and wondering where Andy's at. In any event, he'll be answering all the questions he can that people in the audience have about Warhammer Fantasy! So let's get to it.

In the Warhammer World there are many threats to be found lurking in the shadows of outside the walls of civilization. But what of those enemies that are found within, instead of without? When the forces of Chaos, Undeath, and other unsavory things come whispering into the minds of the corrupt and desperate, the Witch Hunters are those who answer. Contrary to popular belief, the Witch Hunters are not just Sigmarites, but can actually come from any faith found across the Old World and even further beyond. So put on your trademarked wide-brimmed hat, grab a staggering number of pistols, and join Andy & Ryan as they purge Heretics in the quest for answers!

For WHATEVER reason, that scaly guy Ryan wasn't able to be found in time for this episode of Lorebeards, something to do with a rat named squeak? Peek? In any event, Andy Law steps up to the plate on his own to fill in and answer ANYTHING you'd like to ask!

Join the Lorebeards for a rather unique episode as they open the floor to YOU! The Loreseekers have been given the microphone and it'll be quite interesting to see what Ryan and Andy think of their personal hot takes and headcanons!

While from the outside, Bretonnia appears to be an incredibly gorgeous and pure realm of goodness and chivalrous, the truth is far more complex. Like any nation of Men, the people of fair Bretonnia suffer from the wanton cruelty of the merciless rich that treat their fellow man worse than filthy beasts. Knights and Lords that swore sacred vows to protect the innocent instead brutalize and take without a second thought. Yet rumors swirl about a mysterious bandit that traverses the forests and valleys of Bretonnia, a cloaked man that robs the rich and gives to the poor. Bertrand the Brigand and his Merry Men, the Herrimaults, stealthily venture the deep woods and take the fight to Greenskins, Beastmen, and most importantly those knights who have turned their backs on goodness. At least, that's the legend. Join Andy and Ryan as they surrender themselves to the supposedly noble men of the woods to learn the truth.

The nation of Bretonnia is one of the grandest kingdoms of Men found within the Old World. A noble land well known for its breathtaking ethereal beauty and armies of chivalrous knights. Yet their land does not belong to the mundane laws of Men, but instead to a higher power. Standing above all is none other than the Lady of the Lake, who in turn is represented by the mysterious sorceress known as the Fay Enchantress. Morgiana le Fay, as she is called in modern times, is the ultimate authority within Bretonnia and its most powerful wizard. Yet much about her is a mystery, from what she does with the witchling children that she takes from their families to what precisely her purpose is for the Lady's people. It's remained a constant debate whether or not she's even human, or perhaps one of the so-called Fay, also known to the wider world as Elves. Join Andy and Ryan as they venture into the sacred mists of the Lady in hopes of discovering the truth...
