Lorehammer - A Warhammer 40k Podcast

*Ad Free Version available on Lorehammer Patreon, link below.* In this episode, we dive into the forgotten corners of the galaxy to explore three of Warhammer 40K’s most enigmatic and underused xenos species: the ancient Slanni, the sinister Slaugth, and the mercenary Sslyth. From the cryptic ruins left behind by the Slanni—possibly one of the oldest intelligent races in the galaxy—to the grotesque and parasitic ambitions of the Slaugth, and finally the cunning, blade-wielding Sslyth who sell their skills to the highest bidder, we peel back the layers of Imperial ignorance to examine who these species are, what roles they play, and why the Imperium fears them.

*Ad Free Version available on Lorehammer Patreon, link below.* In this episode, we delve into the terrifying mystery of the Rak'gol—one of the most brutal and enigmatic xenos species in the Warhammer 40K universe. Savage, heavily augmented, and utterly merciless, the Rak'gol are a race of reptilian marauders known for their sudden raids on Imperial ships and outposts, often leaving no survivors. We explore their possible origins, disturbing biology, and the strange mix of primitive ferocity and advanced technology that defines their warbands. Join us as we examine why even seasoned Rogue Traders fear crossing their path—and why the Rak'gol may be far more than just another alien threat lurking in the void.

*Ad Free Version available on Lorehammer Patreon, link below.* In this episode, we shine a light on some of the lesser-known xenos races lurking in the shadows of the Imperium: the Nekulli, Oretti, and Q’orl. Though often overlooked, these minor species offer fascinating glimpses into the wider galaxy beyond the major powers. We explore the enigmatic Nekulli, known for their brutal methods and mysterious biology; the elusive Oretti, whose merchant fleets drift through the void with secrets and tech unknown to the Imperium; and the insectoid Q’orl, whose hive-minds and relentless expansionism present a creeping threat on the galactic fringe. Join us as we dive into their lore, speculate on their place in the galaxy, and imagine the potential these xenos hold in the grim darkness of the far future.

*Ad Free Version available on Lorehammer Patreon, link below.* In the grim darkness of the far future, the Night Lords remain a scattered but terrifying force—Legion no longer in name or structure, yet united by a shared hunger for fear. In the 41st Millennium, they prowl the edges of Imperial space as warbands, drifting through the void aboard ancient, blood-streaked vessels. Without a Primarch to guide them, and with their gene-seed line long corrupted by madness and cruelty, they strike not for conquest or glory, but to spread terror for its own sake. These remnants of a broken past descend upon unsuspecting worlds, slaughtering civilians, skinning governors, and leaving cities in ruins—not as a means to an end, but because fear is their faith, and suffering their sermon.

*Ad Free Version available on Lorehammer Patreon, link below.* In this episode, we delve into the grim legacy of the Night Lords Legion during the tumultuous 30K era. From their brutal origins on the crime-ridden world of Nostramo to their fearsome campaigns during the Great Crusade, the Night Lords carved a path of terror across the galaxy. Led by the haunted and vengeful Primarch Konrad Curze, they embraced fear as a weapon, enforcing compliance through atrocity and psychological warfare. As the Imperium fractured during the Horus Heresy, the Night Lords chose rebellion—not out of loyalty to Horus, but out of hatred for the Imperium’s hypocrisy. Join us as we explore the tragic fall of a Legion that was born in darkness, lived by terror, and ultimately consumed by the very fear they once wielded.

*Ad Free Version available on Lorehammer Patreon, link below.* In this episode, we explore the dark and tragic role of Konrad Curze during the Horus Heresy and the Scouring. As the Night Haunter, Curze’s descent into madness reaches its peak, marked by his unwavering belief that the galaxy's fate was sealed in blood and terror. Torn between loyalty to the Emperor and his vision of a fractured, corrupted future, Curze’s actions during the Heresy were both destructive and deeply tragic. We dive into his fateful decision to side with Horus, the horrors of his personal war against the Imperium, and the devastating consequences of his refusal to surrender. As the Heresy ended and the Imperium sought to erase the taint of rebellion, Curze's legacy lingered—both a symbol of the nightmare the Emperor had created and a cautionary tale of what happens when a man loses all faith in hope.

*Ad Free Version available on Lorehammer Patreon, link below.* In this episode, we delve into the haunting origins of Konrad Curze, the Night Haunter, whose tragic and violent rise to power is marked by his brutal upbringing on the cursed world of Nostramo. A primarch forged in the darkest depths of suffering and lawlessness, Curze was shaped by his visions of future horrors and an unshakable belief that justice could only be achieved through terror. As he led the Night Lords during the Great Crusade, Curze became infamous for his merciless methods, using fear as a tool to bring order to the galaxy, often crossing the line between savior and tyrant. We explore his complex relationship with the Emperor, his descent into madness, and the catastrophic consequences of his actions, ultimately unraveling the tragic tale of one of the most feared and misunderstood primarchs of the Imperium.

*Ad Free Version available on Lorehammer Patreon, link below.* In the shadowy corners of the galaxy, the Imperium's attention is often drawn not just to the great threats of Tyranids, Orks, or Aeldari, but to the strange and lesser-known xenos that lurk in its periphery. The Loxatl, reptilian and amphibious mercenaries, are infamous for their alliance with the heretical forces of Chaos—slimy, quick, and impossible to detect by standard auspex due to their unique organic composition. Then there are the Medusae, nightmarish symbiotes that float alongside the Drukhari, their psychic emissions feeding off pain and suffering. Though small, these creatures are potent sources of agony-fueled power, often kept as living trophies by sadistic Archons. And finally, the Megarachnid, arachnid-like horrors from the deadly world of Murder—ancient and territorial, these xenos once posed a threat even to the Great Crusade’s mightiest warriors. Though believed extinct, the memory of their savage defense still haunts the annals of Imperial history. These minor xenos may not threaten the Imperium alone, but in the right place, at the wrong time, each is more than capable of turning a battlefield into a blood-soaked ruin.

*Ad Free Version available on Lorehammer Patreon, link below.* In this episode, we delve into the savage elegance of the Kroot—feral xenos known across the galaxy as expert hunters, loyal mercenaries, and eerily adaptive warriors. Serving alongside the T'au Empire, these avian-descended beings fight not for ideology, but for survival and evolution, absorbing genetic traits from the creatures they consume. We'll explore their culture rooted in the sacred Kroot Kindred, their living world of Pech, and the mysterious Shapers who guide their path of selective consumption. Whether stalking prey in silence or tearing through the battlefield with brutal efficiency, the Kroot remind the galaxy that evolution can be a weapon.
