On todays cast we jump into the great enigma that is Cypher in Warhammer 40k. With a focus first on the origins of the fallen and a short detour into John complaining about Luther again. From there we go through the history of the Dark Angels interactions with Cypher as we try to unpack his true motives and true alignment in the universes. After that we then dive into our personal theories on who and what Cypher truly is.

We then move to the invasion of Sol and the ascension of Kharn to being Khorne’s favorite. And from there we begin to follow Kharn hard as he breaks the legion and moves them to their true roots of blood for the blood god, and skulls for the skull throne!

On today’s cast we continue our coverage of the World Eaters with a deep dive into the legion post the events on Ghenna. We open with a deeper dive into the butcher’s nails with a focus on their affect on Angron himself. After that we go into Angron in effect purging his own legion of anyone not fully loyal to going ham on the crazy train. This then leads us into the confrontation between Angron and Leman, which results in Angron being sent to the other side of the galaxy to crusade solo, which just allows Khorne to get a better hold on the legion. We then move to Isstvan 3 and 5 and the actions of Angron there. We then close with Angron ascension to Daemon Prince of Khorne.

From there we follow the forces of the imperium to mars, where they learn the origins of the ork invasion. But before they can act they have to run and pick up a Primarch, who just appeared out of no where.
