Masters of the Forge | Warhammer 40k Narrative Play Podcast | Radio

With the new Codex out, Adam, Jason, and Snorre are back to discuss the lore of the Death Guard Space Marines Legion. Of course, they also have a bit to say about the hobby side of things. As a special treat, the show is punctuated with a discussion between Adam and special guest, Pat, about the game they had using the new Death Guard Codex thanks to Games Workshop. Timings: Intro: 00:00:00 - 00:1...

  In this episode, Adam, Jason, Jim, and Snorre talk about the origins, advancement, and future of the Masters of the Forge. They also have fun talking about some of the old, funny lore from the 40k wayback machine. First, though, they feature an interview with Pablo from Frontline Gaming about the Las Vegas Open.

The Emperor's Children were great leaders of men and they fell harder than Icarus wearing lead boots.

We also have a short segment with Skip discussing a game Adam and he played with the new Grey Knights and Chaos Space Marines Codexes sent to us by Games Work...

The aim of this episode is to demystify the differences between the Iron Warriors and the Iron Hands legions. We discuss the origins of these Astartes and their current status in Warhammer 40,000. We also talk about the brand new Adeptus Astartes codex for Space Marines of which Games Workshop was kind enough to send us a preview copy.

This is a follow-up to Episode 93 as we welcome back many of the folks who joined us in that episode. This week, we ask our panelists how they've felt about the new release of Warhammer 40,000.

We're back in the saddle again! We've decided to move back to a bi-weekly format with our triumphant return to broadcasting. We thought it would only be appropriate to discuss the new lore and the new novel by Guy Haley which is set in this era. We were fortunate enough to also be joined by Guy Haley for this episode. Beware! We have an obnoxiously long hobby progress section in the Intro!  Timest...

This will be our last show for at least a month, but it's a great one! The two novels about the Phoenix Lords by Gav Thorpe have loads of exposition for the Eldar and the history of the 40k lore. You don't want to miss this episode. Note that there are super duper tons of spoilers in here.

More Guilliman talk with Adam, Jason, and special guest, Skippicus. We delve into the narrative and missions for the second half of the Gathering Storm III: Rise of the Primarch. We're still figuring out our recording situation when three people are present, so this one's a little tinny, but Jason worked that sound doctor magic on it.

Adam and Jason are joined by John once again to discuss The Gathering Storm III: Rise of the Primarch. This time we decided to cover half the book and its corresponding missions.

With everyone else busy with Real Life ®, Adam has taken some time to write a short story featuring both his Knight House, House Draco, and his Space Marines Chapter, the Star Eagles. He hopes you don't mind his clumsy accents and his sanctimony. He can't get enough sanctimony. Thanks to Pete from NGC 40k for assistance with the voice filters. You can read the story instead if you like: TheGallant...

For the next three episodes, our goal will be to help normalize the place of the Imperial Knights army in your narratives.

For Episode 86, Adam and Jason give an honest review of the Lore in the Gathering Storm II - Fracture of Biel-Tan.
