(Video) 235 - Astartes Armoury: Artillery 04.06.2026 2h 23min

*Ad Free Version available on Lorehammer Patreon, link below.*The armored might of the Adeptus Astartes extends far beyond battle tanks and transports. In this episode of Lorehammer, we explore the devastating artillery and anti-aircraft engines of the Space Marines, from the missile storms of the Whirlwind to the relentless sky-hunting fire of the Hunter and Stalker. We also dive into the brutal siege power of the Vindicator, a tank built to shatter fortress walls and annihilate enemy strongpoints at point-blank range. Together, these war machines reveal the tactical flexibility of the Chapters, proving that the Angels of Death wage war not only through shock assault, but through calculated bombardment, overwhelming firepower, and absolute battlefield domination.

(Video) 234 - Astartes Armoury: Battle Tanks 02.06.2026 2h 2min

*Ad Free Version available on Lorehammer Patreon, link below.*The Land Raider and Predator Battle Tanks stand as two of the most iconic armored vehicles of the Adeptus Astartes, ancient engines of war that embody the Space Marines’ doctrine of overwhelming force, relentless assault, and armored supremacy. In this episode of Lorehammer, we explore the history, battlefield roles, and enduring legacy of these legendary war machines, from the unstoppable spearhead assaults of the Land Raider and its many sacred variants, to the brutal versatility of the Predator in both anti-infantry and tank-hunting roles. We examine how different Space Marine Chapters employ these revered vehicles, the machine spirits that dwell within them, and why both the Land Raider and Predator have remained cornerstones of Astartes armored warfare for ten thousand years since the Horus Heresy.Lorehammer Patreonhttps://www.patreon.com/c/lorehammer/membershipOne Time Donationshttps://paypal.me/lorehammerpodcastLink to all Linkshttps://linktr.ee/Lorehammer40k

*Ad Free Version available on Lorehammer Patreon, link below.*In this episode, we examine the heart of Astartes battlefield mobility: armored personnel carriers. From the versatile and dependable Rhino to the indomitable Land Raider, among others, these machines are more than transport—they are instruments of war, delivering Space Marines into the fiercest battles. We explore their adaptability, durability, and battlefield roles, showing how each vehicle, from the simplest Rhino modification to the fully armed Land Raider, ensures that the Emperor’s warriors arrive where they are needed most, ready to strike with unrelenting force.Lorehammer Patreonhttps://www.patreon.com/c/lorehammer/membershipOne Time Donationshttps://paypal.me/lorehammerpodcastLink to all Linkshttps://linktr.ee/Lorehammer40k

(Video) 232 - Astartes Armoury: Light Vehicles 15.05.2026 2h 6min

*Ad Free Version available on Lorehammer Patreon, link below.*Roaring from the annals of the Great Crusade, the light vehicles of the Adeptus Astartes—specifically the Land Speeder and Attack Bike—are the apex of rapid-response warfare, combining high-speed maneuverability with devastating fire support. While the Attack Bike brings rugged, twin-linked bolter or melta firepower directly into the ranks of the enemy, the Land Speeder, born from the rediscovered STC designs of the renowned Arkhan Land, uses advanced anti-gravitic plates to skim battlefields, hunting heavy armor and delivering high-impact disruption, often piloted by reckless Assault Marines or specialized formations like the Dark Angels' Ravenwing. These "fast and fragile" machines rely entirely on speed to avoid damage, often acting as the eyes and ears of a Chapter before allowing specialized squads to dive into the fray.

*Ad Free Version available on Lorehammer Patreon, link below.*From the daemonic whispers of the Warp to the crushing hopelessness of the far future, this episode we dive deep into horror within the universe of Warhammer 40,000. We explore what makes 40k terrifying beyond simple violence, discussing atmosphere, psychological dread, body horror, cosmic horror, and the themes that define some of the setting’s darkest stories. From terrifying factions and cursed worlds to unforgettable moments from novels and lore, we break down how tone and storytelling shape fear in the grim darkness of the far future. Whether it’s the horror of Chaos, the silence of abandoned void ships, or the tragedy behind the Imperium itself, this episode examines why horror feels so natural within 40k.Lorehammer Patreonhttps://www.patreon.com/c/lorehammer/membershipOne Time Donationshttps://paypal.me/lorehammerpodcastLink to all Linkshttps://linktr.ee/Lorehammer40k

(Video) By Blade and Bolter Pt. 8 - Additions, Amendments and Questions 08.05.2026 1h 57min

*Ad Free Version available on Lorehammer Patreon, link below.*In this episode, we turn our focus to the War-Forge, the hidden industrial heart of the Crimson Armada, and the force that sustains its endless wars. We break down what the Forge is, how it functions, and the role it plays in shaping not just weapons, but the doctrines and limitations of every faction it supplies. From there, we introduce a series of amendments, refining key ideas, clarifying its relationships, and tightening how it fits within the wider structure of the Armada. We then move into a Q&A segment, tackling core questions about its purpose, control, and long-term intent, exploring what the War-Forge truly wants, if anything at all. Finally, we close the episode with a set of short narrative pieces, bringing the Forge to life through moments of calculated brutality, cold experimentation, and the relentless logic of war without end.Lorehammer Patreonhttps://www.patreon.com/c/lorehammer/membershipOne Time Donationshttps://paypal.me/lorehammerpodcastLink to all Linkshttps://linktr.ee/Lorehammer40k

*Ad Free Version available on Lorehammer Patreon, link below.*House Belli Obligatus, the War Bound, are not a noble lineage but a weapon system given form, forged in the shadow of a hidden War-Forge and unleashed upon the galaxy as instruments of calculated annihilation. Bound to a creed of Destruction and Domination, their Knights hunt the largest and most powerful engines of war, reducing Titans and bastions alike in acts of total, witnessed obliteration. Fighting alongside the Crimson Armada from the depths of the Black Hold, they have waged a ten-thousand-year campaign known as the Machina Crucible, where every kill is recorded, every failure erased, and every Engine exists for a single purpose, to prove its worth through absolute destruction.Lorehammer Patreonhttps://www.patreon.com/c/lorehammer/membershipOne Time Donationshttps://paypal.me/lorehammerpodcastLink to all Linkshttps://linktr.ee/Lorehammer40k

(Video) By Blade and Bolter Pt. 6 - The Brass Legion 01.05.2026 1h 2min

*Ad Free Version available on Lorehammer Patreon, link below.*The Brass Legion is not a force of wild berserkers, but a grinding wall of discipline in service to Khorne, an army where individuality is erased and war is waged as an unbroken, methodical advance. In this episode, we break down how this Traitor Guard regiment turns faith into function, from the Endless Tally that defines their culture to the rigid doctrine that keeps them fighting long past the point where other armies would collapse. We explore their origins within the Crimson Armada, their uneasy relationship with the War-Forge, and what happens when the Line finally breaks, because when it does, the result is just as terrifying as any chainaxe charge.Lorehammer Patreonhttps://www.patreon.com/c/lorehammer/membershipOne Time Donationshttps://paypal.me/lorehammerpodcastLink to all Linkshttps://linktr.ee/Lorehammer40k

(Video) By Blade and Bolter Pt. 5 - The Crimson Armada 27.04.2026 1h 14min

*Ad Free Version available on Lorehammer Patreon, link below.*In this episode, we break down the Crimson Armada, a Chaos warfleet that operates less like a traditional navy and more like a fully self-sustaining war empire. Born from the fires of the Great Crusade and reforged in the Horus Heresy, this fleet has evolved into a roaming engine of conquest, built on discipline, brutal hierarchy, and unwavering devotion to Khorne. We explore how its unique doctrine prioritizes cohesion and planetary assault over void supremacy, and how its integrated structure, Astartes, mortal armies, and Dark Mechanicum industry, allows it to wage continuous war across entire systems. If you’re into large-scale warfare, fleet design, and what makes a Chaos force actually function long-term, this one dives deep into how the Crimson Armada holds together.Lorehammer Patreonhttps://www.patreon.com/c/lorehammer/membershipOne Time Donationshttps://paypal.me/lorehammerpodcastLink to all Linkshttps://linktr.ee/Lorehammer40k

*Ad Free Version available on Lorehammer Patreon, link below.*Here we examine the structure of the Knights of Slaughter, from their rigid hierarchy of ranks to the hidden fractures beneath it. We explore how they govern their fleets and domains, how authority is maintained through strength and ritual, and how new warriors are brought into their ranks. From proven aspirants to broken remnants reforged through war, recruitment is as much a trial of will as it is of flesh. This episode reveals how the warband sustains itself across millennia—through control, selection, and the constant testing of those who would call themselves Knights.Lorehammer Patreonhttps://www.patreon.com/c/lorehammer/membershipOne Time Donationshttps://paypal.me/lorehammerpodcastLink to all Linkshttps://linktr.ee/Lorehammer40kPatterns
