50: Chaos Undivided | Warhammer Old World Lore
This episode we turn our attention to the concept of chaos undivided and the role it plays in the tale of chaos as a whole. We discuss the philosophy of “The Great Beast” and how that is expressed through the tribes and armies as a whole in an almost modular fashion. We then take a look at what happens when an entire culture is abandoned by the chaos gods after millennia of favour… the Fimir have returned!

Continuing our dive into the chaos gods and their champions, it is the turn of the martial blood god Khorne.

We turn our attention to the murderous cultists of Khorne and the blood gods strained and confusing stance on magic. We dive into the continuing adventures of Aarball the Undefeated and his enormous flesh hound mount (Gabby).

47: Champions of Nurgle | Warhammer Old World Lore
Are you sick? Are you struggling with disease? Ask your apothecary if Nurgle is right for you. This episode we ooze into the worship and followers of Grandfather Nurgle. We look at the twin cultures of joyful hopelessness and bone shattering despair that characterise his many followers be they mortal cultists or the brutal Pestigor beastmen that … plague? … the Empire. Cral is delighted to hear the further adventures of Festus Leechlord and both he and Ben are mightily impressed by the Glorious brother that comprise the Glottkin, we close out the episode with the depressing tale of Valnir the reaper and reveal that it’s not all laughs and puss in the garden of Nurgle, there are mopy edgelords too.
