46: Adeptus Astartes: First Born Squads | Warhammer 40K Lore
In this nose-bleed-inducing episode we take a look at all of the squad types found in a codex compliant space marine chapter. Working our way from Newly minted scout we track the path a marine takes through the chapter. Starting with the scouts and their vehicles we move to a marine’s true ascension to becoming a Devastator marine. Once they have mastered the heavier weapons of the chapter they progress to the role of an Assault marine mastering not only melee combat but also the fast assault vehicles such as bikes and landspeeders. We progress forward with a look at the all-rounder role of the Tactical marine, a role that dominates the chapter, and their dedicated transports. We close out the episode with a look at the Veteran and terminator squads that comprise the 1st company. Phew… that's a lot of images for an audio medium.Chat with us on DiscordPatreonMerchandiseQuartermaster Listen Ad-FreeSHOW IMAGESSpace Marine Scout SquadsDevastator SquadAssault SquadsTactical SquadDedicated Transport VehiclesCommand and Veteran SquadsTerminator Squads

45: Adeptus Astartes: Making a Marine | Warhammer 40K Lore
This episode we take a look at the gene-seed implants required to elevate a recruit to a neophyte within Chapters. We explore the use of Progenoid Glands, located in the throat and chest of each Astartes which mature after 5 and 10 years. We look at the process used to create all implants from the Gene-seed and the rough timescales involved and, in dire circumstances, the use of male criminals kept in artificial gestation chambers used to accelerate gene-seed production. We then take a deep dive into all 22 implants and look at the differences between Firstborn and Primaris marines as well as some of the mutations that have arisen in certain Chapters over the years.Chat with us on DiscordPatreonMerchandiseQuartermaster Listen Ad-FreeSHOW IMAGESList of ImplantsLocation of ImplantsRecruit undergoing Implantation

44: Adeptus Astartes: Recruitment | Warhammer 40K Lore
In this episode we take a look at the meticulously structured process for Space Marine recruitment. We look at how Chapters select recruits from specific homeworlds or regions, seeking individuals who demonstrate exceptional strength and unwavering loyalty. We explore preferred recruitment worlds such as Feral and Hive Worlds, known for producing robust and aggressive candidates. We look at the mythic aura around the various types of selection trials, from the straight-forward mass duels to the death to the psychically induced acid trip of the more esoteric chapters. We close out with what it means to fail in the trials together with cultural impacts for those societies who produce a worthy candidate.Chat with us on DiscordPatreonMerchandiseQuartermaster Listen Ad-FreeSHOW IMAGES: NONE

43: Adeptus Astartes: The Legiones Astartes | Warhammer 40K Lore
CLICK HERE TO VOTE ON THE CHAPTER HERITAGE!We start at the launch of the great crusade and the generic Order of Battle used by the 20 legions before experience and the rediscovery of their primarch changed them. We touch on the schism between those astartes recruited on Terra and those who came after their Primarch was rediscovered. We look at the structure of a Chapter, a central organisational block of each legion and the assets available to it. Touching briefly on the size and disposition of the Legiones astartes we skip to the end of the Horus Heresy examining what the Imperium was forced to abandon to survive, including the very Imperial Truth that rationalised the great crusade. We examine the changes wrought by Roboute Guilliman on the Astartes and wider military organisations and the central reason for its necessity.
