The 40k Lorecast

Van Boyer over this, what might be the best book in the entire series?

It's pretty sweet.

The honest read flight devised in Stein, spoiler alert.

I really encourage everybody this listening. Read the deathguard novels, read the horse hair scene novels of that involve the flight and everything else.

Now the next cast we're going to be doing great nights in flight devise andstein.

For those who read the books, you really should read the books of Marisande

If you read the story it's a lot more dynamic

For those who are not aware, one of the moons of Jupiter is Titan. It's not there anymore.

I honestly have read this five times and went I don't follow and moved on with my day

If you've read the early Horus Heresy books and have read the later Horus Heresy books but play modern 40k and say hey why this really important character from the novel not in 40k this battle, that is true, everyone dies.

I honestly I read the book a couple times and I went in my head kept calling the Einstein and then I was when I researched and realized I missed an s it is the Eisenstein not the Einstein.

the flight of the islstein is a novel very good book at that so we're gonna spend some time on this for a lot of very good reasons

Late 90s when I first found out about 40k, I read The Horus Heresy which is the basis of the game.

Everything that they did is the huge civil war that split the galaxy broke the Empire broke slash made the Imperium to what it is right now and set the stage for literally the game of 40k. This is what it's based off.

This is probably the most exciting lore in the game.

I think my perspective is a smart move he decides not to hand the reins of the empire over to his what I'm going to call mutant children because they are he instead hands the reins to mankind

please read the Horus Areses novels

On today's cast we start our coverage of the Grey Knights by focusing on their origin from the Horus Heresy. We open with, arguably the most exciting book of the Horus Heresy the Flight of the Eisenstein.

Yeah, so it's like my favorite story.

I felt was as a very well-written action pack you need the other information unfortunately for it. But once you set them that's what I'm saying is the horse rising sets the stage. But like as a standalone tale, this is fantastic.

Literally, I have one complaint in the flight of Eisenstein. It's not the book. It's the complaint that the drop-off after flight of Eisenstein is pretty aggressive. Like if you read the books in order you read flight of Eisenstein and you are super excited.

He's one of my it's just my one of my favorite series of books.

if you haven't read read them but awesome

his his in the eisenhorn novels his compatriot is a blank she didn't even know she was a blank until eisenhorn found her and then trains her up and that's what that would be your result

If you haven't read the eisenhorn novels, you should; they do a good job of...letting you experience it

Eisenhorn is routinely accused of heresy and it's a long event has witch hunters said after him. It's because he's constantly doing things that are breaking the letter of the logs all the time.

I've read the eyes on our books twice. Yeah, because I just love them

There's a couple others, the rabbit are serious, but there's a lot of others in the thing is is that the guys that are the biggest hassles, the puritan Aquisitors.

There's a very good moment in this in the eyes of the horn second novel, which I really I love. Just go read the book.

He's part of yeah, like maybe some of the best books black library ever

I mean that same thing. I think you get these you've never heard of them, but they matter

For the Eisenhower novel

There is an element. I have some of the Eisenhorn novel where I'm like Where where would that watch like he's like he's fighting When he's nobody gets to run into the bus more than Eisenhorn.

I think the best way to kind of conclude this is What is a zenos threat? And that is the biggest question For the ordo zenos is as we as we said, but there's endless amounts of zenos

If you haven't read it, read it. The opening is really cool.

Because the person claims to be the emperor of mankind.

It's just good

the night hunter's novel that's what it is I realize it's just the novels are so good everyone let's do it

Fantastic books by the way. Really those books that come in and this set up the launch of eighth edition.

I recommend this a ton. The lore in those books and there's a ton of stories in all of The Gathering Storm books. Very well written too.

We are effectively writing this cast After reading the Imperial Infantryman's Uplifting Timer

Because it might be the best thing GW ever was

It is exceptionally well written

That is by the way An actual quote from the

This is in the primer by

He's got an enslave her. He also has a custodew just stuck there on original rubik's cube. I figure what movie that's from but it's a movie reference from the rap scene with him. He has a clone of fulgrum and a cork. He also has a orac on the diviner for now currently. And a certain leader of the imperial guard who everyone thinks is dead but it's in stasis.

Armand has the book of Magnus exactly. He's got all the knowledge. He is literally number two all of the knowledge that you can get well at least that man tight knows about yeah, unless you're the emperor and you've got all kinds of shit, you won't let anybody know about it because you're a bad person

And this is the one time i'm gonna take Magnus's side because armans entire plan here is to use the powers of the warp to overpower The curse that's on his that's on him and his brothers From a warp god

So arm on uses the book of Magnus and figures out a super special spell that will That will present the busy removes the flesh curse from them a tests it out a few times And it's successful

But also the ravener books. There is no interaction in those books where he leaves it's positive for the place that he left.

I mean, I just read nothing to talk about today Gaunt's Ghosts Gaunt's Ghost uh airmons airmark. These these are insanely well written books with great storyline And they make the characters so much more fleshed out And to be honest with you I enjoy In the game

So Brad actually compiled a list because he's prepared. I do and we've got Soul Hunter, which is the first book of the Night Lord's trilogy. It's fantastic.

The Black Legion series, Talon of Horus and the Black Legion they do POVs of the dawn on that. That's cool. I think it's really good.

I think it's really good. The sixth edition Black Legion Codex supplement has a wild amount of great stories in it.

Yeah, like six times because I keep falling asleep in the middle of it.

I've been present to it being read to me.

This is the first time mankind really gets a taste of what the Orks can be.

This is the first one I have because the Ulanor wasn't really a law. It was just it was just a lot of it was a centerpiece of an army, of an Ork Empire, same with the great crusade.

I'm going to skip ahead. Vulcan and the beast fight. Vulcan eventually realizes that he can't kill the beast. But also he knows a way to get rid of the beast.

one story i did like that came i think he went out of the octarius books was that all of a sudden gas can actually feel and command orcs from across the galaxy

and i know we've got the new custodians book in 40k but the lore for a long time was these guys were either before during or after it depends on which book you pick up but what they are is the perfection of him trying to distill himself into physical form and the biggest thing about this is we could make only a very limited amount of this because everyone died from doing less than one in a thousand survived well it's just not even one of a thousand but also the emperor again being kind of a dick he was also just throwing some of these in the garbage he was just full full sparta throwing them off the cliff even the ones that survived he only really wanted the best of the best of the best at that point in time is he handpicked the custodes because he wanted these basically unachievable these were i feel like every custodian that happened was an accident basically you're like i can throw this dart down through this building a mile away catch this gust of wind every trick shot video we've ever seen these guys do it on the first take yeah that's what they can do and they are perfect in every way

if you haven't read his book it is fantastic the books are great it's just a bit this is are you playing longer have nightlords ever been good no they're they are perennially given the most useless just every time an insane planet the prison planet ruled by psychos and he became a hunter in the dark like when i say hunter he hunted down crime lords as super batman if he had real problems yeah batman with superpowers well batman was superpowers also with a lot of mental health issues because he hears voices he also sees the future con red cruise gets his own legion which he populates with murderers from a prison crew's also read his book he has a fantastic book where he's caught and basically escapes and does alien in 40k and he is by the full crazy he is wow this guy's guys it would be way cooler if the nine foot tall tall guy with superpowers wasn't completely off the deep end
