    URIEL VENTRIS: Least Depressed Named Ultramarine | Warhammer 40k Lore

    https://www.patreon.com/AdeptusRidiculous https://www.adeptusridiculous.com/ https://twitter.com/AdRidiculous https://shop.orchideight.com/collections/adeptus-ridiculous Uriel Ventris is the young captain of the 4th Company of the Ultramarines Chapter of Space Marines. Captain Uriel Ventris was born in the subterranean cities of the Imperial Civilised World of Calth in the Realm of Ultramar and chose to become an Ultramarines aspirant when he came of age to participate in the Chapter's trials. He succeeded in his quest and became an Ultramarines neophyte and then earned his way into the ranks of the Ultramarines' officer corps through his bravery and devotion to the ideals of the Ultramarines primarch, Roboute Guilliman. However, some of his battle-brothers, like Sergeant Learchus, questioned Uriel's commitment to the Codex Astartes because his friend, mentor, and predecessor Captain Idaeus, though a hero of the Chapter, was known to break the Codex 's teachings regularly. 00:00 Lengthy Intro, Book club, Merch 11:00 URIEL VENTRIS Lore Support the show

    CIAPHAS CAIN - HERO OF THE IMPERIUM | Warhammer 40k Lore

    https://www.patreon.com/AdeptusRidiculous https://www.adeptusridiculous.com/ https://twitter.com/AdRidiculous https://shop.orchideight.com/collections/adeptus-ridiculous Ciaphas Cain was an Imperial Commissar. He was in active service in the last century of M41, and was over 200 years old when he was recalled into service during the 13th Black Crusade of Abaddon the Despoiler, and it is certain that he survived more than a quarter of a century into M42. Propaganda made him out to be the hero of the Imperium circa late M41 although in truth he was mainly focused on surviving. (However, he differed from many other Imperial commissars in that he would not readily sacrifice soldiers unless it ensured his own survival.) Cain tried his utmost to avoid engaging in actual combat, but had to anyway to maintain his status as a Hero of the Imperium, which ironically involved him in more dangerous situations than any he would usually see as a commissar. He was responsible for many successful campaigns throughout his career and retired to become a professor at a Schola Progenium. In M42 the Cain Archive was published among the ranks of the Inquisition. They are sequestered by order of the Holy Ordos, and are kept and organised as the Cain Archive by Ordo Xenos Inquisitor Amberley Vail with whom Cain had many encounters over his career, and shared a close working and personal relationship. It is worth noting, as Inquisitor Vail does in footnotes throughout his memoirs, that Cain was a skilled liar and dissembler, and therefore anything to which he refers that is not independently documented could well be a fabrication to maintain his reputation.

    Skitarii: Mars' Immortal Cyborg Legions | Warhammer 40k Lore

    https://www.patreon.com/AdeptusRidiculous https://www.adeptusridiculous.com/ https://twitter.com/AdRidiculous https://shop.orchideight.com/collections/adeptus-ridiculous In this episode, Bricky and DK dive into the irradiated, heavily augmented world of the Adeptus Mechanicus Skitarii. From their origins as nomadic scavengers on the toxic dunes of Mars during the Age of Strife to becoming the unquestioning, cyborg foot soldiers of the Machine God, we cover exactly what goes into the Mechanicum's relentless forces.  Discover the brutal process of the Corpus Skitarii, including the mandatory removal of eyelids & legs, and explore the massive variety of troops deployed by the Forge Worlds. We discuss Vanguard Rad-Troopers who dissolve their own armor with radiation, Sicarian Ruststalkers moving at blinding speeds as commandos, Pteraxii taking to the skies, and the Serberys Corps riding mechanical dogs into battle. Plus, a look at the highly questionable "Project Kataphron" and what standard Imperial Guardsmen actually think of their AdMech counterparts. Support the show

    Warlord of Warlords: Black Templars Vs Ghazghkull | Warhammer 40k Lore

    https://www.patreon.com/AdeptusRidiculous https://www.adeptusridiculous.com/ https://twitter.com/AdRidiculous https://shop.orchideight.com/collections/adeptus-ridiculous The Black Templars thought they were showing up to the feudal world of Gabal to burn away the "urc" filth and bring the planet back into the Imperial fold. They definitely weren't expecting to run straight into the Beast of Armageddon himself. ​This week on Adeptus Ridiculous, Bricky, DK and Kirioth dive into the absolute madness of Denny Flowers' Ghazghkull Thraka: Warlord of Warlords. We are talking maximum Orky goodness: the Blood Axes setting wildly elaborate mountain-crushing traps, Grotsnik performing completely unhinged mid-battle surgery, Glinteef Goldakka's fabled "Mega Smasha" titan-killer WarKopta and Ghazghkull going toe-to-toe with Black Templar Marshal Adenauer.

    The Humans Who QUIT The Imperium & Survived | Warhammer 40k Lore

    https://www.patreon.com/AdeptusRidiculous https://www.adeptusridiculous.com/ https://twitter.com/AdRidiculous https://shop.orchideight.com/collections/adeptus-ridiculous In this episode, Bricky, DK, and Kirioth dive into the Severan Dominate, a rare example of a faction actually managing to secede from the Imperium of Man. On paper, seceding is as easy as just quitting, but the real difficulty is keeping the secession going. Led by the "pious" Duke Severus XIII, this splinter faction has held itself together in a dangerous area of space. Believing the Periphery sub-sector was his by right, the Duke orchestrated fake supply shortages to force his citizens into desperate rebellion. To maintain his grip, the Duke formed dark pacts with a desperate Drukhari kabal known as the Children of Thorns. Throw in an unexpected Ork invasion from Waaagh! Grimtoof, and you have the recipe for the only definitively successful secessionist group in 40K history. Support the show

    Why the Iron Warriors are Purging Cadia... Again | Warhammer 40k Lore

    https://www.patreon.com/AdeptusRidiculous https://www.adeptusridiculous.com/ https://twitter.com/AdRidiculous https://shop.orchideight.com/collections/adeptus-ridiculous The Iron Warriors are expanding their borders, and they absolutely do not care who they have to bulldoze to do it! This week, Bricky, DK, and Kirioth dive into the "Reign of Iron" lore supplement. With the Eye of Terror massively expanded after the fall of Cadia, Perturabo has set his sights on building the "Infinite Citadel" and claiming the highly-valuable Forge World of Agripinaa. But to get there, Warsmith Kravek Morne has to do some serious house cleaning. Listen in as the boys break down the Iron Warriors sneaking up on the Black Legion "Grave Robbers" who were looting Cadia, leading to the brutal execution of Lord Iordax Quan. From there, it's an all-out meat grinder on Toros Tertium against Ursula Creed and the Cadian 8th. And just when you think the Iron Warriors have it in the bag, Darnath Lysander and the Imperial Fists arrive to crash the party—mostly because they just really, really hate Perturabo's sons. Oh, and Eldrad shows up at the end. Support the show

    What Perturabo Has Been Doing for 10,000 Years | Warhammer 40k Lore

    https://www.patreon.com/AdeptusRidiculous https://www.adeptusridiculous.com/ https://twitter.com/AdRidiculous https://shop.orchideight.com/collections/adeptus-ridiculous What happens when the biggest hater in the galaxy spends 10,000 years locked in his room with an endless supply of daemonic data? You get the Infinite Citadel. Bricky and DK dive into the massive new background information on Perturabo and the Iron Warriors. From ditching Horus during the Siege of Terra to torturing Rogal Dorn into submission at the Iron Cage, Peter Turbo has always played the long game. Now, operating out of the nightmare world of Medrengard, he's weaponizing his resentment to build a fortress system so massive it spans the gulfs between stars. Get ready for the Reign of Iron.

    Farsight's Bitter Rival: Commander Shadowsun | Warhammer 40k Lore

    https://www.patreon.com/AdeptusRidiculous https://www.adeptusridiculous.com/ https://twitter.com/AdRidiculous https://shop.orchideight.com/collections/adeptus-ridiculous In this episode, Kirioth takes the wheel to teach Bricky and DK all about the Supreme Commander of the T'au Empire: O'Shaserra, better known as Shadowsun! From her early days training under the legendary Commander Puretide alongside her bonded rival, Farsight, to earning her famous moniker by assassinating Ork leaders under an artificial eclipse, Shadowsun is an absolute tactical powerhouse. We're diving deep into her mastery of the Kauyon (Patient Hunter) warfare doctrine, her brutal campaigns across the spheres of expansion, and that time she completely humiliated the Imperium by cutting Raven Guard Chapter Master Corvin Severax in half. Plus, things get seriously weird when the T'au's Fourth Sphere Expansion gets swallowed by the Warp and encounters a terrifying, multi-armed Warp Goddess of the Greater Good. Support the show
