The Golden Age of Goofy Minis: A look at 1996 Warhammer 40k Catalog

https://www.patreon.com/AdeptusRidiculoushttps://www.adeptusridiculous.com/https://twitter.com/AdRidiculoushttps://shop.orchideight.com/collections/adeptus-ridiculousWe found a Warhammer catalog from 30 years ago, and the miniatures are... interesting. Join us for a trip down memory lane as we react to the 1996 Citadel US Annual. We compare these vintage metal models to their modern counterparts to see just how much the hobby has evolved. ​Some of these sculpts are nostalgic classics, and some are absolute nightmare fuel. Let's discuss the massive glow-up of the Warhammer 40,000 range.Support the show

Hot Takes Only: The 2025 Warhammer Recap

https://www.makeship.com/petitions/shy-plushie LAST CHANCE TO GET PLUSHhttps://www.patreon.com/AdeptusRidiculoushttps://www.adeptusridiculous.com/https://twitter.com/AdRidiculoushttps://shop.orchideight.com/collections/adeptus-ridiculous2025 might go down as the wildest year in Warhammer history. We are finally getting the heavy hitters we’ve been memeing about for a decade. ​Join the "greatest philosophers of our time" as we try to process the absolute flood of grimdark gaming content that is coming our way soon. Starting with the best miniatures of the year, then moving from minis to the strategy battle of the century (Total War 40k vs. Dawn of War 4) to the boomer shooter supremacy of Boltgun 2 - we are breaking down everything. Will Space Marine 3 live up to the Titus hype? Will the 11th edition actually be balanced? And how many hours will we lose to Warhammer Survivors?Support the show

BJORN | Warhammer 40k Lore

https://www.patreon.com/AdeptusRidiculoushttps://www.adeptusridiculous.com/https://twitter.com/AdRidiculoushttps://shop.orchideight.com/collections/adeptus-ridiculous​Bjorn is not just a Space Wolf; in many respects, he is THE Space Wolf. From walking beside the Allfather himself during the Great Crusade to spending the last 10,000 years napping in a Dreadnought, Bjorn has a saga longer than the modern Imperium. ​In this episode, we cover the absolute unit that is Bjorn the Fell-Handed. We dive into his early days of accidentally shooting down Kasper Hawser (oopsies), his five-year hunt for the demon Arvax to avenge his pack, and the conflicting sources on how exactly he lost his hand—was it chopped off by Valdor or lost to a demon on Prospero?. ​But it’s not all ancient history. We also break down the Battle of the Fang, where a very angry, freshly-woken Bjorn decided to treat a Daemon Primarch like a piñata. Plus, we discuss the time he told the Inquisition to shove it, reminding them that calling the Emperor a "god" is exactly how this whole mess started.Support the show

FLESH TEARERS: They're good guys! Sort of | Warhammer 40k Lore

https://www.makeship.com/products/shy-plushiehttps://www.patreon.com/AdeptusRidiculoushttps://www.adeptusridiculous.com/https://twitter.com/AdRidiculoushttps://shop.orchideight.com/collections/adeptus-ridiculous​In this episode, we dive into the lore of the Flesh Tearers—one of the oldest and most violent Space Marine chapters. They might wear the aquila, but between the "human blood farms" on Cretacia and their casual habit of slaughtering their own allies, the line between "Loyalist" and "Heretic" is looking a little blurry.​From the original Flesh Tearer, Nassir Amit (the man who told a traitor to "eat s**t" mid-duel), to the current Chapter Master Gabriel Seth, we’re covering why these sons of Sanguinius crave violence just as much as honor.Support the show

The Book GW Wants You To Forget: Jaq Draco Trilogy | Warhammer 40k

https://www.patreon.com/AdeptusRidiculoushttps://www.adeptusridiculous.com/https://twitter.com/AdRidiculoushttps://shop.orchideight.com/collections/adeptus-ridiculousWe finally did it. We read the most cursed, infamous, and absolutely unhinged trilogy in Warhammer 40,000 history: Ian Watson’s The Inquisition War.​Back in 1990, before the lore was established, Games Workshop tapped an award-winning sci-fi author to introduce the universe. The result? A disaster featuring Inquisitor Jaq Draco and a retinue that includes a Squat and an assassin who had surgery to transform into a "sexy" Genestealer.​In this anniversary episode, we suffer so you don't have to. We’re diving deep into the absolute madness.Support the show
