  • Nah

    Used to listen to on another platform. Started out good enough, long episodes exploring lots of details. Even if they had a hard time reading on air. Then it eventually fell apart with lots of giggly incel energy. Yes Ads are annoying but can be tolerated if the show didn’t devolve into a group of friends ranting and complaining.

  • I was initially going to wait till I listened through all of their episodes to date before giving them a review, but it has gotten to the point where I am legitimately angry at this complete waste of my time. My expectation was that I would learn new things about the WH40K lore, things usually only discussed in the many books, while listening to that podcast.

    Crazy how quickly they turned a Warhammer pod into a whiny pod about their politics. People listen for you to talk about made up stories from fantasy and sci fi novels. Stop the political rants that come across like a bunch of incels who are scared of women.

    A lot of better podcasts out there for 40k lore.

    A bunch of incels with poor audio equipment. Two thumbs way down.

    Crazy how quickly they turned a Warhammer pod into a whiny pod about their politics. Your notoriety comes from memorizing lore from fantasy novels and codexes. Your political rants come across like a bunch of incels who are intimidated by women.
