In this episode we look at the campaign that never was, the Storm of Chaos ... aos ... aos... We start with the overly eager Chaos Zar Surtha Lenk as he invades the Empire and lays siege to the Wolfenburg. We detail the internal and External schism of the empire that is somewhat resolved by the Conclave of Light. We discuss the political genius of the Emperor Karl Franz in dealing with Sigmar Reborn and the titanic battles all factions on the Fated Place must endure. When then go through a the campaign at nose-bleed speed with a lot of "meanwhiles" and "suddenlies". We end the episode in the same weird anti-climactic tone of the campaign itself and decide that it is better that it was all retconned... THIS NEVER HAPPENED

44: Warriors of Chaos History Part 3 | Warhammer Old World Lore
We ramp up the general chaos of our coverage by engaging in snapshots of the rise and lives of the numerous chaos champions. From Deiderick Kastner to Festus the Leechlord we look at their events and campaigns as we march inexorably to the end times. We take a gander at Sigvald the Magnificents soft armoured invasion of Ulthuan and Egrimm van Horstmann’s duplicitous life of magic, as well as his stealthy exit from Altdorf. We explore the evil skin-tag Vilitch the Curseling and the delightful Tamurkhan and his journey to Daemonhood. We close out the episode with a couple of notes on Archaon, the Storm of Chaos and the End Times.

43: Warriors of Chaos History Part 2 | Warhammer Old World Lore
2,300 years of history in an hour and a half. We take a look at the time from the first to the twelfth Everchosen of Chaos. We dart through the champions and events of note stopping to gawk at Dragon Ogre Shaggoths and their Things of Skulls, Chaos Dragons and their split personalities and the life giving champions… of death. From Dark Elves to the Tomb Kings we look at how the forces of chaos are recorded through other race’s history. We close out the episode with the Great war against Chaos in 2301-2303 looking at the major events and battles of not only of Asavar Kul’s legions but also the defending forces of the Empire, Kislev and Dwarfs.

42: Warriors of Chaos History Part 1 | Warhammer Old World Lore
We launch into the History of the Warriors of Chaos by heading BACK to the future, no to the collapse of the polar gates. We discuss Belakor’s rise and fall and the Dwarfs that would become Chorfs AKA Chaos Dwarfs, all while trying to work out who the nameless chaos champions of early history were. We touch on some of the more notable battles as well as the defences that different races use against them. We close out the episode with a look at two of the more famous Champions of Chaos, Azazel (née Gerreon) and Morkar, the retconned first Everchosen of Chaos or Pillager of Ulthuan… Dhar’s still not sure.

41: Champions of Chaos | Warhammer Old World Lore
Continuing our look at the great tribes of the north we look at the role played by Chaos Champions. Leaders, sorcerers and prophetic warriors of the gods, Chaos Champions represent the most “colourful” aspects of the followers of chaos in Warhammer the Old World. We discuss how one begins on the eightfold pathway to Daemonhood and what challenges such beings face as they begin their inevitable pilgrimage North. We look at four such champions and their warbands from the heyday of the Realms of Chaos books and detail their followers and rewards.
