Lorehammer - A Warhammer 40k Podcast

• 197 - Stryxis, Thyrrus and Umbra

  *Ad Free Version available on Lorehammer Patreon, link below.* In this episode, we delve into the shadowy fringes of the galaxy to explore three of Warhammer 40K’s most mysterious and rarely seen xenos species: the Stryxis, Thyrrus, and Umbra. The Stryxis are twisted, trade-obsessed nomads, infamous for their grotesque appearance and bartering of forbidden goods across the stars. The flamboyant and chaotic Thyrrus defy conventional warfare with their theatrical tactics and irrational behavior, challenging everything we think we know about xenos psychology. Lastly, the enigmatic Umbra are beings of living shadow, whose very form defies easy comprehension and whose motives remain entirely alien. Join us as we dissect the lore, behavior, and potential roles of these obscure species in the wider grimdark universe.

• 196 - Slanni, Slaugth and Sslyth

  *Ad Free Version available on Lorehammer Patreon, link below.* In this episode, we dive into the forgotten corners of the galaxy to explore three of Warhammer 40K’s most enigmatic and underused xenos species: the ancient Slanni, the sinister Slaugth, and the mercenary Sslyth. From the cryptic ruins left behind by the Slanni—possibly one of the oldest intelligent races in the galaxy—to the grotesque and parasitic ambitions of the Slaugth, and finally the cunning, blade-wielding Sslyth who sell their skills to the highest bidder, we peel back the layers of Imperial ignorance to examine who these species are, what roles they play, and why the Imperium fears them.

• 195 - Rak’Gol Marauders

  *Ad Free Version available on Lorehammer Patreon, link below.* In this episode, we delve into the terrifying mystery of the Rak'gol—one of the most brutal and enigmatic xenos species in the Warhammer 40K universe. Savage, heavily augmented, and utterly merciless, the Rak'gol are a race of reptilian marauders known for their sudden raids on Imperial ships and outposts, often leaving no survivors. We explore their possible origins, disturbing biology, and the strange mix of primitive ferocity and advanced technology that defines their warbands. Join us as we examine why even seasoned Rogue Traders fear crossing their path—and why the Rak'gol may be far more than just another alien threat lurking in the void.

• 194 - Nekulli, Oretti and Q'orl

  *Ad Free Version available on Lorehammer Patreon, link below.* In this episode, we shine a light on some of the lesser-known xenos races lurking in the shadows of the Imperium: the Nekulli, Oretti, and Q’orl. Though often overlooked, these minor species offer fascinating glimpses into the wider galaxy beyond the major powers. We explore the enigmatic Nekulli, known for their brutal methods and mysterious biology; the elusive Oretti, whose merchant fleets drift through the void with secrets and tech unknown to the Imperium; and the insectoid Q’orl, whose hive-minds and relentless expansionism present a creeping threat on the galactic fringe. Join us as we dive into their lore, speculate on their place in the galaxy, and imagine the potential these xenos hold in the grim darkness of the far future.
