    The best 40K world building and lore podcast
    I have been listening tonUnder the Hive ov Madness from the beginning and it fast became my favorite podcast. What makes it so good. First there is the lore. Many lore shows simply read from the wiii page and do little if any other research. Ryan, Marky, Tom, and Kevin actually take the time to research the material as well as adding in personal anecdotes. Secondly, the guys do a great job in explaining the process behind world building in the 40K verse. If this interests you at all then the pod is a must. Lastly they have built an active and vibrant community on discord. This community collaborated on lore, shares hobby tips, and actively supports each other.

    The HIVEQUAKE CONTINUES!
    Really awesome! Such a unique podcast that builds its own universe and plot developments as you listen to it. If you like history involving war hammer factions it’s a must add. Detailed but with a fun group of hosts that make it feel like your playing the game with them. Great warhammer advice that’s funny and entertaining from beginning to end!

    Warhammer with a twist on creative writing
    If you love Warhammer lore. If you love the idea of crafting your own lore inside the 40K Universe this is the podcast for you.

    Communities and friendship done right
    It’s amazing seeing this group of friends tackle a difficult to understand world and make it so the layman can understand it without giving up their perspective on the lore
  • roeboat.hobbies
    Spookie dookies!
    Love the stories this guys tell, really like that they are more lore focused than competitor gaming. Keep up the good work!
