Andy & Sotek vs. the End Times Part 2! Lorebeards Anniversary Special Part 2 Season 6 Episode 31

A rare treat is when the Lorebeards shuffle away from simply exploring the lore that is written by others and instead put on their creative hats to make something entirely new! There have been quite a few requests for a return to this format after the popular Tamurkhan Brother's/Throne of Chaos series so at last the time has come! This time the Lorebeards will be calling upon Skink artisans and Kroxigor movers to assist with the construction of a brand new Lizardmen Temple-City! Along with a considerable amount of aid from the live audience during this stream, we'll have to figure out where to put this city, how to theme it, what structures it'll need, and much more! This stream probably won't be that great for podcast format so do pop over to the Loremaster of Sotek channel to find the VOD if you're so inclined.

There are many bizarre and horrendous curses to be found across the Warhammer world. Whether its transformation of the flesh, loss of the mind, or erosion of the spirit there can be countless magical threats for one to fear. There is one curse, however, that uniquely preys upon the most desperate of humans. A creeping horror that burrows into those vulnerable people forced to turn to cannibalism as their only hope of survival. The tragic process which twists a normal man or woman into the troglodyte creature known as a Ghoul. Join Andy & Sotek as they shine light upon the origins of the Ghoul Curse, how it manifests, and what becomes of those that fall prey to its sinister touch.

We all know the horrific power that is Nagash, the Great Necromancer and Lord of Undeath. One of the most powerful forces to torment the Warhammer world, Nagash is practically a God who utilizes endless legions of undead and rotten monstrosities to crush his enemies. Yet he does not work alone in his grand designs to dominate all things. Even as far back as his rise to the position of Priest-King of Khemri, Nagash has relied upon Nine Dread Lords to enact his will and lead his armies. Later granted the title of "Mortarch", these vampires, wraiths, and skeletal champions have gone down in history for their incredible power and ruthless efficiency. Join Andy & Sotek as they dive into the known individuals ascended to the highest ranks of Nagash's Undead Legions. While only a small number of the original 9 are remembered, the full roster of the End Times individuals are up to be discussed! This bonus Wednesday episode does include heavy chat interaction as well so it will be interesting to see in what Tier each Mortarch lands!

No matter where one might go in the world, they'll not set foot in lands that haven't felt the heavy tread of Golgfag Maneater! One of the oldest named characters in Warhammer Fantasy, Golgfag truly is the greatest mercenary to ever live. He's fought, killed, and eaten damn near every creature known and will happily accept anyone's coin. Not only has he achieved legendary status due to his own exploits, but has even spawned an absurd number of copycats to the point that "Maneater" is just the standard term for Ogre mercenaries now. Join Andy & Sotek as they pick the truth out from the myths like gristle off a roasted Rhinox leg to fully discovery the legacy of Golgfag Maneater.

One of the most popular Wednesday night formats that has emerged amongst the history of Lorebeards is our totally-not-insane Tierlist streams that rank a particular subject within the Warhammer world. Today a rather sinister yet comical subject matter has arrived to be ranked! That of course being the infamous Council of Thirteen, the masters of the Skaven Under-Empire! Join Andy & Sotek as they delve deep into the history, strengths, and Lords of Decay ruling over each of the Clans. How will they rank up? These streams include a considerable amount of community involvement so we'll have to see what happens!

Welcome back to Lorebeards, where Andy Law & Loremaster of Sotek journey throughout the Warhammer world to educate the masses on all the wonderful and horrible things that can be discovered! Today we'll be venturing into the Eastern Steppes, north of Grand Cathay's Great Bastion. A wild windswept plain of incredible size known for being the last uncorrupted land before one reaches the Chaos Wastes. Among the tall grasses and cracked dry patches lies an entire nation of incredible size, despite having no cities or stone foundations. Instead it is an colossal tide of Giant Wolves and Hobhounds pulling settlements built upon wheeled platforms that roams around to stay ahead of Chaos hordes and strike at vulnerable targets to loot and plunder. This is the Hobgoblin Khanate, made up by the titular Hobgoblins. A strange sub-species of the Greenskins race that are infamous for their backstabbing nature and nomadic lifestyle. Without further ado let's get into it!

Join Sotek & Andy Law as they finish off the birthday/anniversary episodes of Lorebeards with the grand finale of Sigmar Heldenhammer! The legendary founder of the Empire and totally not a war criminal, Sigmar is one of the most important figures in all of Warhammer Fantasy. After all, he does wield THE Warhammer. In any event, Sigmar has a GREAT many stories about his life that we'll be exploring today. As there is so much to cover, today we'll be focusing far more on the mortal life of Sigmar and see how far we get!

After FAR too long of a hiatus due to the ravages of Grandfather Nurgle and Clan Pestilens, the Lorebeards have finally returned! For this stream we resume where we left off with the Anniversary Special, turning our attention fully on the bizarre multiversal sandbox that is the Total War Warhammer universe! There's been tons of patches, DLCs, and FLCs added to this game over the last near-decade, but if executive power were given to Andy & Sotek, what insanity might they unleash to try and craft the perfect game? Well grab your drink of choice and settle in to find out!

The time has come for Loremaster of Sotek & Andy Law to continue their celebration of a year's worth of Lorebeards after Grandfather Nurgle wreaked a bit of havoc on the schedule. After several visits to the Temples of Shallya, Andy is well enough once more to carry on the fight against the greatest foe of any Warhammer fan...the End Times! While the Lorebeards have faced off against this calamity before, this time they'll be focusing on several specific aspects rather than just the overall events. So prepare to see some angry nerds rant and rave against Lileath and the dying of the light!

LOREBEARDS IS OFFICIALLY (A little over) ONE YEAR OLD! Andy & Sotek are delighted to celebrate a full cycle around the sun of delving into Warhammer Fantasy lore. It has been an unparalleled pleasure to engage in weekly discussions about our favorite setting with you all whether it be about the myriad races and characters found across the width of the world. To celebrate this occasion, the Lorebeards have decided to dedicate an entire month of goodies for everyone to enjoy! The first part of this 4-part series shall be to....ASK US ANYTHING! A unique stream in which we'll be doing our damnedest to answer as many questions as possible in the time allotted!
