Episode 45 - Explorator I - Tyranids

Episode 45 - Explorator I - Tyranids

Author: Dan Mitchell May 3, 2020 Duration: 59:41

Welcome to the very first episode in a brand new series of narratively-focused discussion about 40k, which we're calling the Explorator series!

In this new series, Steve and Dan will be exploring (hence the name!) various aspects of the Warhammer 40k universe. We'll be looking at the topic through three main perspectives; Lore, Modelling and Gaming. 

In this debut Explorator episode, we focus on one of Dan's favourite factions, arguably the most dangerous Xenos faction out there, the Tyranids!

Let us know what you think of the episode, what aspects of 40k you'd like us to cover in future Explorator episodes, and how we might improve the structure of such episodes too. We're always keen to hear your feedback!

Hosted by Dan Mitchell from a surprisingly sunny corner of England, Ashes of the Imperium-A Warhammer 40,000 Podcast is a deep and engaging dive into the grim darkness of the far future. This isn't just a rundown of rules or meta lists; it's a celebration of the rich stories and personal hobby journeys that make this universe so compelling. Each episode feels like a conversation with passionate friends, unpacking the intricate lore that fuels the setting and exploring how to bring that narrative to life on the tabletop. You'll find detailed discussions on running Crusade campaigns, those long-form narrative experiences that let your army's story evolve, alongside faction deep-dives that go beyond the stats to examine their history and character. The scope extends to the wider hobby as well, covering everything from painting and modelling to the specific tactical challenges of games like Kill Team. What truly sets this podcast apart are the regular interviews with various creators and members of the wider Warhammer Community, offering unique insights you won't find elsewhere. Whether you're a lore enthusiast hungry to understand the secrets of a forgotten xenos race, a painter looking for inspiration, or a gamer planning your next narrative campaign, there's a thoughtful discussion here for you. It's the perfect audio companion for your next painting session or commute, crafted for anyone who finds joy in the countless stories woven into this iconic hobby.
