Welcome back to Adeptus Ridiculous! Today, Bricky and DK are joined by special guest TheAmberKing to dive deep into the tragic and chaotic conclusion of the Eisenhorn trilogy: Hereticus. Things go from bad to absolutely disastrous for our favorite Inquisitor. His radical views finally catch up with him, his inner circle fractures, and a certain Daemonhost gets way too comfortable. It’s a downward spiral of heresy, tragedy, and some of the greatest Warhammer 40k lore ever written. Support the show

His pitch? A USB drive full of demonic malware from the sealed Vaults of Moravec. The result is the Death of Innocence—a catastrophic scrap-code virus that kills millions in minutes, corrupts entire Titan legions, and plunges Mars into an apocalyptic civil war. Bricky, DK, and special guest Kirioth dive into the Schism of Mars, navigating through the madness of the Kaban Machine’s rampage, the Alpha Legion's sneaky sabotage, and Koriel Zeth’s decision to drown her own forge in lava rather than hand it over to the traitors.

Bricky, DK, and Kirioth dive into the black sands of the Urgall Depression to break down the most devastating trap in Warhammer 40k history. Horus laid the bait, and a deeply enraged Ferrus Manus charged right in. We cover the massive orbital drop, the brutal mechanized slaughter, and the grueling four hours that culminated in a single blood-red flare illuminating the sky. When the "reinforcements" finally opened fire, the Iron Hands, Raven Guard, and Salamanders were locked in an inescapable crossfire that would leave over 90% of their deployed forces dead or captured. From the sheer tactical devastation to Fulgrim pulling the ultimate cowardly move on his closest brother, this is the definitive breakdown of the day the Imperium broke. Support the show

https://www.patreon.com/AdeptusRidiculous https://www.adeptusridiculous.com/ https://twitter.com/AdRidiculous https://shop.orchideight.com/collections/adeptus-ridiculous Horus Lupercal had a flawless plan to kick off his massive rebellion: send 100,000 loyalist Space Marines down to the surface of Isstvan III under the guise of compliance, sever their communications, and obliterate them with Life-Eater Virus bombs. The atmosphere would literally ignite, and 12 billion souls would evaporate in an instant. Clean, efficient, and devastating. ​Well, not quite. ​This week, Bricky, DK, and Kirioth dive headfirst into the blood-soaked tragedy of the Isstvan III Atrocity. We cover the desperate flight of Nathaniel Garro on the Eisenstein, Saul Tarvitz's heroic last-minute warning that allowed 2/3rds of the loyalists to seek shelter, and the agonizing final stands of legendary Astartes like Ancient Rylanor and Ullis Temeter. 00:00 Intro 08:00 The Isstvan III Atrocity Support the show

This week, Bricky and DK dive into one of the most devastating events of the Horus Heresy: The Burning of Prospero. The Emperor sends Leman Russ and his Space Wolves to bring Magnus in for a cosmic timeout, but thanks to a little treasonous whispering from Horus, things escalate from a simple arrest warrant to total planetary annihilation. Tune in for a chaotic breakdown of the Council of Nikaea, the sheer arrogance of the Thousand Sons' lack of anti-air defenses, devastating flesh-changes, and Leman Russ going full Bane on Magnus' spine.

Sure, we all blindly accept genetically modified super soldiers firing Pepsi-can-sized bullets packed with razor wire, but that is just the tip of the iceberg. This week, Bricky, DK, and Kirioth are diving deep into the absolute absurdity of the Adeptus Astartes arsenal to look at the weirdest, most broken, and outright illegal firearms in the galaxy: from lost Dark Age of Technology relics to chaotic master-crafted monstrosities, the Imperium has dreamed up some truly unhinged ways to rapid-fire war crimes across the battlefield. We are checking out lost art of Volkite and Phosphex combustion weapons, why Conversion Beamers require the operator to stand perfectly still on an anti-grav platform, and exploring exactly why the Deathwatch gets to horde all the most broken toys.

Bricky, DK, and special guest host TheAmberKing dive into Malleus, the second book in Dan Abnett's iconic Eisenhorn series. We are breaking down the slippery slope of radicalism, how righteous zeal twists into outright heresy, and why trying to save the Imperium at any cost usually means becoming the very monster you swore to destroy.

Now, they finally have a Kill Team box, and we are diving into the lore of the Exodites! Long before the Fall, these puritanical Eldar looked at the absolute degeneracy of their society, packed their bags, and decided to hard-reset their civilization on primordial Maiden Worlds. Bricky and DK discuss the history of these isolationist cousins of the Craftworlders, their deep connection to the World Spirits, and the absolute majesty of physically dominating a massive Carnosaur just to bring it to a gunfight. Plus, we cover the newest lore from the Kill Team box: Fangrippa da Skullbreaka's Beast Snagga Orks invading the sacred Maiden World of Syph. Support the show

In this massive episode, Bricky, DK, and Kirioth break down the epic conclusion of the 10th Edition storyline and the explosive kickoff to Warhammer 40k's 11th Edition. ​Just as the Imperium thought the Orks were on the ropes after the Season of Fire, Ghazghkull Mag Uruk Thraka initiates a master plan. Using the experimental Mega-Tellyshokka, an entire Ork armada is instantly warped into the system, displacing entire moons and space stations in the process. With Wazdakka Gutsmek's relentless Speedwaaagh! tearing across the planet and encircling Hive Volcanus, all hope seems lost—until a ghost steps off a Space Wolves gunship. Commissar Sebastian Yarrick, Ol' Bale Eye himself, has returned to rally the desperate defense. Support the show

Today, DK and Bricky are joined by the legendary PancreasNoWork to journey to the donut-island of Ulthuan and discuss the most arrogant, powerful, and utterly ridiculous High Elves in Warhammer Fantasy. Love them or hate them, the Asur have produced some of the greatest heroes in the setting. We're breaking down the legendary deeds, the massive egos, and the tragic lore of Ulthuan’s finest.

Hive Fleet Leviathan is knocking on the doors of the Arx Angelicum, and Commander Dante is fighting through crushing existential dread and survivor's guilt to lead the sons of Sanguinius in what looks like a doomed final stand. DK, Bricky, and Kirioth break down the absolute bloodbath, from Gabriel Seth being the best boy and Ka'Bandha crashing the party uninvited, to Sanguinius forcing Dante to put another coin in the arcade machine of life.  This episode features Dante from the Warhammer 40,000™ Series.

In part one of our massive Devastation of Baal coverage, we're joined by Kirioth to break down the Cryptus Campaign. What was supposed to be the ultimate shield system against Hive Fleet Leviathan turns into an absolute nightmare of frozen bug ships, desperate Cadian last stands, and a Tyranid swarm so massive it literally blacks out the skies. Things get so incredibly bleak that Commander Dante and the Blood Angels have to rely on a literal C'tan-throwing Necron team-up just to buy some time. We cover the tragic fall of the Shieldworlds, the Sanguinor finally breaking its silence, and why Dante is just having the absolute worst week of his long, long life. Part 2 coming next week!

Operating beyond the Imperium's borders as a nomadic predation fleet, these pale, black-eyed killers are driven by a brutal necessity to harvest their own supplies and recruits through the infamous Red and Grey Tithes. From their mysterious origins and suspected Raven Guard lineage to the impossibly fast, terminator-clad Chapter Master Tyberos the Red Wake, we're covering exactly why you never want to see these guys show up to "rescue" your planet.
