W pod cast

Love the podcast. Really funny. Love the lore. Will say they did say green skin and that offended me (gets arm ripped off by green skin)

Host: They are fun and goofy. Seem like normal guys overall. I would not say they are racist/sexist/homophobic, their opinions on those are reflecting the 40K universe. Lore: Starts out rough, but as time goes in the Lore really dials in and become pretty accurate. Yes some things are missing or wrong, but GW changes stuff all the time. Listenability: I personally enjoyed it; the group had good chemistry, the Lore is interesting, and quality is good. I would say this is not family friendly, just based of of cursing. Warhammer 40K in and of itself is not family friendly so do that with what you will. Overall: I would suggest this for someone who wants to casually jump into the world and learn about it. Also I doubt most of the negative reviews regarding (racist/sexist/homophobic host or incredibly inaccurate Lore) To make such a comment without listening to every episode would be an incomplete review.

Racism is what they do and it’s NOT OK (and the podcast is cheeks)

Love you guys learnded a lot

My only criticism is that the microphone and sound quality is spotty sometimes and I hope it’s something that improves with time! Other then that this podcast is awesome!

A-BUH-DON

For a group of people running a pod called lorehammer, they know shockingly little about the actual lore and constantly spread wrong information. I started listening because I had read a number of the black library books and thought this pod would give a more in depth knowledge of niche topics. After a few episodes, I realize that they don't actually know the topics very well and the information they spread can't really be trusted.

Everything is great but that one dudes laugh

Ok I’m sry but it’s RASIST

This podcast has been a great help as a newbie in my understanding of the vast Warhammer Universe, my only criticism is the sound quality. The commercials blow my ears off in volume and then the voices of the hosts are quite low, one or two of the hosts voices are even lower. Having to constantly adjusting the volume gets annoying.

I’m listening to the podcast on Spotify while at work and absolutely love it! Sure they go off topic every once in a while but it adds to the podcast. I just finished episode 24 on the ecclesiarchy and it seems like one of the best episodes so far.

I just recently got into warhammer and was looking for an exciting podcast to listen to to inform me on the lore and get me more educated on the subject. Little did I know that I would roll onto some of my favorite hosts in podcasting. The chemistry here was palpable and I was sad to see it end; Admittedly the fighting between Erik and Mark in the first couple dozen episodes got a little worrying but it seems like they came to some sort of solution off record!! Jokes aside Christian was easily my favorite guest for the chemistry he had with the team. Hope to see something similar like this in later days and will definitely be checking out pillow talk with Mark and B in the near future

Too much ableist, homophobic nonsense. Poorly researched and extremely slipshod. Occasionally amusing and insightful, not necessarily at the same time. Overall worth skipping.

This feels like I’m listening to a few high schoolers who decided to make a podcast. The hosts can never stay on topic and this bloats the episode length. I don’t mind long episodes but when they’re long and barely on topic that’s just infuriating. I listen to podcasts while working at a lumber mill so I can’t exactly skip past tangents every time. Many of their jokes fall flat for me too, and I’m not even talking about the offensive stuff, I’ve been in the Warhammer community for long enough to expect some offensive humor, and while that’s not my cup of tea I’m going to whine about it. I’m just talking about the overall humor the hosts have, it feels like I’m listening to, again, high schoolers. Finally, the lore can be really good, but often the hosts argue points among themselves so it makes it seem like they don’t actually know what they’re talking about. Not exactly a mark of confidence to have each host “well actually” one another every few minutes. This isn’t the worst podcast in the world, but I’m sure there’s better if you just want to listen to lore.

Man… I was having a good time listening and learning about the lore but then they started making very crude jokes about LGBT and feminists. Their joking about 40K being a neckbeard hobby was funny until I realized that they actually are and don't realize it.

Tried to start this one but they hardly stay on topic and are all over the place. Maybe it gets better but solid pass for me.

Eric the people pleaser delivers -a how should I say it-tall glass of slaanesh

This is a solid four-star Warhammer 40k lore when they are able to stay on track; however, they often remind me of the old adage about attempting to herd cats. The audio also isn’t that great and it can be difficult to hear what they’re saying from time to time. I’m giving the show a five-star rating solely for all of the negative reviews by whiny liberals who believe that they should be able to police what words people use and want to ruin them for the heinous crime of WrongThink. And they’re ‘transphobic’ because they know that there are men and women, boys and girls, male and female and that you don’t get to pick which one you want to be. How dare they! Where’s Greta’s annoying butt to come cry and blame them for “climate change”? Any one that makes a bunch of whiny, petulant, idiotic SJWs call for the Waaaambulance while they shelter in place in their Safe Spaces gets a smile from me. Make them madder more often, cause them to cry themselves to sleep night after night, please and thank you.

I wanted to like this show, but after # 39 where they joke “there are too many browns”, they finally convinced me I don’t have a place in their audience. I will now gladly get my lore somewhere else.

Was enjoying until the negative comments about women. Not the community for me, sadly.

Most episodes seem to be somewhat coherent with constant interjections on if the hosts recall something correctly (making me feel as if they aren’t as researched as they should be) Aside from this, Mark and Erik strike me as the classic archetype of dudebros who decide to run a podcast in their quarter life crisis. This is only pushed by their edgelord humor and general conversations anytime they aren’t talking warhammer. Overall, while informative they feel like a representation of what the fandom should try to avoid. Their whole deal makes the fandom look bad

Great fun bite size podcast

This podcast is great to listen to while at work. It’s also great for just going anywhere. Would love to get an episode about the Blood Angels and Howling Banshees

Ok, but can be offensive sometimes

Helpful for beginners who want to get into the lore without reading through the long codexes and books

I do like this podcast, it gave me a little more insight into the life as well as the consumer base but at the same time I saw the limits to the lore. Each one of the guys have their own opinion on what 40k “should be” even if the others let alone me as the listener disagree. So, a good thought podcast but does occasionally devolve into nonsense arguments.

He is just smart enough to think he is smart, but so simple minded that he can only think from the perspective of exclusively himself. It becomes incredibly annoying when large swathes of the podcast are about thinking as a creature that is exclusively non-human. What makes it worse is that he is so bullish that he domineers most conversations on the show. Also seems fascist

Funny seeing all the people wanting to censor them for words.

I'm not part of the woke culture, but the amount of vitriol these guys spout is appaling. They can't keep on track, and when they go off topic they tangent into homophobic and racist 'jokes.' Don't listen to these guys.

I don't even play 40k, but was interested in learning the lore and got SO MUCH MORE. I could listen to these guys argue about fantasy and sci-fi and even real science, all day!

Title says it all. One of the hosts is quite prolific with hateful rhetoric and slurs. Incredibly disappointing, casts a pretty unsavory image on the warhammer community.

After being out of the GW hobbies for almost two decades, I sought out podcasts that talked about 40k’s rich lore, and this pod came to me as a suggestion. After a decent start, I started to notice a fair amount of pretty casual use of homophobic slurs, along with some pretty poor taste sexist jokes. I tried to move past these as the pod actually talked about the lore in a way that I was enjoying. However, after thirty odd episodes, the slurs were becoming more frequent, and not something I wanted to continue listening to, regardless of the content. After doing a little research into the background of the Podcast, it seems these attitudes do not change, and in the case of one host, doubling down on their behavior. Avoid.

I really wanted to like this podcast. I’ve been in the fandom for a bit and wanted a podcast that dives a bit deeper into the lore. This show definitely does that in a compelling way, but a lot of the jokes from older episodes didn’t age well. I tried to give the benefit of the doubt, and try some later episodes, but nah it’s still there. One of the main hosts thinks it’s funny that he almost slipped up and said something racist, then the homophobic jokes start pour in a few minutes after. I’m out of this one. GG

Everything about this podcast is awesome. They make the lore even more interesting and the dynamic between the hosts all the guests is professional quality. My only complaint is the dweebs that complain about them in the reviews. 10/10 recommend

was ready to learn a little bit about the lore, left feeling uncomfortable with all the casual homophobia, misogyny, and racism. really sad, cause they are decent storytellers but i can't tolerate some of the language they use.

Listened to them for 20 episodes, didn’t like their language and bigotry. Looked at their Reddit comments and saw Mark saying he won’t bow to a “woke mob” and apologize for saying the best women is weaker than the average male. Hard pass.

I love it all! So much good stuff. You can tell they put a lot of effort in and it’s great. My only complaint is that they get sidetracked a bit too much. The best part of the podcast is Jordan’s sultry voice, he doesn’t talk often but when he does it’s like drops of gold dripping from his lips lol keep it up guys!

These guys know what they are talking about and their arguments are hilarious

After a few episodes in, there is a tirade which uses fa***t a few times. That was from 2017. This is 2022. That means they have had 5 years to correct language that was used as if it was 1992. Given GWs recent statement about hate, this seems really off putting to a new player. The Imperium Is Driven by Hate. Warhammer Is Not. Don’t listen to these immature turds.

So I have had very little exposure to Warhammer40k before listening to this podcast but I found myself really enjoying the lore itself and the banter between these heretics. Jordon’s input in invaluable. I just got to the hive mind episode and the group’s optimistic outlook for 2020 was hilarious…in hindsight.

The lore is one of the greatest aspects of Warhammer 40k, and these guys seem to know it well. Unfortunately, while I understand the podcast comes with an explicit rating, their telling and discussions of this lore is often overshadowed by mildly to blatantly homophobic, racist, and misogynistic tangents and “jokes” that express beliefs I personally find problematic. I’m not trying to take the moral high ground or make sweeping judgements on them as people, I’m just saying that I struggle to engage with the fictional lore the podcast is trying to communicate when it is overshadowed by comments with harmful real world implications. Again, I find that their telling of the lore—which they clearly have a passion for—being overshadowed by such views as unfortunate as it is problematic, and for these reasons I will have to look elsewhere for Warhammer 40k lore-related content.

Say what you will about neckbeards, they actually do get lore of their fandoms right. They know about that. They’re disgusting otherwise. These guys aren’t neckbeards, though. They don’t even get the lore of 40k right. It’s just a bunch of white guys confidently saying things that are incorrect and then making snide jokes about feminists, Mexicans, and black people. And, if that wasn’t bad enough, the production quality is nonexistent. Why do people listen to this?

I started listening to this podcast a few weeks ago starting from the very first episode. I’ve been listening everyday during the work week. So far I’m on episode 45 and I’m pretty entertained. I’m a welder so I use bluetooth ear protection and usually listen to audio books for about 8 hours a day, but I have been hooked. As soon as I catch up to the most recent episodes I will drop another review. Great job.

Great content, they keep things mostly pg. despite them being heretics.

Absolute heresy nothing less

They’re a great bunch of guys that will make you chuckle when the podcast turns to chaos and just falls apart. Then eventually will get back on track. If you like Warhammer40k lore this is the podcast for you. LoreHammer40K

While the structure was good, every episode felt like an argument on who knew more rather than actual discussions being had. One of the hosts went on a long tangent about how women shouldn’t be space marines in their tabletop wargame. Probably one of the most pathetic things I have ever heard on a podcast. Very hard to listen to without feeling second hand embarrassment

I love listening to this, it allows me to zone out while I’m doing my work

I’ve always had a passive interest in 40k, and this podcast is helping me understand more of the universe behind the game. I am now planning a Chaos Space Marine army.
