*Ad Free Version available on Lorehammer Patreon, link below.*In this episode, we dive teeth-first into one of the Imperium’s most unsettling and elusive Space Marine Chapters — the Astra Crota, known to some as the Space Crocs. Born of White Scars gene-stock but twisted by the endless pursuit of warp-beasts called Crotalids, the Astra Crota are part hunter, part monster. We’ll explore their fleet-based existence, their savage traditions, and the psychic rituals that blur the line between man, beast, and warp entity. From their vanished Chief Librarian to their cursed relics and scattered survivors, the Astra Crota embody the Imperium’s darkest truth: that sometimes, to hunt the monster, you must become one.Lorehammer Patreonhttps://www.patreon.com/c/lorehammer/membershipOne Time Donationshttps://paypal.me/lorehammerpodcastLink to all Linkshttps://linktr.ee/Lorehammer40k

(Video) 213 - Iron Hands, 30k Legion Era
*Ad Free Version available on Lorehammer Patreon, link below.*In this episode, we descend into the forge-wrought saga of the Iron Hands Legion—from their unyielding rise during the Great Crusade, through the breaking of their brotherhood in the Horus Heresy, to their grim reforging amid the ashes of the Great Scouring. Once led by the indomitable Ferrus Manus, the Iron Hands were the Emperor’s purest expression of strength through discipline and machinery. Yet when their Primarch fell to Fulgrim’s blade on Isstvan V, their iron resolve fractured into bitter self-loathing and relentless augmentation. We’ll explore how the sons of Medusa turned their grief into doctrine, purging weakness from flesh and soul alike, until only the machine endured. This is the story of steel’s triumph over sorrow—and of humanity sacrificed on the altar of perfection.Lorehammer Patreonhttps://www.patreon.com/c/lorehammer/membershipOne Time Donationshttps://paypal.me/lorehammerpodcastLink to all Linkshttps://linktr.ee/Lorehammer40k
