MARK!!
So i recently heavily got into warhammer gaming, books, audio and video ect. No tabletop yet. But i needed something to kill time an love the universe. Started listening 4 weeks ago. An burning through 2-3 a day. Im a commercial electrician so it really helps. (Mark knows.) Love all you guys, Jordan ,Christian, Eric , and Mark. You remind me of my friend group that I don’t get to see much anymore. (Need nee friends to hang with if have a discord.) Anyways, i love the show for all it is the info, the lore, the rants, all the sidebars and the laughter an same sense of humor. You guys make me feel I’m part of the group. Big fan. Hope this is on an episode I can hear when i catch up. Much love great group. Thanks for not being woke libtards an just being chill. Also I’m quite positive y’all are Canadians which is even better to hear. I live in the south in America

Brag About Income from Podcast, Ads Increase
I started listening to this show a while back. I stepped away for a bit, and when I returned I heard a seemingly "Final" episode in which the hosts were patting themselves on the back for making money from the podcast. They have both a Patreon and an intolerable amount of ads in each episode.
All of this for sitting around and talking about a company's product. A product they play no part in making, designing, etc. They’re basically useful idiots for a corporation who permits this for free advertising. It's greedy marketing all the way down.
It's fine to get paid for spending time making something, but there comes a point where the creator goes to far and flips their product, usually for greater income, and undermines the value of everything they do. Such is the case here.
I'm done listening to these kinds of people. I urge others to consider similar action.

Good W40K Show
Great Show! Good picks / discussions. One note- you all need to practice reading on air- lots of times u guys stumble over quotes u read and it really takes you out of the moment. Everything else top notch!

Awesome Podcast
After not playing Warhammer for a while I was looking for a podcast that teaches the lore while also being entertaining. This podcast was absolutely that. They are funny and informative. Overall I definitely recommend.

Pretty decent lore podcast
I like the lore. It’s a nice thing to listen to while building and painting. The episodes are a little long, and they tend to get sidetracked, but other than that, it’s a pretty decent show.

Yikes
Great information. Made it through 7 episodes until bashing feminism and repeatedly dropping the F slur (in one rant) drove me away.

occasional warhammer talk
it’s a pretty decent podcast when they stop rambling and actually talk about warhammer lore 👍

One of the best Warhammer podcasts!
I’ve seen Slaanesh and it’s a big titty goth girl with Ryan Goslings face

New listener
I am a newbie to Warhammer 40K was looking for a podcast when I came across you guys. I really enjoy the podcast and am learning a lot from you all. I come from a radio background and think the chemistry and dialogue is fantastic. The delivery is very good. I hope the podcast continues to grow and I’ll keep listening.

I enjoy the show but…
I really enjoy the show BUT, Christian and the other co-host in episode 131 need to learn to SPEAK INTO THEIR MICROPHONE. It is not the first time I’ve had issues with these two particular co-hosts. They are too quiet, even when I have the volume up. Especially if I am driving. The main host is fine but the other two are awful and need to speak up into their microphones.

Politics and personal opinions
Really enjoy the content, really enjoy the knowledge of the lore. But Jesus give the politics and personal opinions a rest, or at least edit it. It’s not related and takes up so much time that I sometimes miss important information trying to skip over it. No one tunes in for your personal opinions on politics or gender.

Great content
I love the conversation but the random ad cuts ruin the experience every time. After 100+ episodes I can’t excuse the podcast not planning for ad breaks. Without fail an ad will interrupt a heated conversation every episode. Please plan for ads.

Like all the new hosts
Still miss Eric. The show needs to be on top of hobbies category but that requires sacrifices like fixing audio blips, arresting James, having Jordan for the last time, and being more inclusive. Being the top podcast should mean being for everyone and maybe that means being less of yourself when one wants to say gay as a negative, might as well drop the n word as well and see how that goes. The lore is solid and the people are dope and with some more polish I hope this gets more mainstream outside of the games workshop communities and can bring even more people into this universe.

Quality podcast, spastic hosts, great times all around!
Started listening around September 2024, and am writing this review as I listen to episode 61. Loving the content so far and have, (Somehow, given Mark’s track record), been learning a lot about the 40k universe and am looking forward to getting into tabletop when I can afford it. Keep up the awesome work!

Great podcast; likable hosts and great explanations
Lorehammer is awesome! I have been trying to get into the universe more and their explanations are great. The hosts are funny and enjoyable. Can highly recommend.

Qaulity issues
You need an editor to clean up the sound make it less script read and more loose of a format

Great for 40K noobs
I love how the guys explain stuff. People liked to complain about them reading from wiki but that’s helpful. Even if they are referencing wiki or the codex it’s helpful for those of us who do commutes or don’t want to spend hours and hours reading or can’t afford to buy all the books. I definitely feel more well versed in the lore since listening to Lorehammer. 13 episodes in and can’t wait for more.

Showcase for a big issue in the 40k community
I wish I could enjoy this podcast, I really do. However I can’t get past the repeated and frequent homophobic and transphobic slurs. Inb4 “well get over it and stop listening”
That’s not the point. This attitude propagates a gross and negative community around what is supposed to be a hobby for everyone to enjoy.
All you need to do is look at their replies to comments or feedback sharing my sentiment and you’ll understand.

So bad
The entire show is read from wikipedia and poorly, readers stumbling and mispronouncing everyday words. The main host uses ‘gay’ pejoratively

Audio issues
I want to listen to this, I really do. And I’ve tried to. But the audio. You need to fix the audio.

Great Podcast
Got into warhammer through total war. Started listening to this podcast a week or two ago to learn about the 40k. Been great so far!
Dave (Zeek)
2.5 stars would definitely recommend JK love the podcast
Just wanted to say I love the content. I just got into Warhammer myself and this podcast has really helped with the lore side of the hobby. I have started from episode one and will be working my way up. Also fellow electrician here and listen for 10 plus hours a day!!!

Glad to see you guys are back and I love the content. However, your microphones are constantly cutting out.

Good times
Great Podcast, even when off topic at least it’s entertaining, as long as you don’t take yourself too serious you’ll love it, definitely want to see what the new episodes bring, this podcast really got me into 40k, before this I had only read the last chancers omnibus and space wolves omnibus, but now I’m going into the Horus heresy and beyond.
You're lord an savior Jesus
Let’s goooo
Erik will be missed a lot but love to see you guys back

I wanted to like this podcast…
I wanted to like this podcast, but there’s way too much use of lgbtq slurs, rants against women, and wokeness.
I overlooked it initially but it just became too much. Im older than mark and grew up when saying such things was common practice and it makes me cringe to listen to him.
You really don’t need to lean left to have a basic respect for women and minorities.
I cant in good conscience keep listening.

Great but racist
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)

Overview
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.

Great podcast!
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!

Tons of mistakes and misinformation
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.

Great information! Bad sound quality
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.

Love it
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.

Really great
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
Too much ableist, homophobic nonsense. Poorly researched and extremely slipshod. Occasionally amusing and insightful, not necessarily at the same time. Overall worth skipping.
saintnixon
Good lore, amateur production
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.

Misogynistic and homophobic
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.
Sloppybob987
Unorganized
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.

Four for the Lore, Plus One for the Crying SJWs and Libs.
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.

Living is overrated
When Canada sends their people, they don’t send their best
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.
Proud SJW
Odious
Was enjoying until the negative comments about women. Not the community for me, sadly.
loricaridae
Relatively informed on Warhammer, exceptionally ignorant to the world around them
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
