Ashes Of The Imperium | A New 40k Podcast

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.

Steve is given free reign to extol the virtues of Narrative Play and how the latest edition of Chapter Approved can be used to forge some epic narratives in the 41st Millennium.
