Episode 64 - Explorator II - Imperial Fists with Chapter Master Valrak
Welcome back to Explorator!
In this new series, the AOTI40k team will be exploring aspects of the Warhammer 40k universe. The topic will be looked through the following three lenses; Lore, Modelling and Gaming.
In this episode, Dan is joined by the one and only Chapter Master Valrak! We chat all about the most yellow of all Space Marine Chapters - The Imperial Fists. Dan, naturally, swings the topic over to Black Templars a few times too for good measure. Naturally.
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. We're always keen to hear your feedback!
