Description

In this our fifth Vampire Counts episode we examine the aftermath of the First Vampire War and the death of Vlad von Carstein. We follow the machinations of his five surviving sons and the fratricide that ensues resulting in Konrad von Carstein, an irredeemable psychopath, taking the throne of Sylvania and the start of the Second Vampire War. We look at this bloody crusade of violence as it faces off against both Dwarf and Human armies. The alliance of the elector Counts of the Empire, their treachery and the very brief reign of a zombie emperor. We end with the battle of Grim Moor and the fall of Konrad under a Runefang wielded by a vengeful son.

A monthly podcast focussing on the lore of the sprawling Warhammer Fantasy universe. With tongues firmly in cheeks we will help you to separate ghouls from goblins, snotlings from skaven stormfiends, and bonesplitters from beastclaw raiders ... this last pair was a test, they’re from Age of Sigmar and not Warhammer. See? Laying Down The Lore is the podcast you didn’t even know you needed! Join Ben and Cral, a couple of self-confessed Warhammer noobs, as they journey into a fantasy institution guided by ageing fanboy Darren as he attempts to distil and summarise 30 years worth of Warhammer knowledge into bite-sized chunks. Informative, irreverent, and largely irrelevant, Laying Down The Lore will come to be your indispensable guide to the world of Warhammer.
