Probably should have posted this earlier but I'm on break for January. I'll be back in February with more videos!

This last year has been a wild ride and I'm so grateful for all of your support! As many of you know our house and studio flooded in October and we are still not yet back in our home. Been staying with family ever since. Having to navigate the nightmare that is American insurance, rebuild me and my wife's life, and keep the channel going full time over the last 3 months basically meant I ran myself ragged working 70 to 80 hours a week non-stop. Don't get me wrong I feel incredibly blessed to be in this position as being a YouTuber talking about Warhammer is a dream job I never thought possible, But a break was definitely needed lol. More so, we're in the final stretch of getting our house back so I want to take a few weeks to focus exclusively on that.

And don't worry, part two of the Lord of excess is definitely still happening I promise. I was going to make part two months ago but then the hurricanes hit and my whole life got flipped upside down so it got put on the back burner.

Hurricane Milton update. Hey guys, I'm alive and we're heading back to the house now. The bad news is our area received 18 inches of rain over the course of a few hours. From the pictures my buddy has sent me we had about 6-8 inches of water in the house and the studio which is a different building nearby. What that means is that the next week is gonna be a ton of work ripping out carpet and dry wall, treating for mold, and navigating the nightmare that is insurance. Unfortunately I can't really work on videos during this time so probably won't see another video from me for at least a week and a half...

I appreciate everyone who has reached out. Me the wife and our ferrets are all ok and this could have been a lot worse. It's certainly not great, but other people in the area are suffering far more than we are.

Another Warp Storm approaches... So as many of you know I live in the Tampa Bay area and hurricanes are nothing new. This one however is pretty scary not going to lie. I've got a bunch of cool spooky lore videos planned for this month including a grim dark story hour featuring some voiceovers from people you may know that is based on my favorite scary 40K story of all time! That being said... This storm is definitely going to cause a big delay. Don't worry I've got a safe place to go but we've had to spend every minute securing the house and the studio so we're gonna be riding it out in said safe location.

If you're on FL's West coast take this one seriously. Wherever it lands it's gonna do serious damage and bring deadly storm surge. Have a plan and take advantage of the next 24 hours. If you're called to evacuate, don't chance it!

Help support the channel by picking up this awesome Void Defender collab shirt I worked on with Into The Am by using this link intotheam.com/Weshammer-tee2 or use code: WESHAMMER at checkout. Either way, my viewer's get 10% off!

I love Into The A.M.'s shirts and was thrilled when they reached out about collabing together for one based on this channel. Their artists captured the spooky Grim dark vibes of the things we talk about here perfectly and the Vintage effect just gives it this whole extra layer of spooky Nostalgia that I'm a huge fan of. For every one of these shirts sold, Into The A.M. gives my channel a small commission. If you want to support me and my channel while also getting something cool in return then make sure to click on that link and pick up one of these shirts for yourself!

Are you new to Warhammer 40K? Did you see or experience something or someone in Space marine 2 that confused you? Let me know any and all questions you have about the game's lore here in the comments of this post. I am working on a Lore you need to know/ answering newcomer questions video for this game just like the one I did for Darktide awhile back and may just include your question in the video. No need to be shy, there's no such thing as a dumb question. Honestly I can not tell you happy happy I am seeing all these new people experience 40k for the first time. It gives me so many nostalgic flash backs to when I first got into this franchise when I was a kid. We all have to start our lore journey somewhere!

Apologies for the lack of new videos, This ultramarine deep dive ended up being a WAYYY bigger project than I had anticipated. Good news is it should be out soon! What other factions do you want me to give the deepdive treatment to?

I have received approximately 1 million requests to make a part 2 to my lord of excess video (LINK: https://youtu.be/OJpQl3qrPKI?si=Gk94I... ) where we cover the second half of the novel. I'm here to let you know that is definitely coming! I was not anticipating the video to do as well as it did and for so many people to want to know what happens next so I had a few other videos in the pipeworks I had to get through first. I've got one more big video (an ultramarines deep dive to coincide with the release of Space Marine 2) and then I'll get to work on it!



This one's going to take a little bit longer to get out as the first video only covered about 11 chapters whereas the second one will have to cover about 20. So you can roughly anticipate it going live sometime in the next 10 to 14 days. however if you don't want to wait that long you can pick up a copy for yourself! I highly recommend the audio version as the narration is fantastic.

if you haven't started reading the novels yet, I highly encourage you to do so they are great and you don't have to worry about picking the perfect starting point. just grab one based on a character or faction you enjoy and dive on in! Warhammer books are like comic books. you don't have to start with Batman number 1 to start reading Batman comics. it's the same with blood angels, eldar, or any other 40K faction.

New Faction Deep dive coming soon! Should be up in a few days. Which of the 6 major assassin temples is your favorite and why? I was always a Culexus man myself until we got more insight into the Venenum and Vanus temples and more and more I'm finding those 2 super intriguing.

What's your most unpopular 40K opinion? I'll go first. Ravenor is better than Esienhorn. Esienhorn has more stand out over the top moments, but Ravenor is a smaller more well structured story, it lets us dwell with the cast of characters longer and gives all of them time to really shine. It's a bummer because I have spoken to so many people who thought Dan Abnett's inquisitor series is only a trilogy. In reality it's 9 books long with the final one supposedly on the way. They all stopped after Esienhorn ends and miss out some of the best 40k writing of all time. Then when they do find out there's more there like " Oh the next series is just Esienhorn's apprentice? that sounds lame I'll pass". I will freely admit, I was one of those people, and it took me years to give Ravenor a chance. From Esienhorn, into Ravenor ( brief side trip with The Magos) and then into Bequin, its a series that just keeps getting better and better. If I'm being honest with you, I was and still am more excited for the 3rd Bequin book than I was for The End And The Death.

*Fixed the date* New Grimdark story hour dropping Tomorrow at 10:00 A.M. EST! Not only is this story super creepy and atmospheric, but its got one of the deepest lore pulls I have seen in a long time in 40K fiction! If you know what it is don't spoil it! Anyways, hope you all like it! These are easily my favorite type of video to make!
