224 - Astartes Armoury: Melee Weapons

*Ad Free Version available on Lorehammer Patreon, link below.*In this episode, we crack open the Astartes armoury and get our hands bloody, diving deep into the melee weapons that define how Space Marines wage war up close. From the screaming brutality of chainswords and chainaxes to the cold, crackling lethality of power weapons and lightning claws, we break down not just what these tools do, but what they mean in the myth and doctrine of the Adeptus Astartes. These are not sidearms or backups—they are relics of belief, forged for wars where distance collapses and only dominance remains. Whether it’s a Primarch’s favored blade, a Chapter’s sacred pattern, or a claw built to tear tanks and titans alike, this episode explores why, in a galaxy of guns, the Emperor’s Angels still trust in the edge.Lorehammer Patreonhttps://www.patreon.com/c/lorehammer/membershipOne Time Donationshttps://paypal.me/lorehammerpodcastLink to all Linkshttps://linktr.ee/Lorehammer40k
