WARHAMMER 40K Lore: Armageddon EXPLAINED
from AJM Nerdcore · host AJM Nerdcore
In this video, I discuss the complete history of Armageddon in Warhammer 40K, from its origins as an Ork stronghold to becoming the Imperium’s unluckiest industrial hellscape. We’re talking daemon invasions, multiple WAAAGHs, legendary characters like Yarrick and Ghazghkull, and why this planet is now central to Warhammer 40K 11th Edition. I cover all three major wars, the War of the Beast, the Chaos invasion led by Angron, and how this setting has shaped Warhammer 40,000 from 2nd Edition all the way to what’s coming next. And yes… it somehow only gets worse for the planet as time goes on.
