Episode 72 - Random Xenos of the Galaxy pt 1

On todays cast we begin our coverage of the random Xenos of the galaxy. Our focus is on some of the Xenos that have no codex. Thes are races that appear in stories, codexes, and some of GW’s side games. Many of these races have only a few (very well written) paragraphs on them in the lore, so it is more of a quick rundown on each of the races. On todays cast we cover: The Tepresi, Cythor Fiends, Caryatids, Rak’Gol, the Slaugth and more.PatreonMerchandiseDiscord Link:Our WebsiteRetro RecallOur Sponsors:* Check out BetterHelp: https://www.betterhelp.com* Check out Peace Corps: https://peacecorps.gov/serve* Check out Pebl: https://hipebl.ai* Check out Shopify: https://shopify.com/loreAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
