Welcome to the TTP Field Manual’s End-of-Year Special!

In these FINAL DAYS, join Joshy and Jonny as they delve into the characters of Warhammer 40,000, exploring their stories, motivations, and roles in the grim darkness of the far future. Each episode in this series unpacks the "who, what, where, why, and how" of iconic figures, making it the perfect introduction—or reintroduction—for fans old and new.

For Episode #6, we spotlight Ephrael Stern, the Daemonifuge, one of the more controversial and powerful figures in Warhammer 40,000 lore. Dive into her gripping storyline as we uncover her complex origins shaped by heroic deeds and the ever-present influence of the warp. Feared for her immense power, Ephrael battles death, resurrection, and countless trials in a galaxy that distrusts her existence. A unique blend of Adepta Sororitas, Harlequin, and something far greater, she is torn between her sacred duty and the chaos that seeks to consume her. Join us as we unravel the mysteries of Ephrael Stern and her place in the grimdark universe of Warhammer 40,000.
