It's the start of the year but the end of the month and we're here to kick off the New Year at the very last possible moment! Steve and Simon discuss what they've been up to (Simon painted a whole Legions Imperialis Dark Mechanicum army and some other stuff) and what they're hoping to see from the Heresy in the new year. We also chat a bit about recent releases and Simon's upcoming 20,000 point per side megabattle but our biggest topic is the new Kickstarter from Dave Taylor, 28 Collected!Logo Design by Nikol KingIntro and Outro Music by Skull CultistBackground music by Orthokeras with vox from Alia Synesthesia and Nicole TurnerAudio Production designed on the Forge world of the Vorpal Goat.

Home for the Heresy
It's about to be 2025 for Steve and Simon but Heresy is eternal. We take a look a back at the Heresy in 2024, considering the end of the 64(!) book series, campaign and model releases for both Horus Heresy: Age of Darkness and Legions Imperialis and then turn a weather eye towards what the future might hold for the greatest galactic civil war ever prosecuted!Logo Design by Nikol KingIntro and Outro Music by Skull CultistBackground music by Orthokeras with vox from Alia Synesthesia and Nicole TurnerAudio Production designed on the Forge world of the Vorpal Goat.

If the president can pardon a turkey, could the Emperor have pardoned Horus?
We're back and right under the wire for our Turkey Day episode which begins with Steve and Simon bickering about their respective nations Thanksgivings. We talk about recent reveals like the Malcador variants, Arvus Lighter, and the alternate Deredeo loadout. Simon played a bunch of games this month including playtesting his Heresy skirmish rules set for an upcoming club event and shares his thoughts on having played a full game with his Mechanicum. No Q&A this month but we do ramble at length, off topic, about Trench Crusade!

Haunted Halloween Plague Episode with Special Guest, Dr. Eric Lofgren!
On this month's episode we are joined by special guest host, epidemiologist and wargamer, Dr. Eric Lofgren! Eric was a presenter at the first ever Warhammer academic conference and he was kind enough to share his time with us discussing his presentation and talking about what that experience was like. His presentations were focused on Horus Heresy specific events and was a fascinating guest. You also get to hear three grown men excitedly discuss their favorite diseases. Somehow, we went an entire episode with a real life plague doctor and didn't make a single Nurgle reference! Eric stayed with us to discuss the upcoming Dark Mechanicum releases, shared some pro-tips on playing Imperial Fists as a Heresy army, and took part in our closing listener Q&A.Check out Eric's blog at Variance Hammer and follow him on Bluesky.Happy Halloween, don't die of plague!Logo Design by Nikol KingIntro and Outro Music by Skull CultistBackground music by Orthokeras with vox from Alia Synesthesia and Nicole TurnerAudio Production designed on the Forge world of the Vorpal Goat.

Mechanicumania with Bonus Cat Fight Content
Our September podcast arrives just under the wire! Heresy news is ramping up so we had lots to talk about starting with the return of Heresy Thursdays to Warhammer Community's site, the announcement of Mechanicum for Legions Imperialis, the teased Siege of Terra animation coming to Warhammer+, Space Marine 2, an academic conference on Warhammer, and finally the Nova Open Heresy "roadmap", such as it was. Simon talks Mechanicum hobbying, and then dives into the recently released supplement, The Martian Civil War but is interrupted by the least sexy cat fight imaginable. We conclude with our usual listener Q&A!Logo Design by Nikol KingIntro and Outro Music by Skull CultistBackground music by Orthokeras with vox from Alia Synesthesia and Nicole TurnerAudio Production designed on the Forge world of the Vorpal Goat.
