We're back at the absolute last minute with this month's podcast! Steve escaped the consumptive grasp of the Plague Lord long enough to produce this episode in which we talk about how much we like the new inductii rules PDF, are generally excited to get our hands on some plastic Fellblades, and talk about the game Simon and Lars played with their Salamanders and Night Lords.

We're back, baby! After the greater Heresy community was driven mad in a frenzy of leaks, speculation, and Hot Takes, the third edition has landed, Lars and Simon have actually played a game of it, and we have lots to talk about! We're pretty stoked on the state of the game and get into what we liked about it and what we're excited to see coming down the pipe.

Finally, if you're in the US PNW come check out the upcoming mega-battle hosted by Simon, First Salvo, and help kick off a campaign!

Once more, we return at the absolute last moment to be able to call ourselves a monthly podcast! This month Lars, Simon, and Steve talk Adepticon, specifically, the crew's heir 0% prediction rate for Adepticon Heresy reveals and Simon's fantastic time playing in the narrative campaign game put on by the fine fellows of The Taking of Phyrix. Simon and Lars have also been playing a ton of Legions Imperialis as their two-player campaign careens towards its conclusion, and then we also talk about a bunch of other stuff like Age of Sigmar Spearhead and other games.

Join us for our new, third co-host, Lars White, stay for our 100% inaccurate Adepticon Heresy announcement predictions! Steve, Simon, and Lars talk a whole bunch about Legions Imperialis, campaign play, and the megabattle Heresy game that Lars & Simon played at their club in February. All speculation on possible Adepticon Heresy announcements was rendered null and void due to the complete lack of Adepticon announcements for the game, leaving us looking somewhat less foolish than we probably would have looked had their been one.

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!

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!

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!

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!

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!

Our August episode is here, in which Simon talks about the various games of Heresy he played, the new friends he made along the way (some of them being plague toads) as well as the simple campaign he took part in out of his favorite game shop, Terracrux in Tacoma, WA. We talked over the release of Legions Imperialis: The Devastation of Tallarn, and then got into the nitty gritty of assembling plastic Mechanicum. As usual, we close with listener Q&A concluding with an intimate consideration of the primarchs.
