The Age of Darkness Podcast | Horus Heresy Radio

Well this is it! We did it! This is our last Tales of Heresy episode about the main Black Library Horus Heresy series! Fifty-four books and at least 150 hours later, we've completed the project and it only took eight years! That's right in this episode we conclude our analysis of The Buried Dagger, but before that we conclude another series about the Imperialis Militia by finally seeing what our listeners have been up to! Never forget: Power armour is for posers!

How do you break an unbreakable wall? How do you defeat an enemy who has been expecting your plans for years? Well, let's see shall we! In this third episode of our Siege of Terra series, we analyze The First Wall by Gav Thorpe, and to do so we're delighted to welcome back a co-founder of this show, the venerable Mark!

In this episode we finally get to a subject that is so very dear to our hearts, the true backbone of the Great Crusade, the force without which neither side of the Interlegionary War could have prosecuted their campaigns, the poor god damned infantry, the Imperialis Militia. After that, we conclude our series on the magisterial novel Titandeath, and wind up with a crippling sense of indecision as we try to decide on working on Militia lists or Adeptus Titanicus. Oh and Epic just dropped.

In this episode of the show, we conclude our analysis of Wolfsbane by Guy Haley, and we'll finally see who's the top dog (er, wolf), Horus or Russ. But that's not all, because to milk this topic as much as possible in the Strategium we'll discuss the Exemplary Battle about the assault on the Vengeful Spirit at Trisolian. Wolf vs. Wolf, place your bets!
