The Lost and The Damned

This month we read the Space Wolves book Prospero Burns by Dan Abbnett. What does it mean when we cannot trust one man's memory? What makes a man a puppy boi? What the hell is going on logistically with Nikaea? We answer these questions and more.

This month we read our first Aaron Dembski-Bowden book with The First Heretic. Finally after over a year we got what both hosts would agree is a “real ass” book. It is so easy to love the Word Bearers.

We got another James Swallow book and unfortunately it wasn't very good. Its a good discussion even if we had to work to pull out anything we thought was interesting to talk about. At least we get some really funny scenes and one with the Emperor himself at his most Jesus coded.

Illness couldn’t stop us from finally talking about Graham McNeilll’s A Thousand Sons. What is the nature of magic and sorcery in the Imperium? How do the sons of the emperor react? Can a space marine and a remembrancer find love? Faden and Uncle answer all of these questions and more.

After a bit of a delay, Uncle and Faden Cross read the eleventh book of the Horus Heresy. We are back with our boys Zahariel and Nemiel as they navigate the start of the Horus Hersey. Loyalties are tested and honor is questioned as the Dark Angels make some choices.

Uncle and Faden Cross read the tenth book of the Horus Heresy. This is our first anthology collection and it is a wonderful time. Maybe all Warhammer books should be short stories. Who’s to say?

The Horus Heresy Book 9: Mechanicum

Uncle and Faden Cross read the ninth book of the Horus Heresy. We dive into the civil war amongst the Mechanicum. The Tech Priests turn on each other while our hero Dalia makes an Akashic Reader. Uncle and Faden dig deep to find any ledge to hold on to in this book.

Uncle and Faden Cross read the eighth book of the Horus Heresy. This is our first appearance of both Ultramarines and Space Wolves. The Word Bearers command the largest ship ever made. We get another good one that is full of dudes rocking.

Uncle and Faden Cross read the seventh book of the Horus Heresy. We are introduced to the secretive Alpha Legion. Perhaps one of the coolest Legions that we have encountered. Legion is a tale of lies, deceit and factional espionage. The most pathetic man we have read yet makes an appearance and we delight in him being really miserable.

Uncle and Faden Cross read the sixth book of the Horus Heresy. We discuss a book unlike the others in the Horus Heresy. This one is an origin story that focuses on a knighthood of young boys as their planet is colonized by the Imperium.
