Welcome to the first episode of The Lost and The Damned hosted by Uncle (he/him) and Faden Cross (they/them). Our first project for this podcast is to read through all of the Warhammer 40k books of the Horus Hearsay. The first one, Horus Rising sure is the first book in a long series of them. Join us for this undertaking as Faden learns way more about Warhammer than they ever thought they would.
