A Horus Heresy podcast covering related games, hobby, and fiction.
This month Steve and Simon take a deep dive into the recently released supplement, The Battle for Beta Garmon. The discussion revolves around the supplement as a toolkit of ways to flesh out your armies in interesting ways, especially with the new rules for Blackshields and Shattered Legions. Naturally, there’s no avoiding some discussion about the […]
In part 1 of this series I discussed what goes into my gaming club’s annual “capsule” campaign; a set of loosely connected narrative games. This past December we gathered to play a few one-on-one games as well as a four player 2v2 Zone Mortalis game leading into a gigantic 8v8 mega-battle in March! This year’s […]
Our March episode is here at the last possible moment! We chat about Adepticon, upcoming and new releases, Mechanicum teasers, and at length about Simon’s club’s mega-battle earlier this month!

This month Steve and Simon explore scenic Beta-Garmon from 28mm and 8mm scales as both of the upcoming supplements for Horus Heresy and Legions Imperialis will focus on that theater of war. Steve asks the important question, “What’s up with Custodes?” and Simon says, “They’re bad (for the game).” We talk scalpers, limited edition woes, […]
I’ve been playing miniatures games since 1994 (oh my God) and I’ve played them in pretty much every mode imaginable but my favorite approach has always been a good campaign. I enjoy a one-off game as much as anyone but I get a little bored of games that exist in narrative voids so an ongoing […]
