So we're officially down to only two hoodies, both ###L (for maximum heresy). These are super comfortable ring-spun cotton, made in Canada, and printed by a small business in Montréal. $50 USD plus shipping. If you're interested email me at [email protected]!

In this episode, we continue our broad analysis of the main Black Library Horus Heresy series. Using our super objective and scientific system, we go through the books that fell roughly in the middle, from ranks 29 to 20. But before that, we continue our other series, where Mark explains to JP how to play Epic like he's five. Will he remember the rules? Anything's possible!

Sanguinary Guard swoop into the fray with the return of the Exemplary Battles to help push sales of the upcoming command squad set.

The bodyguards of Sanguinius clash with the Night Lords.

Lots of juicy pre-orders coming up next week for both 30k and Legions. Would be nice if the melee weapons were amongst those though.

What’s coming up next week?

Hobby challenge 13th - 25th May.

Can’t believe another two weeks have flown by. Hopefully people have seen our post about the Heresy series review; if you haven’t done so please jumpy on board. Otherwise, please let us know what hobby you have been working on recently. What scale? Has out starter on LI inspired you?

After 9 years and 140 episodes the Age of Darkness has reviewed the whole main series of the Black Library Horus Heresy series! Now it's to decide which were the best and which were the worst! In our next episode we'll start our global review, and WE NEED YOUR HELP! Please click on the link below and rank the novels on a scale of 10 (exceptional) to 1 (execrable)! Along with the hosts' scores, this will allow us to create an absolutely scientific and definitive ranking of the series (well not really but it'll be fun)

Please give every book a 1 to 10 rating, 10 being the best and 1 being the worst. You can give multiple 10s and 1s, but try to keep those for exceptionally good or execrable books. This list doesn't include most anthologies, although those that are a coherent theme are included (e. g. Mark of Calth)...

We can’t explain how hyped JP is for this.

The boys from Mars are on their way. Need more tentacles for the True Devout followers.

Reports of our deaths have been somewhat exaggerated! We are back! In this short episode, to get back into the swing of things, we discuss why you (yes YOU) should get into Legions Imperialis. This will serve to set up our upcoming series about how to play this epic new game. Afterwards, in Tales of Heresy, we announce how we'll be handling our recap/review of the entire Black Library Horus Heresy series - and how you (yes, again, YOU) can get involved. It's good to be back.

Lovely little package from including an amazing ships captain brought back from Adepticon courtesy of the crew. My son was particularly pleased with the stickers.

Hobby challenge 22nd April - 12th May.

What have people been up to? We’ve seen some exciting new Solar Aux. releases and some of the kit bashes have been amazing. What about L.I.? How are people getting on with their demi-companies or sub-cohorts? C’mon everyone, let’s see your projects.

21/04/2024

Hobby challenge 7th - 21st April

We’re back again. With the new Solar Aux in people’s hands, have any of you started working on any? Are people expanding their LI forces, c’mon: share everything with us.

Hobby challenge 6th April

We’re back!

As per our last post, we’ve been away for a while but we’re getting ready to record again soon. In the meantime, in our absence I’m sure that everyone has been working on multiple projects.

Share it all with us everyone. Let’s see what you have!

Hello everyone,
Firstly, apologies for it being so quiet around here since the drop of the last Siege of Terra special.

We just want to confirm that we have not stopped the podcast and fully intend to record more episodes very soon as well as returning to the usual hobby challenge.

In real- life, both JP and myself have been dealing with wider challenges. JP is in the final stages of wrestling with his Ph.D and is preparing for submission which I’m sure you’ll all understand takes a considerable time.

As for myself, I have been dealing with personal health issues which have taken up a lot of energy and head-space.

However, for both of us, we are either at the end that path or close to finishing that journey so we will be returning to our usual service very soon. We have lots planned with multiple systems to discuss and our usual novel deep-dives. Who knows, we may even feedback on some games!

Regards,
JP and Darren
