It's time for the second of the NEW Patreon perk - giveaways and this month SHAME is the appropriate word! My loft is heaving with kits and products that I'll never realistically get around to using, so every month I'm going to run a giveaway to thin the Pile of Shame. It could be rulebooks, it could be models, it could be pa...

It's the 23rd of the month and I've closed the competition and generated the winner. From 88 entries, google selected comment 47, which was DAVID CLEGG!
I'll get the hefty tome in the post asap, and I'll dive back into the Pile of Shame on Jun 1st. This time it's gonna be a whole COMBAT PATROL full of righteous fury!<...
The nine Traitor Legions who sided with Horus in the Heresy are abroad! If you're looking to serve the Dark Gods, I take a look at each legion in turn, and see what they're up to in the 40k galaxy!

THERE ARE NO GODS IN WARHAMMER! Well, not really anyway. Despite what the inhabitants of the universe believe, almost everything given that name in Warhammer 40k actually turns out to be something else, influenced by generations of sci-fi tropes and real-world pseudoscience. So let's go through them and decide what is what. 2024-05-17 17:09:40 +0000 UTC View Post
Some photos from our little discord event yesterday at Bad Moon Cafe in London. Eight of us made it to learn/play Imperialis with our new forces. Turns out it's really fun!
We got two games in and, without QUITE enough time left for a third, we played a Titan Joust, which tbh was quite a good way to learn the actual ru...
Long ago, in the mists of the 80s, the Ultra-Marine chapter had a half-eldar, half-human, half-astropath, half-bureaucrat Chief Librarian - Illiyan Nastase. And after 33 years away, he's BACK!

Ready your cyber-limbs and stock up on nutrient paste, because Mars is going to WAR! Join us as we walk our spindly cybernetic feet through Mechanicum by Graham McNeill!

So, it's time for a NEW Patreon perk - giveaways! My loft is heaving with kits and products that I'll never realistically get around to using, so every month I'm going to run a giveaway to thin the Pile of Shame. It could be rulebooks, it could be models, it could be paints and accessories! Together we shall thin the piles!
Let's make Heresy INTERESTING. Wanna run an army of dumb clones? Space pirates with useless pistols? Astartes with stolen Xenos weapons blowing themselves up? Well then the Blackshields army list is perfect!

The Warp! The Immaterium! The Othersea! The Soup of Souls! The Realm of Chaos! The Skein! Beyond the Veil! The Pink Pazonga! The Swirly Death! The warp has many names, most of them completely real, but how does it ACTUALLY work? What do we really know about the depths of the Ocean of Brainjuice?
2024-04-29 17:28:15 +0000 UTC View PostHi everyone! To celebrate ACTUALLY building some Legions Imperialis armies, we're having a little get-together and gaming day so we can actually learn how to play. I've booked some tables at Bad Moon Cafe in London on May 11th.
I opened this to higher-tier Patrons on the Discord the other week, but we still have a cou...
We've set ourselves a deadlines and for once, all of us have been working on the same game system! In three weeks we'll be descending once again on the Quadrania System to play our first games of Legiones Imperialis, so let's see how we're all getting on!

Are your games of Horus Heresy just NOT COMPLICATED ENOUGH? Want to build an army to completely erode any goodwill your opponent ever had towards you while spending ages re-checking rules combinations? Well, looks like the Shattered Legions are the army for you!
2024-04-12 18:04:08 +0000 UTC View PostIt's time for our first Patreon-only episode! Before we progress through the heresy series to Mechanicum, we wanted to read this short story. The Kaban Project, originally featured in Collected Visions in 2007, is a prequel to Mechanicum, featuring many of the same characters, and that sets up the situtaion on Mars.
So...
Well, it's time. Let's get to PEAK HERETIC. Let's talk about the life and times of the worst person in Warhammer 40k, the Dark Apostle of Chaos himself, Erebus!

Deep in the ammonia jungles of Beta-Anphelion IV, some BUGS are getting ready to eat the latest batch of Imperial interlopers. Want Jurassic Park, but 40k-style? Well, let's look at Forge World's Imperial Armour Volume 4: The Anphelion Project

We're out of sequence, but who cares when the book is this good? Valdor: Birth of the Imperium gives us a look into the end of the Unification Wars, and asks the big questions about exactly how much free will anyone in the Imperium of Warhammer 40k really has...

Are you ready for the widely-renowned BEST BOOK of the Horus Heresy? Well, Mira certainly is, so let's grit our teeth, turn the next page, and discuss if Battle for the Abyss is really as dodgy as people say!

The Imperium is made up of thousands of different departments, organisations and military forces, all trying to cling on to their own supreme authority. So, is anyone REALLY in charge? Who has authority? Let's see if we can find out.
2024-03-12 15:17:00 +0000 UTC View PostHi everyone! After a bit of a hiatus, we'll be doing the book club episodes for both these books at the end of the week. As usual, if you have any questions, thoughts and observations about either book, let us know and we'll get them answered on-air!
(And let us know which book the question is for!)
We're back with the March update, and you've all built more stuff than we did!

The Necrons are major players in the evolving galaxy of Warhammer 40k - but they started out very differently, released as a curio, and they went through multiple BIG lore and design changes before they became the grumpy old robots we know today.

The Old World is out, and we all dig in with a trip to the Old World Open Day at Warhammer World, and some progress on our Old World and Legions Imperialis armies, as well as all your Community Updates!
