Heresy 2.0 has finally arrived!!
Listen to grown(ish) men talk with unbridled joy as Henry gives us a man on the ground report of the Horus Heresy Open day event. 
We babble about our thoughts on all the new releases, all the new rules that have been teased and how GW clearly lifted one of our clearly unique ideas!!!

Episode 104 - HERESY 2.0 Open day

In this episode the boys theorize about what 'new' legion they would dive into if the new starter box magically dropped on their doorstep. 
We also compare militia to cocaine, Freddy forgets to talk into his microphone choosing a tin can instead whilst Kris discovers he has daddy issues (choses legions who don't have a close relationship with the emperor)

Don't forget you can listen to our previous episodes on Spotify!

In todays episode Henry takes the wheel and asks the brain-trust (Freddy, Pelle and Erik) for ideas for his new army. Fun fact:  All the lists have one thing in common. 

The boys talk new stuff, looks to give you ideas for your 2.0 list, and also learn how to be kryptonite to Eriks list for Scandus.

AAAAND WE ARE BACK! 

In this very special episode we cover the different time periods of the heresy, and how to draw inspiration from therein. This is a subject dear to our hearts, but we would not have come to make a separate episode 'lest one of our listeners asked us to make it. So we are incredibly gratefull. 

We discuss, in depth, how to use the Flames of war method of Early-Mid-Late war modell for events and army composition. How it enables you to draw a narrative visually, as well as how to use that in events, and to structure our battles place in the larger heresy. We go on to discuss on how let's you bring in certain units, leaders and upgrades. And when to cut back on their usage. 

NOTE: the sounds is unusually haunted by djinn-skeins, resulting in certain Echoes, and reverberating in  sound channels. we apologize in advance.
