Galaxy in Flames: A Horus Heresy Fan Podcast

We're back at the absolute last minute with this month's podcast! Steve escaped the consumptive grasp of the Plague Lord long enough to produce this episode in which we talk about how much we like the new inductii rules PDF, are generally excited to get our hands on some plastic Fellblades, and talk about the game Simon and Lars played with their Salamanders and Night Lords.

We're back, baby! After the greater Heresy community was driven mad in a frenzy of leaks, speculation, and Hot Takes, the third edition has landed, Lars and Simon have actually played a game of it, and we have lots to talk about! We're pretty stoked on the state of the game and get into what we liked about it and what we're excited to see coming down the pipe. Finally, if you're in the US PNW come...

Once more, we return at the absolute last moment to be able to call ourselves a monthly podcast! This month Lars, Simon, and Steve talk Adepticon , specifically, the crew's heir 0% prediction rate for Adepticon Heresy reveals and Simon's fantastic time playing in the narrative campaign game put on by the fine fellows of The Taking of Phyrix . Simon and Lars have also been playing a ton of Legions...

Join us for our new, third co-host, Lars White, stay for our 100% inaccurate Adepticon Heresy announcement predictions! Steve, Simon, and Lars talk a whole bunch about Legions Imperialis, campaign play, and the megabattle Heresy game that Lars & Simon played at their club in February. All speculation on possible Adepticon Heresy announcements was rendered null and void due to the complete lack...

It's the start of the year but the end of the month and we're here to kick off the New Year at the very last possible moment! Steve and Simon discuss what they've been up to (Simon painted a whole Legions Imperialis Dark Mechanicum army and some other stuff) and what they're hoping to see from the Heresy in the new year. We also chat a bit about recent releases and Simon's upcoming 20,000 point pe...

It's about to be 2025 for Steve and Simon but Heresy is eternal. We take a look a back at the Heresy in 2024, considering the end of the 64(!) book series, campaign and model releases for both Horus Heresy: Age of Darkness and Legions Imperialis and then turn a weather eye towards what the future might hold for the greatest galactic civil war ever prosecuted!

We're back and right under the wire for our Turkey Day episode which begins with Steve and Simon bickering about their respective nations Thanksgivings. We talk about recent reveals like the Malcador variants, Arvus Lighter, and the alternate Deredeo loadout. Simon played a bunch of games this month including playtesting his Heresy skirmish rules set for an upcoming club event and shares his thoug...

On this month's episode we are joined by special guest host, epidemiologist and wargamer, Dr. Eric Lofgren! Eric was a presenter at the first ever Warhammer academic conference and he was kind enough to share his time with us discussing his presentation and talking about what that experience was like. His presentations were focused on Horus Heresy specific events and was a fascinating guest. You a...

Our September podcast arrives just under the wire! Heresy news is ramping up so we had lots to talk about starting with the return of Heresy Thursdays to Warhammer Community's site, the announcement of Mechanicum for Legions Imperialis, the teased Siege of Terra animation coming to Warhammer+, Space Marine 2, an academic conference on Warhammer, and finally the Nova Open Heresy "roadmap", such as...

Our August episode is here, in which Simon talks about the various games of Heresy he played, the new friends he made along the way (some of them being plague toads) as well as the simple campaign he took part in out of his favorite game shop, Terracrux in Tacoma, WA. We talked over the release of Legions Imperialis: The Devastation of Tallarn, and then got into the nitty gritty of assembling plas...

It's a slow month for Heresy news but between Steve's opinions on politics, volcano discussion, and Simon getting dwarf pilled for the Old World, we did manage to discuss Heresy campaign gaming, the upcoming Mechanicum releases, and the Warhammer Tacoma Open before closing up with listener questions! Logo Design by Nikol King Intro and Outro Music by Skull Cultist Background music by Orthokeras wi...

Somehow, we've been doing this for a full year and you people are still listening, for some reason! We've taken your feedback into account and Steve has produced and mixed us a whole new, quieter, less intrusive background track! We talk upcoming pre-releases, the improved availability of Legions Imperialis kits, the problems with other products availability, Cormac McCarthy, Simon's Zone Mortalis...

We talk about what goes into this immersive and engaging Horus Her...

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 the controversial reference to LADY CUSTODES befo...

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! We close out with our usual Q&A and even tease our planned guests for April. Listen now to this not at all rushed episode at the end of the month! Logo Design by  Nikol King Intro and Outro Music by  Sk...

A Very Special Leap Year episode. What's special about it? Well, we recorded late in the month so this episode is coming out at the very last possible moment on leap day. That's pretty special, we guess. Simon played Legions Imperialis and shares his first impressions and Steve has thoughts about the newly unveiled line of Heresy action figures from Joy Toy. Simon's finally finished the main 54 no...

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, and then ramble about related topics before diving more fully...

A Very Special Holiday episode! Simon and Steve kick things off by talking about what they got for Christmas and then segue into discussion of the long awaited return of epic.in Legions Imperialis.

Simon's playing Emperor's Children and Cthonian Headhuners, and Steve will be...

Our November episode is here and starts with a celebration of the imminent release of Legions Imperialis. If by "celebration" we mean "Simon complains about the new GW webstore" but after a few minutes of that we do talk rather excitedly about the finally imminent release of this highly anticipated game! We move on to discussion of the upcoming plastic MkVI Assault Marines before taking a look at...

Our October episode is here and is haunted by our first ever guest-host, Dave Taylor!

Dave's been a serious Horus Heresy enthusiast for years...

This time hosts Steve and Simon are here to talk Heresy novels ( The Outcast Dead ? Underrated says Simon). Controversially, both Steve and Simon are thrilled that Legions Imperialis is delayed and discuss the community reaction to scale changes, rules, the madness of rewriting games that have not yet been released, and the (probable) realities of publishing and production delays. Next up, we talk...

Our second episode is here! This month Steve and Simon explore the question, “Is Horus Heresy dead?” The answer is “lol no,” but they have more to say than that. They also talk about Simon’s last game of ‘Heresy, using some of the Siege of Cthonia material for his Sons of Horus, speculated a whole lot on the upcoming launch of Legions Imperialis. Next, Galaxy in Flames is proud to announce the lau...

Join hosts Simon Berman and Steve Saunders as they talk all things 30k including the Horus Heresy miniatures wargame, Heresy novels, and even Adeptus Titanicus.
