Episode 134: A Very Late Adepticon Recap and Titandeath Part II

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!

In this episode, we begin a series on how the latest 30k game, Legions Imperialis, works! Afterwards, having finally completed our analysis of the Black Library Horus Heresy series, we use a super scientific methodology to rank all the books, starting from the bottom! Which is the lowest ranked book? Will it be a surprise? Tune in to find out!

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. Age of Darkness Episode 140Closing song is "Reap What You've Sown (Devourer)" by Warpstormer (https://warpstormer.bandcamp.com)The Age of Darkness Podcast can be contacted at [email protected] Lil' Legends Painting Studio: www.lillegendstudio.com Get merch here: https://ageofdarkness.bigcartel.com/ iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-age-of-darkness-podcast /id985682558 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theageofdarknesspodcast Soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/ageofdarknesspodcast Stitcher: http://www.stitcher.com/podcast/the-age-of-darkness-podcast Google Play Music: https://goo.gl/app/playmusic?ibi=com.google.PlayMusic&isi=691797987&ius=googleplaymusic&link=https://play.google.com/music/m/Iq7ledxmo7uhxytxo2kmmev3nia?t%3DThe_Age_of_Darkness_Podcast

Not all heroes are Primarchs or First Captains - the First Interlegionnary War contained innumerable tales of ordinary Astartes performing extraordinary deeds. But few tales were as glorious as the odyssey of the warship Sisypheum. In this episode of our Siege of Terra series, we discuss the last ride of the crew of the Sisypheum as they deal with some crazy Moon shit as the Solar System burns around them. We are also delighted to welcome Mark back to the show to chat about Graham McNeill's wonderful sendoff for some of our favourite characters. I expect Sharrowkynn to do something cool. Siege of Terra Special 4The Age of Darkness Podcast can be contacted at [email protected] Lil' Legends Painting Studio: www.lillegendstudio.com Get merch here: https://ageofdarkness.bigcartel.com/ iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-age-of-darkness-podcast /id985682558 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theageofdarknesspodcast Soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/ageofdarknesspodcast Stitcher: http://www.stitcher.com/podcast/the-age-of-darkness-podcast Google Play Music: https://goo.gl/app/playmusic?ibi=com.google.PlayMusic&isi=691797987&ius=googleplaymusic&link=https://play.google.com/music/m/Iq7ledxmo7uhxytxo2kmmev3nia?t%3DThe_Age_of_Darkness_Podcast

Well this is it! We did it! This is our last Tales of Heresy episode about the main Black Library Horus Heresy series! Fifty-four books and at least 150 hours later, we've completed the project and it only took eight years! That's right in this episode we conclude our analysis of The Buried Dagger, but before that we conclude another series about the Imperialis Militia by finally seeing what our listeners have been up to!

In this episode, we finally conclude our lengthy series about the new Imperialis Militia list that we started in the summer - shout-out to our listeners that laughed at us when we said we'd get it done in an episode or two max, they know us better than we know ourselves! After that, we have arrived at the penultimate episode of our discussion of the Black Library main series, with the second of our three part analysis of Buried Dagger by James Swallow!

How do you break an unbreakable wall? How do you defeat an enemy who has been expecting your plans for years? Well, let's see shall we! In this third episode of our Siege of Terra series, we analyze The First Wall by Gav Thorpe, and to do so we're delighted to welcome back a co-founder of this show, the venerable Mark!

In this episode we continue our analysis of the latest militia list, concentrating on the single biggest improvement, the troops section! After that, we take a quick palate cleanser before starting our discussion of the last book of the main series by delving into another of the Primarchs series, this time talking about Rogal Dorn: The Emperor's Crusader by Gav Thorpe! Age of Darkness Episode 1360.00  Intro 6.08  The Stratagium: Imperialis Militia Part II1.10.18 Tales of Heresy: Rogal Dorn: The Emperor's Crusader by Gav Thorpe2.28.11  Two-Week Hobby ChallengeClosing song is "Titan Warlord" by Tomb Stalker (https://tombstalker.bandcamp.com)The Age of Darkness Podcast can be contacted at [email protected] Lil' Legends Painting Studio: www.lillegendstudio.com Get merch here: https://ageofdarkness.bigcartel.com/ iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-age-of-darkness-podcast /id985682558 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theageofdarknesspodcast Soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/ageofdarknesspodcast Stitcher: http://www.stitcher.com/podcast/the-age-of-darkness-podcast Google Play Music: https://goo.gl/app/playmusic?ibi=com.google.PlayMusic&isi=691797987&ius=googleplaymusic&link=https://play.google.com/music/m/Iq7ledxmo7uhxytxo2kmmev3nia?t%3DThe_Age_of_Darkness_Podcast

In this episode we finally get to a subject that is so very dear to our hearts, the true backbone of the Great Crusade, the force without which neither side of the Interlegionary War could have prosecuted their campaigns, the poor god damned infantry, the Imperialis Militia. After that, we conclude our series on the magisterial novel Titandeath, and wind up with a crippling sense of indecision as we try to decide on working on Militia lists or Adeptus Titanicus. Oh and Epic just dropped.
