    Episode 141 - Raven Guard pt 3 - Isstvan 5 and the legions rebirth.

    2026/06/01 | 1h 3 mins.
    On today’s cast we conclude our coverage of the Raven Guard. Opening up with the events of Isstvan 5 and the almost destruction of the Legion. From there we follow Corax as he goes back to terra to get the original gene seed of his legion (unknowingly brining a bunch of Alpha Legion along). And then the events over the course of the rest of the Horus Heresy. Next we talk about Corax in the warp and the nightmare he has turned into for the traitors. We then close out with the more recent Raven Guard lore of Shrike and Shaan.

    Episode 140 - The Raven Guard pt 2 - Corax remakes the Raven Guard in his own image

    2026/05/25 | 59 mins.
    On today’s cast we continue our coverage of the Raven Guard. With Corax arriving at his legion and having a solid WTF moment at how they behave. Then his fixing of the legion and their divorce from the Night Lords. From there we jump into their actions in the later part of the Great Crusade. And how those moments taught Corax a lot more about the galaxy and the imperium. We also jump into the special units and tech of the Raven Guard and how they use them to great success.

    Episode 139 - The Raven Guard pt 1 - Creation of the 19th and discovery of Corax

    2026/05/18 | 1h 3 mins.
    On today’s cast we open up our coverage of the Raven Guard. Opening with the formation of the 19th legion and their actions during the Unification Wars. We then focus a bit on how the emperor used them to handle enemies that were utilizing warp powers he did not want exposed to other legions. From there we jump over to their actions with the Luna Wolves during the early days of the Great Crusade. And then we get over to the story of Corax, his arrival on Lysithea, and how he liberated it. We close out with the meeting of Corax and the Emperor and his joining with his legion.

    Episode 138 - The Night Lords pt3 - Konrad seriously annoys the Lion, and eventually meets his doom

    2026/05/11 | 1h 13 mins.
    On Today’s cast we conclude our coverage of the night lords. We open with maybe the most consequential event of the entire Horus Heresy, Sotha. And then jump back to the adventures of Konrad as he plays hide and seek with the Lion, and then the Lion and Guilliman. Only to later both breakup the Triumvirate as well as save the imperium (by accident?). We then follow him to his final death (or was it really a suicide), and the subsequent breaking up of the legion.

    Episode 137 - The Night Lords pt2 - Konrad joins the Heresy and does both a good and terrible job at the same time

    2026/05/04 | 53 mins.
    On today’s cast we continue our coverage of the night lords with a focus on Konrad and the night lords through the end of the great crusade and into the start of the heresy. Where Konrad proves a complete inability to make friends with any of the other Primarchs, and then proceeds to make everything way worse. Followed by him deciding the only solution to him never fixing Nostramo is to remove it from existence, and of course their weird joining of the forces at Isstvan 5 (the part where the loyalists accepted there help, just why?).
