• A shallow look at the balance between shooting and melee in Horus Heresy
• I tell you what games I think you should look into for when there isn't time/space/or budget for full Heresy (hint, there's a giveaway involved)

Welcome to Episode 18! A few last, last, last minute unit ideas to add to your force, sombe Badab talk, and Erebus. I can get him to leave, but he keeps coming back. Can someone help me please?

• We refect on takes we'd like to change as we approach the second full year of 2.0
• I remind eveyrone who listens, once again, that I really like the Badab War
• If you're looking to add one more little thing to your Adepticon list, let me be your guide!

Welcome to Episode 9! It's the end of the Centurion series! (Ignoring the Estoterist – poor bastard)

Action packed at a fraction of the run time! I mostly put this together to get the word out about a little fundraiser, and to have a chuckle about the stress we felt trying to register for Adepticon. Big thanks to the Adepticon Heresy team for finding solutions within a day of the sign up shenanigans. Now buy a shirt, please!

• Jetbikes are always on my mind – and apparently it's the same for some of you!
• Adepticon registration survival story, and a chance to raise some money to support David Kohman's family.
• Spotlight on the Chaplain, maybe quite literally the best-boy centurion? Perhaps too early to call. . .

Is this thing still on? It is! Ineptus Astartes returns to talk about Centurions, clarify some points about recon marines, talk about the boogey-bots of 30k, and more! Featuring Doug from 2+Tough and probably a lot of background house pet noise.

• More thoughts on Pinning
• Discussion on Dreads and Fury of the Ancients
• Taking a look at our first Centurions – the Master of Signals, Vigilator, Moritat, and another one that's . . . well . . .
