    And we're finally here, the final 5 ranks of our extremely scientific and absolutely definitive ranking of the main Black Library Horus Heresy series! But before disclosing what books came out on top, we go back to one of main loves and analyze the 3rd edition updates for the true backbone of the armies of the Great Crusade and Age of Darkness, the glorious Imperialis Militia!

    Episode 144: First Impressions of 3rd ed., Painting the Black Sands, and BL Series Rankings 10 to 6

    The 3rd edition excitement continues to flow through our veins as we got the whole team back to talk about our first impression of the new ruleset! After that, in Painting Black ... and Other Colours, Myles takes us through weathering the black sands of Istvaan V, without black! And finally, in Tales of Heresy, we draw closer to the conclusion to our rankings of the main Black Library series with positions 10 to 6. Programming note: for the first half of the show we were sure we were going to finish all final 10 books, but in the most Age of Darkness way possible we meandered so much on the first half that we ran out of time! So we're milking this nonsense for another episode. Don't say you weren't warned!  Age of Darkness Episode 144 0.00  Intro 8.10  Strategium: 3rd ed.

    Episode 140: Why You Should Play Legions Imperialis

    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 140 Closing song is "Reap What You've Sown (Devourer)" by Warpstormer (https://warpstormer.bandcamp.com) The Age of Darkness Podcast can be contacted at ageofdarknesspodcast@gmail.com 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

    Siege of Terra Special 4: Sons of the Selanar

    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 4 The Age of Darkness Podcast can be contacted at ageofdarknesspodcast@gmail.com 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
