A Book Club/Review of the Horus Heresy Series from the Garagehammer crew.
Hey Everyone! Greg and I have made this announcement a few times but it seems one more time might be necessary. So please listen up as the show is moving.
So here we are with the final three stories from Tales of Heresy! Today we cover “Call of the Lion,” “The Last Church,” and “After Desh’ea.” We are still having a great tome with these stories, and we hope you are too. Sorry about the sound quality for Greg. I cleaned it up as best...
Transmission 10.01 – Tales of Heresy Part Two So in part two we cover the third and fourth stories in “Tales of Heresy.” First up, Scions of the Storm by Anthony Reynolds. We cover an interesting story and David gets to understand how the Word Bearers operated after being told to quicken their pace. Second,...
We’re baaaaaack! That’s right folks! Here we are and we are covering the tenth book in the Horus Heresy series, Tales of Heresy. This is a compilation of 7 short stories, and tonight we cover the first two with you. First, BLOOD GAMES by Dan Abnett. It’s Dan Abnett so you know it’s good....
Transmission 0902 – Mechanicum Part Two Already? YES! The second half of Mechanicum! Greg and David finish up the book with some fun discussions. Let’s have your feedback on the forums for the follow-up episode before we get to “Tales of Heresy” Enjoy! If you liked the show, please help by leaving a positive review...
Transmission 0901 – Mechanicum Part One So we’re back! I think you’ll have fun with this episode! We kinda cover the first half of Mechanicum, but we take a bunch of little side tracks. I think that’s kinda awesome though. We get into some really good conversations about character motivations and stuff. You’re going to...
Transmission A2 – Dan Abnett Interview Another show in a month? NO WAY! The best part? Holy crap we got DAN ABNETT, author of comics, screenplays, dozens of books and five (so far) of the Horus Heresy novels! That’s right, the Dan Abnett is sitting down to talk with us! Seriously, this is (in my...
Transmission 0802 – Staring Into The Abyss So here we are after way too long. This isn’t a long episode but we DO announce the Space Hulk contest winner. We visit the Abyss one last time. In a few weeks (gotta wait until I’m back from GenCon!) we will be posting an author interview. David...
Transmission 08.1 – Battle for the Abyss Part Two So here is part two of Book 8 of The Horus Heresy, Battle for the Abyss, by Ben Counter. We cover chapters 12-21 and a bit quicker than we did the first 11. We have some fun with it and we hope you have fun...
Transmission 08 – Battle for the Abyss So here is the long awaited coverage of Book 8 of The Horus Heresy, Battle for the Abyss, by Ben Coulter. It’s not exactly our favorite, but there’s a lot there that we had to discuss. So we got to chapter eleven! We will be back in...
Transmission 07.2 – Lingering on Legion So here is the feedback episode for Legion. We know…it’s been a while and this isn’t even a book. Cheer up, pumpkin, Battle for the Abyss is on its way! In the meantime, please join us for some Legion discussion and our new HUGE FRIGGIN’ CONTEST ANNOUNCEMENT! Enjoy!...
Transmission 07.1 – Legion Part Two What can I say but welcome to part two of Legion by Dan Abnett. We pick up right where we left off and finish up book one (which is the first 3/4 of the book) and then roll through the exciting conclusion in book 2. It’s odd...
Transmission 07 – Legion Part One We are back and bring you the first part of Legion by Dan Abnett. Actually it’s not all of Part One. That’s 75% of the book. In this episode we bring you the first 10 chapters, which is about 1/2 the book. As you will see, we try to...
Transmission A-1: Garro Audio – James Swallow Interview So here is the follow up to the Garro Audio episode. Greg interviews James Swallow. It’s kinda awesome to have him on the show so we hope you enjoy! If you liked the show, please help by leaving a positive review on iTunes. If you’d...
Transmission A: Garro Audio Dramas So here are all four Garro Audio Dramas brought to you guys by popular demand. We didn’t call this one 7 because this isn’t book 7 in the series. This is a side topic basically, and so those will be given letter designations. Other than that, this was fun....
Transmission 06.2 – Discussing the Descent So here is the listener feedback episode for Descent of Angels. Greg also fills us in about his recent holiday at the Hour Heresy Weekender! I’m sorry about the sound quality on this one. It’s not exactly poor quality or anything, but it’s not to our usual standards and...
Transmission 06.1 – Descent of Angels Books 3 and 4 So here is the second 1/2 of Descent of Angels here for you! We keep going with all the themes and ideas about Zahariel, Nemiel, Luther and the Lion. Enjoy! If you liked the show, please help by leaving a positive review on iTunes....
Transmission 06 – Descent of Angels Books 1 and 2 So here is the first 1/2 of Descent of Angels here for you! Much like a spiral turning ever around on itself, we discuss the steadily repeated themes and symbols in this, the 6th book in the Horus Heresy series. Expect the second half...
Transmission 05.2 – Following Fulgrim So tonight we discuss listener feedback and forum discussions to start the show. After that, we discuss power armor and its various iterations, as this is something I often find confusing. Besides, it’s soooo much easier to have Greg explain it to me than to take the initiative and spend...
Transmission 05. 1 – Fulgrim Parts 4 and 5 So tonight we continue with Fulgrim (parts 4&5) by Graham McNeill. We start off talking about the cover as we skipped that last time, but then jump right into part four. We had a great time discussing this book and we hope you all enjoyed it...
After Ullanor Transmission 05 – Fulgrim Books 1-3 So tonight we look inside the sick and sad mind of Fulgrim (at least parts 1-3) by Graham McNeill. We start off talking about the book in general, but then get right in with part one. The only problem is there are so many characters and...
Transmission 4.1 – Remembering the Eisensteing So on this listener feedback episode we have quite a bit of discussion of The Flight of the Eisenstein. We got more feedback on this episode than on our previous episodes. We aren’t certain if it’s because we have more listeners or because so many people like this...
After Ullanor Transmission 04 – The Flight of the Eisenstein Sponsored by OGGames So tonight we dive into “The Flight of the Eisenstein” by James Swallow. So here we go with the story of Captain Garro, one of the first of the Astartes to come to faith in the God-Emperor. We loved this one...
Transmission 3.1 – Going Over Galaxy So this transmission begins with us chatting about some of the listener feedback, but it was surprisingly sparse this episode. Just a few points raised. Maybe it’s because Carl was on with us and a third voice really wound up hitting almost all the points. (Yay us!)...
After Ullanor Transmission 3 – Galaxy in Flames Sponsored by OGGames So tonight we dive into “Galaxy in Flames” by Ben Counter. We welcome Carl from The Independent Characters Podcast again as he is more than generous with his time in this obscenely long episode. We exhaustively cover this final installment of the initial...
After Ullanor Transmission 2 – False Gods Sponsored by OGGames Special Guest Co-Host: Carl Tuttle of “The Independent Characters” podcast [insert choir of angels here] So here’s the first of our “listener feedback” episodes. A bunch of you have responded to “False Gods” with your thoughts and ideas about the book and we are bringing...
After Ullanor Transmission 2 – False Gods Sponsored by OGGames So tonight we dive into “False Gods” by Graham McNeill. We know these first few episodes are long, but this opening trilogy is so dense with characters and action that we couldn’t do it justice by skipping around when the entire heresy revolves around...
Sponsored by OG Games Well folks, here it is! Our long overdue discussion of the first book in the Horus Heresy Series, Horus Rising! The format is a bit loose this time as we are still finding our groove, as it were, for pacing and coverage and whatnot. Anyway, we cover quite a bit,...
After Ullanor – The Garagehammer Horus Heresy Book Club Episode 0 – Before Ullanor This is the same episode that used to be on the Garagehammer main feed. We just moved it over to its own feed. From now on you can search “After Ullanor” in iTunes and get these episodes. They will no...
