Welcome to the Horus Hour, a podcast dedicated to discussing the world of the Horus Heresy. Join us as we read each book for the first time and discuss the main plot points and themes, all while not taking ourselves too seriously.
This it, this is the one. Technically, maybe. This is the first of six episodes of Horus Hour, covering the final three books.We are, truly, really, in the endgame now. And all is not well in Realspace...
The gate stands ajar. The enemy ranks rush to it in an unending tide. The walls are beginning to laugh at those defending them. The end is near, the Red Angel Cometh...There is but one Son of Humanity who can break the tide, break the enemy, break HIM. The XIth Son rises.
He does not die this day. We know Sanguinis is safe (for now), but how many of his sons, nephews and fellow citizens will fall to make this happen?The bell is tolling in this episode of Siege Season!
We hope it was a White Christmas if you celebrate... But now it's time for White Scars! We are back with Siege Season after a lengthy break (Apologies Sons of the Khan). We are here to get to the meat and bones of the epic clash between the White Scars. Thank you for your patience, and enjoy, Khaaaaagan!
It's Episode 13 of Siege Season... And the luck of the Loyalists has come to an end. A devastating blow at the Mercury Wall has laid low Rogal Dorn's plans. For him and the remaining Loyalists, the goal has changed. Now it is time to hurt the Warmaster's lackeys. Meanwhile, at Colossi, a gathering storm builds. Lightning is preparing to strike in our first episode of Warhawk.
Giant Robots advance, clash and smash in this episode. The final bastions of Terra are in danger of collapse, with Mortis on the march, is there truly no hope? Join us for your Thursday Ratings and a breakdown in this episode.
Giant Robots prepare to clash on the plains of Terra. But before the Titans come to blows, it's time to have a chat about Mortis and whether it is truly deserving of the scores it's about to receive on Thursday Ratings. In addition, Varela's hopes of having a White Scar he likes survive are back on the up! And the Perpetuals have arrived...
Graham McNeil is BACK on Horus Hour The Scot in the Sun joins us for one last Horus Heresy bout! This was an absolute pleasure to record and we got DEEP into the mind of Magnus.
This is it! The one that everyone has been waiting for, the day the siege changed forever. In the second half of Saturnine, we lose the amount of characters that we expect from a Siege book and we have moments that dare to top Raldaron's one liner for coolest Siege Moment. Rogal Dorn has ICE in his veins...
We're hitting the big time of Siege Season! Saturnine is finally here, one of the most praised books of the heresy and one of the greatest clashes of the Heresy. Join us as we discuss the first half of this galaxy changing tome...
The Lion's Gate spaceport faces the full might of the Traitor host. Within the walls of the Palantine, misguided faith threatens to tear down the palace from the inside. As his Seneschal fights tooth and nail for the port, Rogal Dorn is left with a difficult decision...
It's time for the Sons of Dorn to SHINE! The Traitors have measured the defences of the Imperial Palace and have grown impatient. The Lord of Iron has been given authority to strike against the critical Lion's Gate Spaceport. The Fists of the Imperium will clash against the Warriors of Iron in their first major battle since Phall. And meanwhile, within the palace, all is not well as the absolutely exhausted Katsuhiro stumbles upon something unnatural in the aptly named Poxville. And out in the wastes of Terra, a regiment of Imperial Army race to the Palace to provide much needed support to their Lord.
In an absolute monster of an episode, we cover the monumental second half of the Lost and the Damned. White Scars charge, Katsuhiro battles on and the Clown meets his maker. In an episode that drove Varela to exhaustion, this is SIEGE SEASON!
The Enemy are here, they amass above the homeworld, ready to deal the death blow. But the loyal sons of The Emperor will not be so easily defeated. Welcome back to Siege Season, as Singh and Varela begin to dissect what is perhaps the most underrated book of the whole Siege of Terra series...
A more relaxed episode to carry on our Siege Season, as we cover the rag tag gang of the Selenar in the first of the Siege Novellas.
The traitors are in the Sol System. The first line of defence lies in tatters. But was it enough? Have these weeks provided time for the 1st and 13th to reach their father's birthplace in time?
After a nail biting hiatus, the Horus Hour Podcast it's 10th and biggest season yet. SIEGE SEASON. The Loyalists have done all they can, but it was not enough. Horus is at the gates, and all must now fight for the future of the galaxy.
Uh oh, stinky! Singh and Varela discuss the wasting away of the Death Guard, the A Team's badassery, and who might bite it in the upcoming siege. This is the beginning of the end...
Maybe the real chaos was the mess we made of this episode? Good laughs and wild rides in this episode, as we talk bad guys, Cavill and the return of dastardly rats...
That's why he's the GOAT! The GOOOAAAAT!!!
God engines walk and Season Nine begins! Titandeath takes us through the last defiant roar of the Imperium, the fight for Beta-Garmon ends here!
IT'S WOLFIN TIME! In the season eight finale, Singh and Varela walk in the steps of the Great Wolf as he attempts to cut the head off the traitor snake in Wolfsbane...
Black Library's Scot in the Sun returns for another episode! This time Graham joins us to take us through The Crimson King, which sees the Thousand Sons make a decision that will change their fate forever.
The long awaited finale to season 7 is now here! Excuse Singh and Varela's rusty nature this episode, but we're back in the saddle and ready to pod once again! Lion starts with L...
Brace yourself Alexis Polux fans, reality is about to hit...
The Avengers Assemble in this week's episode! Bobby G does nothing wrong whilst the Lion messes the whole gaff up, and a certain Haunter of Night's absolutely runs rings around the both of them.
We're back ladies, gentlemen and heretics! This episode was an absolute blast, as we go on many a tangent while covering this weeks book, Fear to Tread, the Horus Heresy's first deep dive into the Blood Angels, enjoy!
What an underrated book this turned out to be! Knight's Errant, Horus, Titans, Knights oh my! This was such a great and enjoyable read, and the episode we recorded on it isn't half bad either. Enjoy!
Welcome to the first in what will hopefully become a recurring series of special episodes where Singh and Varela sit down with Leaky Cheese and Dantioch to discuss Warhammer: The Horus Heresy (GOD that feels good to type). In this episode we talk about the flurry of Heresy news that struck both in and after Adepticon, and speculate what just might be next for the Horus Heresy Table Top Game!
We made an oath of moment that we had to cover this book before Vengeful Spirit! This collection of short stories, molded into a full novel has it all! Fight scenes, mystery and a question of faith. Welcome to Garro!
Yes! Finally we are covering one of the best books to ever do it in the Horus Heresy, The Master of Mankind! Custodes, Sisters, Mechanicum, Astartes, Jimmy, oh my! So much to cover, and thankfully, so much time, grab your popcorn and join us.
The first few minutes of this episode are dedicated to the people of Ukraine, and how you can help. Lies, Deception! Join us we read through the excellent Bolter and Chainsword publication that details the alternate universe of the Dornian Heresy! We actually like Curze now!? Up the Ukraine!
Well this was certainly interesting! Singh and Varela dive into The Outcast Dead in the hopes of finding some diamonds in the rough in this ultimately muddled plot.
SIEGE OF TERRA SPOILERS: 49:00-52:00 "U-N-I-T-E-D" Valrak replies when I message him asking what team he supports. Hence why he was so keen to get chatting with us. Valrak joins us to talk juicy Warhammer and Horus Heresy rumours, his entry into the hobby and Siege of Terra predictions.
The Wall is breached! This episode we cover a dark horse of the HH series, as Dorn defends Sol from a dastardly foe! Does Varela finally like a legion Singh likes? Well yes, but actually, no.
Is Perturabo, a good guy? No, surely not. And one thing we're sure of is Fulgrim has transcended from rat to SNAKE. Welcome to the Season Five finale, Singh and Varela reuinted, slating some traitors, what's not to like!?
"Fine, I'll do it myself." Said the Horus Hour Community, grabbing hold of what was increasingly looking like a week without a Horus Hour episode. Welcome to the Community Special! With Singh down and nearly out in self-isolation, the venerable Sigilite Varela flexed his creative muscles and teamed up with the shows listeners to talk about their favourite/most obscure piece of lore! Thanks to everyone who came on, we hope you enjoy and we'll certainly do another one in the future!
In what has become a first for our podcast, a Nurgle's plague ridden Singh downed as many go go pills as he could to muster the strength to cover what is fast becoming one of the stand out novels of the Horus Heresy 'The Path of Heaven' John Banks I want my hearing back.
You asked, we answered! Join us as we see get stuck into some of the most requested questions we've received. Enjoy the Chaos.

We're back baby! This week we go rat hunting in the deepest reaches of the warp to learn what caused this whole Horus Heresy mess in the first place. Beware, here be rats!
VULKAN LIVES! Roll Credits. Join us as we discuss this emotional novel by Nick Kyme as a broken Vulkan is continually tortured by his twisted brother Curze. Meanwhile, a group of LADS LADS LADS from the Shattered Legions encounter a dangerous human.
