Unfortunately I will never get to attend Hogwarts, this is due to my age and most of all Hogwarts is a fictitious school.

Episode 111; Roboute Guilliman: Lord of Ultramar, Primarchs Book 1, Review

5/4/2018

Some franchises can be very hard to penetrate for new listeners. With it's vast lore and multitude of already published titles The Warhammer universe (consisting of The Horus Heresy, Warhammer 40,000, Warhammer Age of Sigmar, Warhammer Chronicles) can be rather daunting, however it can also be one of the most immersive and visceral experiences you can have in the Audiobook format thanks to its mixture of fantastic writers and narrators as well as the complexity of the universe itself.

In this first first episode of our Black Library content Paul tries to find an entry point into the Horus Heresy series that will hopefully help new listeners as well as please those already versed in the mythos.
