Description
The Horus Heresy burns the galaxy From the core worlds to the farthest segmentum, the Imperium is torn asunder. Armies clash on a thousand worlds, billions of lives are destroyed in the name of their liege lords. And amongst the chaos, four warlords sit down to chat. Welcome to The Dropped Dice Massacre, a podcast all about the Horus Heresy. From lore tidbits, to hobbying tips, to gameplay ideas we cover it all! Hosted by four hobby veterans (who should probably know better), and (hopefully) putting out an episode a month, we hope to provide an interesting soundtrack to your hobbying moments.
