Audio Review // Eye of Terra: Sins of the Father by Andy Smillie
A story may only last a few minutes, but that doesn't mean it can't leave an impression. Sins of the Father offers a thoughtful glimpse into the mind of Sanguinius as he reflects on the strengths, flaws, and uncertain future of his beloved Blood Angels. It may be too short to recommend as a standalone purchase, but for Horus Heresy fans it's a fascinating character piece that's well worth experiencing.
Audio Review // Eye of Terra: Stratagem by Nick Kyme
Aeonid Thiel's journey reaches its conclusion in Stratagem, a short but rewarding audio drama that reunites him with Roboute Guilliman after the events of Calth and the Shadow Crusade. Along the way, we witness the early foundations of the Codex Astartes and the transformation of the red helmet from a mark of censure into a symbol of leadership. It may only be 21 minutes long, but there's plenty here for Horus Heresy fans to enjoy. Here's my full review.

Audio Review // Massacre by Aaron Dembski-Bowden
Massacre is a fast, brutal snapshot of the Night Lords at their peak.

It’s everything you want from a Night Lords story, sharp, savage, and far too short once it gets going.

Audio Review // Horus Heresy: Chirurgeon by Nick Kyme
