Summary
BONUS CONTENT* Joshy and Jonny discuss February's Book Club: The Horus Heresy Dropsite Massacre (2025) by John French, performed by Jonathan Keeble. There will be spoilers. Dropsite Massacre is a love letter to fans of the Horus Heresy saga, featuring many different characters and factions, following the reveal of Horus' betrayal against the Imperium. This novel follows the Primarchs and their legions, alternating between the traitors and the loyalists sent to end their treachery. What ensues is a storm of violence that will shake the brotherhoods of the Astartes forevermore. March's Book Club will be a classic. 'Helsreach' (2010) by Aaron Dembski-Bowden, performed also by Jonathan Keeble. The novel follows Grimaldus of the Black Templars' defiant defense through the Third War for Armageddon. – Website/links: https://ttpfieldmanual.captivate.fm https://discord.gg/2dX5JqfNQ6 – TIMESTAMPS 0:00 Intro and first impressions 9:34 The beginning of the plot 20:13 The First Wave 31:25 The Second Wave betrayal 38:16 Discussing characters, favourite moments, and other HH tie-in stories 49:35 Closing remarks and next book club pick – TTP Field Manual is brought to you by Joshy and Jonny, best friends and tabletop gaming tragics from the local group Trust the Process Hobbies . Die-hard fans of tabletop gaming, we use this podcast as a platform to share our ramblings about the hobby (though we cannot shut up about Warhammer). By day, Joshy is a therapist; by night, an RPG aficionado raised on Final Fantasy and years of crafting his own Dungeons & Dragons worlds. Jonny, a technician, spends his downtime conquering more video games than Joshy can keep track of. Our occasional guest Zakky has a passion for buying things he then has to build. Thanks for listening!
