3 Mugs & a Monster | 13. We're joined by an expert
In this episode we're joined by Dr Tobias Capwell to discuss all things Horus Heresy. We spend a significant amount of time talking about the lore and mythology of the setting, before taking a bit of a dive into his professional, expert opinion on Wargear and psychology in the 31st Millennium.
Unfortunately this episode is plagued with technical issues, which we've done our best to counter, and we're hopeful that we'll be able to chat with Toby once again in the future.
