I have recently started getting into death guard painting and lore. This was a very nice start to everything.
Would definitely recommend this to someone who enjoys death guards and short stories.

not great, not terrible

A good collection of stories unfortunately slightly ruined for me because of the incessant sound effects that have been overlayed on this, seems more like a radio soap opera than an audiobook.

Absolutely amazing

I don’t normally leave reviews but I was so blown away by this audiobook I felt I had no choice. This gives you an in depth look at some of the fallen hero’s of the great crusade and what happened to these figure later on.

enjoyed but can't stand Harlequins

enjoyed vast majority of those stories, Best one IMO is Necron one in terms of performance. Worst is about Eldar Harlequins, can't stand those in the game and in lore. Very well done overall.
