It's Inspired to make my own Homebrew Chaos Chapter - a mash up of Barker's Cenobites and Slannesh Disciples - The Progeny of Pain. They fuel themselves with the suffering of all sentient species. Their " armour" made from the constantly mewling forms of various intergalactic newborns, spawned into a pitiless universe without consent. Humans of course being the hot favourite. They return to their God to be torn asunder and harvested before being agonisingly rebirthed to repeat their cycle.

You can rub a little Lovecraft funk in it. Go the way of Old Shubby. Maybe call the harvest/rebirther The Ecidna. A grotesque disembodied purplish hued psychotropic perptually pulsing, convulsing womb-vula like entity which twitches spazmodically in the Orgasmic throes of Transcendental Torture it's screams stifled due to lack of Orficial Outlet and reverberated backwards into an echo of endless Ecstacy. It is one of many of Slannesh's Harlots of Scarlet Suffering. An order of various hyper- hermorphidical herseys. The Progeny of Pain Serve as one of Slanessh's violent violations of virtues. And The God gets vicarious vibrations from their many Ravages Upon Reality.

Never heard you before this. Blown away, looking forward to more, dark like this or dark in the normal 40k with marines. With amazing with the tone and ambiance of sounds. You made me visualize a story better than anyone else ever has! 👍 Damn good

[@AVoxintheVoid]

Cheers Christopher! I've tried to specialise in the darker side of 40k and glad people like yourself enjoy what I do. Hope you stick around!

GW would never write this well or this accurate. Great work!

Brother Vox you've outdone yourself once again. Truly gripping work. Hair curling at moments. Thank you for these great works! Emperor bless you with peace and prosperity.

[@AVoxintheVoid]

Thankyou sir. I'm glad you enjoyed it! I was extremely nervous about this one as it was my first personally written piece I've ever narrated. I'm so happy how it's been received and truly have the bug now!

[@darionietlispach2470]

this is the essence... the horror that allows child soldiers desecrated with pain, hatred and inhuman indoctrination to appear as heros... its like drinking fine wine made from grapes plucked by slaves worked to death under the wips of mercyless masters in the twillight of a world violated by nuclear fire... its so horrific yet intoxicating... the absence of humanity and the palpable aura of despair makes me value humanity of today with all its flaws and i wonder how close we are to stories like this... thank you Vox for making me think, to slow down. by all their horror... this stories help me to silence the blender of the 21. century infornstion storm.

Now moviemakers could take note of this...True horror at it's finest.. No disney ending here.. What makes it scarier is the fact.. This reminds us of life and the lack of time we have and how little control over it we wield.I await Act 2 and Act 3.

[@Doomseer]

Yesss.. this is the way 40k should be, grimdark to the very bone and so haunting it leaves the reader pondering the dichotomy between good and evil, humanity and inhumanity and of course darkness and light.. Furthermore I want to feel in my heart the raw intensity of what life truly is and all the horror that comes along with it threatening to make even the brightest of flames flicker and die or burn all the brighter in defiance of inevitable oblivion until you transcend the mortal coil of humanity altogether and manifest into a burning star of all encompassing hatred and rage..

[@AVoxintheVoid]

This is the exactly how I feel about the universe as well. I have always gravitated towards the darker side of any franchise I have an interest in and the GrimDark of wh40k that I grew up with has dissolved over the last 20 years or so.

[@Doomseer]

@@AVoxintheVoid Damn I myself have only been a fan of Warhammer for six years give or take and yet the fact it has progressively become less and less grimdark overtime stings all the same considering it is the very heart and soul WH40K. Therefore I can't imagine what it must be like for a fan such as yourself who grew up with 40k only to watch as it strays further and further from what made it so special in the first place.. I honestly think that at this point 40k should be a part of the public domain so that anybody can draw from it in order to create their own stories, short animations, short films, full length live action/animated movies or TV shows and actually make money from it. Then fans could be treated to the truly grimdark 40k universe they once loved! Ugh I really REALLY don't like GW cause the AMAZING fan base deserves so much better than them 😮‍💨

[@AVoxintheVoid]

To be honest John I've been a fan for over 30 years...Christ I'm an old boy now. I remember actually feeling scared when reading through old white dwarfs. I don't think it's even possible to feel that way when reading through modern lore etc.

[@maddogmadden23]

This is amazing! This is exactly how I view my chaos army.. this very weird version of hell on "earth". Love it!

[@zazz69ed]

just found your channel and subbed and liked and commented..i love this !! i do not have any idea about anything in warhammer.. but you have me intrigued and checking out more of your content. thank you.. i love audio books or stories... my son is a published voice actor and does similar things on his channel for fun.. but i love the music that accents perfectly the tale being told !!! i love the fact you wrote this. do you have a merch page or any of your written works for sale?

[@Dargaud89]

To me, stories like this, maybe also Death of Hope, as another recent example, are what really drew me into 40k, even at a young age. I don't need the power rangers (Primaris) or golden boys (Custodes). I much prefer the stories about the sheer unimaginable horror that is Chaos and the Warp. Learning more about the slippery slope that leads one towards the path to damnation should be explored more in my opinion. After all a cult doesn't wake up one day and decides that now is a great time for m*rder s*x parties. 😛 But I also really enjoy the stories where sh*t has already really hit the fan, like this one.

[@AVoxintheVoid]

Thankyou my friend! That's exactly what hooked me into the universe aswell, the true grim dark near the beginning of 40ks life cycle in pop culture. And on a side note...I was in death of hope aswell..so double thumbs up to you! 👍👍

[@Dargaud89]

@@AVoxintheVoid Much appreciated 🙂 - I highly doubt that we will get to experience another piece like Daemonculaba (and others...) in the "official lore" as it is probably too controversial for todays standards / too hardcore for mass appeal. But I will always appreciate people like you, who stay true to the source material and don't forget what 40k really used to be all about. (Hopefully that doesn't get one put on a list, lol. 😛) I was not aware, that you were also involved in Death of Hope. Thanks for the info - fantastic!

[@chriscoviello2500]
