[@TodTownsend40K]

Hello again, everyone: Tod the author here. Paul and I are pleased to kick off October 2023 with all of my current Night Lords stories to date - remastered and combined in one video - for your listening pleasure: we have come for you! Once more a big thank to Paul for bringing my Night Lords to such glorious life with his peerless voice-acting skills and for the support and encouragement from all my listeners/fans, especially 'Master Umbra’ who kit-bashed an exquisite mini of Talonmaster Vath (prompting me to write the flash-fic ‘Facing the Night’ for him in gratitude). Concerning future stories/narrations: the ‘Preysight’ series will be continued in episodic form. I intend to introduce new NL characters during various points of Imperial history (Great Crusade, Horus Heresy, the Great Scouring, etc), slowly building up the warband and expanding upon the character dynamics and relationships within it. These future works will also contain more death, violence and mature themes. Hope everyone enjoys Volume One and may all of you have a wonderfully spooky Halloween month. Until next time, Ave Dominus Nox! ~ T.T

[@Horrorclause00]

The writing combined with the Voice Acting make this such a great listen. I am not an audio book person, but the quality from both of you have changed that. Thank you, your work is very appreciated.

[@sergiocrowe9848]

Fantastic work on this series, God Speed good man!

[@wiaf8937]

thanks for expanding what is occupying so much of my brain. ill be listening to every word you write, be assured of it, Tod. Dankeschön from germany

[@sethsteuer6926]

Yes give me more night lords it's perfect

[@friendlyneighbourhoodsunwheel]

Thanks for your stories Tod, it would be nice to hear a story from the position of a Nightlord who becomes more and more bored of torcher who has to constantly up the experience to feel anything anymore to "break himself" for a lack of a better term. That every day and every raid is more and more empty as he himself realises the utter futility of it all, kinda like your first preysight chapter and a bit of groundhog day. Regardless keep up the good work.

[@SirSpycrab]

“I am your champion, I will always defend you.” Until the bitter end 😢

[@lukewind13]

I will never get over how good "Humanised" Chaos marine stories are. Really puts the conflict into perspective

[@seamusgreenmurphy]

My exact thought. As a newcomer to 40k I've often wondered why people would sympathize/play as chaos marines other than "they're cool!" But stories like these really bring them to life and you understand the different reasons (and levels) that bring some to such treachery

[@patrickbateman3146]

Sounds like some heresy

[@Rayder2341]

They humanise them as they stand over innocent people they took pleasure in murdering lol

[@TheFyllekajja]

Started collecting death guard because they looked cool, got hooked after reading the lore. The only factions who know true love. No vengeance, no hate, no fear. Yet they are "bad guys"

[@LiterallyAWesternHognose]

​@@patrickbateman3146Cling tight to your faith honorable battle brother for the servants of Chaos know no end to their decrepit reliance on their "dark god's".

[@Jibberjabber105]

“My head hurts” “no shit, you should have left your helmet on” weird when a night lord has a wholesome conversation and even more so when it’s a conversation with a friend

[@apetrila1]

I like S'thacka. Even in his sick, nightlord ways, he seems to have some sense of honor and integrity.

[@cyberpunkfalangist2899]

It's the fun part of the Nightlords. They're a band of criminals and scum but have their own code of honor as warped as it is.

[@calob3927]

[@user-fv5ov2gf5v]

They may not be the best legion by any stretch, but I have yet to see a "bad" Night Lords story. Great readings as always Vox! Ave Dominus Nox!

[@kevinmccalister4602]

I think it’s because of one thing. A strange warped yet anti warp internal integrity. You want to make a campy over the top cartoon villain? Go write about word bearers. You want happily apathetic people sometimes sarcastically going about their day? Death guard. You want grumpy version of that? Iron warriors. You want depravity and insanity? Emperors children. You want sympathetic motives and good intentions that screw everything up anyway? Thousand sons. You want a war of conquest? Black legion. You want horrible people who do horrible things but believe in what they stand for and have a sense of nobility with surprising love and brotherhood, but also a few pure monsters thrown into the ranks? Night lords. I’m sure I’m forgetting someone, but you see my point. If you’re writing night lords you passed up all the above options for a reason. You wanted a specific kind of story and characters you can’t find easily in other legions. Also in this story in particular this MC’s love for Conrad and his ideals despite everything there is to say about Conrad was genuinely inspiring.

[@austintaylor1378]

⁠​⁠@@kevinmccalister4602On an individual basis, one can have unique characters in the other legions. Not totally pidgin holed but definitely more difficult. What makes the NightLords so great is there underlying driving force behind their actions which is, at least to me, what makes a person interesting. And that motivation is: they just really want to kill the false puppet emperor. Don’t blame them either he did them so dirty. He even assassinated their Dad! Like, okay mortal enemy forever. And their power level? It’s almost like Big E knew Conrad was super fkn dangerous and him falling to Tzench, a being of fates and destiny would have been way bad especially coupled with magnus. Them being two shattered souls and belonging to the God he could have fused them or used Conrad’s life essence to make Fatweavers visions better. NightLords visions when interpreted correctly give an edge to say it lightly and them sitting around sanguelsa finding that out as a legion and getting swooped up by a God couldn’t happen. That’d be a neat twist. Still in canon they are slowly realizing their potential with this gift and the impact it’ll have on the imperium and how much a serious threat they are if united under Decimus fully. His visions could lead to gene seed to replenish, relics, avoid danger, when to strike, ally intentions, and how to isolate his gift so others can have it on a lesser more combat effective version. GW basically gave the NightLords a Nuke with him. They don’t have to ever fight a large scale battle with another chapter if they don’t want to because once they are successful, traitors would flock to him and chaos would be very very pleased to have an ally hell bent always on the destruction of their true enemy the big E and possibly lend the NL to their cause hoping Decimus finds appeal in one of their realms of influence. Unlikely but it’s there if it wanted to be written to give the traitors the biggest advantage they’ve ever had

[@mainwaringjohn]

The first Night Lords novel in the Horus Heresy is my favourite traitor novel. Its so well written and they are actually a very good legion.

[@donaldcosenza5535]

These videos move me immensely. They further inspire me to pursue voice acting

[@incufish23]

Awesome. Keep at it and best of luck friend.

[@beltempest4448]

Amazing mate, do it

[@bigdaddy_bo6741]

You're a VA-ing animal!! We appreciate you, Vox!

[@AVoxintheVoid]

I appreciate you more!

[@alexparrish6604]

Gosh, when his friend says "lets become hero's and join the legion"; gosh right in the feels.

[@toooldfortwowheels2048]

The Night Lords are one of the most interesting heretic Astartes sub factions. Never truly "fallen" despite their predilection for violence and murder, with very few being corrupted by allegiance to various chaos gods even as the remaining Astartes fritter away one by one in ponderous attrition, skirmish by skirmish, raid by raid. They often show disdain and shame at those who succumb to the temptation of the dark powers. They were always on a collision course with disaster given Curse's increasingly unstable disposition. I can't wait to see what GW decides to do with them in future CSM codices. 🤞🏻

[@Malkav]

God, the ending of Preysight II just hits so much harder after having the prequel included. Such an amazing series from Tod and Vox! Please we need more!!! Perhaps some more prequel side stories!

[@TodTownsend40K]

More prequel side stories are just what I'm planning on; I'm glad you've been enjoying them so much

[@robertemerson1087]

@@TodTownsend40KDude, thank you so much for this content.

My wife who knew nothing of 40k aside from the imperial knight i have on my bookshelf is now obessed with your work too! Once again great stuff Sir.

[@danielsantiagomontoyaotalv1595]

So what I've learned so far is, every Night lord has exactly 1 friend who they love to death

[@noahjones9833]

Theyre uchiha

[@friendlyneighbourhoodsunwheel]

Thanks yet again I do love hearing this in order. I'm glad everyone here is enjoying the 8th as much as I am it's the only Legion which I actually like and enjoy the lore and theming of.

[@fahadhossain5705]

Yes i was here first. ❤❤❤❤ NIGHT LORDS !!!

[@mitdragnurb]

I never thought to have any sympathy for the Night Lords but here it is. What a story, what a tragedy.

[@darionietlispach2470]

so refreshing to see the traitor legions portrayed as more than evil mustache twirlers =) excellent series with outstanding narration =D i love it

[@Tekjive]

Right off the bat bro, your original intro is waaaay better and original to you. Plz don’t change that. Now on to listening :)

[@AVoxintheVoid]

dont worry, these are only for compilations etc

It has been a while since I commited to watching a movie, been struggling a bit in general. But this beautiful piece of art - it just flew by. Fantastic writing and brilliant narration/voice acting. Thank you sincerely.

[@Jules-1993]

I didn't think any story involving the Night Lords could make me feel such things. Yet here I am tearing up at the final story. "Caring is weakness" I don't think he really meant that, because he saved his friend so many times. And even though he didn't manage to save him this they both always cared until the end. In the end, their friendship endured.🖤🥹 Ave Dominus Nox.

[@walterwhitaker1395]

STUPENDOUS!

[@neshirst-ashuach1881]

Wow, excellent reading. Its fascinating to see the universe from the perspective of one of the most evil factions and how they arw justified in their own eyes.

Bro your productions are better then stuff ive listend to on audible. Billion dollar company losing to an independent, keep up the glorious work brother.

[@WhiteIkiryo-yt2it]

While a loyalist of the Dark Angels (*CEASE YOUR SNICKERING!*), The Night Lords are by far the most interesting Legion after the Heresy and I hope we get more of them in the future.

[@kakapokid1796]

OK these stories completely changed the Night lords in my eyes. Amazing

[@InVinoVeratas]

I now have a newfound appreciation for the Nightlords. I used to think of them as unfeeling, sadistic, kilking machines, akin to Drukahi, but I see some of them in a new light now, as actual characters, and not mere props for grimdark narrative.

[@bjornpolivka5774]

As always worth the wait. You’re one of the few channels I always like the video and I try to not forget to comment for the algorithm 😂. The reason is the quality of the audio effects, music and narration is professional level in my opinion. Plus, no begging for liking and commenting before the video even starts. I see you trust your viewers are capable of noticing the quality by themselves. Just pure joy for us viewers, I genuinely hope your channel reaches the stars ⭐️ so to speak as in my opinion you do the best narrations and the authors of the stories clearly love 40k as much as we all do and know how to write an engaging story. Thank you for all the quality ❤

[@AVoxintheVoid]

What an incredibly humbling message to read. Thankyou so much for taking the time to show your support my friend, means a lot
