Absolutely phenomenal. Above and beyond what I hoped for this story. Thank you for the honor of giving my story this level of life, this level of effort! I wrote this, and the end even had me in tears 😢 😭 You did so well! The battle, the noises, the dropship, EVERYTHING! Keep up the amazing work, and once again, thank you so very much for this!

not gonna lie, I am a big fan of audio books and audio drama's and this blew me away. Honestly I was shedding a few tears by the end. The picture you painted with this piece was truly something to be proud of. ❤

Lived quite a while for a guardsman. Great story 👍🏻

[@MylesWard-m1v]

God damn this is good. My daughter walked in during the last 15 minutes and never said a word. She just sat silent. That in itself is a miracle. I look forward to more of your work.

Just wow !!! Never have i been so taken with such emotions from a 40k story! You make it possible to understand what it truly means to be a guardsman.. one of untold billions I salute you sir 🫡 Can't wait to hear more from you!

Damn this is good

[@heathenhammerfeld148]

As I write this tears welling in my eyes. Such a agonizing and heart felt story. I never had the honor to serve in the military but have many close family and friends that have. Some that never came home or came back as mere shadows of their former selves. This hit hard with the brief glimpses of real life accounts that they were able to share with. Fucking well done to Devin Jones and this channel.

Thanks for the upload. Emperor protects, brothers.

[@smoore6461]

What an amazingly written story with totally great production and sound effects. I love stories about the Imperial Guard, I love the Space Maries, but the guardsmen always make for a great story as just normal humans forced to fight through hell without the superhuman, transhumanist power of Astarte's. The writer wrote an amazing story, and the telling of that great story was awesome!

Listen harder. You will hear all the human actor accent and pronunciation inconsistencies. It's a lesser used accent on the channel so i took a second listen with pencil and paper in hand. Don't get me started on the their narrator accent. It's freaking butter and flummoxed me for the longest.
