The medic saying "thanks for trying" to the soldier actually brought me to tears

[@joeltarly9596]

That was a good moment, really added to marks humanity

[@dreadknight1668]

The writing for the tyrranids charging the gaurdsmans positions, and the way they flow like water was wonderfully horrific!

[@wojciechekhendalekolecia4682]

Your readings are pure Gold You can feel grimm dark,you can smell horror while listening

[@AVoxintheVoid]

This is such a great message for any creator to read. Thankyou 🙏

[@arizonaicesuntea9922]

I love the beginning, I like how when people realize that when it's the end of the world, they enjoy each other. They party, dance, and drink. It's best to spend the end of the world happy and drunk than sober and miserable. Great work Vox

[@AVoxintheVoid]

I'd definitely be partying hard that's for sure! 🍺

[@rougenarwhal8378]

all the doctrine and dogma about purity and remaining steadfast in the face of death was all ignored when shit hit the fan and people just tried to enjoy what little life was remamining for them

[@MYJEWISHLAMPSHADES]

​@@AVoxintheVoid I REMEMBER... I remember the forlorn days of heresy...oh how I remember. Those days...not wanting to see...to know how they wronged our lord. But I must remember. In the void...he was. I could see the fears of the shadows. With desecrated eyes he stared...at me...into what was left of my wretched soul. This unclean spirit I contained. Alone he was...for eons. So cold...so cold there...an absence not only of heat...but also warmth. He spoke. In words I would never fathom. In a trillion languages that never existed, but were somehow familiar. There in the dark our wronged lord...he whispered to me... MAGA.

[@emmanueltrejo4226]

Guardsman stories are the greatest tragedies of the imperium. Thank you for another masterpiece.

[@AVoxintheVoid]

No, thankyou for the support! 🙏

[@thomaslafferty8382]

That was brutal and tragic. The imagery was fantastic

[@AngelusNielson]

100% I can’t believe this channel hasn’t taken off yet. Keep it up, it will.

Ain't wrong.

If he gets too popular games workshop will go after him tho

[@AndrewTwiggNow]

Couldn't agree more, easily one of the best Warhammer audio guys out there please don't stop making these !

[@andrewg1173]

The accompaniment music went perfectly with the story. The sense of dread of fighting for a dying world and then living out the finals hours before our poor guardsmen meet his doom was chilling. It reminded me of a darker version of the Fall of Reach if you don't mind the comparison to Halo. Another fantastic piece of work.

[@AVoxintheVoid]

Thankyou! I try and find the perfect pieces of music for the theme and I'm glad it's appreciated 🙏

[@hobbes2555]

I had to go out and hug my little girl for a long moment after listening to this. Damn this was sad.

[@samuelfurlano1897]

Even when it may seem like a lost cause, there is only thing to remember. We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills. And we shall never surrender. Might as well if you are going to be bug food.

[@kostakatsoulis2922]

An extra day keeping the hive occupied on this planet is a day more before they descend upon the next. Your sacrifice is NEVER meaningless.

[@AngelusNielson]

@@kostakatsoulis2922 Is it though? The best you can ask for is for everyone to die a day later. This is why people fall to Chaos no matter how horrific it is. Small hope at a cost is better than no hope at all.

[@kostakatsoulis2922]

@@AngelusNielson because a day could be the difference between a battlegroup of hardened Cadians deployed and entrenched on the next world, delaying the Tyranids by a further week. That week might then give time for a Deathwatch killteam to get in position a take out a hiveship or something, so that when the Tyranids meet that Imperial Navy sector fleet, they are just week enough for their drive into the sector to be stopped from going any further. This is one specific example of what might, but the point is it matters.

[@AngelusNielson]

@@kostakatsoulis2922 Yeah, but probably not. can't defend every single planet the nids attack and they'll have to choose. Better hope that your planet has some strategic importance...

[@kostakatsoulis2922]

@@AngelusNielson but it adds up over time. If each planet fights their hardest they might individually delay the Nids by a day or 2, but that might add up to weeks or months, giving extra time for more powerful to be brought in to deal with the threat before it gets to even more worlds. Doesn't matter where you delay them, as long you do.

[@spottedslash4256]

Without the Flash of the Space marines and Primarchs. This is the Standard of what 40k is. Uncomfortable and Brutal Survival and tragedy. Gotta take the Bitter with the Sweet if you want to be in this Fandom long term. All in All a great and harrowing story.

[@funbro99]

Even without the marines, the bitter is the grimdark tales but likewise. There shall always be some sweetness that is mankind and her guardsmen.

[@TheAlexRhodes]

Not quite true. There were multiple advanced human civilizations around, they were just replaced or destroyed during the Emperor's crusade. In a way, those space marines you mention have removed choice from the equation, so they have to be relied upon.

[@inwit594]

@@TheAlexRhodes It's a candid reminder that space marines have been tricked by the Emperor into believing that they aren't human when they're still very vulnerable to all of humanities nature. They were taken as children and turned into monstrously powerful soldiers, indoctrinated by psychotic machines and practices so effective that it takes a corruptive influence of the very soul like Chaos to properly shake it off, and even then it remains in some capacity -- It's part of why there aren't many renegade space marines, and those that exist never consort with the alien and still manage to hate the heretic, as if they aren't one of them, simply because of how thorough it was. Yet they remain capable, though in some cases in a muted capacity, of all human emotions. The good, the bad, and the ugly. Imagine living like that... Superhumanly intelligent, having your ego obliterated and then rebuilt to serve an organization. Capable of understanding that you've been indoctrinated down to the very processes used to do it to you, but completely unable to shake it off, no matter how aware of it you are, how unwilling you are to go along with it. Forgetting your family, your past life, and having to fight every single day until the day you die with the guarantee that you will not rest until you do. They are just as much victims as they are the bad guys. If anything, it makes it all so much worse. You can't even hold them fully accountable for what they do, and they do a lot of terrible things. They did all these atrocities, destroyed countless human cultures, are one of the main driving factors behind humanities social stagnation in the modern setting, and yet as individuals they were taken as terrified children to compete for favour, too ignorant to understand what horror awaited them and far, far, far too weak to do anything about it anyway. You know how it's said that most often abusers were once abused themselves? Think about how space marines are created. One abused child turned into an engineered killer perpetuates another childs journey through the same process, ad infinitum.

[@taOGrimace]

I honestly can't wait until you do Tomb World awakening. Your voice is soothingly haunting whenever the scene gets violent or describing the trauma. Keep up the great work, man!

[@Malkav]

And I gotta ask, is Stephen ok? Ever since Abomination, I sometimes worry what kind of dark places his mind immerses itself in to weave these stories of horror and hopelessness XD

[@AVoxintheVoid]

Me and Stephen are kindred spirits..and I'm ok.....maybe

[@REDVETTExxx]

@@AVoxintheVoidits awesome! Get evil! Lol

[@johnsmithfrombackeast7376]

This is the grim dark. This is why the Imperium of Man is the horror it is. The insane calculus of exterminatus vs. production made all too often in the grim dark of the far future...

[@soulsmoke01]

best Tyranid story ive heard yet! found a new love! well played Vox! mad love from the Bay!

[@Turnil321]

I also liked Flesh Noose (also from this channel).

[@Gr33nOfGrundleburg]

These ones will be avenged, in one system or another. This is the era Indomitus, and hope yet burns in the galaxy. Excellent work as always, Vox.

[@alexandermcgovern1471]

I just love this story. And how the soldier held onto his convictions and did his best for the poor child. But I understand and agree with the little mercy they gave the child. Put her into a deep sleep so she won’t suffer and be eaten alive.

[@AIN1981]

This is sad and brutal! Well delivered story! Thanks 👍

[@nathenwheeler8638]

Wow, the ending is reminiscent of the mist. Very harrowing indeed! Man, I love the depictions of dealing with the futility of any and all your actions. The frustration of it all, and the despair as all you can do is take out that frustration against the people in the same situation as you, or yourself. . . Beautifully written, very gripping, and wonderfully narrated! This is going in the top 10!

[@KJ-pu8dw]

Yes made me think of the Mist. Under rated film / book by Stephen King

Absolutely fantastic! I'm a big nids fan and I think you captured the dark side of planetary assimilation perfectly, I wish it didn't end so abruptly! I would have liked him to have traveled to a few places etc and been on the run from them for a while with the girl. Or have some space marines or even chaos join in the fight and get them to navigate around that ! It opened up my eyes to the darker side of Warhammer 40k!

man.. I know it's weird that a person narrating stories might have such a big impact on someone but it's been a very hard few years.. health, drugs, life, shame.. putting my life back together is too hard to continue doing but after coming across this channel and others it's been easier.. my mind punishes me constantly so I listen to your narrations almost all day. I get lost in details, plot twists, and the delivery of it all. Its saved my life and I truly appreciate that

[@AngelusNielson]

Such a grim example of what it'd be like to be on the receiving end of a 'nid invasion.

[@phillipmele8533]

Flesh Noose, Macregate Instinct, and this one are some of my favorite pieces on the channel due to the sheer horror the authors brought to life. Much of the official writing around Tyranids is disconnected and almost clinical, from the perspective of great nations concerned primarily that this veritable horde of locusts will cause wider strife due to the loss of grain. No thought is really spared for the farm, let alone the farmer, and even less for the grain itself. It’s the broad consequences that matter, and that sort of writing does have its place. Pieces like this really give you the feeling of a stalk of grain as the locusts start feasting.
