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!

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

So true... I think the PoV of the lowest is often the most interresting and terrifying. Many thanks to the Creator and to your support. 👍

[@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.

[@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 🙏

[@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 🙏

So surreal, the last hours on a dying world, not done yet but i gotta say the first part with the girl got under my skin. Her first and last ale😢

[@hobbes2555]

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

[@runegartmann1255]

Dude, I am a kindergarten teacher, and I can honestly say that I would do the exact same thing. If it was truly the end of all things, then I think that the children should be spared since they are innocent in the feelings of the adults. Great story, but damn that hit me

[@SnibsnBibs]

It's weird, but the fantastic way this is written gives me a whole new perspective on the rage of the space marines. Imagine it, stories like these are a dime a dozen in the day-to-day of the imperium, and marines are usually hundreds if not thousands of years old. They not only hear of all of these horrifying events befalling mankind, but they live them for a dozen lifetimes. Centuries of battling these xenos, centuries of seeing stories like this one play out before your very eyes. Centuries to comprehend just how much cruelty and unspeakable atrocities are heaped upon the weak. They spend every waking moment absorbing the depth of the treacheries and malice the universe has spat in humanity's face since before that millennia-old warrior was even born. And with all this experience, with memories just like this story stretching back for generations, they sink deeper and deeper into conviction in their beliefs. A human being is a canvas for the xenos and horrors of the galaxy to paint their terror on with impunity. But a space marine is a human given the ability to grab the brush and say "no more." So it's not hard to see why space marines often eschew high tech ranged weaponry in favor of charging at 40 mph across open terrain with a screaming chainsword and a mouth full of foam. With every new battle and with every new nightmare performed on their mortal human brothers, they have just one more drop of fuel in a bucket of promethium-laced loathing that has had centuries to fill well past overflowing. The next time they see a hormagaunt skittering towards them, all those years of growing hate will play back through their mind at superhuman speed once again, with images of that drunk little girl appearing at the exact instant ceramite fingers snatch it by the neck mid-leap.

[@Tacoguy1000]

That's great and all, but i don't know if they are that passionate about the normal lot. There are more stories anout them belittling and sneering at them than there are of this

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.

[@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!

[@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.
