WARHAMMER 40K AUDIO: UNIFICATION BY CHRIS WRAIGHT (A LORDS OF SILENCE SHORT STORY)

[@jhetttiernan2623]

Bet you anything that one Blood Angel would’ve gotten backhanded by Sanguinius for such disrespect to his brother

[@ABorderPrince]

true

[@badmantrois]

Whoop man you are ridiculously good at this now.... Been with you for aaaaages and you have saved me many times from insomnia and crippling anxiety. You are a hero to me, I mean it

[@altarboi1475]

Damn that’s pretty sincere

[@ethantaylor9613]

I didn’t know the Lords of silence had another story about them besides their name sake book. They’re really cool and add a sprinkle of humanity to all the plague stuff.

[@whythelongface64]

One could say that the story was enblightening.

[@badmantrois]

Agreed heretic

[@roflcopterIII]

Endurance is another short story that's basically a prequel to LoS as well

Ah yes, Sheldon Cooper with the flu and an extended mag of war crimes. Nothing chaotic going on over here inquisitor.

[@RSBurgener]

The Lords of Silence greatly increased my appreciation of 40k. I think Mortarion is a great hero. He's flawed, way too sensitive and a victim or circumstance. I identify with that far more than most of the heroes I've come across! Chris Wraight has been able to give us "the other side" of the story. I can remember when Chaos and Death Guard were just "the bad guys". But we have grown so much farther beyond that these days. It's wonderful!

[@swedeulfson3893]

Love hearing tales of the legion days. Before Mort inherited his gifts. Individual legions crusading side by side; brothers in one giant dysfunctional family. Killer read BP!

[@hunterwaguespack3963]

thinking about more mortaions portrayal in the story trying to get an army and liberate them all from their tyrants and then just thinking about his meeting from the emperor just to have him swoop in and finish off the last boss and have everyone he inspired flock to the emperor is one of the few reasons why I still feel that the death guards and iron warriors betrayal was (I’m not sure if justified) but very understandable. Also fk The blood angels bunch of assholes were too afraid to get their armor dirty and yet criticize the people who were doing the actual dirty work

[@badmantrois]

I dunno if you can say there is anything they'd not get in a tear up with

[@richardseaton1570]

Read the Pre-Primarch Ninth legion history. "The Revenant Legion" or "The eaters of the dead" as they were known, functioned much like the Charcharadons or Minotaurs, utterly obliterating everything the Emperor would rather have remain unseen or forgotten. They did a lot of heavy lifting, and were most definitely Monsters before they met Sanguinnius and decided being Angels was a good idea. Hell, they ate their own dead officers and took their names, alongside foes.

[@stevepalpatine2828]

The Blood Angel in this seemed more like an Emperors Children to me, he reminded me of Eidolon.

[@berndl91]

Vorx is easily my favorite Chaos character. Thank you so much for bringing him alive with your epic voice aborderprince

[@EN-mh4og]

I found myself hoping that he would follow Mortarion to the chaos instead staying loyalist. His admiration for Pale King was so infectious. Pun intended

[@b1battledroid476]

eh, i think him staying loyal makes more sense @@EN-mh4og

[@EN-mh4og]

@@b1battledroid476 I didn't make myself clear. I am happy that he is still with Mortarion.

[@eichler721]

Chris Wraight and Guy Haley are my 2 favorite who write now. They do such good work.

[@Overanalyse_This]

Oh snap! I am busy listening to the Lords of Silence audiobook. I'm not into the models and painting them so it takes quite a while to listen to the whole book. I need something to keep my hand and/or eyes busy while I listen.

[@ABorderPrince]

yeah one of my absolute favourites and probably like one of the top 5 books they put out last 5 years

[@Overanalyse_This]

@ABorderPrince it's sooo good! The well-developed characters, the amazing writing, the contrast between how normal they seem to each other compared to when described through mortal eyes... If it wasn't part of a game universe, it'd be considered a literary classic.

[@Overanalyse_This]

What official Black Library would recommended I listen to next? So far, I've also listened to the Talos trilogy, A Lesson in Darkness, Outer Void, a bunch of ork books, and Head of the Hydra.

[@Giga_Ratt]

I feel like Sanguinius would be disappointed to hear of of his children talking shit about his brother?

[@LanceTheAutobot]

The little lords that dwell within my flesh were silent and still for this reading they rejoice now u have pleased them

[@harmonicajay91]

I really hope Chris Wraight writes the Mortarian Primarch book.

[@Zaprozhan]

Indeed, between your excellent narration, and the author, this gives an excellent glimpse into the mind of the faithful servant of Chaos. Not insane, but coldly, grimly rational.

Did vegeta just say "for the glory of the imperium"?

[@Overanalyse_This]

So what I don't get is why Morty got so pissy about E killing his adoptive dad. He actually waited until he was about to kill Morty before stepping in. The current hate would have been justified if he was winning and E swooped in, killed the guy and said Morty lost their bet. Like, from Morty's POV, what would have been the right thing for E to do?

9:12 ... Kameneo!? was already moving agai....when the back of his helm suddenly plumed with red mist from the exploding bolt round. Vorx stands on the fallen angels back with one foot and forces him below the surface. "Watch your mouth, Son of Raguinius, your Primarch's an Emperor sized pantyliner pad, with wings".

Good stuff. Yeah I didn't much like Valdor either, it was way too much buildup only for a cliffhanger to happen and then more buildup for something else, culminating in what could've been much more interesting besides a poorly described battle. Following the Lord of Terra and the mercenary was tedious. It's not bad, it's just that what Wraight is doing is obvious and you're being strung along.
