Great deal

For 1 credit you get a bunch of the short stories. If you want to listen to then but didn't want to pay the absurd price of 1 credit for each 1 hour story, then this is for you. It's heavily Stormcast though so heads up to those who don't like them. I enjoyed this even though the last half of the stories were in the audio drama style (radio show, pre television).

Wonderful stories- A great place to start

Amazing performances. makes you somewhat disappointed that more audiobooks don't put in this level of effort.

Minor Glitches Slightly Mar Otherwise Excellent Short Stories

The stories and performances themselves are mostly excellent. Though sometimes there are clunky bits of expository dialog that would never be said out loud and could have simply been replaced in favor of sound effects (let the listeners imagination paint the picture instead).

At least one story is placed out of narrative order as of June 2023. Great Red should come after Fist of Mork, Fist of Gork.

In several places the audio effects make it difficult to understand the dialog.

Otherwise an excellent collection of tales giving an intriguing introduction to the mortal realms and their varied denizens.

The first few

The first few stories of the stormcast hunting manfred felt kinda episodic in good way.

Beware.

Good and a solid pickup for 1 credit but some of these are out of order. such as beast of cartha

Out of Order

The Rammus, Tarsus, and Mannfred story line is out of order, like the Great Red and Beast of Cartha. Great selection of audio dramas.

Best Book Ive Done on Audible

This is a collection of short stories, some better than others, but there are some good ones in here. Honestly this program was done like a radio dramatization. Loved this style! I'd be much more into a lot of the other Warhammer books if they were done this way. If you're going to check any of them out, do this one.

All stormcast all the time

Very well performed, great audio effects. But the description didn't make it clear that these stories are entirely about only one faction, the stormcast. Eventually listening to these Mary Sues go on and on about faith gets old.

to much background

numerous time this title became unlistenable do too the background sfx and ambience drowning out the narrarator and the voice actors.
