Taker of Heads

Warhammer 40,000

De: Ian St Martin

Narrado por: John Banks, Steve Conlin, David Seddon, Andrew Fettes, Philip Nightingale, Matthew Hunt, Emma Gregory

In the jungles of Aztlan a deadly war of the shadows is being fought. And the Imperial Guard are losing. The alien t’au, though few in number, greatly outclass the soldiers of the Imperium and are taking a serious toll on their forces.

A call for aid is answered by the fearsome Mortifactors Chapter, who come to the world full of grim purpose. Adoni, an unblooded neophyte yet to earn his place, is amongst the war party. As the Mortifactors descend into the jungle vastness, they hunt for a killer, one that will not die easily but that whom Adoni must slay if he is to become part of the Chapter and a Taker of Heads.

Best 40k audio drama

This is one of the best 40k audio dramas I’ve ever listened to! Highly recommended!

Schwarzenegger in "Predator" meets 40k

This is definitely performance worth noting! It's a good, quick story that is sure to satisfy.

For fans of grittier 40k fare

While I understand what the author, narrator, and director were going for here, as a Vietnam vet. This chapter, to be fair, is atypical of the Space Marines and really demands this type of story telling. The one HUGE failing, oddly, was the background engineering which causes pieces of dialog to be lost. Also, it provides bits of background with no context which is one of those devices that either works or it doesn't. Here it doesn't. On the plus (and interesting) side, much like Henry Zou's novel "Flesh and Iron", this novel plums blatantly the brutality of War in the 41st millennium. I cannot say I "liked" this novel because it brought back some very strong negative emotions from my time in country, but barring the distracting soundtrack, I appreciate the craftsmanship of both the narrator and writer.

40k meets predator

its literally predator in 40k and thats awesome a good mix of action with back story to a very unique chapter of space marines

Predator in 40k

Two hunters going at each other, to determine who will end up the prey, would love to see a next chapter in this young scouts story

intro to mortifactors

Better audio drama related to another of the unique sucessor chapters in lore. If you like the Exorcists or Charadons, this for you too.

Enjoyable

Prefer the audio dramas from BL. The featured chapter rarely gets love despite being successors of GW's posterboys. The battle gives the Tau a horrific quality compared to the Vietcong. Does not skimp on how absolutely brutal the jungle war is.

The Predator vibes

the voicing of this short story is subtle and very enjoyable. the story is very reminiscent of the very 1st Predator movie..

Really awesome short story

The more I listen to these, the more I want a 40k movie. Good work! I only wish there was more and we continue with this character.

Good story, short and sweet.

Great story, However the introduction of a "Matriarch" into the lore of a unique and interesting character is a joke at best or sly propaganda at worst. I get it, this is fiction, howevwr it did not feel natural or important. It felt forced and weird...
