Augur of Despair

Blackstone Fortress: Warhammer 40,000

By: Chris Dows

Narrated by: Lanna Joffrey, Luis Soto, Tom Alexander, Andrew Wincott

A Blackstone Fortress audio drama.

A pair of explorers discover a dangerous and invaluable, artefact deep in the Blackstone Fortress. Can they get it to safety? And even if they do, can they trust the allies they must rely upon to help them understand it?

Listen to it because: Find out how some of the newer explorers in the Blackstone Fortress go about their adventures – and what they seek in the darkness. With thrilling action and character drama on the fortress and Precipice, this is a must-listen for all fans of the Blackstone Fortress game.

The story: The Blackstone Fortress is silent no longer. Through heretical rituals, the followers of the risen Obsidius Mallex have activated more of the Talisman of Vaul’s apocalyptic weapons and created a corrupted citadel in the heart of the fortress itself. Where once only the most desperate and determined adventurers struck out into the Unfathomable in search of riches, now a new breed of explorer delves into the Blackstone to do battle with the forces of the Ruinous Powers. It is on one such expedition that Neyam Shai Murad and Gotfret de Montbard discover an artefact that could tip the balance of power and save not only Precipice, but the Imperium itself....

Written by Chris Dows. Performed by Tom Alexander, Lanna Joffrey, Luis Soto and Andrew Wincott.

Brought these models to life

Having played agents of the imperium, I saw these models but didn't know their story. experiencing this brief but exciting adventure really gave them character that I did not realize previously.

truly enjoyed this

Augur of Despair

This audiobook was very well done! I loved the voice work and the story was a lot of fun. The characters had just the right amount of back story. I only wish that there was a little more to this story.

More noise than story

There is a good story underpinning this product, but it’s all sound effects and exposition. It just doesn’t come together.
