Baneblade

Warhammer 40,000

By: Guy Haley

Narrated by: Toby Longworth

A Warhammer 40,000 Audiobook

The crew of the Baneblade Mars Triumphant wage bitter war against the orks for the fate of the Kalidar system – but old rivalries threaten to doom them all.

LISTEN TO IT BECAUSE

It's fast-paced, hard-hitting action based around one of the mightiest battle tanks in the galaxy – and Guy Haley does a fantastic job with not only the crew of the Baneblade, but their ork enemies too, making this a fascinating look at battle from both sides.

THE STORY

By the blessing of the Omnissiah was the Mars Triumphant born – from the forges of the Adeptus Mechanicus, the mighty Baneblade super-heavy battle tank comes to bring death and destruction to the foes of the Imperium. As part of the Paragonian 7th Company, Honoured Lieutenant Marken Cortein Lo Bannick commands the venerable war machine in a bitter war against the orks in the Kalidar system. As the campaign grinds on it begins to take its toll upon his crew, and old clan prejudices from the regiment's home world arise once more. In a war which cannot be won by force of arms alone, such division may prove to be their undoing.

Great book

Fantastic book on a great set of characters and a very cool look into imperial guard tanks!

One of my favorites

I didn’t think a book about a tank could be written this well. My only complaint is that the second book shadowsword doesn’t have an audio version yet

A tad long

The beginning slogs a but but once the stpry gets out of its owb way, it is fairly good. Still is a tad long.

Long Live Cortein's Honor!

This book came out of nowhere for me and immediately commanded my full attention for the last two days. I blazed through this faster than most 40k books, and I can't recommend it enough for fans of the Guard, or for fans of the mighty Baneblade - it should be on every tank fan's shelf! I can't wait for the next book (Shadowsword) to get it's audiobook version to continue the tale, and follow up on the survivors of the events of this book. Thoroughly enjoyable through and through, Toby Longworth in particular delivers his usual standout performance and brings multiple engaging characters to life, including the full human, and Ork cast! This book was well worth the price of purchase, and I see myself returning for repeat listens in the future!

Restart the Engine

Was absolutely fantastic, restarted my love for the guard and has put a baneblade on my painting desk. Do not skip the epilogue.
