Excellent Production of 40K

it was awesome. I had never read about 40K Horus Hersey before. You won't be disappointed if you enjoy sci-fi.

Theatrical Masterpiece! ! !

Awesome
characters and descriptions of every scene and the Narrators were beyond fantastic. I went in a bit skeptical! nf left amazed!!!

Excellent!!

Having all these stories broight together and relased in this format is wonderful. I've wanted to get into the Horus Heresy for a while, and this was the perfect way to do it.

The production values are sky high, you're not just listening to someone reading a story. The music and sound effects are very well done and put you right there in the moment.

The performanes match the production in excellence, again adding to the immersion you feel as.you experience these stories.

I love the audio books with sounds effects

The books with accompanying sound effects for the narrative are well done in this collection. Thank you all for the production.

excellent story but one story was too quite.

the stories were great. fighting described in great detail. one story was too quiet I had to turn the volume way up. not Good on a phone.

Overproduced to the point of ridiculousness, but fun

I enjoyed listening to this audiobook. I didn’t appreciate some of the audiodrama’s structures, but on the whole this was fun enough to listen to. The overproduction compensated for when the writing lost its clarity and kept the listen fun, but the drama was so intense that it sometimes distracted from the intended darkness the authors probably had

Sporadic

can I have to follow because of a bouncing all over the place it was a good introduction I guess to the horse heresy

Epic

Dramatic tales of heroes both virtuous and villainous from all sides of the conflict.

I must-listen for Astartes fans.

Beginner's Lucky Choosing

First jump into warhammer and I am here for life. Come for "Little Horus", stay for "The Sigilite".

Amazing!

This was so very well done! Each short story had me on the edge of my seat and sucked me right in.
My favorite was the small glimpse into Void combat in ‘Butchers Nails’. And getting info on what the Primarchs were doing and what they were like during the Horus Heresy. The cast was great all around! Hopefully there will be a Vol. 2
