Satisfying, if predictable listen.

Great voice acting and sound design. Classic WH40k story with all the tropes and purple writing. Fun if predictable.

great little shory

I thoroughly enjoyed this little short. it was gripping and brutal. although I kind of predicted how it would go, that's not a bad thing, just means that it is very fitting of the dark angels, and the twisted cultists they do often face. that being said it still surprised me a few times and the awesome performance made it really stand out.

Great audio drama intro to the Unforgiven

This is an audio drama, voice actors for the various characters. Very well done. Don't care for the title as it's more about his predecessor than him and doesn't even end with his ascending, just the story behind why he is filled with rage. still an excellent story and well told. The actors did a great job. it also introduces the Dark Angels in a way that is understandable but not over explanatory for new people

So So short. Should be labeled a Short Story

Good narration and story, but terribly short. If you enjoy the lore and can afford it id recommend
