Warlord: Fury of the Godmachine

Warhammer 40,000

De: David Annandale

Narrado por: John Banks

The Battle Titans of the Adeptus Titanicus are towering war engines, striding to war as holy effigies of the Omnissiah. Greatest of all are the mighty Warlord Titans, their weapons bringing righteous death to alien and heretic alike. Still reeling from a near disastrous battle against tyranids, the Pallidus Morr demi-legio is assigned to a new warzone, a nearby forge world which has fallen under the sway of Chaos.

Here their battered war-machines must fight alongside another Titan Legion, the Imperial Hunters. As city after city falls before the relentless tread of Chaos war machines, the Imperium's only chance of victory lies in the two legios putting aside their differences and fighting as one.

Engaging

So, for how much of a fan of Warhammer 40k I am, I can also admit the premise is dumb. Having said that, I have found this book to be more engaging than a bunch of others in the same universe. Having the perspective of the priest on the ground is what sealed the deal for me. I've read Titanicus, so the demi-legio offered not much new, but the perspective of the priest and his faith made this story very engaging.

Hey it’s not Bolter Porn

I really like the story. It’s nice when you can get a story about Titans.

Worthy of Titanicus

We have long awaited more novels in the spirit of Titanicus. This one surely does not disappoint.

5/5 - Across the Board, Incredible Story

This story start to finish was thrilling, and made you care about the characters while filling the plot with danger, twists, tactical genius and titan battles.

There could have been more titan battles, but to be honest the build-up and the execution of the story was masterful.

Closer to a novela than a full story, but they effectively cut out the fluff - and made it thrilling from beginning to end!

Fantatic Story, with great characters.

The story was really well written, giving alot of depth to the Titans and answering some questions about there functions and pilots. Delves into the politics of nobles and the burdens that come with Pride. Each character I got invested in, they were interesting and unlike many a Warhammer story it didn't feel like plot armor was largely in play. Overall I absolutely recommend even if you care little for the lore of the Titans as it deals with much more than just them.

Good, compelling story

Good story, good characters for the most part. Gets some of the surface level lore regarding the Titans wrong, which is weird considering how in depth it gets on the history of the Pallidus Mor at times. It does accomplish the rare feat of making the reader care about the non titan storylines in a book that is ostensibly only about titans. I’d recommend it.

loved every word!

I own this wonderful story in limited edition book form and I loved listening to it.
like mechwarrior on super steroids.

I'll read the sequel however...

It's pretty straight forward from start to finish. Few twists along the way but the end was predictable enough.

Solid Warhammer novel

Well narrated, solid Warhammer novel, particularly if you're a fan of Titan warfare. it's no Storm of Iron, but still a solid offering.

Good , but nothing special.

it's a decent Warhammer story, has some good sense and some Interesting lore. wish they would have got into that a little more, characters are good but not super stand out. but worth the listen
