Audio Drama

Lucius : The Eternal Blade (couverture originale)

Lucius : The Eternal Blade

Audio Drama : 10 min
Renowned as one of the finest duelists the galaxy has ever known, Lucius seeks ever greater challenges against which to test himself. After the Emperor's Children Legion scattered in the wake of their primarch's apotheosis on Iydris, he finds his way into the domain of a similarly legendary swordsman — Sanakht of the Thousand Sons. But which of these infamous warriors carries the greater favour amongst their new masters?
4/5

Un Audio Drama très agréable qui, en peu de temps, nous offre un duel très ambiancé, des indices sur les prochaines rencontres et un twist final pour clore le tout.

The Stromark Massacre (couverture originale)

The Stromark Massacre

Audio Drama : 90min
++We are fury! We are wrath! We are death!++ ++Chaplain Appollus, Flesh Tearers++.
4/5

Deux auteurs pour un audio, une idée charmeuse et efficace qui nous fait vivre le massacre de Stromark en deux temps. Une coopération entre auteurs bien plus réussie que les Flesh Tearers et les Angels Encarmine lorsqu’on y pense.

Trials of Azrael (couverture originale)

Trials of Azrael

As war rages in the Pandorax system, the Imperial battleship Revenge comes under attack by the dread forces of Chaos. As warriors of the Black Legion rampage through the venerable craft, Supreme Grand Master Azrael leads the First Company of the Dark Angels — the elite Deathwing — onto the vessel to eliminate the enemy. Separated from his men, Azrael finds himself trapped in the lower decks with only a tech-priest for company and one of the galaxy's most fearsome warriors hunting him: the infamous Khârn the Betrayer.
Veil of Darkness (couverture originale)

Veil of Darkness

Audio Drama : 75min
++‘Life signs stable.’ ‘He looks… troubled.’ ‘Many going through sus-an membrane coma experience discomfort as part of the revivification process.’ ‘Do you think he’s reliving what happened to him on Damnos?’ ‘Perhaps, it would be his last memory before slipping into a coma.’ ‘I cannot imagine that would be a pleasant experience. That thing very nearly cut him in half.’ ‘He endures, and will rise again.’ ‘You’re confident about that?’ ‘Yes.’ ‘And what about the state of his mind? Will that be intact?’ ‘I… cannot answer.’++.
Censure (couverture originale)

Censure

Audio Drama : 75min
In the depths of Calth’s arcology network, the Underworld War has raged for years. Aeonid Thiel, previously an honoured sergeant of the Ultramarines, once again finds himself in trouble – pitted against the daemonic forces of the Word Bearers, he has no choice but to venture back to the ravaged surface and brave the deadly solar flares that have scoured all life from this world. With a lowly Imperial Army trooper as his only companion, it falls to him to drive the maniacal Dark Apostle Kurtha Sedd and his warband from the overrun XIII Legion stronghold.
3.5/5

Censure est un bon audio drama mais qui n'a malheureusement plus rien à nous offrir après toutes les histoires secondaires de Calth sorties à ce jour. Dommage car Nick Kyme poursuivait l'histoire de Thiel d'une jolie manière.

Blood in the Machine (couverture originale)

Blood in the Machine

Audio Drama : 72 min
++Today, I will teach your kind the meaning of wrath. I will kill.
3.5/5

Blood in the Machine était prometteur avec son ambiance sonore de qualité et ses personnages vivants. Malheureusement l’impression de ne m’avoir servi qu’un prétexte à faire des références aux fans avec cette histoire sans fin, m’a plus que déçu.

Honour to the Dead (couverture originale)

Honour to the Dead

Audio Drama : 75min
As Calth burns, the Battle Titans of the Fire Masters legion take to the streets of the city of Ithraca, ready to massacre the fleeing civilian population in the name of their new, dark masters. But the remaining loyalist engines of the Legio Praesagius — the True Messengers — still stand ready to defend the Imperium, even in the face of almost certain death. With the nearby Ultramarines forces scattered and lost, the people of Ithraca must fend for themselves as gigantic war machines unleash apocalyptic weaponry across the ravaged skyline.
3/5

Gav Thorpe a bien compris les enjeux d'un tel audio drama et nous offre une bonne occasion de retourner sur Calth alors que la bataille est loin d'être terminée et que les titans se battent dans une lutte sans merci. L'usage de plusieurs regards sur la violence du conflit est to...

Garro : Burden of Duty & Grey Angel (couverture originale)

Garro : Burden of Duty & Grey Angel

Audio Drama : 60 min
As the renegade forces of the Warmaster storm across the galaxy, a very different kind of war rages in the shadows of the Imperium – the Knights Errant, chosen of Malcador himself, move quietly in the dark places where others cannot. Battle-captain Nathaniel Garro makes his way to the Imperial Fists’ mighty starfort Phalanx, seeking out another kindred soul for his elite band of warriors. Meanwhile, on a distant world, former Luna Wolves undertake a mission to ascertain the true loyalties of a Space Marine Legion.
3/5

Ces deux Audio sont inégaux, que ce soit en termes de scenario ou de fluff. Les deux se complètent un peu, sans pour autant être fait dans ce but. Le premier nous donne une info sans plus d’approfondissement quand le second se permet plus de profondeur. Ces histoires sont donc amplement dispen...
