"WAKING DOGS" || UNOFFICIAL WARHAMMER 40K AUDIO NARRATED BY A VOX IN THE VOID 

That was an awesome listen

Of all the traitors who deserved redemption, a regretful and angry war hound is one of the most glorious.

When I first got into 40k, I was drawn to Chaos by the idea of them representing some kind of “dual nature”. What soured me on Chaos was just how 1-dimensional it tends to be. I wanted to see the side of Khorne that I was promised, the side that despised sorcery as the last resort of weaklings, the side that valued the skulls of mighty opponents slain in worthy combat, the side that scorned base treachery and hungered for his champions to demonstrate their worthiness through their own capabilities. And far more often, I just found the same tired meme of BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD SKULLS FOR THE SKULL THRONE. Butchers are boring and predictable. But warriors…warriors can be so much more nuanced. So when I see a tale of a War Hound, awakening from millennia of unthinking slaughter and deciding to be reasonably angry about being sold a false bill of goods, I am *very* interested.

When you get so fucking angry your angry about being angry.

Reminds me of an old black crusade character I had. His name was Krack and he had an unfavourable meet up with a necron deathmark once, this encounter somehow still failed to kill him. Long story short, he became lucid, no brain fog from the nails anymore, no rage, no bloodlust or pain... just silence. Ended up working as a mercenary for a roguetrader later on. He was my only character who got a "happy end" like that.

Listening to Crixus slay the terminator makes me wonder how many World Eaters have come back from the influence of the Butcher's Nails and killed other World Eaters - Die like a warrior, while killing other traitors as a last act of absolution before being cut down. Most would be too far gone under the Nail's influence to care but it makes me think that maybe Crixus isn't the only one trying to right an old mistake. Great work always to Vox and the Author! ⚔️

He had put leashes on the warhounds and called them his world eaters.. then there was blood.. tides of it that carried them further and further from what they had been..

Naming one that rebelled after Crixus of the Spartacus rebellion is quite fitting

I love it when traitor marines are portrayed like this. As complex and more than pure berserkers. Not heroes by any stretch but it’s refreshing to see glimpses of the honor of a World Eater that’s still burning beneath the Butcher’s Nails and the blood lust.

The most tragic part is the fact that, without those GORGEOUS NAILS 💅... they would be The World HEALERS; Sons of a Primarch named EΜPATHYNGRØN!!!

Good on Crixus. He woke up. Redemption is his.

damn Crixus is old if his armor still has the old War Hound icon. good chance that he is Terran as well.

You’ve got a real recipe for successful but also unique content, brother. Your voice, story choice, and music selection is fantastic. Looking forward to going through the rest of your vox library.

Angron would be proud of this one, throwing off the shackles.

Loyalist World Eaters

Uhh... a world eater but instead of a kill counter the helmet pumps doom music at Max volume

Crixas is a man on one SERIOUS redemption arc 😂...

That was a nice short story to get the blood flowing

Very nice. I love the stories about astartes who turn against their traitorious legions and deny any act of dishonor... Just working on loyalist Emperors Children, Iron Warriors and others for a combined "still-loyalists"-army.

This is the story the big lore guys refer to when they speak on "if you could do ANYTHING to be closer to your Gene Father... wouldn't you‽‽‽"

I never thought I could be made to feel pity and sympathy for a World Eater. I will do penance now, Sigismund and Dorn forgive me.

I was in the 82nd ABN from ‘04-‘08 as an airborne infantryman. My friend used to regale me of tales of WH40K codices. Thank you! This takes me back. The sand never left my boots and it’s been 15 years.

Love it. At first I felt like Krixus' change of heart(s) was a bit abrupt, but after giving it some thought I quite like it. The World Eaters are impulsive and unpredictable by nature and that's not going to change no matter whether they're loyal or traitor, so a snap decision makes sense. I'm excited to see if the change is permanent though. I know the Gaunts Ghosts novels established the idea of "the armour of contempt" - that you can resist Chaos just by despising it enough - but to be able to reject Chaos AFTER having fallen and after 10,000 years of service to Khorne, in which most of that time was spent literally in the Warp... Well it would be pretty impressive. And it would open up a whole lot of very interesting possibilities. I know you're probably thinking the redemption of the Alpha Legion and the Thousand Sons, but consider what it might mean for the radical factions of the Inquisition - having proof that a person can immerse themselves in the power of Chaos then just choose to turn away from it would be a pretty convincing argument for allowing the use of Chaos as a weapon by the Imperium...

The more we learn about world eaters (or any devoted to Khorne), the more we feel sorry for them. Waiting the 2nd part today impatiently, it’s gonna be interesting. 😱😂

I'd like to imagine that somewhere, Khorne was looking down on this, shaking his head and whispering "whoops."

Possible ways towards redemption World eaters: freedom Emperor's children: restraint Death guard: hope Thousand sons: humility

The thumbnail looks like "OMG!!!! Chainsaw hands?!?!? Thank you, Dad-Emperor! So cool..." lol...

That was sooo awesome!!! I love the concept of a traitor world eater realising his folly after waking from his long entranced slavery from the nails and using there curse to exact his revenge. Hope we get s follow up.🤞🤞🤞 🙌🙌🙌

This world eater kicks ass

Who else would LOVE to see some of these stories turned into episodes of Hammer and Bolter?

oh boy, when the doom music kicks in

This is how u tell a story 10 out of 10 Everything was FLAWLESS

Nice! Finally a World Eater who has come to his senses

World Eaters are really cool. One of my favorite traitor legions. Kharn, and whoever that WE is in the novel Furious Abyss (forgot his name), are especially great. When World Eaters, even shortly after Nails implantation, fight, you can see the honor behind the frenzied insanity. I personally can pretty easily figure out what the Emperor was trying to do with the War Hounds, most likely something like the Vylka Fenrika (sp., sorry), but without the spontaneous lycanthropy. The loss of the World Eaters' honour, and for favour with a primarch who 1) considered himself a dead man walking after he'd been prevented from committing suicide by massed arms fire, and 2) had no goddamn clue how to implement any tactics above the complexity of a fire team, and besides didn't think such things were worthy of his attentions, is just some extra awful on top of this five course banquet of horrible. Not even talking about the mass implantation of the Nails, which is even sadder.

Shout out to everyone that uses this channel as a Bedtime story channel, I love it!

The djent is a liller addition. Really sells it. I often listen to Bolt Thrower when I paint.

_And another voice_ _says you got a choice_ _The _*_Hammer_*_ or the Nail_

Absolutely amazing narration. It was actually perfect. O my god. Black library. Must pay hommage.

The most metal thing I've hear in a long while

I've listened to almost all your vids, but this is my favourite. The music, the screams (can't have them enough), action and story. Magnum opus brother

I've lost count of how many times I've listened to this excellent story and suburb narration and I have to say even though I absolutely despise Angron for turning on the emperor I still love the world eaters and can truly sympathize with them as I suffer from explosive rage syndrome and there are no words to describe what it feels like to be fully consumed with all encompassing rage.. I can truly think of no worse fate then having to live in perpetual and unceasing rage for eternity.

This is my favorite one out of all of them. I listen to it at least once a day only to end up rewinding it like 8 times

Oh you just made a brilliant observation Angron who preached about freedom from slavery and yet proceeded to chain his sons the same way he was with those blasted butchers nails.

Crixus no doubt drew the appreciation of both the Emperor and Khorne at the same time. The Emperor appreciating the death of a warband and the prospect of Crixus somehow by some miracle eliminating Angron. Khorne does just like the blood and skulls but also appreciates testing his followers and even defeating his followers if they aren't strong enough. Has there ever been another individual to gain the eye of the Big E and a Kaos "diety" at the same time? Incredible story telling 👍

The thought of some War Hounds set in a quest for vengeance and honor, struggling against the slaving impulses of the Nails, is giving me goosebumps.

This guy reminds me of the son of a woodsman. Deserving of redemption.

I like the hell out of crixus.. hate that this character is fan made. I kinda wanna know what he's murdering now.. his cousins and sht obviously but I want to hear about it... If there's a part two you gotta do it man. This was so dope I listened an commented twice In one setting.. as always..👍

You've quickly risen to one of my favorite RU-vid channels.

If you think about it he kinda became like the slayers or whatever from fantasy. Killing a bunch of progressivly more powerful opponents until one day they kill you. Just a funny thought Edit: video was also really good

This was big one. I bet no one would have thought that 12s are capable of overthink their nature and current state of their existance. Great story, Neal. Perfect adaptation, Vox)

I keep coming back to this one. This is my favorite though im really looking forward to the rest of the "Black Ship Comes".

I keep coming back to this story, love it!

You gotta finish crixus’s story I gotta find out what happens

Hay man, I’m a big audio book guy, and I just have to say you put out the best stuff I listen to. I binge listen at work

Love a good world eaters redemption story, I've listened to this at least 6 times now.

*Thud* 1034 *Thud* 1035.... the counter on my youtube account slipped to the upper number as I hit replay yet another time! Yet it is still there, for one who knows where to see it !

Oh man i have just enough time to go get a beer!

Everything about this story is so damn near perfect. The way it's written, the way it's read, sound effects, background music all go so well together. I've listened to this video so many times I can almost remember every word spoken in it. This vid even somehow manages to help me get through times in life by the raw emotion I get when listening and connecting to it. Sorry I'm not trying to be weird I just really fucking feel that the people who put the effort in this be made aware of how much talent they have. Also I'm a little tipsy right now which sometimes causes me to get a little more emotional and dramatic than usual.

I wonder what it would take for one of my pieces to be read like this..... Great job, to the author and you! This was great!

How is this channel only at 10k subscribers?? That is shocking.

Awesome job man but honestly it makes me really yearn for a series about a World eater turning loyalist and then going on an endless crusade to mercilessly butcher all other world eaters he can find in the galaxy even though he knows he can never truly be redeemed or freed from the nightmarish embrace of the butchers nails...

Great gym motivation 💪

God fucking damn man

I love a good story of an anit-hero. This could become a great book.

Vox always finds the best music

So from what I understand from this story, a world eater, turned agaisnt his own brothers/forces because he felt it was wrong? I knew they killed anything that came in their line of sight or just for the sake of khorne, but I never heard of anything like this.

I love the World Eaters stories so much

That was awesome! Your choice of music in these videos is always top-notch! Only a matter of time before you get to 40,000 subscribers!

Remember me when you are famous, Vox! :D

The voice acting is on point....just by listining,...i can feel the battle...the Grimm dark , and all the Details that makes w40k so special.....pls keep on creating These audios....masterpieces.....and in time your Chanel will get big

yes YES YYYYYEEESSSSSSS this is what i needed to start my sunday work slog off right

Found you through The Amber King, and my word are your videos great to listen to.

That, kicked arse. Loved it.

Always good to see a follower of Chaos finally see the light

That was intense,beautifully intense!!

Educational video excellent and wholesome

I wonder how the warhounds would have turned if big E had helped angron.

Starts with "Crixus!" Ya I am going to love it

Amazing choice for the background music really drives home the out of control horror of the nails.

For the algorithm... Let the subscriptions flow...

This is one of my fave channels for cool audio drama

AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAHHHHHHJHHHHHHH,! , !!!

ah yes. Can't wait to listen to some World Eaters when I'm cosying up in bed after midnight^^

Love it!!! Blood! For the blood GOD!!!!!!

This is absolutely insane, I love it

You need to email Baldemort, he and you would make an awesome duo

Absolutely lovely. Reccomended it to the other 2 dudes i know who are into warhammer.

Holy shit the descriptions are so detailed

Masterpiece easily and it brings up such a really cool concept

Holy wow!!! This was AWESOME!!! Hope there's more to this! This concept of a demi-loyalist World Eater is something GW should really explore! And your narration gave it a magnificent highlight! Lovely soundtrack, may I have the source for it? Sorry I missed the live. Was asleep.

I like that he slipped a mini shout oit to sigismund

Instant favorite

This was a very nice to listen to lol, if you can find one about the Legion of the Damned to listen to, that be great. Overall this was very exceptional

I subscribed in the first 5 seconds of hearing this! Absolute spot on narration it genuinely put my imagination into overdrive 😁

I enjoyed this one, not quite as much as the first World Eaters vid (something about the way you narrated that one really stuck with me) but still a good story (the author's other work - Almost - was also great). I'd just also like to say that I'm so glad you find such good-quality fan-fics to narrate. Don't get me wrong, I don't mind you reading old fluff pieces, but it seems like you do your best work with your fan-fic vids. Finding decent 40k fanfiction can be so frustrating at times and its nice to see a channel willing to host fanfic content and that its legit top-tier content. Keep it up and may your channel prosper!

Interesting. And there I thought I'd dislike the World Eaters.

This is absolutely fantastic to hear of such a violent old warrior to see his path and through process shows the true insanity of the firstborn in some cases amazing work Vox! Also nothing other than “vox” we can call you?

My type of music (I used to play this kind of music in a band several years ago) and my kind of story. Hell yeah. Well done mr. Vox, one of my favorite so far.

Wow, I loved this! Every single one of your videos is a delicious treat.

Great story, it really helped portray the World Eaters relationship with their father. Also loved the descriptiveness of it, how their armor was damaged, or stained with ash and blood. Really helps you picture that the World Eaters are exactly that, the eaters of worlds, bringing only destruction and carnage in their wake. The music was also a very nice and welcomed touch, it makes the action scenes a lot more exciting. I don't know if you've been asked this before (wouldn't be surprised), but whats your favorite legion? Apart of me is guessing the World Eaters due to your musical past. The World Eaters are second place for me after the Iron Warriors. Keep up the great work!
