A small excerpt from the audio book Watchers of the Throne: The Emperor's Legion written by Chris Wraight and narrated by Gareth Armstong as Alexei Lev Tieron, chancellor of the Council of High Lords on Terra.

From the Warhammer wiki:
(...) Before Guilliman could move to make use of his new armies, the Chaos God Khorne took advantage of the Noctis Aeterna to launch a daemonic assault upon the Throneworld of Mankind, initiating the Battle of Lion's Gate.
Though Guilliman led the Imperial defenders, including the Sisters of Silence and the Adeptus Custodes, in throwing back the howling servants of the Blood God, the brazen assault shocked the High Lords of Terra to the core. They realized that in this new age, no world was safe from the Ruinous Powers and the other foes of Mankind.

Music:
Angels of Death End Credits (e07)
Which is a variation of: Glory of Terra, from the official Angels of Death soundtrack by Jonathan Hartman.
The Beast - Sicario Soundtrack by Jóhann Jóhannsson.
Terminator 2 Extended Theme from Gilles Nuytens.
And a compilation of overlapping Balrog sound effects from The Lord of the Rings Trilogy, which were added a few days later.
As 04:32 is my favorite sound effect, I was unsure whether to add the other ones as well. I often struggle to determine when something crosses the line into being excessive.
I removed the first upload, due to a very irritating crackle sound at exactly the wrong time, which only became audible in the final product. I then changed the final audio file to wav form in audacity, extracted it again, and that seems to have solved it.

The countless squeaks & cracks were unfortunately already in the core audio book mp3 file. I've tried to search for matching visuals, though most of them are of poor quality and I'm not a Warhammer Loremaster. 5:53 for example is a Grey Knight, not a Custodian.

At the moment RU-vid is preventing people from sharing externals links, unless they comply by sharing their physical appearance or an official identification. I will add them back if RU-vid ever reinstates my channel.
