I'm just going to say it, this story was awesomely angsty.... I've been thinking of watching a teen film the past day or two and this satisfied that desire... loved the break for laughter in it hsha I said out loud "I think we are all losing focus" "Or atleast adjusting focus to what really matters" followed by more laughter on my part

You know, I think it's refreshing to hear a 40k story that isn't as sterile as the more modern material. And I don't think anyone can fault you for cracking up at the "doves" and "holes" part.
I want to take a second to thank you. I deal with chronic pain and for some reason listening to your long form videos is enough to put me to sleep. I do go back and listen to what I missed, but I'm happy to have it to hear.
Always love coming back to this just to listen to you break at the "soft ring." What gets me is immediately after that he says he's not sure what shape it is. Even though he just said lol.
Love this one. The stories where it's a bit more gritty and perverse are where it's at. Its supposed to be grim dark. The newer stuff can be a bit clinical. Thanks man
man, silly descriptions and creepy lines aside, this story was actually pretty damn cool, the concept is interesting and the robot was very disturbing and threatening. If it wasn't so gross I'd say this is some top notch grimdark
Take out the 'robot' part, and replace it with any other character, from any other Ian's books, and lo, your comment still perfectly describes any of them 🤭👌
Weird slaanesh stuff aside, this was a great story. The antagonist was actually a really cool concept, enjoyed that last section thoroughly. Made even better by your epic narration!
Aha! Looking up something on Lexicanium now, I found that this is the story where Grimm the Squat technician (before becoming part of Inquisitor Draco's retinue) in the original print (1990) was edited into Grill the Techpriest in this second publishing (2001)... because the canonicity of squats was in limbo around that time, they had not been seen* since the Titan Legions edition of epic, I think 1995 or so, and didn't make it into 3rd edition 40K. This explains Grill's fairly uncharacteristic, for a tech-priest, behavior, being so emotional... even by RT standards of writing, where much of the lore had yet to be established and writers had fairly loose reins, he seems a bit odd. The inhumanity and detached cold logic of the martian priesthood had already been set by then. * Think they had a semi-official armylist in Citadel Journal, but they were not in the main rules like the other armies in the 1997 Epic 40K edition, foreshadowing them being dropped by 1998.
The weirdest part for me was how the space marine chapter was letting a fucking inquisitor basically run them. Or how this inquisitor made them take ogryns with tusks as fellow troops. Space marines taking non-space marines into their formations? LOL. A chapter master letting an Inquisitor structure his chapter? This is fucking weird. The inquisitor would be dead the moment he stole a chaplain's robes. Unthinkable.
I know it can break the immersion of the story BUT, I love your school boy chuckle at the more "slanneshly" type references. Keep the stories coming, they're great 😉
Yeah....these are the ones I remember reading. I eventually stopped because they were so weird. Thank god for Dan Abnett truly establishing the 40k Universe with Eisenhorn.
Gotta love the inquisition to even ponder the idea of sentencing 2 planets to death by bombardment and starvation all with one goal to eliminate a single person.
I remember reading this as a lad, the Inquisitor series of books as well.. Great to hear it read by my favorite online fiction reader! Great reading, what a scary prospect for Johnny though Lol - description always made me chuckle. Yes, early 90's I think it was, remember were the first ever books. LOVED them then, great to re-visit it!
About the sound proofing , sounds weird but just a layer of the square eggboxes or pallettes , with a layer of Matt paint causes the sound to be broken down into many tiny parts enveloped by egg cone holes and breaks the sound down a near hundred percent comparatively
I thought it was a pretty good story. A bit of a happy ending for 40K but still entertaining. I love that fact that you don't hide your own reactions. We bust out laughing sometimes too. Cheers Prince!
This was great! Deathwing was the first 40K book I got when there was only a couple out! This brings the feelz! Please do some of the others if you get the time and wish to do so! /subbed.
I thought you did a splendid job. This was such an interesting story. Is there more of these characters? Also what microphones (make/model) do you use? Thanks again!
I'm just waiting for a really ronchy short story writer come by and be hired by gw, like most of it is gore and I don't think anyone needs anything too crazy or messed up, but the theme for Slanesh is sorta similar in most books. This one was incredibly...unique
