Reasonable Marine Black Templar, what a rarity these days No Pity! No Remorse! No Fear!

Props for attempting to sing the anthem. Thanks for another fun story. Also, Khorne does not approve of not charging headlong into a prepared defense.

This was really good, I love reading 40K stories where good tactics and common sense prevail. Also I like the unspoken lesson that anger and rage will ultimately end up burning out and destroying itself

The duality of the two leaders is impeccable in this story. And the delivery of this made this impactful I love hearing these on my drive to and from work!

Cannot wait to listen to this tomorrow at work, thanks mate !!!!! Always dependable to get me through a work day.

Great stuff - the first really convincing portrayal I've heard in 40K of the effects of Khorne worship on men *without* transhuman augmentation and nails in their brains (and how to defeat them).

Black Templars are my favourite chapter, they're so crazy.

Let the Galaxy Burn was the book that got me back into WH40K after I stopped gaming a few years earlier. The early books by guys like Ian Watson, Ben Counter and William King really captured the nihilistic hopelessness of the setting where even being victorious was Pyrrhic. It's interesting how reasonable that BT Commander was before the Templar Codex fleshed out their fanatical modus operandi. Now that guy ironically enough would've wound up like Captain Titus for employing a Codex Astartes compliant battle plan that violated the Templar ethos.

Yes!!!! Years back I bought a second-hand copy of the book "Words of Blood" which was printed in 2002 and contains 11 short stories, and I can't wait for ABP to bring these stories to life with his wonderful reading voice. Praise the Emperor! Thank you, ABP!

Just found your channel like 2 months ago and I have been non stop listening to your work. Please keep up the good work.

This is why I like space wolves and blood Angel's. Grimnar started a war with the inquisition to save guardsmen after armageddon and dante has built his reputation on protecting mortals. I guess salamanders have the same reputation but I haven't read much on them.

"Sgt. Valerian scrambled low over the wall ofnthe temple to avoid detection." . . How in TF does a 9 foot tall, 800lb armored Transhuman Tank do stealth?

This is exactly what I wanted to see in my recommend not some soulless tasty cooking video but a man with a passion and a willingness to serve if fellow 40k fans even if he is a second some of noble from the empire

Nostalgia... must’ve been over ten years since I read this story... one of my favourites!

Black templars being killed by a mob of guardman with chunks of rock-crete?!? Lol

Thank you

Wait - normal people broke Astartes armor with hunks of concrete? That’s messed up.

How is 6000 men a army? Plus you’d think 30 marines could easily beat 6000 normal men

It boggles me sometimes about the inconsistencies in the space marines. Like, sometimes you can send 1 marine sgt to fight off an entire Dark Eldar raiding party of over 100 Drukari, and then here some las pistols and sabers cause wounds? Which is it?

I been waiting for this 4 over a month, i love that u have the balls to try voices, keep it up! If deamon world makes it hear i will say fuq it and donate! 😂

SKJALD. WHEN YOU BECOME A FAMOUS NARRATOR FOR MOVIES, REMEMBER MEEEEEEEEEEEEE......

As of the time of writing this, for the past week I've been greeting my friends and family with the lines, "The sky above has darkened," and, "Only through victory can we honor the Emperor and Mankind." I thought I'd come back to make a report. It hasn't gone well.

Blood for the blood god, skulls for the skull throne, carrots for the Sterling!

I gotta question, why didnt the templars bring heavy vehicles and stuff? To quicky destroy the Heretic?

“We have retreated in the face of the enemy, but there is no shame in that. For by doing so we have defeated them, the shame belongs to the man skinner, for throwing away his chance at victory by fighting alongside animals, not soldiers.” That resonates with me. I know everyone has had to trade honor for tactical advantage, it’s hard to back down from a fight. Even when you know you will be struck down, it’s death before dishonor. But when so much is at stake, it’s life before pride.

Now THATS a Space Marine story!

Loved the narrating, been listening to these stories from hours on end. However, this story as a portrayal of Black Templars seems very flawed, which kinda ruined it for me. The Black Templars don’t form codex compliant squads of tac, dev, and assault. They go for crusading squads of 4-20 man teams of both battle brothers and scouts, with different squads opting to use a combination of weapons and gear that suits that group’s style. They talk about returning to Terra frequently, despite the Templars not being from Terra, nor do they travel to it unless it’s because of a certain Age of Apostasy. The Templars are a space based chapter that only returns to reconquered worlds for new recruits. The Adeptus Terra have no sway over Astartes, and especially not to the Templars. The Templars dislike the administratum, and keep themselves distanced from it to hide various secrets such as total chapter strength. Reporting to them for complaints would never happen. The last point is that we can guess that the commander of this force is a Castellan, but space marines never call their superiors “sir”. They are a brotherhood, and would refer to their superiors sire, brother castellan, or even lord. This isn’t the guard, they don’t call their commanding officer “sir”. My takeaway from this short is that the writer is very talented at writing the guard, and space marines in general, but not the Black Templars. It feels to me as he wrote the story, and was told to change the chapter he already had in it to be a Black Templar and just shoehorned the Templar ideology without further reconsiderations.

this is what i've learned so far... Tactics are for amateurs, professionals learn to do the real stuff right, logistics, intelligence, discipline and training... supreme excellence is not in winning every single battle, supreme excellence is in winning without ever fighting a single battle... that's Sun Tzu for you brother... nice story... loved it...

Another great story, well read!

I think you do very good voice acting. Kudos. Is there any chance we could get you to do some gaunts ghosts?

Huh, who'd have thought that a bunch of mortals insanely zerg-rushing a group of disciplined, armed, near-indestructible super soldiers was a tactically unsound strategy?

Really enjoyed this audio. Thanks 👍👍👍

M A N...!!! This was a good one 👍🏼😎

Literally the fist Warhammer story I've read and which got me hooked..

Always love hearing about Renegade Guard

Damn how old is that book? Is this early 90s stuff,

I HEARD this story in 'Evy Metal colours

This is one of our favorites

Another great one. You managed to capture the feeling just right. Thanks man.

Man this one was so good.

Thanks man! Another great offering! Love the channel

4 000 cultists, to capture a planet... Huh =\

Yeah just realised my channel membership didn't work automatically. Had to get it to take money out manually. Sorry you're going to have to update your roll call again buddy.

Keep up the great content!.. i dont do warhammer or collect them but i love listening to these on a night brilliant stuff and btw are these just parts of a book or a full story

I will never understand power armour. One minute it withstands all, and the next it is broken by humans hitting it with rocks😵

Another great reading. Thanks!

I wanted more black Templar bad arseness from that. It was good but slightly disappointing, black templars are my favourite legion and I’m always left slightly disappointed by the books in which they appear.

Really enjoyed this audio. Thanks 👍👍👍

I had a hard time differentiating between the blood thirsty psychopaths and the Khornate cultists. XD

24:53 Holy shit, lol.

With Tactical and Assault Squads this story must be fairly old. Still quite a trip though.

Hehe do do stuff...🤭

Very good. Nice

See the black Templar’s do have devestators, and big ass knives 🔪

Thank you!

*Khornate horde has ragequit the game*

100

🤡🍻🍺

This was great. Thanks

It’s not a retreat. It’s a tactical withdrawal.

Fear the Alien pls?

This sounds like it was written by someone with very little idea about space marines or 40k in general

And they all lived happily ever after 🤣

SUNDAY FUNDAY! MOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAARRRR!!!!!!!

Awesome story!!!!
