A Space Marines Audio Drama Collection

Space Marines can be found fighting hundreds of wars across every sector of the Imperium - they are the will of the emperor made manifest. These audio dramas will bring you into their battles as never before, as bolt shells and chainswords lay waste to any who would stand against them.

Listen to it because...this collection of audio dramas from Black Library authors including Nick Kyne, Josh Reynolds and more, weaves tales of fan-favourite and lesser-known Space Marine Chapters, providing new insight into the Imperium's Angels of Death, how they think, and how they fight.

WWWOOOOO!!!

All I have to say is 17 hours of killing taking out xenos and traitors alike.🤘😉🖤

Distracting sound effects

I actually like this collection of stories. Unfortunately, this collection uses a lot of sound effects and they are all louder than the voice actors performance. You cannot make out what is being narrated over the alarm klaxons or gun fire, etc…

The audio mix channel volume ruined this audio book. Suggestion to publisher. Make sure the sound effects are quieter than the whispering narrator.

Add Some Color to Your Warhammer Knowledge

This is my first big step into the lore behind the game Warhammer 40k. Listening to this book was a joy that inspired my imagination and sparked ideas for the hobby that I enjoy.

The Tranzian rebellion steals the show

This anthology is a must have for any Warhammer fan! So many stories and top tier voice acting. The last story will blow you away! Definitely recommend!

Word of advice Black Library on sound effects

First of all, I enjoy the audio drama style. I can understand why some would think it can take away from the book overall. I would recommend those individuals listen to the audiobook then listen to the audio drama version for a more in depth experience.

Here is my only real complaint for the sound effects:
I do not like how the automatic bolter fire sounds like a pellet gun or old automatic paintball gun. The bolter is supposed to be a large caliber gun. Go record a Browning .50 cal on full automatic fire for the bolter. That’s it. Make it more bad @$$!💥💥

Not a fan of the radio drama format

This was going great until the final story. They should have meshed the radio drama into a single story. The constant breaks took me out of the story and killed the enjoyment and flow. This flaw took 1 star away from Overall and Performance along with 2 stars on the Story.

Over produced

I do not know if it is the narrators or the producers for these short stories but it is hard to listen to. The music is not leveled properly to the voices, the sound effects are not subtle and leveled properly, the male voices are to hard to distinguish. One space marine talking to another sounds like the same character, then chaos characters in the same 2 to 3 minutes sound just like the space marines. Every warrior type male sounds like what you would expect an orc to sound like with slight distortion. The stories are the only thing that this has going for it. They used entirely to much computer voice alteration software that made it a mess. Just way to many post production issues. If you like listening to old video game cut scenes this is it in long form.

Jacked up audio

Something is wrong with the audio as it has a robotic sound during the reading. Volume drops to a almost whisper then jumps back up to normal.
