Worth it for Prophets of Waaagh alone!
The voice acting was as good as it gets in this bundle of short stories, you feel like you are there with the characters. 10/10

it was hard to follow. felt like it didnt know if it was a soap opera or a book. lots of sound effects and bouncing around. that said I can't fault the efforts that went in to the production.

Absolutely amazing
I don’t normally leave reviews but I was so blown away by this audiobook I felt I had no choice. This gives you an in depth look at some of the fallen hero’s of the great crusade and what happened to these figure later on.

I have recently started getting into death guard painting and lore. This was a very nice start to everything.
Would definitely recommend this to someone who enjoys death guards and short stories.

not great, not terrible
A good collection of stories unfortunately slightly ruined for me because of the incessant sound effects that have been overlayed on this, seems more like a radio soap opera than an audiobook.

mostly pretty good.
there's definitely some great stories in this. some standouts are the prophets of the waaagh, chosen of khorne, and heir of the laughing gods. the rest are either pretty good but I found perfection, kauyon and heart of decay to be a bit boring. overall it's pretty good and the performance definitely elevates these short stories.

enjoyed but can't stand Harlequins
enjoyed vast majority of those stories, Best one IMO is Necron one in terms of performance. Worst is about Eldar Harlequins, can't stand those in the game and in lore. Very well done overall.

This is a good bundle of stories
Overall, an excellent gathering of short stories by different races, performance, as always the voice actors of the behest of the black library are unrivaled, story, Many of the stories give vision into the deeper horror and callosity of the Warhammer 40,000 universe

phenominal. voice acting and sfx
The voice acting is next level. and the sound effects are a fantastic addition. This was my first audio book with both and it really pushes the immersion above and beyond. I can't recommend it enough.

Uneven, but overall great.
Some of the stories are positievly brilliant (the Harlequin and Emperor’s children), some less so (The Tau story with its time jumps - I had to listen to it twice to appreciate it), one is a mistake (Prophets of the Waaagh - what is this supposed to be? A comic strip read aloud? The performance is ace, but the story is completely lost).

Enter the xenos and chaos forces.
Time for a Waagh. Preform for the laughing god. skulls for the skull throne. The beauty of the plague. These stories are amazing and diverse.

Great Compilation of war in the 41st Millennium
Majority of the stories in this compilation are great! There’s a few mediocre ones in there but nothing to detract from the entire collection. A fun experience overall! I most enjoy the sound design they implement, very engaging!

Great Warhammer Collection
Check this out because of three reasons.
1. Quality stories that are eloquent, gory, and easy to follow.
2. Variety of stories using many of the factions of the Warhammer universe.
3. Great value for your $ or credits, over 10 stories, each ~1 hour.
