Summary

A Warhammer 40,000 audio drama collection.

The Imperial Guard represent the very best of mankind - its indomitable spirit, ordinary men and women refusing to give up in the face of all the horrors of the galaxy. 

Listen to it because: In this collection, you'll discover seven tales of the heroes of the Astra Militarum, from stalwart Elysian Sergeant Zachariah to the larger-than-life Commissar Cain.

The story: Across the war-torn galaxy, the Imperial Guard are a bastion against the enemies of mankind. From the elite veteran drop troops of Elysia to the fierce Catachan jungle fighters and from Valhalla's ice warriors to the crews of mighty battle tanks, the many regiments of the Astra Militarum defend the Emperor's realm against all who would tear it asunder. This audio drama anthology contains seven tales of the brave soldiers of the Astra Militarum. A three-part story delves into intrigue surrounding Sergeant Zachariah of Elysia as he faces traitors. Two outrageous adventures of the infamous Commissar Ciaphas Cain, Hero of the Imperium, take him and his warriors into danger after danger. A tank crew faces terror in real time, and Catachan Colonel Straken faces cultists on a jungle world.

Too dramatic

This is the second full cast audiobook in this series I have listened to and I really don’t enjoy them, as good as the cast is they over power the story and I can’t engage with what is being told

Great collection of audio dramas my favourite would have to be Titans Bane or Waiting for death but there are no duds in this collection.

Best in the series

Chapter 6 & 7 are worth listening to over and over.
Dark underlining humour and brilliant acting. The action is spot on!

Awesome voice acting and sound effects!

Unlike normal audiobooks, this one is performed by various voice actors, each portraying a different character and great sound effects to set the atmosphere. Unlike some audio dramas, there is narration in addition to dialogue and audio cues.

How on earth did they manage this?

This audio book is so excellent if feels like you are watching a movie but not really, more like listening to it. Everything from sounds of props to the voice actors are movie grade. Awesome. They went through so much effort. It's amazing. Also the stories are very engaging and fun for a Warhammer fan. I so wish this was an actual movie and I could see everything that is going on but it's not all bad considering that the narrator describes all that is going on. Do not skip this!

Great story

Story was great
Voice acting amazing
Sound effects great
Would have liked more hours for the price if had bought in cash instead of credits. Other than that this is amazing.

Superb

Superb, especially Titan's bane. Great for a short story, would have happily listened to a full book on this premise.
