Assassinorum : The Emperor's Judgement (couverture originale)

Assassinorum : The Emperor's Judgement

On the world of Tevrat, Callidus Assassin Klara Rhasc stalks her prey, awaiting the moment to strike. But when her mark is murdered by a crazed Eversor Assassin, Rhasc embarks on a new kind of mission: to find and subdue her fellow operative. Following in his footsteps, Rhasc tries to think like the Eversor, but faces a new kind of danger – if she uses her chameleonic abilities to emulate the drug-fuelled killer, she risks losing herself and becoming like him. The hunt is on.
The Shadowmasters (couverture originale)

The Shadowmasters

Audio Drama : 13 min
The Mor Deythan stand apart from their brothers of the Raven Guard Legion – indeed, there are many who would claim that they do not even exist. Blessed with the same powers of stealth and subterfuge as their primarch Corax, the self-styled Shadowmasters may slip through any battlefield, unseen and unheard, until they are ready to strike. Now, as the Legion mounts its attack on the forge-temples of Atlas, Brother-Sergeant Chamell leads his warriors on a vital, clandestine mission to strike at the enemy’s heart…
0.5/5

Entre un rythme plat, des personnages sans développement, une action mal mise en scène, et une ambiance sonore d'une absolue pauvreté, il sera impossible de reconnaître une quelconque qualité à Shadowmasters. Cet audio drama devrait appliquer la même stratégie que ses héros et rester dans...

Raptor (couverture originale)

Raptor

Audio Drama : 70 min
After the decimation of his Legion on the killing fields of Isstvan V, the primarch Corax sanctioned an accelerated implantation process to create new Raven Guard – a process subverted in secret by his enemies. But in spite of their horrendous mutations, the warriors of the Raptors still stand ready to do their primarch’s bidding. When a watch-pack of Space Wolves legionaries arrives unannounced, it falls to Lieutenant Navar Hef to greet their warlike kinsmen and decide whether or not they might be hiding flaws of their own.
2/5

Raptor traite du sujet de manière très superficielle et l'on aurait pu facilement avoir la même histoire en inter-changeant la Raven Guard avec des Ultramarines. Ajoutez à cela Heavy Entertainment qui standardise son travail enlevant la plus petite once de personnalité à l’œuvre. Si vous ...

Garro : Ashes of Featly (couverture originale)

Garro : Ashes of Featly

Audio Drama : 18 min
After bringing warning of Horus’s treachery to Terra, Nathaniel Garro bade a solemn farewell to his Death Guard brethren and was set upon a more noble path than he ever could have imagined for himself. Now, an old comrade returns — Meric Voyen, once an Apothecary of the XIVth Legion, carrying a deadly cargo within the boundaries of the Solar System. Knowing only too well that to underestimate the powers of the warp is to fall prey to their corrupting influence, Garro must decide if any good can come of Voyen’s mission... and whether or not it is already too late to act against it.
Iron Corpses (couverture originale)

Iron Corpses

Audio Drama : 39 min
The ravaged world of Tallarn plays host to the greatest armoured conflict in the history of mankind. The bitter and vengeful Iron Warriors led entire divisions of tanks and war machines across the befouled plains, until the macro-transporter Eagle’s Talon plunged to the surface and ended a million lives in a heartbeat. Stranded upon some unnamed, toxic battlefield that now resembles nothing more than a graveyard of Titans, Warsmith Koparnos knows that he has precious little time left – will he find salvation amidst the dead god-machines, or quickly succumb to violent madness?
2.5/5

Il est difficile de faire suite à un excellent et dynamique radio play avec un audio drama ne mettant en scène qu'un seul personnage. Bien que je comprenne le contexte de cet audio drama, un format nouvelle aurait probablement était plus approprié.

The Eagle's Talon (couverture originale)

The Eagle's Talon

Audio Drama : 39 min
The ravaged world of Tallarn now plays host to the greatest armoured conflict in the history of mankind, with the bitter and vengeful Iron Warriors leading warhosts of tanks and Titans across the befouled plains. In desperation, a covert team of Imperial Fists resort to seemingly unthinkable measures in order to regain the upper hand — but will their mission to seize the macro-transporter Eagle's Talon ensure victory, or merely spell doom for their loyal allies on the surface below?
4.5/5

Avec Eagle's Talon on sait maintenant à quoi ressemble un radio play réussit et comment le concept peut être utilisé à son avantage. Plus qu'une véritable réussite il s'impose comme un modèle pour l'avenir.

Fabius Bile : Repairer of Ruin (couverture originale)

Fabius Bile : Repairer of Ruin

Lupercalia burns, the might of the Traitor Legions reducing the last redoubt of the Sons of Horus to rubble. And through the ruins strides Apothecary Fabius of the Emperor’s Children, with an army of vile genetic experiments. But what does the twisted Apothecary want in the temple to the fallen primarch Horus? And will he find it?
4.5/5

L'audio Fabius Bile : Repairer of Ruin n'aurait même pas été une publicité mensongère avec un sous-titre comme "Bienvenue en enfer" tellement l'horreur qu'il nous décrit est surréelle. Cet audio drama sera une très bonne surprise pour qui voudra bien prendre le ri...

The Watcher (couverture originale)

The Watcher

Audio Drama : 20 min
A shuttle returns to the Solar System bearing the sole survivor of a traitor attack – however, delirious and so close to death, his tale remains untold. Ison of the Knights Errant, formerly a Librarian of his Legion, delves into the mind of the warrior, and the truth of it will chill him to the core.
3.5/5

The Watcher est un court audio drama sympa qui semble n'être qu'une partie d'un tout plus grand, comme un chapitre dans un roman. Finalement ce genre de format tease beaucoup mais ne se concrétise que rarement. Ce dernier n'échappe pas à la règle. Si vous avez l'occasi...
