Visitor13 Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 The reviews seem to be favourable, but I'd like another opinion or two before a purchase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lepaca Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 I didn't care for it too much. But then again I'm not that big on audio books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crimsonhand Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 Where as... you listen to Chosen of Khorne and if you WERENT thinking about doing a World Eater army, you start... If you are thinking about doing Emperor's Children and listen to this, you may throw them in the trash. Very poor IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eastern barbarian Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 I wasn't impressed. But then I didn't pay for it :huh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kol Saresk Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 I actually liked this one. It's not your traditional Slaanesh "I just want to feel!", which to me is a plus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenebris Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 I listened to the audiodrama today and it was a nice addition to my free time spent painting some miniatures. I liked how the EC are still courteous and graceful, still set in their ways, set to reach the goal of perfection, what I disliked was that the audiodrama failed to present them as proper astartes warriors. Indeed they fight with grace, shrug pain off and are the cold methodical killers but bar the swordplay parts the chaos marines were little better than the average Slaneeshi cultist.  The novel has some nice tokens for EC fans but overall the plot is rushed, not clear and in some parts too blunt. It is what it is, a small audio novel but unlike many others from the BL forge in this novel it seemed to me that the author was not exactly clear what he wished to achieve. An intro on the forces fighting in the battle would be welcome too.  Rating: 4/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minigun762 Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Hopefully they make a written version of it one day, I've still not gotten to the point of listening to one of these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daboarder Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 I loved it, thought its was fantastic really, starting a slaaneshi army with my left over marines because of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sven Dragonfire Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 The War band of elderly actor " luvvies". Very disapointed with the acting on this audio drama. I actually switched it off before the end ( first time ever) because i found it so irritating. Could have been awesome, story was ok. As a huge fan of Slannesh felt it let the side down big time.

Capt_Darius Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 I actually liked this one. It's not your traditional Slaanesh "I just want to feel!", which to me is a plus. Yeah, it was "I just want to be perfect". They went a bit overboard describing the violence, with very little in the form of character development. I would have preferred it to be a warband with more than 5 marines in it, though the chaos apothecary was interesting. Â Honestly, it reminded me of an audio version of the movie "Ultramarine", which was horrible outside the rather slaaneshi suggestion that the Chaplain go "sniff taint".

Kol Saresk Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 As I recall, the entire Emperor's Children Legion fell to Chaos because of "I want to be perfect." Besides, we all each have our individual tastes and preferences. Me, unless it really sucks like Deliverance Lost, I'll either tolerate, like or love it.

Capt_Darius Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 As I recall, the entire Emperor's Children Legion fell to Chaos because of "I want to be perfect." Besides, we all each have our individual tastes and preferences. Me, unless it really sucks like Deliverance Lost, I'll either tolerate, like or love it. Some wanted perfection, some wanted to feel, some just wanted to watch the universe burn. But this story was pretty much just overly-described fight scenes and "blargh, this is perfection. You're not perfect, so why haven't you killed yourself?" Not to mention one of the main characters has a daemon-possessed gauntlet that turns him into Two-Face, named "The Butcher" which wields a chain axe and occasionally takes control and goes into a murderous berzherker fury that sounds very Khornate for someone with the mark of Slaanesh.
