hopkins Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 available at warhammer fest! john french + horus = warmaster audio on steroids? got high hopes for this one http://www.blacklibrary.com/coming-soon/july/dark-compliance.html http://www.blacklibrary.com/Images/Product/DefaultBL/large/BLPROCESSED-Dark-Compliance-Audio.jpg For more than two hundred years, the armies of the Emperor of Mankind fought to reconquer the galaxy – led by the superhuman primarchs, the Space Marine Legions brought countless worlds back under the rule of ancient Terra. Now Horus, once honoured Warmaster and favoured son of the Emperor, has been corrupted by the whispered promises of Chaos. At his command the Imperium is torn apart by a terrible and bloody civil war, the likes of which the galaxy has never seen... As Horus’s rebellion gains momentum, more and more worlds flock to his banner. For some, it is through fear of annihilation; for others, it is out of malicious desire. Any that consider resistance are given one chance to swear fealty. To do anything other is to court disaster and worse. Accazzar-Beta is one such defier, but in bringing this heavily-fortified Mechanicum world to heel, just how far is the Warmaster willing to go and what truly is the meaning of a dark compliance? As two fleets engage across the gulf of the void, Accazzar-Beta will find out.

Marshal Loss Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Very excited for this. I bought and downloaded Warmaster on a whim (generally disliking audio books), and it was really good - not to mention that in the last few years, French has been on fire. I eagerly await his latest take on Horus. apologist 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/333760-hh-dark-compliance/#findComment-4747278 Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeritorA Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Would have been glad - cause I will definitely listen to it, but for me it's better would have been a full novel, instead of audio, which I will finish in 40 minutes Yes - it would be awesome 40 minutes. But 40 minutes ran out soooo quickly Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/333760-hh-dark-compliance/#findComment-4747438 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jareddm Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Please give me a book version too every story, in every format, eventually Except trade paperbacks But no, I'm super excited for any story that gives a glimpse of the larger movements of Warmaster's fleets.

But 40 minutes ran out soooo quickly CDs are typically 70+ minutes. I don't think BL has ever released a standalone CD with only 40 minutes of content. Or are you listening on 1.5x to make it more efficient?

bluntblade Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 Slightly disappointed that Horus isn't rocking the black hole eyes he had in PoH. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/333760-hh-dark-compliance/#findComment-4750607 Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkChaplain Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 I'm so happy that Ramon Tikaram is back as Horus. He made the character work magnificently last time. For some reason he gets those larger-than-life characters, including Nagash.

JH79 Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 Agreed, his performance in Warmaster was probably one of his best for Black Library, although he didn't quite achieve the same feel when he reprised the role of Horus in The Either... though with only one or two lines of dialogue that is somewhat understandable.

HeritorA Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 Finished listening to that amazing audio. Splendid work by the author and voiceover team. Nothing 'major' or exceptional has happened. But it is strangely amazing > the main point of all story is that Horus doesn't care anymore about anything except victory over his 'father'. That is not Lupercal of Horus Rising or even Horus of Istvaan 5. Tis a cunning monster who will sell the life of millions to see the job done. But previous Horus would do that for some 'greater' purpose. Here we have Horus who will sell the lifes of his servant cheap. Ramon Tikaram is a God in Horus voiceover. Definitely need to listen to that audio. That's one of best HH audios in a long while.

I picked up The Binary Succession a month or so ago and was completely blown away with the story and sound design / acting. Sounds like Dark Compliance follows that trend, cannot wait for release date on this little doosie!

And Tikaram as Horus is GODLIKE! Argonis by the way is shown post Tallarn events (he redeemed himself).
