The current stars of the 40K show make their earlier mark here, a great set of jaws swallowing the galaxy from beneath. Interesting to note that so much of the current storyline is being pulled from this far back, with heavy emphasis being placed on the Octavius sector here as well. It was the setting at the launch of the most recent edition of Kill Team and a major one in ninth edition 40K, with it's own secondary objective: retrieve octavius data.
Like my readings of GW literature? Why not do me a favour and post on the Black Library Facebook page and tell them you want me to narrate one of their audiobooks? That would make my week to be honest.

Once more duty calls me to try and narrate a graphic as spoken word. I apologise in advance - I tried my best to make it at least somewhat understandable while not altering it beyond what isn't in the original codex.

The Ultramarines are mostly Roman-themed (from modern-day Italy) and Chaplain Ortan Cassius has a mostly knackered face, so that's where I was going with that voice.
Interesting they're bringing the norn queens more heavily into the lore these days, but not...the dominatrixes 🤔

Greetings, listeners.
A key component of the Warhammer 40,000 universe, and indeed the grimdark genre it spawned, is horror. As a massive fan of Warhammer 40,000 (obviously) and the horror genre, and given that it's Halloween, I couldn't resist spinning a scary story myself. So often the focus of horror in 40K fiction is, justifiably, the Warp and its spawn. Part of this story comes from a desire to add a little weight to another end of the balance.
A large part of the inspiration for this story came from the song Virtuous Tragedy by the brilliant musician Aram Zero. I love their music and this is my favourite. As I sat in front of Google Docs, I put this song on repeat and let its power overwhelm me. It's this overwhelming power, a sense of something awe-inspiring yet terrifying, which dictated what I typed. I reached out to Aram and they very kindly have allowed me to use their track in this Halloween special. I'm grateful Aram let this episode to come full circle and include the very music that inspired it.
You can find Aram Zero's YouTube channel here, and from there, their other links: www.youtube.com/@AramZero
I very much hope you enjoy this scary special and wish you a very happy Halloween.
