About this listen

A Warhammer 40,000 Audio Drama Collection

The Dark Angels and Blood Angels are two of the most influential Chapters of the first founding, and their successors have carried on the traditions - and flaws - that make them interesting. This collection of audio dramas shines a light on the Angels of Death.

Listen to it because: packed with slaughter and swordplay, these audio dramas, written by Black Library authors including Gav Thorpe, James Swallow, Ben Counter and more, offer fresh insight into two of the Imperium's most beloved fighting forces.

I was really pleased with this collection of audio dramas, but the majority of them follow a group of Flesh Tearers, led by their chapter master Gabriel Seth. Though these stories were good, and well written, I was hoping for a bit more diversity, instead of following these same people.
*Spoiler Alert* Though the one story about the Dark Angels, Malediction, did portray them very well: noble enough to kneel before a Guardsman, and even show emotion when he figured that he was dying. But when he figured out that he helped one of the Fallen, executing him on the spot.
Overall. I enjoyed this book, and would recommend buying it.

More Blood Angels than Dark Angels

Loved EVERYTHING about these stories. The plots are incredible and the voice actors are top notch. I’ll be listening to this again and again.

Great Action and Gore

The stories are great and well preformed. They actually make the Dark Angels a chapter worth supporting for once. Major nitpick is that a lot of the Blood Angels stories were on other bundles. Like the Flesh terror collection and Space Marines shorts as well. Worth a read for the Dark Angels one alone.

Good for Dark Angels, not so much Blood Angels.

for being named angels of darkness and blood why did GW put the flesh tearer stories first then the dark angels. shouldn't it have been the other way around? small gripe, overall well worth a credit.

Good stories and execution but a small gripe

This was literally the best use of a credit. Too much Flesh Tearers needs more Dark Angels.

Really good

The Blood Angels half of the collection isn’t actually Blood Angels (with a small exception), it’s Flesh Tearers. The Dark Angels half is… interesting, and I probably wouldn’t recommend this to someone unfamiliar with either Chapter.

I very much enjoyed the voice performances of the narrators and voice actors (some of whom anyone who’s gone through other 40k audiobooks will recognize) regardless of the short story being read. The only slight annoyance I have is the way some characters’ names are pronounced, the worst being Master Belial (it’s Bel-i-all, not Belly-all).

All on all, if you like either Chapter, this collection of audio dramas is very good. 8/10 for mispronunciation of names and for being a tad oversaturated with the Flesh Tearers instead of Blood Angels.

Awesome

I bought this to get snippets of lore/action for the dark angels half of the stories. And I gotta say, the narration is so uninspired and boring at times. Certain few of the audio dramas (Malediction) barely even have the space marines in them. It’s all tangential stories about Imperial Guard, Demons, or other stuff with a bit of Dark Angels sprinkled in here and there. Not impressed.

Honestly, really boring.

normally I like stories about Primarchs or space marines. But, something about these ones just kinda dragged. A lot of them had the same plot of one Blood Angel getting stuck against one World Eater in a fight to the death. If you like that, you should get this. But, I wasn't a fan.
