solid radio drama for the craftworld eldar

this self-contained radio drama has good sound effects and decent acting. worthwhile and fun, it can be a little predictable but it's a solid adventure. at times the sound effects are a bit rough on the voices.

Fantastic, Though Brief

I would honestly listen to these audio dramas in full length form. It’s a shame they are likely too expensive to produce!

Fantastic story set in pre-Imperial (!) space where the Eldar are just starting to come to the realization that they really can’t trust anything or anyone. I sincerely enjoy the way Gav Thorpe writes Eldrad. Really enjoyed giving this one a listen!

without a doubt this is the best of 40K audio

Asurmen is the most interesting of characters from the 40K universe, regal wise and deadly

Love it though wished it was a bit longer

Nice production overall, it’s a great short story that leaves you wanting more. I do wish it was a bit longer though personally.

Do more Asurmen books for audible!

Would love to know more about Asurmen and his adventures and back story. I got into the action and like asurmens character, logical, and to the point. Some good quotes as well.

Go Eldar Go.

Worth it for any serious Aeldari player. I enjoyed the backstory and a look into my peoples’ minds.

What a Legend!

This is the first non-imperium story I have heard so far and its also the shortest. I love the Aeldari and Asurmen has long been a bit of a mystery to me so to start in on their lore with him was a treat. I love how hes more than just a great warrior. He is wise and caring as shown in his relationships with Eldrad and his student. The story is very Arthurian in style which is a huge plus for me.

The VA ensemble is wonderful with the voice alterations being clear most of the time. John Banks is a personal fav of mine since I did Dark Imperium before this and he did very well there.

All and all a great tale for any 40k fan or anyone with a taste for adventure!
