About this listen

A Hamilcar Bear-Eater Novel

There are few heroes so mighty as Hamilcar Bear-Eater—but when an ancient skaven warlock with a thirst for godhood seeks Hamilcar's immortal soul, will his martial prowess and uncanny skill be enough to ensure survival?

Listen to it because....

Everyone loves Hamilcar Bear-Eater—though few as much as he loves himself—and after loads of short stories, he's now been unleashed in a full-length novel! Enemies of Sigmar everywhere will be quaking in their boots....

The story:

Throughout the Realmgate Wars, Sigmar’s centuries-long crusade against Chaos in the Mortal Realms, there has never been a hero like Hamilcar Bear-Eater, famed Lord Castellant of the Astral Templars.

Would Gardus have charged headlong into the stronghold of Uxor Untamed with a mere handful of warriors at his back? Would Vandus have had the foresight or magnetism to drink himself euphoric, start a war with the Skarabrak lodge, and then wake come morning to a sore head and fifty thousand moonclan berserkers avowed to Sigmar’s cause? No. Only Hamilcar.

But when an ancient skaven warlock with a thirst for godhood turns his attention towards Hamilcar’s divine soul, the Bear-Eater knows he will have to call upon all his martial prowess and uncanny wits just to survive—because his next death could well be his last.

Written by David Guymer. Narrated by Matthew Hunt. Approximate running time is 10 hours and 52 minutes.

Great aos book with a relatable stormcast character

Hamilcars character really stands out against other stormcast characters of the past. Hamilcar is fun and flawed which makes him very likeble

Hamilcar made stormcast intresting for me.

Stormcast eternals have always felt like discount space marines for me. But hamilcar has made both stormcast and the setting as a whole much more palatable for me. I found myself very attached to him and other characters in the book because of how well this book was written, narrated and detailed out so thoroughly. The narrator does such a great job voicing him and the others. I really cant gush much more about the book, it is really stellar.

Stares in public

I’ve listened to this audio three times now and it never fails to leave me grinning like an idiot or busting out a guffaw on an airplane. The man shouts his own name as a battle cry, mocks the famous call and response of the hallowed knights, and still manages to come off as the one person in the mortal realms one might actually want to be friends with. The man is a legend .David Guymer absolutely CRUSHES IT in this novel and I can’t wait for more:) Hamilcar deserves his own model in AoS 4.0; the Astral Templars need a named hero and there are none more deserving that Hamilcar, the Eater of Bears!

For Sigmar!

Where to start? Hamilcar is my favorite character in the Age of Sigmar universe from the Hammer and Bolter show and hearing he was getting a book left me thrilled. I wondered what a book about a pompous self-serving immortal would be like. Turns out, it is amazing!

Hamilcar brings charm and wit to a normally dark and brutal setting. His laughter and love of battle make him an endearing and lovable rascal. Is he ridiculous and larger than life? Yes! Is he a joke. No way in hell. Hamilcar is an amazing warrior and a great leader. He is really put through the ringer in this book and the personal stakes become very high. Him and the supporting cast are very enjoyable and fun to follow.

Without spoiling anything, something happens that leaves Hamilcar in a way he never expected to be and on a very personal quest to right the wrong. This book had some fun twists and turns and really dives into the lore of the stormcast eternals and what makes them tick. This was my first Age of Sigmar book and I loved it. I highly recommend it for anyone interested in the setting.

A hilarious and exciting tale

One would assume that hearing the phrase “because I’m Hamilcar Bear-Eater” at least 15 times a chapter would be a nuisance but with the embellishment characteristics of Hamilcar, it’s both hilarious and fits the story with each utterance.

The voice talent is also a perfect fit for Hamilcar, and made the listen very much enjoyable. Definitely recommend this even if you’re not a Warhammer, Stormcast Eternal, or Age of Sigmar fan.
