Narrator's Note: My pronunciation of words pertaining to bug descriptors has changed, to everyone's liking, and will persist into the future. I accept my fault on that and apologies for my ignorance based on incorrect references and teachings from my youth. However, it seems my pronunciation of 'Ichor' happens to be correct after much research - but apologies to those who may find it odd to their listening experience as I persist with that pronunciation. Oddities in pronunciation among regions and countries are fascinating to observe and learn.
How you can fall asleep, with anything warhammer related, I applaud you.. I work nights and many mid days were reached without blessed rest, because I wanted to hear more..
I like the irony of the mechanicus throwing themselves into an acid bath and saying 'the survival of the species is more important than the survival of the individual', when both of those are key identifying traits of the tyranids they're fighting.
@@DaughterOfDrakes The Magos said there was another with a transceiver receiving his cogitator information seemingly similar to how Belisarius might be doing so. Not sure about the Datasmith and what information may be lost by her passing, but she may have a backup to. But it does seem odd for a a one way ticket kind of thing be done and no way out. But again the writing for the Grim Dark is so like that, no happy endings. It's just that so much loss with no happy endings suggests this should be over in about 10000 years or so, with Humanity taking an L because it can breed it's way out of the losses, but that technically goes for the Traitors as well, they suffer huge losses just living in the warp let alone fighting the loyalists, yet could fight 13 Black Crusades, and seem to have limitless personnel even when they're constantly killing themselves and being killed. Hell just being part of Team Nurgle is a death sentence after a fashion, and yet without being "reborn" their number is without limit. Sure there are those "convinced" to join, but most die from contact with the contagions, so the list of incoming raw recruits isn't going to be naturally high, but every story sees legion as the invaders coming in and the world also becomes infected with people dying, not joining, but becoming goo. This is the closest I've seen to a happy ending, and that's only because they could have left the planet with the remaining forces, the Mechanicus, but chose not to because they don't fear death?! Not sure where the logic\\wisdom is early-graving on this mission is, sacrificing the castellans and such when normatively capture and exfiltration is the order of the day for study of such import, even if they don't leave the system, kiting them by ship, to complete the study and then bouncing with the stolen data. Staying on planet and wasting materiel on scorched earth in a know Kobe Yoshi Maru seems illogical, like there was a little bit of that weakness of flesh poking out, if from no one else, a misstep on the writers part because if forces a suspense of disbelief which breaks immersion. But I ain't one to gossip... .
Damn what a ending doomy and gloomy but he didn't actually die in this story. Anyone know of any more Tyranid books like the "The Fall of Malvolion" or "Devastation of Baal" ?
Hi Wyvern, as an avid warhammer audiobook listener i can say your narrations is very very good and you should certainly keep it up! One suggestion, speak in your own voice with your own inflections and i have no doubt you may well rival jonathan keeble, ggs and glgl :)
You have a great narrator voice! But I think a way to improve is try to sound less "bored" in your reading, and change the tone and timbre of your voice from situation to situation. It does tend to sound a bit monotonous. If you work on that a bit, I think you'll be a great narrator. Your reading and pronunciation are really 👌
Thanks again war wyvern. Listened to a lot of your videos now. Couldn't finish this one though, too many instances of 'Chiton' and 'ichor'. I think its kai-ten (like syphon) and ick-uh (like liquor). Thanks again mate.

Dude dont apologise your doing us all a favour here. Language is fluid anyways.
Dude you sound amazing
It's "eye-core" in American English, don't use the archaic pronunciation only pretentious foreigners do that.
@@tyrlant2189chill. Sometimes it’s as simple as someone parroting someone else’s pronunciation when they first heard it said.
Thank You for the hard work trying to get things right
Just the right amount of distortion on the admech voice. Best version I've heard
Agreed
Only problem with using this to fall asleep is having to rewind it the next day to hear the end

Not to mention that the mechanicus are one of the most individualistic faction in the imperium. Even techpriest backstab each other all the time.
That's also the Imperiums POV towards regular humans imo. Unless you're genetically modified, you don't matter.
Preservation of knowledge is the most important thing to a tech priest. Them dying pointlessly like this seems like bad writing.
@@Humuhumunukunukuapaa It's possible they made backups of the knowledge they had.

There aren't a ton of admech centric stories out there. This is a nice change of pace. Well done.
I want more Admech stories or at least more stories with some Admech in it. I am in the process of writing more!
This is better than some of the black library productions
What a great story. Great listening with the voices as well 👌
Criminally underrated readings. Ive said it before, youve got a great voice my guy.
Love the mechanicus voices and the narrators' of course.
Damn what a ending doomy and gloomy but he didn't actually die in this story.
Anyone know of any more Tyranid books like the "The Fall of Malvolion" or "Devastation of Baal" ?
Valedor book by Guy Haley is a huge battle between Eldar/Dark Eldar vs. Tyranids
@@skywatcheradept Thanks ill see if i can find it.
Very good narration. And i loved the admech voices.
You're earned a sub. :)
Excellent narration, Brother Wyvern. Thank you.
Riveting. Simply sublime.
Love your narrations man. Great stuff :)
Praise The Omnissiah!!
Blessed Is The Machine God!!
I would listen to you read the back of a cereal box. Solid stuff!
You did a great job 👏 I really enjoyed this one ☝️
The audio reading is excellent however there just one reoccurring error, Chitin is pronounced Ky-Tin!
Thank you man!!! I needed something to work and I’m new to warhammer!!
Awesome performance
Great read. Cheers. Enjoyed it.
The vat of acid episode.
Best so far.
Bedtime stories for grownups ^^
Thank you so much
Return of the king
Ho this is a fresh one.
the enigmerr of flesh
Love the voice keep it up!
What’s the odds of us getting a story from a catachan pov. If there any?
Great telling. Only comment would be that nimue is pronounced nim-way
Hi Wyvern, as an avid warhammer audiobook listener i can say your narrations is very very good and you should certainly keep it up! One suggestion, speak in your own voice with your own inflections and i have no doubt you may well rival jonathan keeble, ggs and glgl :)
How do you know this isnt his natural voice / inflections 🧐🥷🏼
Awesome story
Niceee
Baby come back...
You can blame it all on me
Tech priest mommy?
Enigma of flesh = riddle of steel?

Thanks again mate.
His voice sounds like automatically generated auto tuned with no emotion
perfect for admech
It's crazy how many people can't pronounce chitin
Kite'n
I'm confused, I'm still new to 40k. Are these videos full stories on their own and are they official or fanfiction?
Official stories I believe he is allowed to post them because he narrates it like it matters lol fan made ones are just as good
I farted in the palm of my hand to catch the fart to be able to inhale it better!
b
Lol werner
If you're going to narrate an audiobook about insectoid aliens, you'd better damn well know how to pronounce "chitin".
I have a pp and would like to have it replaced with a plasma gun.
