"THE LAST CHANCERS : DELIVERANCE" || GAV THORPE || UNOFFICIAL WH40K NARRATION || A VOX IN THE VOID

- The Last Chancers Series is a series of novels written by Gavin Thorpe featuring the Imperial Guard 13th Penal Legion, or Last Chancers under the command of Colonel Schaeffer. In 2006, the three novels were published in an omnibus edition, titled "The Last Chancers", along with the short stories Liberty and Deliverance.
A little background for you:
Members of the Last Chancers are all convicted criminals facing various punishments. While most of those inducted into the 13th Penal Legion are done so at the deliberate behest of Colonel Schaeffer, a small minority are random transfers. All are given one 'last chance' at redemption by fighting in the worst combat zones possible. If they manage to survive an unspecified number of these missions, which is highly unlikely given the nature of the operations they undertake, they earn a pardon, being forgiven their crimes in the eyes of the Emperor. A Last Chancer who dies fulfilling his duty is pardoned posthumously by the Colonel, who takes it upon himself to provide redemption to all of his troops, sometimes by his own hand. Schaeffer's dedication to his cause is unparalleled and he has never failed a mission with his Last Chancers. - Розваги
Another epic professional narration. I never took a good look at the penal legions. But now I understand. There more desperate then other guardsmen because they want to be redeemed. It's TRUE 40k is about the humans.
Pinned comment! Thankyou Xavier
@@AVoxintheVoid i love how it has a Serenit/Firefly style feel to the neration and sounds!
Glad you enjoyed that! Wanted to give 40k a different feel!
Kinda reminds me of catachans. Just. Penal.
You should read the full books of the Last Chancers as they are awesome 👌
"Just one more reason sir!"
The corporal spun around on his heel, his eye brow raised jn question.
For a moment, I paused, before saying, "I'm not going to give you the satisfaction of seeing me dead, yet!"
Finally, as if I haven't seen horror enough yet, a full smile broke upon his face, and without word, he turned and walked off.
Big dick energy on this last phrase
😂
This is why I love The Guard, no Demi-God Space Marines in sight, just normal Humans against an army of Genetically-Perfect Apex Predators, a Las-Gun in one hand and Grenades in the other and they hold the line.
100% ordinary humans vs 40k is the kind of stories I enjoy the most
Throw your men into a battle from which there is no escape and they will prefer death to flight. ~ Sun Tzu
The choice of background music really gives this a strong Starcraft Terran vibe, and I mean that as a compliment.
That's my favourite 'vibe' for Sci-fi.. same reason Firefly and parts of Mandalorian felt so cool and familiar. It's that smooth, western'y cool vibe. Nothing like it !
I was about to comment that then I seen this.
What songs did u used?
Hi Bogdan they were from epidemic sound. I have a subscription. 'Full house Dusk' by River Foxcroft
@@AVoxintheVoid thank you!
Love the rumour that Shaefer practices unaliveing himself in his spare time. I know the official canon explanation for this too: some Navy ensign walked into Shaefer's room without knocking and caught him in the middle of a vicious autoerotic asphyxiation session.
Luckily nobody believed the story and everyone just assumed he was practicing suey side.
Slaanesh approves of this post, by the roots it approves 🤣😂🤣👍
@@pipes9878 By my roots. By my desire.

"Fight like a cornered rat just to take another breath Sir!"
Best damn line every!!!!!
(Swarm lord sees colonel waving power sword like a lunatic)
Swarm lord: that's one angry chicken nugget... I'll leave him for last.
Colonel: damn, the swarm lord ran away, I was going to skin it and wear it as steel toe boots...
That carnifex description really dates this story. That description was of, what is know as the screamer killer, carnifex pre third edition.
Fantastic narration.
Apparently they’re still sold, just as separate units now
@@UCannotDefeatMyShmeat true the base concept never left the tyranid line, but this description here is exactly for the pre third edition codex carnifex. The carnifex model was changed in 3rd and continued to be changed.
Liked the music in this one. Had that frontier scifi Starcraft/firefly feel to it. Also I enjoy the Last Chancers stories.
The production was phenomenal. It was like listening to an episode of Firefly.
Cheers Jason, yeah I thought the space Western suited this particular piece!
Man! I know nothing of 40k...I just come here for these awesome bedtime stories
All I can spare right now - going through a bit of a rough patch, but I just wanted to add to the appreciation we all have for your work.
You pouring so much time, love and sweat into this means many of us can find much-needed solace after a shitty day, week or month, and, I mean, thank you brother.
Fantastic job; Colonial Schaeffer is a beast. Congrats on your longest story yet!
Cheers wolf, yeah it felt like an age to finish it but was fun
"I was taking a big risk, coz if they didn't follow me I'd be standing at the gate alone when whatever was big enough to batter 3 feet of plasteel came through. But then I heard the thud of boots behind me, so I guess the suckers fell for it." Brilliant story and QUALITY narration I can't wait to check out the rest of your content.
And I'm glad to have you here my friend!
That last line sends a literal chill up and down my spine every fragging time.
This was the first ever Warhammer story I ever read, got me a Tyranid army soon after. The wonder at this new universe was palpable
You are the emperors storyteller. Thank you for this
You're too kind Chimera. Appreciate it
@@AVoxintheVoid another one I love this one he talks about a guardsman that broke the rules and now and it in a penal Legion group for one last breath this one hit the spot
@@AVoxintheVoid I love these audiobook that's you right it's really it's really perfect War Warhammer 40K
@@AVoxintheVoid I have a question for you would you ever show it to the company that run 40 website and would you ever show it to him
@@AVoxintheVoid would you ever show this to the 40K website
And this is why I love the last chancers. Condemned men sent out to die in order to atone for their sins
Excellent story and really well done... def 1 of my favorite yet.
THE COLONEL PROTECTS !!!!! 💪
Mine too!
A story of redemption and of coming to terms with what one had done...Glorious story and narration... "For the Emperor !!!"
Mate, you have something good going on here. I just binged the lot, and one of my favorite bits is the Plague Marine in Redemption saying "For de peoble" in slightly Jamaican fashion. Something about those three little words just captured the Nurgle followers perfectly, aswell as your talent as a voice actor, and I dont even like Chaos factions. I hope Majorkill or Balders get you on their radar, both do wacky and good shit when it comes to 40k, and co-operation would be amazing. Even if you just want to do you, I think you are a great addition to the community.
Subbed. In perpetuity.
Honoured that you spent that time listening to my work brother. Totally appreciate the support more than words
Man!!!! This story was Sooo good. Would kill to hear more!!
thankyou! There is at least one more Last Chancers short story that I know of.
last chancers are one of the most UNDEREPRESENTED units or factions in 40k and deserve FAR more lore then they have gotten. they are the SUICIDE SQUAD of 40k. edit: and we got that ONE entry in the 3rd ed imperial Codex for these guys and then... nothing?
There are a couple of novels and short stories but definitely not enough
@@AVoxintheVoid i'll bet they are really obscue pieces no-longer in print right? could you do those stories as well???

That's a new one. You can find the old ones on eBay etc
I could listen to that western background music all day long. Awesome!
Absolutely phenomenal. I read this years ago as a teenager but having this read out in such an exceptional narration is remarkable. Thank you for posting this, keep up the awesome work!
I’m a big lover of warhammer audio book, but your stuff scratches an itch I didn’t know I had. Much love
Your storytelling and narration is off the charts.
This was an absolute beast, this is my sixth time listening to it. I sincerely hope you intend to keep up these longer videos.
I definitely will sprinkle in the longer ones here and there, it takes so long to record and edit but I know they're worth it in the end.
Thankyou for the support Dakota!
Vox
Love this story !!! The settings, the soundtrack !+ Reading !!! Vox Rules !!!
It's a shame there aren't more stories about penal guard legions, and I don't say that simply because I both find Cadians tedious or because the Savlar Chemdogs are my favorite legion. I just find the concepts and techniques of asymmetric warfare that such units specialize in to be more interesting than the whole "stand in this trench and die like rats" theme that the IG prevalently holds.
I would love to read more stories about that side of the guard. Have you heard of Sven Hassel? His stories about a German penal legion in ww2 were a direct influence on the last chancers
@@AVoxintheVoid
I have not, although I guess now I should. I had just figured the Last Chancers we're a tongue in cheek nod to Hogan's Heroes, but I guess I have another book for my backlog now.
Consider looking into gaunts ghosts, theyre a primarily scout/stealth focused group of IG. You might enjoy the change of pace.
I'm addicted to Gaunts ghosts. Got through about 10 books so far
I read the first novel, and this is gold: the music, the voices, well crafted sir!
Really appreciate this my friend!
I hope your channel continues to grow. Your voice acting is amazing. Especially the more guttural sounding voices. 🤌qualität🤌
I could Listen to this a Million Times. Great Work
Thankyou kindly Martin. My analytics will love ya.
Only just discovered this channel - this is AMAZING. Just became my no.1 WH40K fiction channel.
Really appreciate this comment my man 🙂
Amazing work per usual, easily one of the best channels for 40k stories at this point. Keep it up
Many thanks for the supportive words Ryan
The music kicked in when he said the title after the short intro while I was skating with the sun climbing over the mtns to the east and I am just flying - just was synchronistic and badass as hell
Absolutely delightful story, mate!! Loved every second of this hour of epicness!! Keep them coming!! Can't wait for more!! Well done!!
The well placed music and sound effects on all your videos are so immersive! Listening to this story again because it’s amazingly done
One of the most gripping 40k narrations I've heard ever. The music and sounds were great, but the narration - just phenomenal. Been a while since I've lost myself in a story like this.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart, you're doing the lord emperor's work.
Thankyou so much for the kind words brother! This is one of my favourites 🤘🤘
Every video I see more and more traction I love the passion I can feel from each video keep up the amazing work Paul you blow my mind with every video and now I get a perfect look at the mindset of a deadman pushing with every ounce of strength he has
THANKYOU SEAN! What an incredible comment to read. I definitely don't want to do anything that doesn't bring me joy. Thankyou again my friend
only experience with the Imperial Guard is here on youtube, mostly through you, so I say, I greatly appreciate it, that was an awesome story, can't wait to play as these guys in Darktide
I have some more guard goodness coming soon my dude!
Been bingeing your stuff recently, and I am very impressed. You deserve many more subs. Bare minimum 40k at least.
One of my favourites! Brilliant
Super cool! Loved the narration and story. The Last Chancers are total badasses
Many thanks Morgan. This is definitely one of my favourites! Glad you enjoyed it
Absolutely amazing as always. Sorry to hear you had trouble with the premiere. Can't wait to watch the next one live.
Yeah very annoying was looking forward to kicking back and chatting with some of you. Next time for sure. Thankyou for the comment brother
I must admit I am not a fan of Gav Thorpe. His writing does not feel like it belongs in warhammer 40k. I can not place the exact reason why as it he just doesn’t work for me. That being said your delivery of this work was excellent. I really enjoyed this and hope you’re able to continue with other works such as this.
What a great yarn! I got thoroughly immersed in it and would love to hear more like this.
I love the long narration, keeping me through work time. Great job!
Hope it helps with the work slog my brother!
@@AVoxintheVoid ❤️
This was a wild ride, ands I loved every second of it
Appreciate the comment my friend! Glad you enjoyed it!
Love this story, and the narration it out of this world 👍
Thankyou my friend, absolutely loved narrating this masterpiece of writing!
@@AVoxintheVoid am glad you enjoyed yourself mate, and I hope you can do some more last chancers stuff at some point, you put me right there with Cage and the others 😊👍
@@lay-hannowway8943 I'd love to but I try to stick to shorter narrations. If I can find one I surely will!
Love this vid, the last chancers was one of the first books i read 10 -15 years ago. Love the western music, and this story as 10th ed with nids coming out is just so right.
You deserve so much more attention man Godspeed 🙏🏻 can’t wait to watch this channel grow
The part about Ichar was a nice touch.. We had Titans there and Space Marines and even Eldar .... Millions of men and guns and we just won... Thats just crazy
Thank you for this masterpiece
And thankyou for listening sir!
Outstanding story anymore voice acting everything was on point! Thoroughly enjoyed it
Much appreciated!
I gotta stop listening while I'm driving. These narrations are so epic I feel like I'm witnessing them in real time.
That's one of the best things a creator can read. Thankyou!
These stories are amazing, and truly help me get through the day sometimes
Keep up the good work! Thank you for listening to the fan requests.
Maybe some Soul Drinkers next. Always loved the story about doing the right thing but getting screwed in the end. It is a Very relatable story.
Love the use of New Kings walking for music. Such a great soundtrack from Kaiserreich.
I actually found the song on epidemic sound (my royalty free music subscription). It was so good I had to use it! Obviously that company had the same idea!
Shit man I'm totally gobsmacked. How do you do it? You do it everytime! The southern music suits this. Its so good my imagination goes mad. You've got this shit sussed keep it up! Im thinkn youve worked in audio perhaps tv music....your formulas great
Hey Chris! Thanks my friend. Means a lot to know how my work is perceived by others. I thought so too about the southern music..it was a risk, but one I was willing to take! I used to be a singer in a band and have acted my whole life but no professional experience really, just a lot of trial and error.
@@AVoxintheVoid your a fukn natural then man awesome
@@AVoxintheVoid curious about the band thing a local thing or something bigger? What sort of music also? I'll take a guess.......perhaps something rock similar to the stones!!!??
It was always more metal, a few bands that were a bit lighter but definitely had to be rock. If you look back through my community feed you'll find a link to one of songs. We did pretty well in the UK, toured a bit with well known bands but members just wanted to move away and it all fizzled out.
@@AVoxintheVoid that's cool you've got the voice for rock or metal man. I'm a metal fan and a fan of southern metal mostly..... but im obsessed with mushroomhead i grew up on rock stones aero gunz metallica etc.i Cheers for the chat vox youre the man! Keep up the amazing work bro! You'll hear from me again no doubt take it easy man.
one of my favorite stories keep coming back to it
I've become a raving fan. Your choice of music and sfx sets so good a scene, atmosphere and immersion on-top of already amazing voice-work. I wish everyone made this effort.
One of my favs! I feel like a little kid and his favorite show just came on when I notice there’s a new story.
Hey Burt! Thanks for the awesome comment! Really makes me enjoy what I do when I read something like that!
finaly got into reading the last chancers book because of you:p thank you,those were amazing :P
amazing work as always!
Sun Tzu said it: “ in death ground, fight”
Man, I love the Last Chancers! After Gaunt and his Ghosts, they are my favourite named characters in the Imperium of Men. Currently reading the Omnibus and planning out an Astra Militarum Kill Team in their honor. Your Kage voice is almost exactly how I envisioned Kage myself when reading the stories and the western music and ambient sounds fit perfectly. Great job!
Man I've always loved penal legion stories, have you heard of Sven hassel? Author who wrote from a German penal legion point of view in ww2. Can't recommend those books enough,especially as they were cited as one of the biggest influences for the last Chancers. Thanks for the compliment and the comment!
@@AVoxintheVoid Okay, I will definitely look him up, thanks for the tip!
@@TheSorrowOfTheReaper check out 'wheels of terror'. It was the first book of the series I read and it was amazing.
@@AVoxintheVoid Will do!
That was a fantastic story and would be awesome to see in a live action movie. What a fucking badass.
FOR THE EMPORER indeed.
Im hooked. Been listening to vox for a while now. Never disappointed.
Thankyou very much my friend!
I'm gunna break my neck to get you more than 15000 subs mate this genius NEEDS to be heard 👏👏👏 WOW!
You legend! Thankyou for the support 🤘
This is freaking awesome. Great story and brilliantly told. Just excellent
Bro I love this. You deliveries on these stories are perfect
Sooooo goooood
Just excellent, i like the background music a lot.
Very imersive narration
My 1st 40k book was the last chancers omnibus. I wish I still had it.
I've been on UA-cam since it began, I rarely comment and seldom Subscribe and your work and swayed me to do both today. Well Done 👍🏽
Holy shit this writing is so gripping and the narration is amazing, thank you man!!!
Hell yes!! I was looking forward to this all week! Awesome work Vox!
Thankyou kindly sir!
Damn great voice work and ambient, as usual! Looking forward to more uploads like this.
Cheers Diego! Hopefully got another coming this week
Wow great job man. I have been looking for a better than great warhammer 40k fan reading channel. Thank you...
My pleasure Rob, glad you enjoy what I do!

Impressive narration/story telling!
Truly appreciate this compliment Henry. I love the fact there's so many passionate Warhammer creators.
@@AVoxintheVoid
You are very welcome friend. As a fellow artist I understand the ridiculous amount of TIME that the final draft results from...
This 40K material isnt as "Fictitious" as is read, written & expressed...;)
Loved every second! Pls do more of those longer ones. Especially with the nids... omnomnom
I will definitely do more longer ones in the future..I have a good nid story in the works...thankyou very much for the comments!
Not even heard it yet.. but am sure it will be awesome.. thanks.
Hope you enjoy it sir!
@@AVoxintheVoid 32 amazing minutes into it. It's fantastic! Thank you.
This needs to be a video game! Kind of like battefield bad company but with 40k
That would be AMAZING!
I loved Bad Company
"I won't give you the satisfaction of seeing me dead" fuck all mate, dude literally said I AM to petty to die!
Wow. Just wow.
Hell yeah, we love the colonel!
Please do more of the last chancers.
I picture Cage being a cross between Jayne Cobb and Butcher
Excellent narration!
So good to hear Kage instead of making one up as you read. Great story, I got 3 last chancers books but not one audiobook.
I hope I did the character justice!
@@AVoxintheVoid you absolutely did, voice was perfect.
Great work!!!!
Brilliant
This is all superbly done!
Many thanks Nortic!!!
"give a man a chance to back down, and he'll take it. Take it away and he'll grab whatever he ca with both hands and hold on as long as he can."
First time on the VOX I think you’re work is fantastic lads, if the rest of your work is as good as DELIVERANCE then bring it on
That was outstanding.
