There's always a war on somewhere. When Gav's inquisitor brings them to a brewing conflict between the Black Templars and traitorous Word Bearers, he finds himself caught up in the conflict... and it may be that the Emperor, personally, needs Gav to be the one to turn the tide.

Gav has killed multiple demons, chaos marines, cultists and became a temporary emperor's champion. It's only a matter of time til he becomes a full blown living saint. Amazing story, I absolutely love it
He is the emperors true angel. everything the emperor has done was in preparation for Gav.
Gav, Imperial Patron Saint of good boys and potato peals
@@derkrischa3720 Gav, Saint of the Big Guy with a Golden Heart
Bro imagine you,re a traitor legonaire and some ogryn thats fitted like a walking tank finnaly goes down just for him to get back up like nothing happened
@@cepboom1892 and now all that kitted out armor is golden and radiating magic thats actively burning your skin
Gav never fibbed.
Only the Emperor's Champion ever touched that sword.
"A"
Oh yea. I didn’t catch that, but you’re correct indeed. He WAS the emperor’s hand at the moment, so he didn’t lie. 😊
Part 3, Captain Stolt: I'm not even sure Gav knows how to lie.
He certainly did not lie here.
Me at the beginning- "How are they still calling it Gav and Bob? Bob's been dead for a whole two stories."
Me, five minutes later- 🥺🥺🥺
Befittingly wholesome and very metal of Gav 🤟
Yeah that rang a note on my heart strings
Its not about gav and bob. Its about how much gav misses bob. Poor guy. 😢
This is such a weird genre of things to cry about, but the love for Bob is real
Send Gav into the eye of terror. He’ll have it sorted in three months. Two if you promise him all the potatoes he can eat on return.
Let's not do that send the smurfs they have plot armor
@@aymanelkadouri8235 agreed. Gav is too precious for that. Let the lowly berries do that
Sorry, but Gav isn't gonna go there. He's needed (let me check my notes for the exact quote), "Absolutely fracking anywhere else in our God Emperor's galaxy."
I want Gav to meet the Salamanders. Warriors recognizes warriors. Friends sharing potatoes.
Well he already has praise from the space wolves
@@abysswalker2594If you can get a Space Wolf of all people to say it was metal as fuck, you know you did something right
Bro the salamanders would just straight up adopt him lol
I don't know.
Gav may have trouble trusting the Salamanders.
They ROAST their potatoes...
is that heresy?
@@TheGreatThicc and probably the black temples if the one who grabbed the black sword was grimaldus because he could have had a suspicion he held the black sword and would know for a fact after they grabbed the emperor’s champion body and see he was dead longer
Probably be mad and be like holy shit them too took on an entire position and killed everyone and even stopped a demon invasion and took on multiple word bearers
Big E, in his Throne: You sure he's reliable?
Arry: Yeah, just send me in and we're good. Between me and you, it'll go without a hitch.
*Yes*
Cain: And you know Arry's got it, he was one of mine.
@@Kameth big e
Why are you here
@@abysswalker2594 Cain: you tell me. You’re the one who let that regiment make me an imperial saint.
@@TimeCircleBlue big e : no I sent you to fuck with some chao- OH SHIT EVERY ONE FUCKING RUN
chaos bust in a wall near them
chaos: WHATS UP BITCHES
I named my Ogryn in Darktide Gav and some people actually got the reference.
I always put "FOR BOB!" In chat when I see a Gav
Same here, I haven't met anyone who has got the reference, but it makes me smile that some do.
Are you on EU or NA? I think i played with you and gave a for Bob as well
Nicce
@@bodhiblack731 oh I’m gonna need to start doing that too!
If I had a nickel for every fan-made ogryn story that made me both laugh and cry, I'd have two nickels.
Which isn't alot, but it's weird it happened twice.
Should have 3 if you listened to all the parts! 😁
Imo nobody but Vox could do this.
@@danisanches9010 How about part 2, were Gav fights with a sister of battle?
@@danisanches9010 You mean the one from Noman. I watch only the first series. I think the golem is the better series he has made.
@@danisanches9010 That's new to me will be watching it this week! Thanks!
“I’m comin Arry! For YOU! FOR THE EMPEROR!!!” Chills every time. Easily one of the best 40k stories I’ve ever heard. Hats off to you Vox thanks for all your hard work!
21:23
My heart was tenderly touched when Arry appeared and guided Gav, then Bob himself appearing almost made me cry. Traella is going to have so many stories that no one in the Inquisition will ever believe, and this one will be up there with the wildest.
I might have gotten misty eyed...
Someones seems to have cried over my face.
@@ChillAssTurtle Yes exactly this!
@@SillySpudyRocking hold me brutha
@@ChillAssTurtle 🐢 We need to start the Gav, Bob n Arry crusade and like the Fists we shall Fortify our cheeks!
He named his gun Bob! My feels weren’t ready for this!!!
Thank you so much for bringing this into reality. Loved seeing what Gav’s up to.
I'm just glad that folks are enjoying it!
this character always kicks me right in the feels too. it's a good way to vent .no?
Seconds into the video and I'm tearing up 😭
@@machinegunblues7 hold me brother :,)
@@machinegunblues7 me too. we're a sad Old bunch .😀
It wouldn't surprise me if Gav started naming all of his weapons/armor/equipment after the people who meant the most to him in his life.
I'm noting this for any future installments.
It's the only way realistically an ogren would remember anything
Whatever he names Tarla will be heart-breaking in some way.
@@TenaciousJ2323 Probably going to be his kids name considering that's one of the few names he would think of
Gav Smith, Emperor's Champion. There's a ring to it, not gonna lie.
I was horribly afraid that the story was going to take a really dark turn and that Gav was actually being driven insane by the sword, and the Marines he was fighting in the beginning were hallucinations that were actually his friends trying to stop him. Not to mention 'arry and Bob, thought they might have been evil hallucinations too. One of the rare times I'm tremendously glad to be wrong.
When Gav was tearing through the base "The only thing they fear is you" started playing in my head
Gav's Charge
Emporer was like: upon them i will send only you, rip and tear until it is done Gav.
I really wish someone would make that
i though of cadian's xx playing instead
Meh, I could almost hear BFG Division myself, but either would work.
This is the best episode yet, you've outdone yourself! Also holy hell, Gav now has at least three traitor astartes on his kill count, thats bonkers considering most soldiers will never even see one, let alone kill one. He didn't lie when he said that only the Emperor's champion held that blade.
I think it's 4
@@kingcrafteroderderfahradtu7331 yeah it was hard to tell with one of them, hence I say "at least three". Regardless, Gav is a true champion of humanity.
@@Casperski1312 one was the one that summoned the demons who killed Bob
Two and three were the two who wanted to take the sword
And the forth one is the one he fought at the end
Didnt he drop a keeper of secrets to?
@@nuzuk Fed it a grenade.
i imagine Big E watching just after GAv picked up the sword. " oh?, this changes things. " Arry, Bob. Go guide your friend"
emperor bored of more of the same…
Gav touches sword
emperor: Well…..alright heavy….double time it
I love the little glimpses we get of 'Arry really do show he was one of Ciaphas Cains pupils. He didn't yell at the Ogryns, he worked with them in ways they appreciated and they loved him. All of which meant he had a wall of titanic meatheads between him and the enemy at any given moment and just bad luck and an Ork Commando stopped him reaching a very nice retirement.
I somehow think Cain would be smarter than his pulil. He would position himself in the middle of the group.
I’m happy knowing that at least some of Cain’s pupils survived and are out there. Fighting as true heroes of humanity.
So happy we’re getting more Gav and Bob. The Ogryn and Ratling team up is always a fun scenario. Started going through the back log yesterday. Such great works
Hanging out for Gav and Bob stories! His kill counts off the charts!
Gav was right. Only the emperor's chosen one picked up that sword
Gav liked Throb, but Throb liked trouble..
That is underrated... Poeticly and amazing writing. Looks way more simple then it actually is and the effect is amazing.
I was particularly proud of it myself. Pleased you appreciate it!
Yeah I love how it only hints to the "adult talks", you know there is another, way more eloquently version behind almost every sentence in this
Gav is now a Black Templar Champion.
#changemymind
This is true
The Emperor has acknowledged his faith and devotion and has chosen him to be one of his blades
Space Wolves: Hold on, we called dibs
Gav is not a silly boy, Gav makes the Emperor smile.
I remember reading that story back when it was a /tg/ thread. It packs more emotion than half Horus Heresy, better written and characterized than any of the dime-a-dozen "bolter porn" stories about space marines, and now it's voiced in a class of its own.
Where do I even start... The story: even though it's from a different writer it flows effortlessly well with the original stories. Same sentiments, same epic acale and same harrowing experiences.
The sound: The music was choice and fit the situations extremely well. AND THE SFX, MY WORD. Top level immersion. Absolutely beautiful.
The vocals: Yours were absolutely top notch, as always. Gav is completely yours. I can't imagine anyone else ever playing him. Adam was a breath of fresh air and a capable VA, a very welcome addition to the troupe!
I am ready and excited for the next part. ❤️
Words can't describe how engaging Gav's storyline is. So beautiful and yet so sad as well when it wants to be. I hope there will be more parts.
There will certainly more parts to come! I think Gavs story's could be endless in possibility. Thankyou for your kind words!
@@AVoxintheVoid good news
Seeing that this is the last episode and the trend of Gav's misfortune - I was reading myself that he might die here... But he didn't... The Emperor protects
Gav deserved to get the credit. A true Chaplan would have understood that his faith made him obey the calling.
Yes but Black Templars are zealot assholes.
Is it heresy for an ogryn to take up the sword of the emperors champion? I hate to imagine what that chaplain would have done to Gav.
Awesome story. Your narration adds so much to an already excellent base.
I'm not sure if it wouldve been heresy but it was a black templar chaplain, black templars don't like abhumans, they look at them as normal mutants, so he probably would've found some excuse to have Gav executed.
The chaplains are trained to recognize those who have been chosen by the black swords.
He would have known that this was the Emperor's will.
@@AnshumanKantiBose yup.
If it had been wielded by anyone else, he would've known immediately
The chaplain stared at gav for a moment longer. Also he referred to him as guardsman not ogryn, or abhuman...... That chaplain knew.
@@codius_dak5095 Chaplains, first and foremost, are judges of character.
Because a persons character defines who they really are, not their actions or their words, in 40k
Only the Emperor's champion touched the sword... only his champion!
Imagine if they actually put this story in Hammer and Bolter series .
14:03 BRO NO WAY
I WAS SCREAMING AND CRYING WHEN GAV PARRIED A CHAOS SPACE MARINE!!!!
my mum came into my room to see whats happenening
So much hype and so much emotion
This seriew is up there with the Longest Second by Baldermort
Idk how you did it was never one for audio Dramas but you have become my favourite writer in the 40k space
Thank for drawing out so many raw emotions out of me that I didnt think that I Could feel
Mom walks in yells " I know what your doing in here"
That "For the Emperor" hit so much harder than usual. This series is so well produced, I couldn't help but binge it in one sitting!
Dude Gav has my vote to be a living Saint the man is a Dynamo who the father of freaking story starring in ogryn of all things would be this damn good he's a beast he does not give up and you know what they say
"If there's a bully it's an Ogryn's job to stop 'em" well done I am captivated can't wait to hear more
Sometimes the grim dark gets old. It's nice you have brought a little light. Well done and well said.
NOPE NOPE NOPE! I know this trick. Imma start listening at work, and SOMETHING is gonna make me get all teary-eyed and sniffley, and people are gonna ask 'What's wrong?' and I'm gonna TRY to tell them, and they're not going to get it, and it's gonna be a whole thing.
Imma save it for when I'm at home with my comfy blankets and tissues for crying.
This is the highest praise that can be given to a creator, in my opinion. Getting under those safe guards and provoking powerful emotion is a testament to a job well done.
Literally finished part 3 yesterday. Let's go boys!
Me too
Same here! The Emperor guides us!
I hope we see Gav again,if not in the lead perhaps as supporting?
Kinda like the Avengers
Same
I only listened to part 1 yesterday and found out about it being a series today.
I am convinced that Gav was once either the 2nd or 18th Primarch, but when he was on route to his new home planet, his pod or whatever was probably going around like a pinball, crash landing on the planet and then getting accidentally kicked by his new surrogate parent leading to brain damage that fucked up his brain development. Also, with how he seems to be growing with every tragedy and taking the theory that Primarchs have the souls of Warp Gods, I'd say his is a warp god of tragedy
This is genuinely one of the best 40k stories I’ve heard in a long time, 40 minutes flew by in what felt like seconds I was so captivated. Excellent work
An ogryn peeling a potato would be like a normal person skinning a grape
Who knows how big a space potato grows..😎
Man I was not expecting a part 4 but these never disappoint. Seriously I used to not like Ogryns much but this series convinced me to add a full unit to my guard army. Outstanding work as always!
I just watched the first three parts 2 days ago! I've been quite sick, the tears really helped clean out my sinuses haha.
Can't wait for this continuation of such a classic tale.
Luv me Gave & Bob
Luv me vox
'ate xenos
'ate mutants
'ate heretics
Not racist, just don't like'm
Simple as
The second I heard he named the gun I knew what was coming... it still got me 😭😭😭
The Gav and Bob Chronicles are the best thing for 40k that I've delved into.
They are beautiful tales and I'm honoured to continue the story!
Surely this Ogryn is blessed by the Emperor.
Gav and Bob is probably my favorite series on the channel. I love guardsman stories and especially love Ogryn. Won't lie, though, Gav and Bob stories always make me tear up a bit
Actual tearjerker of a story, Gav is such a wholesome being and we could really do with more of that in the grimdark 40k universe
Gav is making the Emperor proud! The heretics should fear this man!
If they don’t already
Damn straight they will!
Those scum will learn to fear such servants of the supposed "corpse god" they have so foolishly reviled.
Are there any more Gav and Bob stories out there?? 😊
I love these stories. I 😭 when Bob died. And poor Tarla 😢
FUCKING genius
Ime literally choked up trying not to cry bob is a seriously good character such good writing
Harry: appears to him.
Grav : remembers him.
me : starts tearing up. hoping its not a chaos trick. ;w;
It ain't my friend, it ain't
Gav's story has been an absolute pleasure to listen to, thank you Vox, for bringing such a wonderful character to life.
The only thing better than seeing Gav kicking some chaotic ass would be a team up of Salamanders and Lamenters where surprisingly nothing ultra terrible goes wrong, but you know what I mean.
I want to also see some more Salamander and Lamenter stuff.
Edit
Or better yet, have Gav and his pals team up with either chapter or why not both?
Awww, that was awesome, I love these Gav and Bob stories they tick all the boxes.
Can't wait for the next one.
Good going Gav, your the Emperor's favourite Ogrn and mine too.
I think it would be wild if gav meet a “legion of the dammed” or any of the emperor’s “demons”
Putting a pin in that for what I think would be the last story I try to pen.
Likey will!!!
Gav just can't help but find the biggest asshole on the planet and put em down lol. I suppose the only is issue is the marines might figure out what actually happened. Even then Gav didn't lie. Only the Emperors champion touched that blade.
#TheTemplarKnew
I’d like to think the Emperor possessed Gav through the Sword using Arry image to speak to him
First time hearing this story. Amazing once again, the author has himself an anthem to continue to bring the newbie, the knowledgeable, and the hard-core fan into the fold that is 40k. And for the reader to do the voices and background noise shows the immersive nature of the fight and the character as a whole. Keep pressing more Gav for the Emperor.
Another brilliant addition to the story and even better to hear Gav fighting for the Emperor himself !! Please keep up the good work. Greetings from Kilkenny ROI.
An Ogryn wielding the black sword what a story!
I can't wait for the next 1 to come out. Your doing a great job with this story and the voices are on point. In particular the background music was good for whatever reason I feel like a lot of people mess up the background music for what's going on in the story but you guys nailed it
Brilliant production. Loved the story, the music, the sfx and the delivery, and that it looks like there's still more to be enjoyed!
Hopefully plenty more to come from the tales of Gav in the Inquisition!
It just finished live.
Epic does not cover it. Well played Sir!!
That's some next level narration. 10/10
The day an Ogryn was Emperor's Champion. HooAah. What a story. And well done wirh the voices. 👌👏
Just binged this series so far - absolutely enthralling from what could have easily been a one-shot. Gav’s a good lad, does the Emperor proud
GAV HAS A COMEBACK WHOOOOOOOO! best chapter yet guns, ghosts, appropriately named high powered heavy weapons and our favorite Ogryn buddy killed a word bearer i think i can safely speak for all gav and bob fans when i say Best chapter yet please make more!
Finally my favorite good Boi's make another appearance. They inspired me to get off drugs and start my wildly successful potato peelings business. I named it it Bob and Gav's potato peelings and pants.
Guess who gav is carrying in my profile picture. First to guess right gets 4 inches added to their adeptus meatus.
Earnt yourself a subscriber. Not normally keen on British readers as I'm British myself and have to listen to the mrs chatting nonesense most of the time, but your narration skills are absolutely astonishing. Well done.
So excited!! I just sat and listened to all 3 again. I puts one into such a relaxed contemplative mind set. I'll need a nice quiet room for a new one.❤
Only the Emperor’s Champion touched that sword. Damn right.
Fn brilliant reincarnation of Bob. This is one of the best contemporary short story series’ or really stories period that I can think of. It’s hilarious, deep, emotive, and many more synonymous adjectives
Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant!
An excellent,spellbinding & fitting conclusion (?) to Gav & Bob,Gav the Emperor's Champion...purely brilliant!
Are these fanwritten stories?! Because of they are that makes this amazingly touching nerrative even more Amazing 😍.
Ogryns are basically the big lovable dogs of the Imperium. I can't find myself empathetic with a lot of Imperial characters but Ogryns are literally just eager puppies trying to please 🥺
They are all fan written my friend!
@@AVoxintheVoid HOLYSHIT SERIOAULY??? i thought at least some were shorts from Black Library that enver got the Audiobook treatment or simply old bits of fluff.
i cant wait !! great series ! there needs to be whole book series =D - keep up great work my man !
Why why do I cry for a nonexistent human teddy bear
Just wanna add to all the well deserved praise for doing this work. Absolutely love the Gav and Bob stories and Im hoping more of them are coming in the future ❤
This has easily become the most tear wrenching and smile inducing story within 40k I could have wanted. Thank you for taking the time to make these, it's really appreciated. For the Emperor, and Bob
Gav is a true selfless warrior and that's what makes great heroes
Listened Gav and Bob 1,2,3 and now this, amazing stuff, incredible even!
Im so happy that i found this channel
And I'm happy you're here!
Very fun, i sure wish it was 10 hours long though. :)
Happy Holidays, be safe, have fun!
My hype gauge has broken!
there absolutely needs to be a few characters in 40k like gav.
the few, the faithful, those of humanity that still inspire others with their story’s with how hard they fight to be a hero in the emperor’s name.
grim and dark can only exist if some lights like gav exist still winning.
By the EMPEROR, I was waiting for this. Excelent job as always. Thank you. Made my day.
Excellent. Confused the champion with Gav for a moment at the end. Thought he died but the weakness between reality and chaos made him present
Dude I just found this channel the other day and we get a part 4!
Aren't you a lucky ducky? 😎 Hope you enjoy it!
Same here. This time last week I didn't know this awesomeness existed. So much good content!
I only just found your channel but fuck I can't wait to see more from you. Your channel is absolutely amazing.
All these stories of the ogryn Have become my favorite things to listen to I hope there is more in the future
There most certainly will!
No other 40k series has got me literally crying at least once every episode.
Truly exemplary work Vox. This video series is easily up there with TTSD in terms of required watching for 40k.
Emperor's day came earlier. By blessed Terra did I enjoy this. I did the only thing a loyal servant of the Emperor could do. Immediately tell my other friends the glorious news so they too could bask in the glory that is part 4 of Gav and Bob. May the Emperor bless us one and all
I love these stories you have no need for space marines when you have Gav & bob
The big booming voice did the emperor speak directly to gav I'm flabbergasted
That was the intention. A champion of great faith will sometimes hear the command of the Master of Mankind, after all!
He spoke to Gav AND Grint. His eyes were glowing Gold, which usually means that the Emperor is giving someone a cheeky power boost.
The CSM with knee issues is the real MVP of the story lmfao. As always, as an aspiring VA I find your work inspiring! Keep it up
My favorite thing to do, next to peeling potatas
Daamn... Wasnt expecting to get a bit emotional tonight.
Thank you :)
I cant put into words just how much I love this series. I said this in the comments of the last video, "You have made me care for a fictional character, that has never happened before"
I thought part 3 was the final edition to the tale but im so happy it is not the case. I really enjoyed this video, I love Gav, I love this saga. Thank You Vox.
I’m way more invested in Gav than I should be in any fictitious character. Amazing content!
I am yet another Gav in Darktide, and couldn't help recognizing the ripper gun sounds. I once again cried and am not ashamed. Your work enhances the original text wonderfully. Thank you
i am a bob, memory of a great friend and another ogryn who charges forward
