Audio Review // Wolf Mother by Graham McNeill
This marks the final audio drama in my run through War Without End, and Wolf Mother absolutely promises to go out swinging. An intense rescue mission involving Alivia Sureka and Severian.
Audio Review // Twisted by Guy Haley
Twisted is a tense and surprisingly effective Horus Heresy short story that puts Maloghurst back in the spotlight. Stalked by a Neverborn aboard the Vengeful Spirit, the Warmaster’s equerry fights to prove his worth in a Legion that’s rapidly leaving him behind. Atmospheric, unsettling, and a strong follow-up to Vengeful Spirit — but frustratingly short once it gets going.
Audio Review // Horus Heresy: Chirurgeon by Nick Kyme
Excited to dive into another Fabius Bile story. As one of my favourite villains of 40k, it is always enjoyable to experience the 30k "Loyal" version. I'm keen on Reynold's version of him, so I genuinely hope Kyme does him Justice.

Audio Review // The Harrowing by Rob Sanders
We’re diving back into the grimdark this week, and I have to admit, I’m pretty hyped. Why? Because the Alpha Legion is back in the spotlight, and if there’s one thing you can count on with them, it’s misdirection, betrayal, and chaos.
