The writing combined with the Voice Acting make this such a great listen. I am not an audio book person, but the quality from both of you have changed that. Thank you, your work is very appreciated.

Fantastic work on this series, God Speed good man!

thanks for expanding what is occupying so much of my brain. ill be listening to every word you write, be assured of it, Tod. Dankeschön from germany

Yes give me more night lords it's perfect

Thanks for your stories Tod, it would be nice to hear a story from the position of a Nightlord who becomes more and more bored of torcher who has to constantly up the experience to feel anything anymore to "break himself" for a lack of a better term. That every day and every raid is more and more empty as he himself realises the utter futility of it all, kinda like your first preysight chapter and a bit of groundhog day. Regardless keep up the good work.

My exact thought. As a newcomer to 40k I've often wondered why people would sympathize/play as chaos marines other than "they're cool!" But stories like these really bring them to life and you understand the different reasons (and levels) that bring some to such treachery

Sounds like some heresy

They humanise them as they stand over innocent people they took pleasure in murdering lol

Started collecting death guard because they looked cool, got hooked after reading the lore. The only factions who know true love. No vengeance, no hate, no fear. Yet they are "bad guys"

​@@patrickbateman3146Cling tight to your faith honorable battle brother for the servants of Chaos know no end to their decrepit reliance on their "dark god's".

Yeah where's your skin pits obviously Adolf was an amateur

TRUTH

Primo stuff

Somebody needed to say it, it needs more action in comments. Fucking HOT

suspiciously reminds my ex mother-in-law

Truly

It's the fun part of the Nightlords. They're a band of criminals and scum but have their own code of honor as warped as it is.

I think it’s because of one thing. A strange warped yet anti warp internal integrity. You want to make a campy over the top cartoon villain? Go write about word bearers. You want happily apathetic people sometimes sarcastically going about their day? Death guard. You want grumpy version of that? Iron warriors. You want depravity and insanity? Emperors children. You want sympathetic motives and good intentions that screw everything up anyway? Thousand sons. You want a war of conquest? Black legion. You want horrible people who do horrible things but believe in what they stand for and have a sense of nobility with surprising love and brotherhood, but also a few pure monsters thrown into the ranks? Night lords. I’m sure I’m forgetting someone, but you see my point. If you’re writing night lords you passed up all the above options for a reason. You wanted a specific kind of story and characters you can’t find easily in other legions. Also in this story in particular this MC’s love for Conrad and his ideals despite everything there is to say about Conrad was genuinely inspiring.

⁠​⁠@@kevinmccalister4602On an individual basis, one can have unique characters in the other legions. Not totally pidgin holed but definitely more difficult. What makes the NightLords so great is there underlying driving force behind their actions which is, at least to me, what makes a person interesting. And that motivation is: they just really want to kill the false puppet emperor. Don’t blame them either he did them so dirty. He even assassinated their Dad! Like, okay mortal enemy forever. And their power level? It’s almost like Big E knew Conrad was super fkn dangerous and him falling to Tzench, a being of fates and destiny would have been way bad especially coupled with magnus. Them being two shattered souls and belonging to the God he could have fused them or used Conrad’s life essence to make Fatweavers visions better. NightLords visions when interpreted correctly give an edge to say it lightly and them sitting around sanguelsa finding that out as a legion and getting swooped up by a God couldn’t happen. That’d be a neat twist. Still in canon they are slowly realizing their potential with this gift and the impact it’ll have on the imperium and how much a serious threat they are if united under Decimus fully. His visions could lead to gene seed to replenish, relics, avoid danger, when to strike, ally intentions, and how to isolate his gift so others can have it on a lesser more combat effective version. GW basically gave the NightLords a Nuke with him. They don’t have to ever fight a large scale battle with another chapter if they don’t want to because once they are successful, traitors would flock to him and chaos would be very very pleased to have an ally hell bent always on the destruction of their true enemy the big E and possibly lend the NL to their cause hoping Decimus finds appeal in one of their realms of influence. Unlikely but it’s there if it wanted to be written to give the traitors the biggest advantage they’ve ever had

The first Night Lords novel in the Horus Heresy is my favourite traitor novel. Its so well written and they are actually a very good legion.

Awesome. Keep at it and best of luck friend.

Amazing mate, do it

Theyre uchiha
