Come hell or high water The Lamenters will always do what's right... even if they die in the process. That's why they're my favorite Chapter. In the grimdark universe of 40k, where most lawful good factions are genocidal loons, The Lamenters will do what's right, get ganged up on by every big bad in the universe and still spit the cruel galaxy in the eye.
@@ABorderPrince Just a suggestion maybe you can make a playlist of the different narrations by subject like all the tyranid ones in a playlist it's hard to figure out which ones pertain to which thing.
"The shadow has fallen over us, Grouse, they're coming." That is damn frightening prospects, 100k guard and maybe a chapter of marines against a hive splinter fleet. Nightmares.
Yeah, the Lamentors show up to give their biomass to the hive… That poor chapter can’t catch a break.. they’re the “red headed stepchild” of the Astartes
As a guardsman player I felt the relief and salvation when the drop pods were described and the absolute destruction the Lamenters brought with them, for all of 5 minutes, and then the Grim Dark set back in and I realised the great devourer never loses
Brilliant reading my friend. Dan’s story is truly Grim Dark and you conveyed that roller coaster of emotions quite well. The poor Lamentors. The poor Guardsmen. Just absolutely terrible and unspeakable way to die
Love this story and your narration ABP, interesting to see an early iteration of General Grizmund from the Gaunt’s Ghosts series. The Black Library work from this period absolutely defined the 41st Millennium for me growing up.
Now i remember why this Story is so familiar to me it was in my very first White Dwarf Magazine and the Tyranids gotten(back then) their newest Codex. And when i started doing Warhammer stuff.
One of my favorite Wh40K tales! Really well done, I subbed as i will be spending a lot of time here!! Can you do the Tyranid Wars: The Siege of Iyanden? That was an insanely incredible story, I'm sure you can bring that to life really well!
That ending...what happened to the Hydra flakk battery driving ahead? What in Tarnation was that shit raining from the skies that melted armor? Never heard of it before
@@ABorderPrince So basically, the only army you could throw at the oversized bedbugs would be Kriegsmen dancing around in so much gas it'd _eat_ the Tyranid spores before they touched down?
Even Dante recognized the ill fortune the Lamentors had unceremoniously graced with by Games Workshop. I recall from either Dante or The Devastation of Baal so much lore sometimes hard to remember from the vast depths of the Black Library.
I remember when this story first appeared in White Dwarf, I guess late 1990's early 2000's? One of the best stories Ive ever read from GW. Abnett is one hell of a writer, wish he would do a full novel on a story like this.
Ok first of absolutely excellent reading. 10/10 for that. But man my friend sure trolled me with this story. A guard unit I really like are Mordians. My favourite marine chapter is Lamenters. One of the "enemies" of WH40k I really am not fond of are Tyranids. So he send me this to listen to, saying how it is amazing and one of his favorite stories (unlike me he likes Tyranids a lot, maybe too much). So here I am finished listening to this excellently narrated story and trying to find a words to say how I utterly hate even though it is really good.
this is true horror jesus christ thats what i love about warhamner 40k the faint hope of the drop pods and astartes leaping out dealing death only to be overwhelmed love your work brother
Yo man, are your narrations in playlists? Like an imperial guard, blood angel, word bearer playlists ? Just wondering I’m a bit new and I haven’t a clue ha
ABorder Prince Warhammer Lore Cool stuff man. I’ve listened to at least a dozen now and I’ve got to say you are doing the Emperors’ work here mate. Keep it up
i think its great what you are doing , i cant wait for the next story . have u ever thought to have a group of peopel reading with you to make your owen audio drama?
Partway though I had flashbacks to the movie Platoon..... ahhh shit. (Starship Troopers) sir what do we do, " kill em kill em all"... *gunsounds and monster deaths
Sees the planet is already overwhelmed with Tyranids and doomed, drops some drop pods with no support or heavy firepower. I'm beginning to think the Lamenters may be idiots.
"Burn it. Get a flamer in here and burn it all."
Lmao I lost it
lol
As soon as I heard Lamenters, I started quietly weeping.
"Oh, the Lamenters are here...guess we're fucked."
Same 😢
dangit, spoilers lol
@@MrThatpersonthatguy it's to be expected with the lamy lads
@sassythesasquatch1571 Weep not for us. We die for those we cherrish.
"The Astartes have arrived!"
"We're saved!"
"It's the Lamenters!"
"We're dead!"
Better than the Marines Malevolent.
Better than the Flesh Tearers...
Or the 300 Revenants and their sorcerer leader from Prosporos
At least they didn't get killed by ''Ork snipers'' like the poor cat marines.

@@ABorderPrince Just a suggestion maybe you can make a playlist of the different narrations by subject like all the tyranid ones in a playlist it's hard to figure out which ones pertain to which thing.
The lamenters are the only good faction in 40k so the universe must try to corrupt and destroy them
"The shadow has fallen over us, Grouse, they're coming." That is damn frightening prospects, 100k guard and maybe a chapter of marines against a hive splinter fleet. Nightmares.
Gallo's speech "Of coarse there is something bad coming!" Loved it just awesome as a guard players yes all the yes!
This is the kind of tyranid story that I've been looking for.
glad you liked
Man those blood angels successor chapters sure do get fcked over... almost like GW doesn't like them 🤣
LOL yeah somthings up
Just lamenters
Well, the red lads are the opposite of the blue smurfs.
Genuinely have deep sorrow for my yellow angel boys
They suffer so much
Sanguinius please help your sons
I've listened to this story about three times now. This is the one that made Tyranids really scary for me
For those we cherish, we die in glory.
Cant get taken down if its your own creation... take that GW!
Man, I picked the _wrong_ bedtime story
lol
And i was thinking i was alone but they are more like me :))
@@Divine1Power me three
@@jimraynor1849 wtf :D warhammer are the best bedtimes storys 5 minutes and sleep :D
Bro I know.... So much in encroaching doom
Very very well read
Give the Lamenters some love tho, they do try....
lol they unlucky
they were literally created to be fked with lol
Jesus Christ that was a terrible fate! I never knew that a tyranid invasion would be that horrifying. Amazing work, keep it up!
lol yeah pretty grim
And Ciaphas Cain could recall the horrific times as he survived Tyrannid invasions & insidious manipulations gene stealer cults.
@@jonahtexhex2835 Yeah, Tyranids are not a fun enemy
The moment he said "it's the Lamenters" i laughed hard knowing that would be certainly a lost battle for the Imperium.
is true
Yeah, the Lamentors show up to give their biomass to the hive…
That poor chapter can’t catch a break.. they’re the “red headed stepchild” of the Astartes
This is one of the most "memorable" stories I've ever read. It's one of 3 that have stuck with me since reading this book back in '08.
Whats the other 2?
@nick3777 apothecary's honor and hell in a bottle. I started The Wheel of Time the next year so that took all of my free time the next 2 years.
When you're reinforced by Space Marines but it's the Lamenters
-Astartes have arrived, cool might survive.
-It's the Lamentors, ah they're screwed.
Wow, you are seriously skilled at telling these tales. Well done, and please keep them coming.
Thanks!
Inquisition approved, nonetheless.
For now.
As a guardsman player I felt the relief and salvation when the drop pods were described and the absolute destruction the Lamenters brought with them, for all of 5 minutes, and then the Grim Dark set back in and I realised the great devourer never loses
glad you liked
That was such a great reading of a fucking a epic story! As a guard fanboy it was cool seeing a world fall to Tyranids through their helpless eyes
Brilliant reading my friend. Dan’s story is truly Grim Dark and you conveyed that roller coaster of emotions quite well. The poor Lamentors. The poor Guardsmen. Just absolutely terrible and unspeakable way to die
Agreed
the business end of a Tyranid invasion... wow...
grim lol
Love this story and your narration ABP, interesting to see an early iteration of General Grizmund from the Gaunt’s Ghosts series.
The Black Library work from this period absolutely defined the 41st Millennium for me growing up.
Damn well that was depressing. Everyone got wiped.
as is the way
Welcome to the grim dark
This is truly the grim dark future of the 41st millenia. Dan absolutely nailed it with this one. I will remember it for the rest of my life.
I remember reading this in a white dwarf when the tyrinids were released soooo long ago.
is an old one yeah
You won't see anything terrifying like this for a good while in this modern 40k.
Love this series let the Galaxy burn is by far your best playlist though I enjoy all keep it comin thanks
cheers check out my other playlists for videos
That speech at the beginning is so based.
That intro is woeful, now I see why everyone approved of the new intro!
Poor poor Lamentors. Hate it for em. Great story. The visual description was well written.
Now i remember why this Story is so familiar to me it was in my very first White Dwarf Magazine and the Tyranids gotten(back then) their newest Codex. And when i started doing Warhammer stuff.
Well narrated, awesome story! Great while painting! Thanks so much for posting
cheers!
Xenos? Someone call Morty and Vulkan. Dhey'll get is dun!
doubtful
An impressively grim story and great voice acting!
cheers man
I'm just amazed by the quality of the narration, tyvm
cheers
I read this story fifteen years ago in a tyranid codex.
yeah same, its been reprinted a bunch as well
Great narration! I always manage to visualize the story in my head while listening. thanks for excellent work!
One of my favorite stories! Thanks mate!
cheers!
This was pretty epic though, and was great that it was mordian and the lamenters VS tyranids
In the Grimdark, it is a lucky man who chooses his own death, the Universe almost always chooses for you.
Grimmmmm, Dark..! For sure..!
Be Well, B.P. 😎
Thank you for all those stories! Great job !
cheers!
Can't wait to listen to the next one. I liked and Subbed as soon as the story was over
thanks!
I don't know how I found your channel but damn am I glad I did. Excellent work sir, thank you for your work.
cheers!
This is my first video ive seen of you, youve earned yourself a subscriber and likely a supporter. This was brilliant
thank you man
Defo my favourite warhammer audio reader..keep up the great work..
Ah, this was not a good day for anyone, especially for the Lamenters.
it's never a good day for that sad lot....... /man tears
^this
Well, the nids sure had some fun, and pretty good noms
It was a good day for the Tyranids thro.
13:56 The greatest rant ever had by a Guardsman.
Awesome short story.
its a goody
That was epic. Appreciate the tyranid threat even more now
Oh dear god. This is literally hell
LOL nothing suits the 40k verse better than a good old fashioned northern accent.
great job man
mercia will rise
@@ABorderPrince Mercia? The North? Pfffh, Southern as owt.
LOL well i may as well bne north for this southerners but i hear you northman
@@JZ0UK
Aye, so southern there practically french :)
I think this was the first video of yours I ever heard and it's still my favorite ❤
Dam. One minute a single space marine stands alone against a horde. Then it's half an hour and they are space soup 😅.
One of my favorite Wh40K tales! Really well done, I subbed as i will be spending a lot of time here!! Can you do the Tyranid Wars: The Siege of Iyanden? That was an insanely incredible story, I'm sure you can bring that to life really well!

Thanks!
Great voice work my dude, keep up the good work
thank you
That ending...what happened to the Hydra flakk battery driving ahead? What in Tarnation was that shit raining from the skies that melted armor? Never heard of it before
gone alll gone
o once the nids invade they start to alter the atmosphere turning ther matter into a slurry they can suck up
@@ABorderPrince So basically, the only army you could throw at the oversized bedbugs would be Kriegsmen dancing around in so much gas it'd _eat_ the Tyranid spores before they touched down?
This is my fav story. And also first I had listened by you. I like it a lot!

they unlucky its true
Enjoyed the story. Now that was grim. Well read
I remember reading this story a long time ago. Nicely read though it was a good vid.
Thank you , Prince .
I saw this and I no shit said "oh fuck yeah" out loud.
LOL cheers!
Loving your videos mate keep it up! Thanks.
thanks!
Love this freaking narration
May the God Emperor Bless the Lamenters. they truly need it.
That was Awesome!!!
its a good story
“space marines”
“oh yes!”
“they’re lamenters”
“oh no!”

thanks man

I give thanks to the mighty God Emperor for guiding me to this channel. This was my favorite Tyranid story!
Video is already liked. I'll listen again, I must have been really high the first time. I have zero recollection.😌
Subarashi! Wish I could like again.
lol
You have helped me find a loophole to keep reading this book while having to work lol
your welcome
Man I picked the right bedtime story
lol
This is a great reading!
that was amazing . really getting into these atm
Yo man, are your narrations in playlists? Like an imperial guard, blood angel, word bearer playlists ? Just wondering I’m a bit new and I haven’t a clue ha
Nah I havnt split them up that much I have one main playlist with all narrations in

That was great I wish for more
i think its great what you are doing , i cant wait for the next story . have u ever thought to have a group of peopel reading with you to make your owen audio drama?
That would be pretty amazing.
Ill post the question as many times as I hear new material.....great suggestion.
I will help.
maybe in the future man but at the minute its logisitically not viable for me but we shall see
What a beautiful story. It's a shame nids don't play like this on the table top.
It occurred to me during Small Cogs, that your voice is a match for that of the DoW Guardsman
hahha maybe
This could be a movie…
idk why this appeared in my feed at 6
and i legit thought it said the fall of "malevelon" like from helldivers 2
i should sleep now
great narration
Love that picture
Epic Space marine boxed game.
Partway though I had flashbacks to the movie Platoon..... ahhh shit. (Starship Troopers) sir what do we do, " kill em kill em all"... *gunsounds and monster deaths
whooooooh! my yellow sad boys to the rescue!
lol
Ugh… Nids…
Such horrors these critters are!!
They make the Starship troopers bugs look like tame little aphids..
Loved this, listened to it on my way home from work.
Is there anywhere I could read this for myself? Or is it purely audio?
I like it when the Tyrinids win :-D
Only good bug is a dead bug
Somehow, I strongly feel as if the Tyranids pose a far greater threat than chaos. They are certainly a LOT more terrifying! 😬
My favourite line:
Burn it.
Sees the planet is already overwhelmed with Tyranids and doomed, drops some drop pods with no support or heavy firepower.
I'm beginning to think the Lamenters may be idiots.
