I liked it, it was different and I always appreciate a story from the perspective of a simple Guardsman. WH40k isn't all about metahumans, it's moreso the story of just us humans trying to have a future in a hostile galaxy that wants nothing to do with us. Another great rendition ABP, you do The Emperor's work.
Tough and warrior-like centaur creatures as well as an incredibly hostile fauna ... man, if only the Orks knew about that. They'd abandon their ships and settle down on the planet, fighing endlessly.
This was a great one, I was worried the outcome would be the tragedy of the quadrupeds retaining their faith yet being purged, but our guy pulled through in the end and saved them. A nice bit of noblebright.
@@derigel9783 Yeah, but it wouldn't be as standout in my mind. Most of the time the good guy mutants get killed off, with euphemisms about the Emperor's Mercy seeing them off, which is interesting because it shows the cruelty of the Imperium, but rarely do we get to see honest Imperial servants interact with those post humans or mutants in a peaceful, benevolent way, and when we do it's kind of heart warming.
This was by far the most feel good 40k story I have ever heard regarding morality. Since the aliens(genetically modified humans) who helped the guardsman were not destroyed like every other Xenos or mutant. I wish there were more aliens that could be excepted by humans.Oh well, tis the grimdark I guess. As always AB Prince, fantastic narration!
Shame for the lost STCs and shame for the commissars view on the second pair of legs, would have love to se a abhuman battlesquad of armored centours with heavy weponds, their muscle mass along would be a match for an orc by the sound of it. Thanks for an awesome read Prince.
They could move fellow troops around the battlefield and leap over obstructions. And they clearly have a strong sense of duty and honor. They’d make an excellent addition to the Astro Militarum! Why Ogrens but not these centaurs??
BRUH YOUR A LEGEND , ME & MY WORK MATE'S BEEN LISTENING TO YOU & YOUR STORIES ALL DAY AT WORK TODAY & THANK YOU FOR MAKING OUR DAY FLY A LITTLE EASIER🙉🙈🙊
I find the story depressing. The Centaurmen men were loyal and are mutated less then others brought into the imperium but their circumstances and the fact that have been discovered so late in the timeline of the imperium pretty much dooms them even if they defeat the tribes of the Blood God. They deserve so much more. It's just sad. I love this short story, it made me feel.
They’re like squats but instead of being gravities bitch they made themselves into Astarte sized centaurs and have survived on a chaos infested deathworld for millennia. Also they have a stable breeding population otherwise they’d all be really fucked up mutation wise. So they totally could have been sanctified as Abhumans. Seriously they let fucking beastmen on the front lines for the emperors
Cheers for this! The 4 legged abhumans remind me a bit of my zoagryn (4 legged ogryn conversions). Used the slave ogryn from necromunda + khorne juggernauts, various other bits and a lot of greenstuff
You’re my favorite narrater. Thank you for all that you do, I plan to join your Patreon soon. I listen to 1-2 stories a day and have listened to 1 of your books on Spotify. (Which is my favorite story so far. MAXIM BEROSA IS MY FAVORITE CHARACTER.) Thank you for making my work day bearable and for all the memories ☺️
I mean fair enough, they are in fact humans with 4 legs. It's hard to argue with his assessment. They follow the Imperial faith, they speak human language, and they at least seem a bit more civilized than most feral worlds, if I was an Ordo Malleus inquisitor I'd let them in, they're some of the most civilized mutants I've ever seen. Then again thats probably why I'm not an inquisitor...
Moral ambiguity is sadly lacking in this universe. It is good to see that so.e see grey areas and wider concepts of morality. The thought that all sides in this game are bad guys is a little boring to me so I enjoyed this as well as other stories where we see normal people just trying to survive terrible things, like the Gaints Ghosts stories.
What a nightmare universe this is set in.im not into the 40k universe but I watched some RUclips videos about the space hulks & all other things that live in this universe.what a nightmare
I can understand why Floskan (No idea of the spelling) seems so naive as a gardsman. The writer did say he was from an agri world and it appears, to me, that he is quite new to the ranks of the Guard. So his brainwashing is still slight. Nut enjoyed this one. Thanks
o most recruits wouldnt know anything other how to shoot tbh not much brain washing goes on other than like culturally. guard dont last long no point in it lol
@@ABorderPrince I JUST saw that. Now Im smiling again. Just got into WH40k. And you and Luetin are definitely the best on here. Can I talk you into a Space Wolves story? Lol Great work mate. Great work.
@@iamalpharius9483 be Careful with Luetin, I have had to stop watching his stuff because if you are interested in reading the novels and discovering the mysteries for yourself, Luetin is going to make the discovering for yourself bit a bit hard.
Tbf, the guardsman was pretty sure the STC had been destroyed and had no idea what it was for, and the mutants were loyal worshippers of the emperor who had saved his life multiple times and were fighting chaos. A commissar or inquisitor might have no problem betraying them for a small chance of a usable STC, but I think the average guardsman would have made the same choice.
That was a good one. Very interesting. Wouldnt the Mecanicus produce high g suites instead of geneticaly altering themselves? Seems like a easier solution. Just a thought.
How's does Volsken even know about the dark age of technology, the colony ships sent by Mars, high gravity plannets and how atmospheric re entry causes friction and heat? He's just a Guardsmen from a backwater plannet.
Well it doesn’t mean they don’t have myths about the origins of man. I think that’s fairly common knowledge in the imperium probably taught by the church or just his homeworld remembers stuff.
Amazing Story Prince, courageous Guardsmen, and another failure of a Commissar; to many indoctrinated into the Church for my liking. (Can't spell Imperial word for it, auto-correct keeps fraking with me.)
@@ABorderPrince I am finishing listening to this while eating an omelet I made. This is much better than watching Netflix and suffering from poor digestion because of it haha so cheers for that.
ABorder Prince Warhammer Lore ok! It’s just how the timing is on some of them it’s just a very familiar pause that reminds me of public speakers turning the page of thier speeches
missed a little bit towards the end and did a dodgy edit. hope you enjoy, what a waste of STC stuff for the sake of centors
I liked it, it was different and I always appreciate a story from the perspective of a simple Guardsman. WH40k isn't all about metahumans, it's moreso the story of just us humans trying to have a future in a hostile galaxy that wants nothing to do with us.
Another great rendition ABP, you do The Emperor's work.
And by Terra, he gazed upon a monument to the arch-enemy and didn't pelvis thrust it to death!
Men!!! Four legged men!! Emperor fearing four legged men.!!!
Centaurs be damned!
Really enjoyed this one.
My heart sank a little when those savages just burned the ancient relics...such a sad state of affairs indeed!
*Let the galaxy burn.* :)
No way. Let the galaxy burn is basically impossible to find these days so having someone narrate it is awesome. You've got yourself a subscription.
glad you liked
Let The Galaxy Simmer!
This guardsmen was a good person, too many innocent lives are wasted over fear.
yeah was an intertesting take
Tough and warrior-like centaur creatures as well as an incredibly hostile fauna ... man, if only the Orks knew about that. They'd abandon their ships and settle down on the planet, fighing endlessly.
lol its true, but probs start riding them for the lolz
This was a great one, I was worried the outcome would be the tragedy of the quadrupeds retaining their faith yet being purged, but our guy pulled through in the end and saved them. A nice bit of noblebright.

Even if the ending would have been tragic it would be neither bad nor worse, but just part of the story.

@@rootsnootthnute8598 Agree
Well, seeing this at the top of the comments meant an unwanted spoiler.
This was the first audiobook/reading of a 40k story I ever heard.
Narration and voice were both excellent.
thank you
I didn't expect wholesomeness. Well, wholesome by 40K standards at least.
Guardsman are the real Heros of the Imperium, love such Stories about them!

nah the aliens have betrayed humanity millinia ago. they must be expunged from existence. mankind alone must rule lol
@@ABorderPrince Hahaha!
Quadruped lives matter
the Brummie/Black Country dialect has me constantly coming back for more its so perfect and satisfying for the content of the stories.
So so so good.

@@AnIdiotsLantern word, I kinda like most of the abhumans, wish they were more represented #return of the squats!
Such a great story, very reminiscent of the classic weird tales by Robert Bloch and contemporaries. Thanks for the great narration!

Had to sub... this past days listening to a lot of books... really awesome stuff and a good voice...
Did you hear about that time there was a war in the 40k universe? That was wild.
I know right, so thanks for all the comments will try to reply
Great story. Do love your style of reading
thanks!
Guardsman are not meant to see the big picture. Only what is on the other end of the laz-rifle
exaclty
Great story, great reading.

This is less horrible then the one with the sister of battle and the clone people at least.
