About this listen
A Warhammer Horror Story
Follow in the footsteps of Rudgard Howe, an enforcer cadet who, while on their first mission and embroiled in an embittered succession battle back home, uncovers a heinous sanguinary cult....
Listen to it because: in the grim darkness of the far future, horror lies in the most unlikely of places, as a routine investigation becomes something all the more sinister.
The story: on the capital world of Potence, young enforcer cadet Rudgard Howe is caught up in a bitter internecine feud to inherit his father's position of chief enforcer. As the tithe fleets approach, he is sent on his first mission to ensure that the planet's distant agri-facilities fulfil their quotas to the god-emperor. Farmed with serfs and managed by ex-Militarum soldiers, the agri-facilities are places of shocking brutality and hopelessness. But when he is sent to the outlying farmstead of Thorsarbour, Rudgard discovers a community where the crops are left to rot as the inhabitants indulge in the bloody ecstasy of a sanguinary cult. As Rudgard imposes the strict Lex Imperialis upon the farmstead, he begins to uncover a place where sanity is rapidly slipping. Just a single step into his nightmarish mission though, a series of cruel deaths threatens to dismantle everything he has ever known about the Imperium, his faith in the emperor and the strength of his very soul.
Written by Justin D Hill. Narrated by Matthew Hunt.

review
i think the ending to this title is very hit or miss depending on how you like the use of cosmic horror in 40k stories but personally i loved the more muted use of demonic terror and that the true evil of the story is left a mystery to an extent, compared to stories like "no way out" where the warp born horror is although not explained but definitely de-mystified as it directly interacts with characters i found the ending of this to be better as the evil isn't directly faced or even seen, regardless i found it to be a thoroughly well written and gripping 40k title

Fantastic story, predictable plot.
Really well performed however it suffers from what a lot of GW horror suffers, foreshadowing to the point the plot become predictable. Really well written bar that point.

Best 40K farming story
I feel the horror is normally lacking in all these stories, however they give a great insight in to the lives of normal citizens in the imperium and I will keep listening for this reason.
