So good! Must get you to narrate Valraks life story xD
It would be a honour sir
Give Vox in the Void a YT shout-out, Valrak! His channel deserves to be up there with the greats!
@@thewolfpoet 💪
@@AVoxintheVoid real quick, I think you should put 'Iron Warriors' in the title (and add tags in the description) - also, sorry for not being active on the Discord; YT is simply my favorite platform to communicate on
@@thewolfpoet I'll get on it
For Perturabos NEXT order,
His legion was made to use baby seals as clubs to beat puppies and kittens to death.
*Between sobs and wet spacking sounds* "They're too fat... the blubber is making this impossible."
The Sergeant's last sacrifice to his men was not crying out, not undermining their resolve. From Honor cometh Iron.
People seem to forget how impactful was the order of Decimation, at this point of the Great Crusade, the idea of Astartes killing Astartes was still an impossibility, brotherhood and the heroism of their endeavor was still vivid in most of the legions, was hard even to a Space Marine kill another Space Marine from another legion, the action was even worse when it was limited to ones of the same legion in such a slow manner.
This was more than a punishment, much more than that.
This was Perturabo Martyr Complex at its peak
Hear me, Perturabo always felt used and any love he felt was only because of his usefulness until the Emperor found him.
Then He found his Legions, hundreds of thousands of warriors that literally loved him almost unconditionally.
He had what he wanted, and what he did?
Decimation.
Why?
To expunge himself of the same weakness he expunged from his sons.
To show that he was willing to do anything for his Father, anything.
To become truly the Lord of Iron that The Emperor needed.
Dunno man, this decimation thing always sounded like the authors needed to make Peter Turbo bad from the start, if the guy is all smart and stuff, he wouldn´t do such things u know.
@@arieskiller1567 no if you read about him and understand him, you'll understand that this is what his character is like. So smart yet stupid. So cold and calculating yet so emotional. He thinks he's so smart and cold hearted that any decision he makes is because he has to and never takes his emotions into account because he doesn't even realise it is affecting his very decisions. Perturabo is so perfect yet so flawed man, he's an amazing character from a book stand point
Perterabo. Ever the petulant manchild- Dorn
Angron seems to have thought it was a competition, and he wanted the high score.
New Iron Warrior: “Can I have a different Primarch, please? Mine’s bonkers.”
Sure you can have Angron. Hahahahaha
@@spacemanx9595that’s some monkey’s paw shit right there
"Is this the weakness our primarch seeks to expunge from our hearts?" That part gave me chills. Another classic. Thank you
Thankyou Steve! Really kind of you to say
If the IV was able to do this, and overcome their emotions and be Iron...they are the most terrifying Legion of all. To be that cold and calculating, there is very little that can stop the Iron Warriors...the Emperor truly lost a great force when they turned.
Bah- if that is their goal they where never going to be anything after the war, if they even make it that far, this is a cold, and worthless action, you’ve inflicted 10% casualties for *no reason* this Sargent was apparently a great man, and ever lessen learned here could have been learned actually winning a war, and achieving something. By killing a random 10th of their legion all you have done is convinced your men that they are not men, but tools, tools don’t have a reason to fight, and so will fail.
The romans learned that brutality didn't work.
The Romans weren't magic psykers@@Daniel-bh4fg
@@spacemanx9595Didn't work for the "magic psykers" either. Killing a tenth of your own troops, even if you only view them as assets, is just stupid. That's what your enemy would like to pull off without firing a shot. Don't do it yourself. Perturabo was a cool character but killing your own sons is incredibly dumb for someone so smart.
@@kinnusai4432Well, they’re going to find out later after the HH is well over, that culling your troops and allowing them to fall to Chaos was a truly asinine thing to do. And will come back to bite them hard.
For them to be iron, they had to sacrifice whatever that bound them to their humanity. They denied their own existance so the rest would not. They undertook the most grueling of the fights so that the rest would not, they didn't complain so that you would not.
They we're the heroes of the Imperium, the ones they did not deserve. For they we're something more than men. They we're iron within, and iron without.
*From Honor, Cometh Iron*
*All hail the IV'th!*
We are iron
If you think that is grim, try being a Son of Malice.
I was lucky enough to narrate a sons of malice excerpt on the amber kings channel. Truly grim dark
@@AVoxintheVoid you have the voice.
Greetings everyone; I've finally got around to making a YT account - mostly so I can answer questions on TH-cam regarding my 40K stories Paul has so graciously hosted on this channel. I am the author of 'Choices' (Black Legion), 'Decimation' (pre-Heresy Iron Warriors), 'No Good Deed' (Lamenters), 'Decent of the Angel' (Blood Angels/Sangiunius) and the upcoming 2-part Night Lords story currently in production.
I will be as active in the comments section of my stories as much as my job allows (my social media presence is virtually non-existent, which is how I prefer it, as I am a very private person) so I can respond to questions/critiques. I'm glad my stories have been so well received by the Vox in the Void community and I look forward to sharing more 40K tales with you all in the near/far future
~ Ave Imperator, T.T
Hey Tod, super happy you're here now! Finished recording the first part today and will be editing over the weekend. Gonna have fun with this one!
Have as much fun as you want 😆 I know you'll do the story justice...and again I apologize for all the revisions 😩 a writer's work is never done
Thanks for the reminder...I'll re record the last line from mr.zarr tomorrow...
All I can think about is a bunch of Iron Warriors, these massive, hulking superhuman warriors clad in power armor, waiting around a table watching one of their brothers spin on of those little bingo ball machines.
Lightens the tone a little
wheeeeeeeeeeeeee
How Big E didn’t say “hey, knock it off” is beyond me.
He was the first to defend Perturabo Decimating his legion
Guilliman actually threw a fit when he found out about the decimation...their Legions had served together in the past and if I remember correctly he personally knew some of the warriors that were killed...
@@thewolfpoet Is that written in any published book? I would love to read about it.
I read it on the 40k wiki, I haven't actually read Perturabo's primarch novel yet so maybe it is mentioned there too
@@thewolfpoet In the Book doesn´t talk about the decimation, as it ends with Perturabo Reuniting with the Emperor.
More than other primarchs. Perturabo understood that Astartes were not human. They were tools built and conditioned to fight the emperors crusade. No more human than the bolters in their hands or the armour around their bodies. The lord of iron realised he had to shatter this illusion of humanity to allow his legion to reach its full potential.
In sacrafice of what the Emperor wanted them to be though. We all know that the Emperor didn't mind for the Astartes to be used the way Primarchs like Perturabo did, because they were certainly weapons yes. But the Salamanders? The Blood Angels? That was truly his vision for the Astartes. Noble warriors, the protectors and guardians of humanity. Humanity. Something many of the Primarchs forgot
@Kade Cooper That's what he started out as yes. But he jumps from that, to referring to the Primarchs as his "Sons". Something Malcador picks up on during the book Master of Mankind and just kinda points it out. Same thing happens during one of the Siege of Terra novels where he speaks to Mal and says that chaos took his sons from him and he's really mad and sad about it. I mean the whole reason Horus wounded him so bad was because he let him and didn't want to kill his boy. A father killing his son isnt right, Big E knew that...
@paladindanse2989you must be a dorn boy
It's always bothered when people, especially those who supposedly have military knowledge, constantly misuse the term Decimation. It's refreshing to see it used in all it's horrific accuracy.
*Sees the notification*
*Run to the laptop*
*Slams the like button announcing frantically* SIEGE!!!
Crazy to think Romans actually did that.
Anyone remembers how Perty can constantly see the eye of terror.
I wonder how that effects the mind
Loyalty In Iron - There is little to be found in flesh
Iron is weak it will Rust, Flesh endures
@@legionofthedamned157 >Defend flesh. Be of the Legion of the Damned, chose one.
I have watch bastion shatter under my iron boots, armies shatter and flee by my unrelenting attacks and I know no regret and yet when I look at my hands I can still see my brothers blood. I will bearer his blood on my hands to remind me of my iron resolve
@ThyPeasantSlayer this is not tragedy This is our test of our bloody salvation and the furnace in which we are formed. We are iron, nothing breaks us, nothing stops us, death is another part of life for us
I just got a job as a manager at McDonald’s, this is going to be my first McTask™️©️®️ of the day. Decimation, there’s only ten employees so there gonna pull straws and they’re gonna get this done as a team. I’m excited
How to traumatize a space marine in one easy step.
PTSD within!
PTSD without!
😂
Absolutely!
Haha!
Yeah, purterabo is a fool.
Underrated comment. I laughed. Thank you!
@@The_Murder_Party A competant fool
Damn...that was a punch to the gut...I think outside of friendly-fire incidents and honor-duels, this was the very first time Space Marines deliberately killed each other in large numbers. And it was their own *primarch* who ordered them to do it, and in the most personal, visceral way possible. That squad of Iron Warriors were Terran-born and had likely served together for decades, if not for a century...and now they must beat to death the man who had led them for so long...I can't even imagine the psychological damage that must have caused...very brutal and grimdark; excellent production, Vox. You can voice Space Marines like no other. Time to go listen to 'Choices' and 'RUST' again...
Also, imagine that this Iron Warrior is the same one who fights/beats the Lamenter in the 'Don't Go' story. It would certainty explain his attitude and actions towards an Astartes whose actions and creed are in complete opposition to his own
If the they had the same author, this could very well be.
Not the same author, Tod wrote 'Choices', another fantastic piece of writing.
This made me think of Dantioch for some reason. 😢
Absolutely Brilliant!
Decimation then decimation,regardless of rank & honors seems a rather wasteful order,but cold was the Lord of Iron.
I could taste the mixed and conflicted thoughts & emotions of the Iron Warriors tasked with purging their own battle brothers,marvelously creative & believably narrated!
Thanks Vox,you do not disapoint!
May the Emperor Protect,Protect fan made content channels from GWs attempts of decimation!
It would be soul crushing to be in this legion. To only have ones purpose as a tool of war. Thank you for reading this!
True space marines.
i would adore to hearing you do 'storm of iron'
I don’t know why- but the Iron Warrior narrations stand above the rest-
They seem to resonate with me also. I was never a huge fan of the iron warriors when I was growing up, but they have quickly become one of my favourite factions in the universe
Agreed/Similar experience.
Do you have further plans to visit Iron Warriors narrations? And do you accept submissions?
I haven't got any as of yet in the pipeline. How about you jump on the discord (links in the description) there are a few other writers on there that like to bat ideas around ☺️
Man.. Is I absolutely love your work.
This was brutal and all the more reason why I loved the 4th legion.
Amazing writing brutally brought to life. Another fantastic narration!
'FistBump'
Brutal...
Glorious...
Cruel...
What a amazing tale. The type of stories I wish we could read, we could see more of, right here. Amazing. I have no words, orther than...
Iron Within, Brothers. Iron Without.
Great story and narration as always, keep up the great work!!!
As I listen to these stories I always wonder how a battle between the Iron Warriors and the Death Korps of Krieg would play out
Now that would make one brutal narration
Truly beautiful in its tragedy. I weep for the Iron Warriors since they are not even allowed the courtesy to weep for themselves.
Masterful story!! I adore this legion and you make them a great service by bringing in such quality content to live!
The story is heart-breaking and yet so good to explore the mentality of The 4th Legion.
I do feel sorry for them thinking this will endear them to Perturabo.
Thank you so much for this!!
P.S: My contributions to this channel are in the works. The Word Bearers story is shelved for the time being as I wish to explore another idea to pitch to this channel. More soon. Let me know if you'd like me to email you the outline I have.
I can't wait to see what you come up with brother!
I wonder if Peturabo looked at his order of decimation and then looked at the psycho World Eaters who had done the same thing and though "Do I REALLY want to be like Angron?" or if he just didn't know. BTW Decimation is actually made up of two chunks for those who didn't know. Deci meaning 10 or 10% and ation meaning denoting an action. So decimation means to destroy 10%. The Romans liked this little punishment until they realized it was doing more harm than good.
That was absolutely brutal and chilling. Killing one of your own for no crime or failure. Doing it in the most visceral manner possible. Living with yourself afterwards. Strengthened but broken all in the same instant.
Was pretty damn extreme...even for the grimmest of dark
@@AVoxintheVoid It certainly was! Really captured the breaking of his soul and his simultaneous re-forging into a weapon lacking that last shred of humanity. The trauma of that event was absolutely vivid. All three of the stories in this series have been excellent. I’m definitely going to listen again. I’m leaning heavily towards this one being my favorite.
Thank u for this , the way u make character come alive is beyond amazing bro
Thankyou Shane! Too kind
😢 ❤
I thought of Dantioch in this for some reason..... all the sorrow and rage. And I can't stop crying
Happy iron warriors day!
Powerful
Many thanks Jamie
Brutal. Great voices too.
Thanks Nicholas. Strangely enough I didn't even register truly how brutal this was until I listened through again during the premiere...my kind of story!
Actually have time for these... i can binge listen and paint. Thanks
Enjoy sir! Let me know which was the best one to paint to!
A wonderful performance!
Decimation of the the 4th: Irony within, Irony without.
Sounds like Angron a little. This story breaks my heart
Meanwhile Angron: "You didn't meet my insane timetable. Decimation."
Two weeks later "You didn't meet my insane timetable. Decimation."
Two weeks later...
The best narrator for an astartes/primarch hands down
You're far too kind my friend 🤘
That's wow, the dogs bollockes, loved it, impressed
Many thanks Lee 💪
...I will not shrink from carrying out...
This epic narration lays bare the fact that Imperial Fist fanboys like Chapter Master Valrak are wrong. IRON WITHIN! IRON WITHOUT!
Just when I thought I couldn't hate Perturabo any more deeply.
I am fortifying this comment section
Damn, this is some good writing.
Dude I love your narrations. These are awesome 😎
Very much appreciated. Glad to have you here
Talk about heartbreaking
Brutal. Metal. Iron.
Ten whole minutes of quality reading! Perfect after having binged the lord if the rings and the hobbit movies for the past several days.
Thankyou sir. Glad you enjoyed it ☺️
This was awesome
Holy crap, it’s insane to see the difference in humanity and the marines how quickly he simply rationalized it mere seconds after beating his co to death with his barehands
Thank you brother!! IRON WITHIN!!
IRON WITHOUT
Iron within Iron without
Absolutely fantastic
Thankyou sir ☺️
@@AVoxintheVoid no, thank you very much
From iron cometh strength no mercy 💪
We are iron
soooo good!
Another great narration.
Many thanks Jonathan! And another great heap of thanks for joining sir!
This really displays how grimderp warhammer can sometimes be.
I understand the themes and emotions this is meant to create, but its impossible to seperate the story from the absurdity of killing 10% of your own millitary for no reason.
The sheer insane amount of resources it took to create all those supersoldiers, the campaigns those tens of thousands of space marines could have fought and won for Perturabo, all thrown away in a few minutes for zero gain.
No wonder they lost the war.
Well, that was God damned depressing.
I need a blanket because that was cold.
Sometimes it do be like that
Lmao
Based
oh my god.....
Hopefully this is a good reaction!
@@AVoxintheVoid GIVE ME MORE!/PLEASE STOP! 40k is like that =D
So good
Thankyou my friend
Sry was away.....god damn I Luv it
No worries my man! Glad you enjoyed it sir!
Audio dramas for the Audio drama God for he cares not were the story flows from as long as it flows !!!!
!!!!! A VOX IN THE VOID !!!!!
🇨🇦🙏🙉🙈🙊🙏🇨🇦
Iron within
Whatever they doing to the sergeant they gave him a brutal death
They did indeed. Horrible way to go
This shows how they headed down the path they did. 10:21 becoming a traitor legion.
Not much to say. Great sound and great story!
💪
Here
Is
Awe
Im just surprised the emperor allowed this to happen lol
The emperor allowed angron to implant his whole legion with the nails... The emperor wasn't keeping tabs on everyone
@@spacemanx9595 exactly it's surprising he wouldn't take notice especially after trying to surgically remove his nails.
Poor Petty Cry Bo throwing a tantrum and taking it out on his sons. Well presented and told story.
War is blind…
Iron within iron without !
Great story! Hard to listen to, but War us uncaring. Iron within, iron without. It's worse it was done with fists.
insane glazing
I'm an author who writes for royal guard publishing. A quick audible search will show I'm legit. Are you taking on narration work outside of youtube?
Hi Marcus. Thankyou for considering me. If you could send some more details through to avoxinthevoid@gmail.com we could discuss things further
Clear evidence Perturabo has never read 'Extreme Ownership'...an ancient text most of the Primarchs would have done well to study.
Is this a Christopher Lee voice mimic program or is this your actual voice?
This is my voice mate! I've never been likened to Christopher Lee, I'll take it as a compliment!
Perturabo can take a short seat on a long chainsword...
Hey..he might enjoy it
Can anyone tell me which book the Decimation actually happened in?
I jus got an accout on buy me a coffee how do I find u on there not sure to use it at all
I have a link in the description ☺️
The Primark the squad kill and beat the sergeant to death and I think he did that on purpose
Does anybody know what emojis or text style or whatever I need to download to see what the names of these videos are? Everysingle video is spelt with the boxes with the cross to me lol
Hey! I'm sorry to hear you can't read the titles. That's never good. I've only had one other guy mention this problem before and it was something to do with his device as it worked on another computer.
@@AVoxintheVoid ahh great, well maybe as I am using an old blackberry priv. Oh well, thanks for the lightning fast reply!
@@jello__0113 pleasure my friend
So close, yet not Iron.
The Son who kills his father. is the one Perturabo would aknowledge.
nothing else. malfunctioning tools.
... oh no...
What's with all fist simps in the comments go hide on your walls what are you doing here..lol Iron Within!
