About this listen

Piamen is a tranquil world in the far reaches of the galaxy. Since throwing off the yoke of alien invaders, they have remained free and peaceful...until the coming of the Imperium. When they refuse to join mankind's star-spanning empire, a force of Legiones Astartes is despatched to bring the planet to compliance. And when the Night Lords come, darkness falls. Piamen will never be the same....

Very good, but very dark

love the voice acting which complimented the gritty and dark story... it's almost a horror book but just brilliant crafted story

Grim Dark at its finest

For a 25 minute story it has a lot in it. Curze and his Night Lords forging a compliance is the usual unconventional ways. Voice acting for each character was grand and the effects just add that little extra level of gruesome to an already gruesome story. An iconic Night Lord's story told perfectly. Loved it.

Short but sweet

This story is a wonderful insight into the extreme, terrifying compliance action of loyalist Night Lords duting the great crusade. It is not suitable for children or the faint hearted. Great performance and well worth half an hour of your time.

A short, brutal and bloody story of the VIIIth

I do love the Nightlords and their Primarch. It just shows you what they can do in such a short space or time.

Evil batman at his best

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
A weak Horus Heresy Primarchs short without much character depth. Nothing that wasn't told before far more effectively. That being said. the performance and atmosphere was top notch, making a burnable read into a passable audio experience!

Shallow in character but Deep in atmosphere
