Blackshields: The Horus Heresy, Book 3

By: Josh Reynolds

Narrated by: Gareth Armstrong, John Banks, Steve Conlin, Toby Longworth, Richard Reed, David Seddon

A Horus Heresy audio drama

Hounded by the Sons of Horus and betrayed by his second in command, Blackshield Endryd Haar must enact his riskiest gamble yet if he is to fulfil his oath to kill the traitor Warmaster Horus.

Following on from Red Fief, it's another fascinating look at a band of Space Marines who have forsaken loyalty to either side in the Heresy, trying to forge their own destiny.

Hounded by the Sons of Horus, legendary Blackshield Endryd Haar battles enemies from within and without his ranks. Betrayed by his second in command, Erud Vahn, Haar finds himself imprisoned and facing a slow death. Determined to escape and stay one step ahead of the traitors, Endryd must enact his riskiest gamble yet if he is to fulfil his oath to kill the Warmaster Horus.

Running time 70 minutes. Performed by Gareth Armstrong, John Banks, Steve Conlin, Toby Longworth, Richard Reed & David Seddon

I think they actually hit a stride with this one.

This is perhaps the most interesting one of these boackshields audio dramas by a far shot. Still not a big fan of the sound effects but they weren’t as overwhelming with this one.

Another great Black Shield audio drama

if you listened to the first two there will be no surprise that you will love this. But if you haven't listened to the first two it's honestly not that hard to jump Into with figuring out who the characters are is rocket science. it's a all around great listen for it's fantastic audio performance (in both the voice acting and the back ground noice), and it's simple yet effective story put Into a hour. must listen for any fan of sci-fi, action adventure, and obviously Warhammer.

Cool

The last entry of the Blackshields trilogy following Endryd Harr and his band of “pirates”. This audio drama can be listened to without listening to the previous two entries. However, gaining the full experience makes this last entry all the more potent considering the character arcs of Harr, Varn and others.

Harr is fascinating as he has killed individuals from both sides of the Heresy. And yet, he adapts to a changed galaxy and continues his quest to kill Horus. Naturally, the Riven Hound finds ideal targets of his wrath in Horus' sons.

Side note: the Sons of Horus can be very vindictive it seems...

Do you hear the thunder?

Absolutely love these dramas. Can’t wait for more of Haar! Love the added bits of lore.

Endryd Haar the Legend

No Horus Heresy character is as interesting as Endryd Haar! A Thunder Warrior made an astartes and turned into a renegade with the sole purpose of butchering the Warmaster. More stories are needed for this glorious Warhound!
