LISTEN TO IT BECAUSE

How wild does a painboy have to be to earn the nickname "Mad Dok"? Find out as you follow Grotsnik – with eager scalpel in hand – as he plans his latest galaxy-changing creation. What could it be?

THE STORY

Da Mad Dok Grotsnik, creator of Ghazghkull Thraka, is a painboy beyond legend. What – and who – he harbours in his formidable brain is a mystery to every ork but himself, and an army of orderlies provides him with a constant supply of flesh with which to tinker.

When Grotsnik comes to the aid of Beastboss Bakmun, whose rampage on Hive Prome teeters on the brink of going out not with a Waaagh! but with a whimper, Bakmun can't believe his luck.

Following a series of increasingly unlikely accidents, however, it soon becomes apparent that the Mad Dok is working on something in the depths of his colossal Painwagon. Something big. Something that could change the fate of ork-kind forever, surpassing Grotsnik’s own forging of the Prophet of the Waaagh!…

An Ork book that was more grim than funny.

It's shorter than most Warhammer books, but definitely still worth a credit. Just a warning, it will be over before you know it.

Narration was excellent, did great voice acting

it's still and ork story so keep your expectations realistic. but I think they did a great job of having a narrative from the perspective of hooligans have intrigued and subtlety.

great read for a weak story

Quickly before getting into the negatives, the performance was great and I hope to hear more works with the voice actor involved.

For the negatives, I was hoping to get to see more in depth about Grotsnik in a similar to Ghazkul: Prophet of the Waaagh. The story sadly doesn't focus on the title character that much nor does it feature the fun writing or framing of the Ghazkul book. it is a pretty standard character in a grim situation story that I find in many middle-of-the-road Warhammer stories. not bad if you are looking for more Ork content, but there are better books out there.

Breath of Orky Fresh Air.

After the giant turd that was the Fulgrim book and the middle of the road Charcaradon book, I never expected that a Ork book would be the one with a amazing plot and a good amount of twists. Cannot wait for more books on these characters and the VA is always amazing at voicing Orks. Must read if you do wanna learn more about the extreme side of Orks.

Denny Flowers blows it out of the park again!

I loves Da Red Gobbo’s Demise, and though I was a little hesitant because of the short run time, Flowers did an outstanding job. The story never feels slow or gets too mired in uninteresting subplots. Another must read for anyone who likes Orks or just good Black Library novels in general!
