As above (not sure if this is the right place for it- Mods feel free to move the thread if necessary)

I'll start-

Master of the Hunt: Doomrider- hilarious.

Trials of Azrael: Mainly cause of Kharn's attitude towards Azrael lol. Massive douche.

Accept No Failure: Asmodai's Exterminatus fixes everything attitude and Ghaz's contempt for Belial.

Heart of Rage: Creepy Tyranid stuff going on (if you haven't listened to it, you should. Great stuff)

The First Prince: Ahriman's psyker

measuring contest with a Daemon

**Amoras**

Horus Rising, Flase gods, Galaxy in flames.

They lay the foundation for the whole series.

also:

A thousand sons - fan of the legion

Betrayer - Kharn is awsome and i felt sorry for Angron. He shows he is more thenn a raging beserker.

**BlaxicanX**

The one where Corax is still on Istvaan, due to the lulze factor. Listening to Corax go full-on Arnold Schwarzenegger on Iron Warriors fodder was pretty entertaining.

**angelofvengeance**

It's hard not to feel bad for Angron. His dad let all his friends die on Nuceria. Still a filthy traitor though.

While these are good, I believe the thread is really about the audio exclusives, not just the audio versions of already existing books.

For me, Parting of the Ways, concerning the leaving of Russ and Butcher's Nails are fantastically good and really do their respective primarchs justice.

The Sigillite
It gives a different point of vue of the Emperor when Malcador goes near the Golden Throne.

**Trondheim**

Laberint of Sorrows : Because raven guard + Brazen minotaurs + death guard = Awesome

Butchers Nails : because Angron

Mission Purge : A good short story about the Deathwatch, and nice combat sections too.

The Devil You know : Cain & Jurgen on a jungle death world, what could go wrong?

**Desubot**

Audio drama? well the only one iv heard so far is unremembered empire.

Flipin Scooby do mysteries, and an iron warrior imperial fist bromance.

**EngulfedObject**

Descent of Angels. I loved the delivery of the Prelude, so friggin good!

The Lion's voice sounds kinda dumb though. Horus Rising was pretty good as well.

**Veteran Sergeant**

He's talking about the Audio Dramas, not the audiobook versions of the novels.

I've listened to a handful of them that my buddy picked up. Honestly, most of them are pretty bad. Both in the random and generic sound effects and the fairly poor story quality.

I remember Censure being okay, but feeling like parts of its original script had been edited out that left continuity issues. There was another, and I can't remember what its name was, but it was decent. Mostly because it was a bit of a slow paced dark horror story rather than an action story.

One of the more recent ones, Strategem by Nick Kyme, was a painful reminder of why you don't try to write stories where characters talk about military strategy if you don't know anything about military strategy.

**aclive**

I really enoyed The Glorious Tomb.

Oh, right. I saw Horus Rising mentioned earlier so I got confused.

**Furyou Miko**

Hm, I'd have to say that it would be... Master Imus's Transgression, simply because the voice acting is so spot on.

**angelofvengeance**

Yeah the Eisenhorn stuff is quite awesome. Even if he is a colossal douche in that one Furyou lol.

**Furyou Miko**

What do you expect, he's just a baby Interrogator.

Really, the whole case was most perturbatory...

**sing your life**

I haven't listened to any BL audio dramas, what would you guys recommend for starting out?

**angelofvengeance**

Suppose it depends on what tickles your fancy really? Which armies do you run?

Find one relevant to your army, would be my suggestion!

I liked the Long Night. The thing I love about ADB and the Night Lords is how they know they're cruel and yet carry on, and sometimes even try to find redemption in their own eyes.

Yeah, the one where befriends the girl.

**angelofvengeance**

@Wyzilla: You should listen to The Watcher. Pretty good Night Lords stuff. It's only a short story though.

**Lord Lorne Walkier**

Legion of One is by far the best Audio BL has done. Cerberus in a rage gave me chills.
