About this listen

Winner of the Readers' Choice Poll.

Hell has come to Hydra Cordatus. A massive force of terrifying Iron Warriors have invaded the planet and laid siege to its mighty Imperial citadel. Can the defenders hold out? And just what do these ancient traitors want with such a seemingly insignificant world?

Listen to it because....

It's one of the true Black Library classics, and one of the first novels to make the bad guys the heroes...and it introduced the mighty Warsmith Honsou, who went on to plague the Ultramarines across plenty of novels. It also pits the Iron Warriors against their oldest foes, the Imperial Fists, which is always a guarantee of quality action.

The story:

On the nightmare battlefields of the far future, few foes spark more fear and dread than the Chaos Space Marines. Nurturing a hatred that is millennia-old, they attack without mercy, spreading terror and destruction in their wake. Now hell has come to Hydra Cordatus, for a massive force of terrifying Iron Warriors, the brutal assault masters of Chaos, have invaded the planet and lain siege to its mighty Imperial citadel. But what prize could possibly be worth so much savage bloodshed and destruction—and how long can the defenders possibly hold out?

Written by Graham McNeill. Narrated by Michael Geary. Approximate running time 11 hours and 4 minutes.

Love the story

Especially guardsman hawk! Had the book for a while and was looking forward to the audio at long last, did not engage with the narrator, I found him not to my taste but I am sure others will like him

A fierce and monsterous anime

The heading of this review was a line in the book. Yes it was pronounced that way. 10/10 best narrator, would sack his duck.

Chaos vs Imperium at it's finest

The characters were compelling, interesting and believable. Especially some if the guard's leadership. Engaging a chaos marine with a blade when you're a mortal human is brave on a new level.

Justice to a classic

Storm of Iron is one of my favourite Black Library books from my first steps into the written lore. It was as much of a pleasure to listen to as it was to read over a decade ago.

Michael Geary really seems to understand the weight of these characters from Honsou, Forrix, Guardsman Hawk, and even the Warsmith, and channels these personalities magnificently. I’d love to hear him read more of the Iron Warriors stories, and even more Chaos Marines books (Word Bearers Omnibus please)

A classic 40K story

The Iron Warriors are perfect in this classic story from the distant mists of 3rd edition 40K. If you love the spiky boys in black and yellow, then this is a must read.

Got board

Bought because Aboarder Prince said it was one of the best book BL had produced. Started well, enjoyed the initial character building but soon became repetitive siege description. When will authors learn dialog moves a story?

A True Storm of Iron Within, Iron Without

A fantastic story that I have listened too several times now without finding it dull at any point, a great voyage alongside the Iron Warriors and their chaotic pursuits.
