Ciaphas Cain short story "Traitor's Gambit"

An unofficial fan-made audio recording of the short story "Traitor's Gambit" by Sandy Mitchell. From "Defender of the Imperium."
Edit: I've heard the comments about the volume, and I think I know what to do to fix it. Thanks for you comments and your patience. This is, after all, a learning process for me. And eventually I will redo this one. Eventually.

The idea of a commissar "Waagh!!" Is amazing

[@davidroetman3168]

Only issue I notice is the audio is a bit low. I crank up my volume to listen

[@esaedvik]

This and on some he's clearly too far away from the mic, so there's a massive room echo. Other than that, these are great.

[@migarsormrapophis2755]

Your voice is great, especially for Cain, love the narration!

[@topcatcoast2coast579]

Nice work!!! I love these Indy read audiobooks. You have a good cadence to your narration too bro!

[@hislightness]

Thank you for taking your time reading these. While there are big youtube channels out there doing thw same with a huge following, I think your voice and style really fits these amusing storys of our beloved Commissar

It s kinda sad Cain had to part with the 597th, after all those yearst with Brocklaw, Kasteen, Sulla and the other characters. I liked them a lot.

[@whyisthisnottyping]

My favorite was sulla she was awesome

[@moodyowlproductions4287]

Things change..get use to it...and yearst?

[@danniluxgarbe429]

I mean... of his time with the 301/296th amalgamated Valhallans, there's at least ten years of the Cain Archives that Inquisitor Vail can draw from, but has yet to filet and prepare for publication. We still need the full story of Jinxie and the ration tin, and I don't think they've more than touched on his time with the 597th on Kastafore.

[@jonbauml225]

Cain stories are always so fun

[@neilwales3806]

Yes more volume please m8

[@briansaum9637]

I agree great reading only volumes very low

[@jorisvandeneijnde215]

thanks for the upload. Louder volume would be sweet

[@hansjohannsen6722]

My favorite character of the pathetic imperium. You will get off my lawn.

[@jonpato]

Thank you so much for this! I will never get enough of The Emperor's favourite commissar.

[@dfly27485]

What an absolute GigaChad of the imperium

[@JeanLucCaptain]

Cain needs to get embedded in a unit of Kreig. I want to see him talk them out of a what to him is obviously stupid and suicidal assault. The entire time the Kreigsman just looking at him in silence with only the increased gas mask breathing showing them about to execute a coward 😂

[@danniluxgarbe429]

We've actually already seen what happens. In The Greater Good, While on Fecundia, the only Guard units that could patrol the wastes outside the hives were the Death Korps, so when his shuttle crashed, a Death Korps squad diverted to retrieve him and Jurgen. They were nice enough to give him a gas mask from a fallen member of the squad, and the closest thing to denigration they engaged in was a suppressed chuckle at the fact that Cain isn't adept in UNarmored Calvary maneuvers(that is to say he isn't great at riding a horse) until they returned him to a passing Mechanicus vehicle that would take him the rest of the way to civilization.

[@adhdasian1896]

Louder volume fs, but I was going to sleep on it so hidden bonus

[@depoittier]

Thanks for making this! I look forward to more!

A Interaction for the Interaction God, a Comment for the Comment Throne, for the Almighty Algorithm

[@madderhat5852]

All praise to the Algorithm.

[@jamesnurgle6368]

this sounds like a really good reading but I'm afraid I agree with some of the other comments, I just can't quite hear. hitting a subscribe for the next one though :)

[@skywatcheradept]

There is a group of new Horus Heresy short stories that don't have any adiobook yet:
The Lightning Hall (Imperial Knights vs. Traitor Mechanicum on Mars)
Embers of Extinction (Perturabo after the disastrous Battle of Phall)
Amor Fati (Recently resurrected, Lord Commander Eidolon of the Emperor’s Children reeling from his first death at the hands of Fulgrim)
The Shel'tain Affair (Sisters of Silence investigation)
Fields of Abundance (Typhon mentors Legionary Nevak, opening his eyes to the "glories" of corruption and the exultation of massacre)
- it would be great if you did one of these!

[@ptonpc]

I liked the narration.

[@madderhat5852]

Thank you for another fun tour.

[@johngillan4475]

Yes on my phone I found the audio a bit low

[@darkdarklighting]

I was surprised Jurgen didn't have some glasses or a tin cup on him.

[@orthoff123]

Danke!

[@johnlansing2902]

Thank you .

[@ged72000]

Keep them coming. Got any more Cain novels plans?

[@Prof_Dr_col]

Cain is in a 3v1: "The odds hardly seemed fair." (in his favor)

[@savagepatty]

Love your work. You 100% should do the warhammer dark blade series.

[@tymboslice6044]

Thanks

[@GeorgeOrwell-yz6zx]

Cain is my favorite 40k hero. Subbed

[@warhawk4494]

Audio waaaay to low. Otherwise good work

[@bombsquig]

Would be nice if I could hear it.

[@chikinhok]

too quiet

[@AncientRylanor69]

[@Dangerpurple]

So quiet

[@southernpovertycallcentere8373]

This is warhammer 40k die hard lol

[@MrHouseparty6]

-1ea.

[@kasperhenriksen4054]

for the deaf noise marines in these comments, put on some headphones and turn up the volume lmao

[@chainsawsubtlety9828]

Some of us chose to serve in the military.
Sometimes, if you are in the military, you have to fight.
Fighting is loud.
Considering what some have given, asking for decent audio at a reasonable volume is not much to ask.

[@kasperhenriksen4054]

@@chainsawsubtlety9828 Entitled much? Stfu dude
