Warhammer - Kingsblade - Audio book - read by Christopher Tester (Heinrix VA)

So, maybe everyone except me has already seen it, but Kingsblade, which is the first of two books from Andy Clark (the second one is called Knightsblade) about Imperial Knight Pilots and the noble houses of Adrastapol is available as audio book - and read by Christopher Tester.

So if you like to learn more about Imperial Knight Pilots and listen to Heinrix's voice - this might be for you!

I have read both and I definitely recommend reading them - and while I am normally not one for audio books, having it narrated by Chris is definitely making me going to listen to it.

I'm just gonna post it here because sometimes you need good voice acting. And cats. :)

Here’s a Weshammer video from over a year ago that I just remembered today where Chris Tester provides a voiceover.

Rogue Trader - Heinrix voiced lines for mobile phone etc.

I have asked Christopher Tester on cameo to read some lines to be used as alerts and ring tone on mobile phones (or other devices). The video (if you like to watch him) is here (google drive - you might need to get the app for this).

In case this is interesting for you:

He was already so kind to provide the single files as mp3 and I converted them for iPhones to mr4.

Both formats are available here.

Here are the texts:

Ringtone

Lord Captain, we don't have much time - there is an incoming vox call for you. I assure you, this is not a corrupted vox cast. According to preliminary data, it seems to be important and the Inquisition requires your cooperation in accessing this information. Allow me to remind you that you are under orders from the Lord Inquisitor to provide support in deeds great and small that serve to safeguard our interest – well, this is it. Are you really sure you can allow yourself to not accept this call? By the throne, can you please respond to the vox call? What will it take for you to finally act? This ends now, Rogue Trader.

New voicemail

Rogue Trader, I have discovered a vox recording that might be of shared interest for us both.

New SMS

Lord Captain, I happened to be present when the astropaths received a new message. I have already decrypt it for you, no thanks required.

New Email

Lord Captain, I was asked to deliver this letter to you. I would ask you to read it as soon as you find the time.

Calender event/reminder

Lord Captain, something very important is about to happen. Steel yourself and be prepared. Trust me - you do not want to miss it.

Christopher Tester (Heinrix VA) voice acting a part of my fanfiction Immortalium.

It is a scene that isn’t posted yet that follows the game event in act 4 where the Rogue Trader can disappear again on a companion quest (spoiler for the companion below and in the video).

While sadly not in the game, I think we can imagine the emotions Heinrix must be going through at this moment:

He is angry with himself, that he wasn't able to prevent this from happening, angry with whoever is responsible for the Rogue Trader to disappear

He is emotionally hurt and in great pain as he just lost the woman (again), that he fell in love with

The sheer helplessness that he can't do anything to help her come back

There are moments where he clinges on hope and where he tries to keep control over his emotions, to distance himself from the pain like he always does

He is remorseful over things he said and did that hurt her, and the missed opportunities to make it right (this is specific for my fanfic)

The voiced scene is Heinrix trying to write a letter to his beloved Rogue Trader, even if his words might never reach her. While writing, he voices his thoughts about the whole ordeal.

I hope you enjoy Christophers very emotional performance as much as I did:

The whole text (as I mentioned, this is while he is trying to write a letter):

“Dear… no.”

“Lord Captain...”

“I... I lost you.”

“And now we are dragged against our will along the unpredictable currents of the warp, unable to steer a path of our own, to break away into realspace once again, a plaything of volatile forces. But we shouldn't even be here, it wasn't planned and the usual protocols and rituals were not done. What were you and Lady Cassia doing in the sanctum? Why was no one else informed? What were you hiding? Would you have told me if things had been different between us?”

“No. No! Right on this ship, right under my nose ... what am I not seeing?”

“Gone. How many hours have I spent in front of this accursed painting, looking for a sign, a trace, wondering if something would drag me through it like it did with you? Granting me relief by uniting me with you or a slow death of agony in the horrors of the warp.”

“Nothing. Despite everything I tried, everything I did, all the investigations, interrogations...can you believe that I even asked Idira for help, to listen to the voices in the warp against my better knowledge and judgement, still leaving me with nothing that brings me closer to you, to help you return.”

“What good is the authority of my position, years of experience that refined my skills and abilities, all my collected knowledge, even my sorcery, if it can't help me protect or save the one who matters most to me?”

“Trap after trap after trap we went through - with open eyes. Even the one I knew was coming. Whatever happened now, took me by complete surprise. It shouldn't have.”

“I can't sleep and I am too tired to think clearly anymore. I am at a loss.”

“No. Focus, van Calox. I won't give up - there must be an explanation, a solution, a better way than just waiting for another miracle to happen. I have to do something, anything to bring you back. It can't end like this.”

“Every day can be the last … I learned this lesson far too well – why didn't I act like it? Letting valuable time run through my fingers as if we had eternity to spend. As if there was for sure a tomorrow to tell you what I need you to know, to make things right, to get another chance to hold you, to be with you.”

“I only ever wanted to protect you. I failed. Again. Trying to keep you safe but all I accomplished was to push you away and to hurt your feelings in the process. I was blinded by revenge against the Xenos, for all the pain and suffering they had inflicted upon us. By my concern and fear it could happen again. If I had done things differently maybe... but now it's too late.”

“Hope. How often is it used as a tool, perverted in a cruel attempt to increase the pain of suffering? I have seen it countless times. Did it myself. And yet, it is all I have left. I hope for your safe return. For another chance for both of us, one I would dare not waste again.”

“Commoragh. We returned, against all odds. Maybe we were just pawns in a game of gods. I like to believe the Emperor watched over us in this forsaken place. I hope he still watches over you and helps you return once more, wherever you are. Because I, apparently, can't.”

“Please come back to me.”
