Oldex

Did they pick this storyline up elsewhere? A schism in the Adeptus Mechanicus caused by a necron worshipping sect? A great piece in 3rd. ed. Codex Necrons, both in terms of presentation and the possibilities it opens. You don't get many characters in these stories as the fiction is so short, so it's nice to be able to do three separate characters in one piece. There's part where the interrogating...

One of the things I love about necrons is how they take inspiration from great Earth mysteries, thus suggesting that they were responsible for them millenia ago. In this piece by Phil Kelly he links the necrons to the Orion correlation theory of the real pyramid complex of Giza, as well as those pyramids near perfect alignment with the cardinel compass points. Thank you to Phil Kelly for writing t...

Abaddon the Despoiler himself gets receives a dark prophecy of something lurking beneath the crust of Mars. Thank you to Andy Chambers for writing the fiction I grew up with. Are there any old codexes you think I should turn into audio next Let me know at www.twitter.com/RJBayley or at robertjbayley@gmail.com. Many thanks to Graham McNeill for his help with identifying which authors go with which...

This is a genuinely scary story that really plays up the Lovecraftian inspiration of the necrons. I wanted to do something quite cartoonish and OTT with this one, but I actually think it turned out sounding really good. Voice acting lesson: go cartoonish and OTT more often. Thank you to Andy Chambers for writing the fiction I grew up with. Are there any old codexes you think I should turn into aud...

A rough landing for the Adeptus Mechanicus on a Necron tombworld in this week's Oldex. Thank you to Andy Chambers for writing the fiction I grew up with.

The second of two videos I'm releasing this week to mark Age of Sigmar 3rd edition, written by it's creative lead Phil Kelly. Phil Kelly writes marvellously morose Eldar, and I tried to stay away from the typical lighter voice in favour of something more husky and deep for Ulthwé Farseer Maechu. Thanks for all you've done and do for the hobby and community Phil Kelly. You can talk to me about 40K...

To celebrate the announcement of Age of Sigmar 3rd Edition, I'll be releasing two videos this week written by it's creative lead Phil Kelly. Written nearly two decades ago, this story comes from the third edition of AoS's sister game, Warhammer 40,000. And, like the tabletop gaming/hobby visionary he is, he gave us a Deathwatch story 4 whole editions before they even got a codex. Thanks for all yo...

I love hearing from the voices that aren't represented on the tabletop. Went with a West Country accent as: A) It gives the character a salty seadog feel. B) After voicing Hafgan in Lee C Conley's audiobook of The Dead Sagas, I realise the West Country accent can sound really badass. Thanks to Phil Kelly for writing the fiction I grew up with. You can talk to me about 40K and which middlehammer/ol...

Black Templars vs. Necrons. If only there was a psyker to sort all this out in moments. Alas... You can talk to me about 40K and which middlehammer/oldhammer codex lore I should record next at https://twitter.com/RJBayley or robertjbayley@gmail.com . Many thanks to Graham McNeill for writing this and his help with identifying which authors go with which codex stories. Graham McNeill on Twitter: ht...

A member of the Adeptus Mechanicus details the impossibility of necron Gauss weapons. To make the cyborg AdMech voice how could I resist using a Gaussian dither? Thank you to Phil Kelly for writing fiction that I grew up with.

The second Graham McNeill story here on Oldex. Given the recent spotlight on his creation Uriel Ventris, I thought it only right to narrate/produce Darkness Rising as an audio story, which links to his novel Nightbringer. You can talk to me about 40K and which middlehammer/oldhammer codex lore I should record next at https://twitter.com/RJBayley or emailing robertjbayley@gmail.com . Many thanks to...

An intriguing story to find in Codex: Necrons 3rd edition because...well, you'll hear. You can talk to me about 40K and which middlehammer/oldhammer lore I should record next emailing robertjbayley@gmai.com or at https://twitter.com/RJBayley . Thank you to Phil Kelly for writing fiction that blew my childhood mind, and also my adult one. Phil Kelly on Twitter: https://twitter.com/philkellywords Ma...

The second installment of Oldex: my audio story adaptation of the wonderful fiction from out of print Warhammer 40,000 codexes and other books I grew up with. I hope you enjoy this story. I wanted to give the rogue trader a northern accent because: A) that the outdated societal associations with accents we hold today don't necessarily hold true in the far future. B) I love doing a northern accent....

Welcome to this first installment of Oldex, in which I adapt the wonderful fiction from out of print Warhammer 40,000 codexes and other rules books into audio stories. First things first: thank you ever so much to Graham McNeill, the very author of this and so many other stories I grew up reading. Graham took the time to tell me the specific authors of the individual pieces in 3rd edition Codex Ne...
