Toby Longworth picks Gaunt as his favorite role; voices Space Marines in Dawn of War 4

Toby Longworth, a long‑time narrator of Black Library audiobooks, says Colonel‑Commissar Gaunt is his favorite character to voice because the Gaunt's Ghosts series gave him the most time to develop the role. He has also voiced Dan Abnett's Eisenhorn and Nathaniel Garro in Horus Heresy novels and is now providing voices for multiple Space Marines in Dawn of War 4. This matters because Longworth's decades of audiobook work are influencing how core Warhammer 40k characters are presented in both novels and games.

• Longworth has narrated Dan Abnett's Eisenhorn and the 15‑book Gaunt's Ghosts series and voiced Nathaniel Garro in Horus Heresy audiobooks.
• He is currently lending his voice to several Space Marine characters in Dawn of War 4.
• Longworth named Gaunt his favorite role, citing the character's long, 15‑book arc as giving him the most opportunity to develop the voice.
• Gaunt's Ghosts is a 15‑novel Imperial Guard series that follows a commissar who commands the first and only regiment from the planet Tanith, and is often compared to Bernard Cornwell's Sharpe novels.
