Dear Hugonaut of Heff,

I'm afraid that the particular Sororitas you mentioned have already signed an exclusive contract with Vizium magazine. For that reason they are forbade from posing in any other publications. However, if you asked their Canoness nicely I'm sure she could find an available Order.

Oh, and thank you for the subscription. I'd been meaning to start buying your magazines a while ago, as I very much enjoyed your Tau issue, Babes in Blue, but unfortunately my attention has been taken by my usual duties.

Yours Helpfully,

Teh Spess Emprah.



Dear Mr Emperor,

Have you heard the good news? Christ's second coming is imminent, and soon the day of judgement shall be at hand\?

Would you like a leaflet? It has offers for discounts on guaranteed passage into heaven and novelty crucifixes.

Dear Mr. Witless

(see what I did there)

You seem to forget, I'm 40,000 years old. I remember Jesus' first coming. And his second. And his third. By his eighth or ninth I was pretty sick of the whole thing and so was he. I mean we spent his whole tenth coming in a bar on Jupiter drinking and betting on the space ponies. I don't even remember his eleventh or twelth coming.

So yeah, next time he's back tell him to drop on by we'll do lunch.

My most esteemed master

Recently I met with the Chapter Master to plan our new offensive against the Heretics of Heretic World 7. As we were discussing how to penetrate their fortress the Chapter Master suggested we use Centurions.

I humbly asked how an archaic Legion rank would help us and everyone looked at me like I was nuts.

Finally the Chapter Master suggested I look in Wargear Vault XVII.

But I told him there are only XVI wargear vaults, and as Master of the Armory I would know wouldn't I?

But still he told me to look.

So I passed Wargear Vault XV filled with Thunderfire Cannons and Land Speeder Storms (which I swear was not there a few years ago)

Then I passed Wargear Vault XVI with its Storm Ravens and Storm Talons (and I swear that was not there a few months ago)

And I arrived a door marked Vault XVII!

And I KNOW that was not there yesterday.

But when I opened it it was filled with some kind of Super Space Marine suit. No, not terminator armor, another NEW super space marine suit!



I tried to ask the Chapter Master about them but he just said we always had them. Then he said shut up and stop asking questions.

So I turn to you, the all-knowing Emperor of Space. What's going on here? Is he nuts? Or am I?

My dear son, I know not of any "illegitimate" sons, as I am the religion and law of humanity. Everything do is perfectly legal and holds the moral highground.

As for cloning me a new body, the truth of the matter is that my mind and soul are too powerful for a replicated version of my original form, or for any body created through biological means.
If, however you were to find me some necrodermis, I would be very grateful.

I don't know what you could possible mean.

As we all know Eldar equipment is ancient and obsolete, necron even more so, ork gear is crude and unreliable, tyranids don't even have equipment just bugs holding bugs that shoot bugs, and marine gear far too expensive for mass production.

Guardsmen truly have the best of all worlds.

Dear my mighty Emporer of Space

As a single father of 18 boys (plus 2 or 3 I seem to have lost track of) I always try to follow the advice laid down in "The Big Book of Fatherhood Tips" by the Space Emporer himself.

For example recently I was in the basement working on my Warhammer 2k army (I have 3000 points of Ground Space Marines and an allied force of 1500 points of NYPD) and I left very strict instructions not to be disturbed. But my son Mags insisted on coming downstairs to tattle tale on my other son Horry. So I yelled at him and then had my other other son Lee beat him up and break all his toys.

Just as you advise on Page 352.

But since then Mags hasn't spoken to me and Horry seems to be running with a bad crowd.

Did I err?

Sincerely

Single Father on Sigma Farstar

As you shall find on page 666, paragraph 7, line 4, ignoring your father, or rebelling against him is a heresy. Therefore, I suggest you contact the local arbites force to execute your sons.

Give this letter to your executor.

Dear Guardsman Bob,

First, thank you for your service.

Secondly, no one knows how important toilet paper is as much as I do what with me sitting on the Throne for 10 million years or whatever. So I totally sympathize with your plight.

You'll be glad to know that Cargo Room 23 contains several boxes of death notifications which are required for the families of your lost comrades to collect their generous death benefits. They're also printed on quite soft paper and should meet your needs.

Remember to charge your las gun though, and always, always, always check those vent grates. You never know when a ripper is going to jump out.

As usual this confusion has spawned from the foul machinations of the ruinous powers. Time and causality are like diverse streams flowing into the same river. It would appear that Tzeentch has simply tweaked continuity and caused the Guard to be renamed into something silly and gothic. (He seems to think it's funny, it's kind of sad really.)
Rest assured aside from this minor hiccup in the fabric of reality, the universe remains exactly the same as you remember it. A battalion of squats has been dispersed to your locale. (There's always plenty around.)

What do you mean "instead of the 'machine god' " I thought I was the machine god. I know I'm the omnisaiah, aren't they the same thing?

Hi it's me, Astra Militarus Sergeant Kanon Foddor, you may remember me from when you gave us your blessing upon the founding of our regiment 3 months ago.

Wow time does fly. Back then I was a wet-behind-the-ears conscript and today I'm a Veteran Sergeant leading the 10 surviving members of our 3000-man company.

Anyway in all my time serving on the Astra Militarus I sometimes hear the older officers like Col Falconne (he's pusing the big 3-0 now, and spent 2/3 of his life in the Militarus) talk about something called the Umpire Guardians. Apparently they have all sorts of equipment the Astra Militarus doesn't like Griffons, Meduas and Collossuses. And they have some pretty awesome-sounding guys too like Sly Marbo and Col Chenkov.

I've asked around but no one seems to know much. Not even old Smithy who just got his 6 month campaign badge.

Do you know where we could find these Umpire Guardians? We sure could use their help these days!

Dear Teh Space Emperor

Hey there, Chapter Master Steve of the Really Awesome Guys here and you'll never guess why I'm writing.

So like, the other day I was fighting some bad guys and all of the sudden my chainsaw-sword thing jammed, probably from all the badguy blood and gore and bones in it. I really should clean it more.

Anyway there I am surrounded by bad guys and a jammed chainsaw-sword thing and I'm like oh @#$%. So I reach down to grab my combat knife and I find this holster thing. And I open it and I pull out a GUN!

And I'm like, holy #@$%, I have a gun?! When did this happen?

So I aim it and shoot a bad guy from like 10' away. He didn't even get to use his chainsaw-axe thing.

Then I shoot like five more bad guys.

So I get on the vox thing and tell all the good guys, hey, check your belts, you might have a gun!

And they did!

The bad guys didn't even get to use their axe-club-sword things!

So we like shot all the bad guys and went back to our fortress-clubhouse-thing and I ordered a top to bottom inventory of the whole place and do you know what I found? We have lots of guns!

Not just dinky little pistols and rifles, I mean we have missile launchers and lazor cannons and heat rays and some kind of gun that as far as I can tell shoots @#$%ing gravity at people. How cool is that?

Then Timmy, one of the intern-scout-cannon fodder kids he calls me over and you know what he found in the basment? AIRPLANES! We have airplanes! I mean just last month we were supposed to relieve those puny human guys but it took us like 2 weeks to drive there and getting ambushed and stuff so when we got there they were all dead and stuff. But if I'd know we had airplanes? We could've been there in like an hour.

AND THEN Bobby he comes up to me and is all like 'look up'. So I did. Do you know what I saw? We have SPACESHIPS! Mother-$%^&ing spaceships with like guns on them with shells the size of locomotives!

And I'm like so why have we been running around on planets getting our boots muddy and stuff when we could sit in orbit and blow the #$%^ out of the bad guys?

And no one knew.

So I'm writing all the Space Marines, CHECK YOUR BASEMENTS, check your attics, check your storage sheds, you might have all kinds of guns and airplanes and space ships lying around you never even knew about. You don't have to drive around in a minivan and hit people with a chainsaw-sword thing all the time!

Anyway i thought you'd want to know.

Ah, CM Steve of TRAG,

In the warp there are gods, and each god has his opposite. Recently we've been hit by a storm from the God of Retcons, but in his wake the God of Additions came along and compensated us with tons of crap from everywhere () !

These are some of the things we didn't have yesterday, but have now been around for centuries/millennia:

-Centurions
-Grav-weapons
-Imperial Knight-walkers-things
-Aircraft of various kinds
-The Ass... Astra Mi.... Assface Imperial Guardsmen
-Tauroxes (Holy cow, we made those!? I need some alcohol...)
-Reams and reams of things we should have used ages ago, but didn't because Spehss Paradoxes.

Dear Nine,

I'm sorry that is not a question, please rephrase and resubmit to your omnipotent immortal master.

Hey there big guy, this is Guardsman 2nd Class Joe, of the 18,535 Cadian Rifles. You might remember me, I was the guy last week who promised he'd never touch drink or dice again if you got him out of that little situation back here. Wanna thank you for that by the way. And true to my word I never touched drink since.

Oh it don't count as touching if I wear gloves right? just checking here.

Anyhoo, last week me and the boys invited over some of the lovely ladies from the 36th Venutian Valkyries to play a little game of 'airlocks and boarding torpedos' if you know what I mean. Well we'd just gotten to the 'drop shields' part of the game, if you know what I mean, when the Commissar busted in!

Well long story short he put us on 10 days of hard labor for being 'out of uniform' if you know what I mean. And hey, it's a fair cop.

But seriously, how come he got to take the Valkyries back to the command tent 'for further questioning' if you know what I mean? I mean ain't he supposed to be a pargon of virtue and suchwot?

Anyway let me know what you think.

Sincerely
Guardsman Joe

Dear Guardsman Joe,

There is nothing wrong with human sexuality in of itself. The only objectors to it are typically those who follow ill informed superstitions which you shouldn't, by the way. Rest assured the Emperor approves of you enjoying the fairer sex. However, engaging in coitus with another Imperial Guardsman is bad for morale and could potentially hospitalize another soldier wasting precious resources and taking a pair of boots out of the fight. Please reserve your pent up frustration for local women or, in a pinch, your hand.

As for your Commissar he is an individual who is clearly corrupt in mind. He is abusing his power and taking advantage of people under his command. Please report his behavior to the Departmento Munitorum. Or, alternatively, show him this letter. If he is truly loyal to me then he will execute himself for violation of protocol.


Have a good day,
The Immortal Emperor of Mankind.

============================================

Dear Emperor,

Why do you continue to give your warriors inferior weapons, vehicles and training? Wouldn't it be more sensible to equip all of them with carapace armor and bolters? Surely your vast pool fo resources would allow you to equip your armies with such technology. I don't really see the logic in reserving the technology for a pitifully few amount of individuals. Then again, the relationship between you Mon'keigh and logic is like the relationship with Orks and Marksmanship.


Yours truly,
An anonymous Eldar Autarch.

P.S: If you can please restrict the distribution of human/eldar pornography. It is getting creepy now how many prisoners of war expect a sexual experience.

Thought for the day: Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment.
30k Ultramarines: 2000 pts
Bolt Action Germans: ~1200 pts
AOS Stormcast: Just starting.
The Empire : ~60-70 models.

Dear Autarch,

First off, I must say, DIE XENOS DIE!!

Now that that's out of the way, I can tell you that in the past few milennia, despite my original wishes, the technology of my empire has stagnated, and is being hoarded. If I were able to speak, my Guardsmen would all have far superior technology, but as it is, the technologyis being held by some robotic a$$holes on Mars.

As for the pornography, no. Sadly.

Dear Emperor,

I have been executing cowards and heretics in my regiment all week non-stop, and I'm beginning to lose my faith in you and humanity. And Guardsmen.
Can you help me, please?

Ha! Tell me about it!

I mean nothing quite like having your most beloved son show up at your doorstep with an army of daemons to kind of make you question any faith or hope you might have had.

But you know, time heals all wounds and after 10k years I have to look back and laugh. I mean really, ignoring Magnus' warning? Sending Leman to trash his planet cause he woke me up from a nap? Yeah let's just say mistakes were made and move on.

So next time you execute some mutant, traitor, heretic guardsman just stop and think of the billions and trillions of loyal guardsmen out there and shrug. This guy isn't even a rounding error. Any in any case who'll even care in a 1000 years or so.

Honored Elder,

So um, there's been talk lately, something about a new edition and I was thinking you know maybe it's time?

I mean we've been waiting a while now, kind of a long while. I mean the Jockero came back, that's how long we've been waiting.

And you know steam punk is big now, real big. What with the land trains and gyro copters we were doing steam punk before it was even a thing. We could have like steam punk fliers and steam punk tunnelers and steam punk mining suits. You could get a slice of that Privateer Press money.

Plus Mantic already did a Forge Fathers army and you don't want them to eat your lunch do you?

So I have some concept art I can send you if you're interested. I mean maybe a full codex is a bit much, but maybe a data slate or a Tau ally or something?

Um let me know. I'll be waiting by the phone. Just um call. OK?

Sincerely

Dear Stunted Reject,

*Sigh* And just when i thought I'd seen the last of you. Someone call the Tyranids.

Yours Off-Pissedly,

The Emprah.


Dear Empy-Kins,

Why don't you call anymore? I haven't seen you in decades. I'm missing you, and there's only so long a chainsword hilt can keep a girl happy...

Yours,
