After the fb page, Games Workshop put another site online: "The Regimental Standard".
There isn't a lot of things, as it is the beggining.
It is Imperium propaganda in-universe, and I think there is a point of humour, mocking there own design / flawed concept.
Here is the link:

Nice touch GW

**Paradigm**

That's actually pretty hilarious... Good one, GW!

**Tactical_Spam**

This is actually quite funny.

**Byte**

Ah, I'm not buying it. Click bait. Too...nothing.

**Hanskrampf**

That is actually pretty funny and good to see that GW is changing their ways. Though I wonder if we already should know about this site? The Tau entry is labled "test-7" in the URL, there is no Home button, no logo, no navigation.
Maybe switched to live modus by accident?

**The Grumpy Eldar**

It's a community site as in made by the community... So I doubt this has been done by GW. It's probably done by someone in their free time.

A quick who.is shows the domain is actually under the ownership of GW.

Thank you! I was thinking about doing this too, but figured I'd scroll down to see if anyone else had.

Does mean it's at least quasi-official.

**Iron_Captain**

It is absolutely hilarious.
I can't wait to see what else GW is going to do.

**Bolognesus**

Huh, seems like someone over at GWHQ found a dusty old copy of the imperial infantryman's uplifting primer. Bit of a ways to go to get to the level of that little gem, though.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure some of this is verbatim from that great little book, but I'm happy to see it.

**gigasnail**

that really is funny as hell.

**Knight**

Needs more content, nicely done.

**streetsamurai**

really cool site

**Bottle**

‘We were hunkered down in an old refinery when those cowards ambushed us. Dozens of ’em. Their weapons flashed out towards us, and they were bright for sure. Bright as a flare. But we felt nothing. Just these dots of light dancing over us.’

My favourite part haha

**Sledgehammer**

So i thought they retconned the commissariat out of the fluff into the Officio Prefectus?

**Jehan-reznor**

Looks familiar stuff from the The Imperial Infantryman's Uplifting Primer?

**Manchu**

I saw this earlier but had no idea it was GW content. I am shocked and extremely pleased to see GW engaging like this even if is pretty tame ... after so long with the fortress mentality, and an almost hostile attitude toward the customer, this is a breath of fresh air!

**Ankhalagon**

Thats funny! I like it.

**radarbabyeater**

I laughed about the inferiority of the Tau technology and how pathetic Genestealers are. Good stuff!

**Jadenim**

Interesting that the "posters" link to the relevant sections of the GW website; Big guns never tire takes you to IG heavies.

Also, love the little meta joke of the notation on the Tau battle suit labelling the ankles as "extremely unstable", never a truer word spoken in jest!

**Requizen**

Someone at GW finally moved into the 21st Century and realized that the internet was for more than online shopping, how nice.

**Mymearan**

I laughed!

Find a copy of the Imperial Infantryman's Uplifting Primer, it's filled with stuff like that.

I was always tickled by the diagram of a Guardsman towering over the Ork while stabbing it with a bayonet.

The drawing of what to do when suffering from a hull breach during space travel is also quite something.

**Jadenim**

Orks being easily startled by loud noises was my favourite!

I haven't read it for awhile. Wasn't it along the linesof "Hold your breath and wait for rescue".

It was also little touches like the abhuman section in the second edition looking like it had been taped over the previously redacted section.
