<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "Helsreach Quote- imperial Guard Officer"]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/31.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net Helsreach Quote- imperial Guard Officer I thought others might get a kick out of it or be reminded for those who have already read the novel.

‘For the next few days, you’re in the Imperial Guard. First rule of the Guard: Go forward. If you get lost, you go forward. You lose your way? You go forward. You fall away from your group? You go towards the enemy. That’s where you’ll do the most good, and that’s where you’ll find your friends. Understood?’
General assent answered this, too. It came with a little more reluctance.
‘Right. Next groups!’

Now go fight the fungal reproducing gargantuan war loving ape monsters!
Cheers to all and a happy 4/20 for those that partake.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/522232/5527714.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/522232/5527714.page GMT Helsreach Quote- imperial Guard Officer

The funny thing about this is,if you put in to the tabletop the quote would just be, sit back. Sit back and shoot. Not sure what to do.

If I am playing with a team mate, am I allowed to say "You will advance!", and shoot him if he disobeys?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/522232/5528767.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/522232/5528767.page GMT Helsreach Quote- imperial Guard Officer

But yeah, that was some quality power-writing. Maybe it was Melodic Speed Writing, but I think it was more like European Power Writing. Kind of. If you get my meaning.

Andrei! That was his name. Yeah, he rocks. So do the Titan's priest and princeps. Actually, come to think of it, most of the characters in this novel just simply feel right - they aren't too shallow, but they're not uselessly complex either, and none of them really are archetypes, carbon copies or mary sues. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/522232/5562044.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/522232/5562044.page GMT
