You there! Guardsmen!

Regimental Standard HQ have given us another issue in return for us saving their hides from an invasion of Orks!*

Any suspicious results will require recreation under Commissariat supervision.

We look forward to seeing you in the skies, Guardsman!

++ Thought for the Day: Serve the Emperor today, tomorrow you may be dead! ++

* And on the condition they never grace our offices with their glorious presence again.

** Please note – while all Imperial aircraft are fitted with ejector seats for your safety, only 20% are fitted with retractable cockpits in order to discourage their irresponsible use.
