Greetings, Guardsmen!
Efforts to reach you, the valiant defenders of Imperium Nihilus, have finally come to fruition – the Regimental Standard is back! Acceptable performance in the face of the Archenemy means your sector has been allotted several moments of our precious editorial time, enough to bring you a sprightly update on the reinforcements reaching your combat zone soon.
That’s right – reinforcements. The holy armouries of the Astra Militarum are at your disposal, and despite the regression into drooling barbarism you have no doubt suffered during your time away from the God-Emperor’s divine light, our easy-to-use guide will guarantee minimum levels of competency with your new weapon systems.
The Field Ordnance Battery is a vital link in the chain of firepower that holds the chandelier of human civilisation above the dark vestibule of corruption. Your manual contains critical procedures for the correct veneration, transportation, and operation of these mighty weapons, interspersed with a handy reference guide to all 449 mandatory rites from the Artilleryman’s Operational Liturgy.
Armed with such invaluable information, even an Ogryn could man your batteries.* Correct operation of these unmatched man-portable weapon systems will ensure the swift victory of the Astra Militarum over any heretic, mutant, or alien (delete as applicable) seeking to land a few cheap blows on our beloved Imperium while the God-Emperor’s blessed gaze lies elsewhere.
Requests for your copy of The Field Ordnance Battery and You may be made to your regiment’s designated Munitorum Representative, with delivery expected in as little as four Solar years. More missives from the Regimental Standard are inbound, Guardsmen – to your stations, and may the Emperor protect.
Thought for the day: “To act without falter is to obey without question.”
* Under absolutely no circumstances must an Ogryn attempt to operate a Field Ordnance Battery, under punishment of Abhuman Latrine Duty for a period not exceeding thirty-six (36) Solar months, flogging, or death.
