With new plastic Solar Auxilia reinforcements arriving this weekend, we dredged up a classic issue of the Tercio Standard – precursor to the legendary Regimental Standard that keeps modern-day Guardsmen in the know. What did they have to say about the apocalyptic battle that came to be known as the Great Slaughter?
Greetings, Auxiliaries!
As reported in our last issue, the fires of conflict have finally swept into the gateway Garmon cluster. At this very moment, men and women just like you are battling to secure the future of the Imperium for its rightful ruler! Yet show no fear, for great success has been achieved on the Beta-Garmon front, and fresh reports leave no doubt that the valiant Solar Auxilia have been instrumental in the coming victory!++ EDITOR’S NOTE: Reports from two sources have yet to be verified. I want write-ups for both, and remove whichever proves inconvenient when confirmation arrives. And don’t forget to delete this bit, Recephalon, or the Scribe Primus will have our heads! ++
Valiant Auxilia Delay Traitors at Beta-Garmon
After weeks of unrelenting combat outside the walls of Nyrcon City, the courageous Solar Auxilia have faced down the worst the foul rebels had to throw at them – and prevailed!
Commendable cohorts from the Saturnyne Rams and Inwit Phalangites have fought tooth and nail to hold back traitorous battle groups of the erstwhile Legiones Astartes, and even makeshift maniples of rogue Titans. The will and determination of Humanity is stronger than even the mightiest war machine, and through their noble sacrifice, our proud tercios have bought valuable time for the Praetorian himself to reinforce the Sol System against any last, desperate action by the disgraced Warmaster.
The elite Auxilia defending Beta-Garmon sallied forth in squadrons of pristine Dracosan armoured transports to take the fight to the enemy, and their herculean feats have ensured that final victory is but one campaign away. So raise your ration cups to our heroes, and offer a salute to the valorous dead!
The might of Humanity’s finest secures victory once again!
Heroic Auxilia Claim Beta-Garmon for Humanity
After weeks of unrelenting combat outside the walls of Nyrcon City, the courageous Solar Auxilia have finally crushed the last vestiges of futile resistance and claimed the vital world of Beta-Garmon.
Indefatigable Auxilia from the Cthonian Headhunters stormed the city’s walls amidst thunderous fire from glorious Space Marine Legions and Titan maniples, putting the indoctrinated garrison to the sword as they liberated countless grateful citizens from the Throneworld’s oppressive boot. The true inheritors of Humanity’s destiny are once again at the forefront of our conquests, and a brighter future awaits all who march under the banner of the Imperium’s Warmaster and rightful heir.
In a galaxy won and held by strength of arms, heed the shining example of our elite Solar Auxilia – this is a victory for all of Humanity, spearheaded by its elite. So raise your ration cups to our heroes, and offer a salute to the victorious conquerors!
The might of Humanity’s finest secures victory once again!
