Mantras Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 I like it. You have managed to convey a lot of character in a very short ammount of space, both about the main character, and of the other chapter they were serving with. Is this intended to be followed up by anything further?

Darkchild130 Posted May 22, 2012 Author Share Posted May 22, 2012 Thank you for the comments. I dont intend to follow it up with anything, it was just something I had to get out of my system. To me Imperial Fists are like Ultramarines without the Roman/Greek warrior tropes. Ultimate no nonsense badasses able to cut through the BS and get the job done. They are fallible in an interesting way, as their tendancy to over punish themselves for any perceived mistake shows an underlying sense of uncertainty and self doubt. They are clearly still suffering from the loss of The Emperor and compensate with extremes of duty and a culture of self sacfrifice. The types of warfare they specialise in (sieges, trench fighting, urban warfare) are the types that always cause the most friendly casualties, and this speaks volumes of their inner grit. In short, I think they're cool.

Olis Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 Has a nice flow to it as it's not overly stodgy and not overly effusive, either. It's short and sweet. Kinda makes me want to see more short snippets of this Sergeant Buller. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/252769-soldiers-an-imperial-fist-short/#findComment-3074835 Share on other sites More sharing options...
