Forget Father Christmas, it's the commissariat's naughty or nice list you need to worry about msn-wink.gif To celebrate the commissariat is generously allowing you a day off from modelling and painting. Don't say we don't give you anything!

Merry Christmas comrades! :D

No thanks, this year the barracks is serving a non-traditional meal: fish. Don't worry we've sent an invite to all your "Greater Good" friends, if they could just meet me in the regimental kitchens ASAP as the cooks are eager to meet them...

 

Twas the night before Emperor’s Day, and he fought all alone,

in a four foot deep trench, lined with plasteel and stone.

I was traveling the warp with gifts for the land,

when i saw this lone guardsman making his brave stand.

I looked all about, I looked near and far,

no Chimera, no Basilisk, nor Techpriest or Commisar.

No Sergeant yelled orders to the guardsman - no backing

to fight this ridge full of xeno form from pure evil, attacking.

His armor in tatters, his eyes nearly blind,

A sobering truth raced through my mind.

His position was doomed, was my only thought

and this soldier’s brave stand would all be for naught.

The guardsman stared unblinking, silent and alone,

his lasrifle at the ready against his shoulder bone.

His gaze was so calm in the face of calamity,

the perfect picture of a guardsman of humanity.

Who was this brave hero whose position I’d spied,

warring against this unstoppable tide?

I now knew that all humans I would see this night,

owed their lives to these guardsmen who were willing to fight.

Soon all round the galaxy the children would play,

and grownups would praise the bright Emperor’s Day.

They all lived their lives every month of the year,

Because of brave guardsmen like the on standing here.

A tear came to my eye for those who stood alone,

on a cold Emperor’s Day Eve on a planet far from home.

Their great sacrifices I could never betray;

So I drew my burning sword to join in the fray.

The soldier did turn and I hear a rough voice:

“My Emperor, rest easy- This death is my choice;

I fight for a freedom that may never be found,

but not ever shall I waver on Your sacred ground.”

Then the Guardsman turned to face the incursions

of the foul xenos and their unholy perversions;

I kept watch for hours, until the night was still

and the guardsman lay broken on the bloody red hill.

I could not just leave on the cold grim dark night,

this guardian of honor so willing to fight.

And as the guardsman lay dying, his soul strong and pure,

he cried: “Ave Imperator! It’s Emperor’s Day! This world is secure!”

I kneeled before the fallen, A great victory he’d won.

“Happy Emperor’s Day my guardsman, rest in peace, my son.”

 

Stolen from Facebook. May we all achieve such honourable service in His name.

Sneaking in early I see Kier and abusing your position of being in the land of the rising sun msn-wink.gif I hope everyone's had a great day (or is having one!) biggrin.png I can't remember the last time I ate so much but best of all was I found a Bullgryn box amongst the gifts smile.png Once the family duty is done and I've had the chance to relax some more it's time to break out the glue thumbsup.gif
