A novice author's fanfiction practice piece: In the war-torn universe of the 40k setting, guardsmen from all walks of life fight bravely against the enemies of the Imperium, fearing neither death nor danger. But beset by threats from within and without, they struggle to keep going. Will the Emperor's glory ever shine upon this land? And can the guardsmen stand tall beside the Golden Throne? (Contains lots of original fanfic content. I write whatever comes to mind, so please go easy on me.)
