I thought it would have been more fitting if the Adjutant abruptly dismissed Darius instead of having to walk out into the nasty conditions himself.

But, as I said, I stillBoxerSainthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05092420315975041509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2990982154267636114.post-31381049125624106412012-04-19T23:34:07.271+01:002012-04-19T23:34:07.271+01:00Thankyou again for all your feedback.

High praise indeed :) The adj is in fact being incarnated in 28mm battlefield form ... I might take an inspirational leaf from your book and add a perpetual dog at his feet...<br /><br />@Chris: Exactly - the adj is a one-off character so I picked thisColonel Scipiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02632701529009379584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2990982154267636114.post-33872442392231725812012-04-19T23:04:39.247+01:002012-04-19T23:04:39.247+01:00I just realized, if you have a military background...I just realized, if you have a military background as I suspect you do, my last comment will fall under the "blindingly obvious" category, so take it for what it's worth. :)<br />Cheers mate.Mad Padrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00410143683610813671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2990982154267636114.post-78302287105578946922012-04-19T23:00:43.702+01:002012-04-19T23:00:43.702+01:00I really enjoyed this!

It has that textured, atmospheric quality which is one of the rasons why I like W40K.<br /><br />Two quick thoughts if I may:<br />You mentioned how Darius hates mud. Tankers fear muddy conditions not only because it slows them down and makes them vulnerable, but also because globs of heavy mud can cause tanks to throw tracks, meaning Mad Padrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00410143683610813671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2990982154267636114.post-89719146502371433652012-04-19T04:20:48.197+01:002012-04-19T04:20:48.197+01:00Great little bit of fluff, the best part is I alre...Great little bit of fluff, the best part is I already hate the Adjutant and is so few words.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16070238698927689134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2990982154267636114.post-13381394874977796392012-04-18T23:59:55.733+01:002012-04-18T23:59:55.733+01:00Haha, I bloody hate most of the published stuff, I...Haha, I bloody hate most of the published stuff, I barely disguised that in my post about fluff.Kieran Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04191062526187270925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2990982154267636114.post-459933918158906102012-04-18T22:57:24.863+01:002012-04-18T22:57:24.863+01:00Thoroughly enjoyed it.
