Some Characters
I Don't Want to Load up a Ton of Heroes and Rambo's in a Single Company but I Couldn't Help Myself Adding Just One.
This is Corporal McGallen, he was Crushed by a Mighty Ork Warboss who Dropped Him on the Floor and Like a Moron Just Wheeled his Chair Back to Look for Him then Heard a Horrific Crunch.
Only in Death does Duty End However. A Guardsmen's Life is the Emperor's Currency and it can't just be cashed out at the First Mishap like the loss of a major limb now can it? McGallen Continues to Lead his Squad in Combat, He still lugs his Rifle with him in Combat although he hasn't fired it since the incident. He's only a few years away from Retirement and with the Regiment just returning from active duty no one bothered to transfer him to safety. The Order of the Broken Sword, now made whole thanks to the Primaris Marines, now calls upon it's Neighbors to aid them in hunting down the Traitors. Unable to be transferred to a Safe Position Corporal McGallen has accepted his lot and will lead his men in the Emperor's Name no matter his wounds.Now the Next Guy is a Hero of the Entire Battalion.
Captain Zacharius Gallawaay Michaels, A Recent Graduate from the Galland Military Academy Cptn. Michaels joined the Regiment Halfway Through it's Eight Year War with the Orks Off-Planet. Thanks to a Financially Crippling Bribe that Left his (unaware) Parents Destitute he Found Himself an Ensign with a Combat Regiment in Desperate Need of Any and All Reinforcements. Normally Ensign's Learn their Craft in Combat but they Normally get Posted to a Quiet Sector where they can Do Much More Watching than Leading.
He Quickly Proved Worth his Rations. When his Position was Overrun and his Entire Platoon's Officers Either Killed or Wounded Ensign Michaels Grabbed the Nearest Gun and Charged the Enemy. The Sight of the Young Man Charging the Orks didn't Really Do Anything to Motivate the Men and Michaels Went off not on a Heroic, Inspirational Charge but a Suicide Mission. That Was until Four Companies of Guardsmen (and the Battalion Commissar) moved to Reinforce the Position and the Men Returned to their Posts now that Help was on it's Way. What Happened and What the Sergeants Decide Happened are Often not the Same thing However and all their Accounts talk of Them Frantically Trying to Rally their Men (They themselves didn't run of course) when Out of Nowhere this Ensign Ran towards the Orks and Inspired Everyone.
What Ensign Michaels didn't Realise However was that he had, in his Haste, Picked up a Training Pistol. The Tiny, Non-Lethal, Pistols Modeled After the Revolvers of the Past Pack Quite the Sting and Can Be Fired Rapidly almost Indefinitely but Are of No Use Against a Rampaging Ork Nob. Upon Realising he Had a Training Pistol Ensign Michaels Drew his Sword and Charged teh Nob, Firing at It's Head to Distract it. The Plan Almost Worked and Ensign Michaels Managed to get a Few Cuts in and Remove One of the Orks Arms but was Thrown Aside by the Nob Once it Regained It's Vision. He Would have been Killed Were it Not for the Battalion Commissar's Timely intervention. 
Now a Captain he was Gifted Veteran Status by the Surviving NCO's of his Platoon, in Exchange for not Mentioning the Whole Running Away Fiasco, and Wears them with Pride. He Still Carries Two Modified Training Pistols into Combat with Him. They Have Slightly More of a Punch than Before but they Still Won't Hurt a Man in a Well Padded Coat. They do However have Almost no Recoil, a Fully Automatic Mode and Near Unlimited Ammunition which Make them a Perfect Suppression Tool. Many an Assault has been Lead by Cptn. Micahaels Blazing Away with his Pistols and Keeping the Enemy Suppressed while his Platoon Followed him. His Fame Saved Cptn. Michaels' Family from Financial Ruin. No Creditor would Dare Call on the Parents of a War Hero and The Gifts Flowed Freely. Now the Battalion's "Poster Boy" Cptn. Michaels Prepares to Lead His Men Against the Chaos Filth that Once Called themselves Men, Now he Will Find out if the Gimmickof Going Into Battle with Toys will Pay Off and Bring Him Great Glory or Cause His Death.The Company is Lead by Major Thomas Howard Neemack and Company Sergeant Major Donall MacHenry
Still Nursing a Wound From the Campaign Against the Orks CSM MacHenry Will Take a Leadership Rather than Face Smashing Role in the Up Coming Campaign
Major Neemack is an Officer from the Old Class. The Youngest of Fifteen Children from a Moderately Aristocratic Family he Carries his Birth on His Chest Like a Badge. No Man has Ever Seen Him at any Less than Bolt Upright or Ever Seen him Take a Hastened Step. He Prefers to Lead his Men with a Calm Head and Good Posture. Every Man who Fights with him is both Shocked and Inspired by his Non-Chalant Attitude Towards the ENemy, he Prefers to Lead his Men Ratehr than Bother with Things as Trivial as Bullets and Blades, Both of Which are Better Left to Sergeants Anyway.
Of His Ten Brothers Seven Have Been Killed In Action, Two are Jabbering Messes in Veterans Colonies and One has a Colonelcy in the Cavalry, the Only Member of the Family to Join the Branch Since he Married Very Well.
