COMMISSAR RIKART - THE STORY SO FAR
This is a compilation of the stories I have been running in the weekly videos that pertain to the story of Commissar Rikart. Imperial Guard / Astra Militarum storyline.
The short story chapters/scenes are included in weekly videos as episodic entries for subjects in the warhammer 40K universe. They are written specifically and individually as I never know where the votes will go at the end of each video. So they cannot be constructed all at once. Any inconsistencies are down to the duration between videos and, of course, my own failings. I am far from perfect, despite how I try my best to give you all quality videos to view/listen to.

Your use of quotation marks is wrong, it should be around the word content. I don't normally point out something this pedantic but your current statement reads as if you are saying all the other 40k content is made by Baldermort under a series of aliases, which is both hilarious and probably the opposite of what you meant.

Dan Abbott is spot on, I had to put the book down twice reading because I was laughing too hard. Many soldiers have asked about his service because he's so good... he didn't serve but listened to old soldiers at the pub
