[@robertalexander-bk5zj]

All the stories about the noble space marines, the ceaseless hordes of chaos, filthy xenos, all of it is for this. To flavor and shape the world that tremors and quakes in haunted shadows and overpowering might in the eyes of us, the lowly men and women of the imperium fighting and dying just for another day, another moment. Praise the God Emperor, may he save us all. Praise Vox, may he remind us why we fight. Grandstanding aside, thank you Darren Davis and you too Vox, for this

[@inwit594]

The noble space marine fights so that the mere men and women of the Imperium needn't. But they must never forget that they serve and protect, not rule. That they were once mortal, that they should know what they fight for. That is the difference between them and those traitors who cower in the terrible eye. It is the duty of *all* sons and daughters of the Emperor to fight as one, so that our foes die divided.

[@cainb3163]

And what does that gain you? A galaxy of unnecessary pain and suffering which only ends in death for no other reason than to grease the war machine with your blood. There will always be another battle, another horrible way to die for nothing. Your corpse on a pretty chair is just that. One more wasted life. What aid and relief can a corpse provide? Grandfather loves all his children. His gifts are blessing and panacea. A release from pain and sorrow and torment. Grandfather waits for you.

[@Mr_Bunk]

The Commissar BLAMming some hapless conscript for supposed cowardice is often a punchline for 40K fans, so it’s quite sobering to see how that situation plays out in a drawn-out, realistic way. I applaud Mr. Davies and, of course, Vox for bringing this grim tale to life.

[@inwit594]

Something akin to the meme only actually happens in the most dire situations where a precedent must be set: That running, in that particular case, is akin to killing your fellows because of your absence.

[@inkeddecker9964]

Just some kid who wanted to be a truck driver and ended up fighting a horde of unstoppable monsters. This made me relize how scary orks can be.

[@stephenduxbury6303]

It's awesome to see the perspective of a lowly conscript to bring home just how throne-damned awful their lot is! Amazing stuff!

[@tarektechmarine8209]

WRONG. your entire world is in danger, not just one continent. You aren't just fighting for your city, you're fighting for your world, especially if it's orks.

[@ChillAssTurtle]

​@@tarektechmarine8209we're in it for the species ladies and gentlemen.

Don't y'all go nowhere aight?!. 👍🏻

[@mattpedia1933]

"COMMISSAR, I WISH TO DECLARE THE ANCIENT RITES OF 'NEW YEAR, NEW ME!" The soldiers lower their weapons and look expectantly to the man in the high collar. "Denied." Comes the reply, dripping with disdain.

[@nix-cipher]

Vox is full of suprises! I felt like I was looking through the eyes of some poor shell-shocked pdf guy as he tried in vain to comprehend his situation,and that ending....pure genius!

[@shocktrooper9163]

Damn, I thought the orks were going to be bad. Great work on the transitions from the calm before the storm, the battle, aftermath, and ending, made a 20min video feel like a full length movie.

[@AVoxintheVoid]

Means a lot to read comments like these! Gives me the desire to keep recording

[@Gr33nOfGrundleburg]

A window into the grim lot of far too many Imperial conscripts, and a grimdark start to the New Year. Let's make it a bright one here in the real world. Excellent work as always, Vox.

[@droberts1330]

I almost felt like I was Jerod... poor guy. Another awesome reading and story. Many thanks!

[@arguss311]

Excellent story! Great representation of the grimdarkness of the far future! It's nice seeing the PDF getting some attention. Thanks for sharing, Vox and Darren!

[@nix-cipher]

I agree,Vox certainly brings forth the grimdark.

[@AngelusNielson]

@@nix-cipher And yet they still have humanity and Ogryn wholesomeness.

[@johnd2058]

I find PDF stories the most identifiable -- what would I be in the Grimdark? I'd be out of my depth, that's what.

[@bbluva20]

That was great. I knew it was coming to an end but kept thinking something else might happen. Good writing tension.

[@nix-cipher]

I agree,the tension was palpable and having the story end like it did was genius.

[@CptBroxigar]

We need a one shot about Gav and Bob being conscripted for the war, their first time would be awesome.

[@gameEnjoyer887]

Be back when it's up. Love this channel and happy new years y'all, whatever else is going on in life remember we humans produce things like this too.

[@inquisitorgarza312]

Without the PDF many Imperial would have fallen prey to the horrors of the Grim Darkness Of the Future, and these brave men and women deserve the respect of warriors and defenders of the Imperium.

[@turbojuudas]

like every time before, this pleased me. I feel sorry for that poor bastard.

[@MadSandman]

I recently discovered that one of my friends likes to listen to wh40k lore videos while in bed. We shared a common love for Luetin, and now for Vox too. I recommended "I am" and "Abomination" as they're my favorites and he loved them. Thank you for creating such amazing stories to be shared with my friends.

[@grumpygoosegg3514]

War, damn y’all, what is it good for?? Apparently heartbreaking stories like this! Well done Vox!

[@nonyabeeznuss304]

was literally just thinking to myself the other day "I bet vox is gonna release something new soon."

[@spottedslash4256]

Oh damn, The conscripts... only Regiment worse than them is Penal Legion. I love down to earth Guardsmen Stories. Great work here.

[@paintballguru1]

Dear Emperor embolden these pitiful souls. Great story.

Wow this was great. A glimpse into the clouded reality of 40K

[@LazzarrusLong]

This had me on the edge of my seat. Very well done!

Im still holding out for (The Glorious Tomb) Vox you did that story so well. It was on par with (At The End). Please do a re upload, at some point. It was a masterpiece of work.

[@kmoney890]

Hey Vox, any Imperial Psyker fiction in the works? Would love to hear some Militarum Psyker stories

[@nix-cipher]

I think Vox's "Field Test" is about an Imperial sanctioned psyker being "tested out" during a battle.

Have you heard "field test"?

[@Nate-qf5zp]

6:23 I'm sorry to be that guy. Actually, PDF don't have Commissars thats just the gaurd you are thinking of. Typically there are commissars for the paper work side of the pdf but 1 commissar might oversee 30 million fighting men of the pdf over several planets. The PDF in this short story would mostly likely never have met a Commissar before.
