"Consider the Orbital Drop Assault. Its fury is a thing of hallowed legend writ across the histories of a hundred thousand worlds, the impact alone is more destructive then any artillery barrage, but it is nothing compared to the payload of Space Marines.

"The Imperial Guard came to Gereon, grav chuting by the thousands. They didnâ€™t wait for daybreak. They didnâ€™t wait for clement weather, or a favourable turn in the tides.

Tell me, boys and girls... How will you leave? Orbital Drop Shock Troopers: WE GO FEET FIRST SIR!"
