Forged in Fire

A Warhammer 40,000 Fan Fiction, set through the perspectives of countless (Some say too many) characters. It's drawn inspiration from dozens of sources, most notably, Gaunt's Ghosts by Dan Abnett.

After the discovery of armed forces on a 'Dead' planet, the Subponian Guard is thrown into disarray by dozens of rapid attacks. After the arrival of the Emperor's Space Marines and the discovery of a much darker threat, it is clear that things can only get worse for everyone.

[[Forged in Fire] is a Work in Progress by Gingusdan and can be found in its individual Chapters: Here.


 * Be All My Sins Remembered: Bones.
 * Birds of a Feather:

"“Never bring a knife to a gun fight.”"
 * Bond One-Liner: Brutis Bones says this after he shoots a knife wielding blood pact;

"Cearul; "Heavy Artillery mounted high on the Fortress. Out of reach for us. Heavy Flak Cannons on the Fortress prevent air support. The fortifications of the Fortress make it extremely hard to impossible to use counter-battery fire. Long and short, our odds? I'd go for a million to none." Bones; "Never tell me the odds. I make my own.""
 * Never Tell Me the Odds: Said between Bones and Cearul towards the end of the Fiction

"Subpono's flag is deepest red. It shrouded all our Attero dead. Before their limbs grew stiff and cold. Their heart's blood dyed it's ev'ry fold."
 * He Didn't Make It: Said to Kyla after  untimely demise.
 * This is, of course followed by
 * Loads and Loads of Characters: along with Anyone Can Die, to an almost George RR Martinesqe extent.
 * Never Bring a Knife to a Gun Fight: Quoted verbatim. See Bond One-Liner, above.
 * Sergeant Rock: Sergeant Cearul is the exemplary.
 * This Troper disagrees. I think Sergerant Cearul is more of a Drill Sergeant Nasty while Armsman Brutis 'Bones' Tybalt  is more of a Sergeant Rock
 * Sound Off: In the second part the Subponian recruits sing this little diddy;

"Then raise Subpono's banner high. Beneath it's shade we'll live and die. So keep the faith and never fear. We'll keep the Red Flag flying here."

"We'll never die, we'll never die. We'll never die, we'll never die. We'll keep the Red flag flying high. 'Cos The Imperium will never die."
