Line 1:

'''''[http://gonetoground.ca/ Gone to Ground]''''' is a Canadian-based webcomic in the ''Warhammer 40000'' universe, created by Stefan Grambart and Josh Garratt.
It follows a group of Imperial Guardsmen, the Cadian 401st Irregulars, who end up doing a lot of "fill the gaps" deployments because of a clerical error in their unit totals. This is clearly going to be a comic work and may fill the gap that was be created when ''[[Turn Signals on a Land Raider]]'' finished last year.
Line 7:
Currently off line due to a virus but hopefully it will start to work again. In the new year the site restarted and is now working fine.

* [[Elites Are More Glamorous]]: Subverted by the protagonist regiment, the Cadian 401st Irregulars, who are stated in the 'About' page to be deployed to "fill-the-gaps" and rarely see through an entire war, instead re-deploying on crucial battlefields else where. This is not due to them being elite troops, but due to a clerical error which says they have 3,333.33 enlisted men, which gets them overlooked for primary deployment.
* [[Expy]]: [[Tintin|Captain Haddock]] is in the Imperial Navy now? He's even named such.
Line 14 ⟶ 13:
* [[Lighter and Softer]]: It's a web ''comic'' of Warhammer 40K. Of course, since 40K itself is a [[Darker and Edgier]] [[Grimdark]] [[Crapsack World|Crapsack Universe]], its still a little bit on the dark side.
* [[No Celebrities Were Harmed]]: [https://web.archive.org/web/20100511093303/http://gonetoground.ca/2009/a-word-from-our-sponsor/ As Orks].
* [[Nominal Importance]]: Subverted [https://web.archive.org/web/20100308051028/http://gonetoground.ca/2009/and-something-worse-comes-out-the-other/ here.]
* [[Theme Naming]]: The Guardsmen are named after things you'd find in your kitchen (including food).
* [[Schedule Slip]]: Who boy, yes. At least the author is a good sport about it: The website has a banner cheerfully announcing "Updated Bi-monthly!" He's changed his art style recently, though, which should make it easier for him to produce new comics.
** Now the banner says "As often as possible!"
* [[Sedgwick Speech]]: [https://web.archive.org/web/20100308045819/http://gonetoground.ca/2009/a-lucky-shot/ Semi-subverted here]
* [[Shout-Out]]: To Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
* [[We Have Reserves]]: An [[Subverted Trope]] for Captain Haddock [https://web.archive.org/web/20100623062415/http://gonetoground.ca/2010/a-plan-comes-together/ here]
