There once was a gaming group with an evil GM who spent a weekend playing one of Warhammer 40,000's spin-off RPGs. They rolled up a Imperial Guard regiment, made some characters, and proceeded to suffer Total Party Kill after Total Party Kill, so much so that they were generating new characters in between rounds of combat. At the end of this brutal introductory campaign, the surviving fifty Guardsmen found their evac shuttle redirected to an unfamiliar spaceship, where some intimidating soldiers informed them that they were now working for the Inquisition.In other words, a bunch of ragtag, trigger-happy grunts from an Only War campaign wound up playing Dark Heresy, a game ostensibly about clandestine efforts to thwart the enemies of mankind. Hilarity, and Awesome, Ensues.This dramatized After-Action Report chronicles an All Guardsmen Party's adventures as they're loaned out to their boss' Interrogators like Pokémon to newbie Trainers, serving as Dumb Muscle and Cannon Fodder for the Inquisition's best and brightest (and worst, and dumbest). Despite all expectations, the Guardsmen keep rising to the challenge, dealing with intrigue and subterfuge the Imperial Guard way - which is to say, lots of shooting and explosives, and occasional activity of a legally-dubious nature. Whether the job is finding missing psykers, figuring out what's going on with a misbehaving Imperial Guard regiment, purchasing a new mission ship, training a new batch of agents, or acquiring a dangerous xenos specimen, the All Guardsmen Party will find a way to succeed, though not always in the way their bosses would expect or prefer.The series can be read here on 1d4chan, or at the author's personal archive site. There are also some shorts: [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6].Tropes experienced by the All Guardsmen Party include:

Beneath Notice
 All Guardsmen Party (Fanfic) / int_101500e
comment
Beneath Notice: The Occurrence Border is a ludicrously crappy ship, which actually makes it a perfect mission ship. Nobody would suspect an Inquisition agent would willingly board such a ship unless they were purging it. The Guardsmen themselves are considered a non-threat by the Conspiracy because they're obviously morons. Oak exploits this belief by giving the Guardsmen important roles in his Long Game.

Mission Control Is Off Its Meds
 All Guardsmen Party (Fanfic) / int_11734fc0
comment
Mission Control Is Off Its Meds: While Sciscitat is particularly belligerent and hostile to the party, regularly witholding information and calling them idiots, he at least gives them solid directions and orders. His orthodox Techpriest, on the other hand, vehemently hates the Guardsmen for all the tech-heresy he caught them doing and refuses to aid them in any way. When his Inquisitor orders him to direct the Guardsmen through a sewer network in "The "Stealth" Mission", the Techpriest deliberately commands them to go through every single dangerous area he can, culminating in him trying to get the party to invade a mutant village with 70 or so inhabitants... when there's a perfectly good side passage that circumvents the village (albeit one that's a holy Mechanicus space). His overt attempt to get Sarge killed by las-turrets he's supposed to shut off (by telling Sarge they're offline when they're not) is the final straw for the party, resulting in his "death by enemy ambush" at the mission's end.

Chunky Salsa Rule: The Guardsmen have a standard response when dealing with daemons or similar beings: if destroying the head and other organs is insufficient to stop an enemy, reducing its entire body to chunky salsa with explosives should at least slow it down.

Anyone Can Die
 All Guardsmen Party (Fanfic) / int_1237828f
comment
Anyone Can Die: As expected of the setting, friendly NPCs can and will frequently drop like flies, often rather abruptly and unceremoniously. Besides NPC allies, three PC guardsmen have bitten the dust so far. In order of untimely demise: Heavy, who was blown away by an enemy psyker after they and a friendly psyker swapped minds. Crisp, who had Twitch attach all of his remote explosives to his flamethrower tank to blow up a Chaos Marinenote  implied to have been an Alpha Legionnaire holding the squad at bolter-point. Cutter, who ingested a lethal amount of combat stimulants, led a melee charge against two Iron Warriors and a Heretek, and went up in flames when said Heretek self-immolated after Cutter had vertically bisected him. This was especially prevalent in the prologue, "Darwinian Character Creation", where characters died so suddenly and so often that the players had to start rolling up new characters in between combat turns to keep up. After six consecutive days of this, the players' regiment is reduced to about thirty people. These survivors make up the main cast of TAGP.

comment
This is downplayed after the swap to Dark Heresy, thanks to the player's aforementioned Genre-savviness, and a judicious use of Mauve Shirt NPCs to maintain the deadly atmosphere without killing PCs too often. Of course, player characters do die, whether the result of dumb luck or the party having no other options.

comment
Older Is Better: In the last part of The "Stealth" Mission, in order to overcome Bane Johns' probability manipulation powers, Tink equips the team with the most reliable lasguns on the planet that they could scrounge up. Because it's 40k, the team suspects—almost certainly correctly—they're all older than the human settlement on the planet itself. The only one whose serial number hasn't been worn off with age is Sarge's, all but revealing that, of a type of weapon that likely has trillions of copies in circulation in the galaxy, it was the seventh of its kind ever made on the forge world of Mars.

Underestimating Badassery: The Conspiracy doesn't consider the Guardsmen important, so it ignores them entirely. The two members to realize they are a potential threat either die before they can warn their superiors or insist it is all blind luck.

Poor Communication Kills
 All Guardsmen Party (Fanfic) / int_1c445e86
comment
Poor Communication Kills: A Space Marine Scout informs the Guardsmen that a Tyranid Assault Flier is headed their way, expecting them to stand their ground and shoot it down like Space Marines would. Unfortunately, because he didn't say what to do, the Guardsmen naturally take cover and the Scout is taken out shortly after by said Flier. The Interrogators sent to relay orders to the team in "Interlude: Escape" and "Inquisitorial Penal Legion" both fail to explain themselves quickly and plainly enough for the Guardsmen to realize they're an ally. One ends up missing limbs from a trap while the other gets sent off for the duty the Guardsmen needed to be on. The Guardsmen need to replace a set of evidence boxes covering their crimes with a set prepared by Oak. Nubby asks Sarge what to do with a piece of fancy tech in the first set; Sarge tells him they're taking everything. Only after they're offworld does Sarge discover Nubby had been referring to the daemon trap that was supposed to be left in Oak's boxes.

Failed a Spot Check
 All Guardsmen Party (Fanfic) / int_21e5b9c7
comment
Failed a Spot Check: All the Guardsmen are prone to this occasionally, such as when they fail to notice that the Zoanthrope they are transporting in Tyranid Delivery Experts is possessed by a daemon for several weeks... or that having an obviously daemonic portal linking into its secure anti-psychic cell from another point in the ship is a bad thing. Doc is the most prone to this, however, such as when he is so absorbed with his patients in a plague ward (and fawning over his Soroitas hospitallier girlfriend) that he doesn't notice that said plague ward is rapidly becoming a hotspot for Nurgle cultists. The fact that his patients are often infected with several instantly-fatal diseases at the same time, or the fact that treating those diseases tended to leave said patients in a worse state than before, or the fact he knew there is a Nurgle cult operating somewhere on the planet, goes completely over his head until Sarge literally smacks some sense into him.

Black Comedy: Many of the situations that the party faces would be outright horrifying if not born out of or further exacerbated by their own incompetence. Many of the victims of their collateral damage who don't get killed end up traumatized by the events. The only levity is how ridiculous these situations are.

Bilingual Bonus: The named Space Marines in Tyranid Acquisition Experts are named Rubram, Gravis, and Rebus - loosely translated from Latin into "Red", "Serious" and "Matters", or more colloquially, "Ruddy Serious Business". With the expectation that the shuttle pilot would be used, he was named Tunicae - so that the Marines (Gravis and Rebus) meant "Serious Business", and the Scouts (Rubram and Tunicae) meant "Red Shirt."

When Bane returns in The Stealth Mission, the local planetary authorities, as well as the previous Inquisition agent to inspect the planet, assume he's a daemonhost. As it happens, they're not entirely wrong about that.

During The "Stealth" Mission, the Guardsmen learn that a Chaos artifact held by a high-level crimelord, who would normally try and keep it a secret, is the prize of a high-stakes poker game. Their associated interrogators leap at the opportunity to participate until the lead inquisitor (up in orbit) bawls them out for their stupidity. Why the plot suddenly became the setup to a Bond film is not a property of the artifact itself, but rather Bane Johns, the Interplanetary Man of Mystery.

Overly Prepared Gag: The team discovers that all of their missions were actually planned to acquire a series of items used to build a teseract daemon prison. As Shoggy admitted, the entire campaign was essentially a joke whose punchline was them building a Master Ball for Pokémon Professor Oak.

Spy School: Oak's fleet collects personnel from throughout the Imperium to be trained as Inquisition teams. Those teams are then assigned to Interrogators who need experience leading missions before they can graduate to Inquisitor. Unfortunately, the Interrogators are a range of rejects from other Inquisitors who Oak has to try and straighten out.

Boring, but Practical
 All Guardsmen Party (Fanfic) / int_39b8d3d6
comment
Boring, but Practical: After the field mission fiasco in "Good Soliders, Bad Educators", the Guardsmen give up trying to teach the trainees to be "proper inquisition goons", and settle for infantrymen instead. The skills and techniques they show them like formation fighting and squad tactics are far from spectacular or the type of stuff an elite agent might need, but prove very useful nonetheless. In general, this is the Squad's default solution to any problem. Their M.O. can be summed up as "Apply las fire and explosives to any problem until it stops being a problem."

Properly Paranoid
 All Guardsmen Party (Fanfic) / int_3aec9e5e
comment
Properly Paranoid: The Guardsmens' shared paranoia has saved them a great many times. It's shown to great effect in The Xenotech Heresy: the Guardsmen's paranoia allows them to counter the machinations of the Eldar and Mechanicus. After the events of Discount Spaceship, the party has a unanimous paranoid hatred of servitors, declaring them daemon-possessed spies at the drop of a bolter shell and commissioning Twitch to make overkill anti-servitor traps for their barracks. It turns out that the Mechanicus is indeed attempting to spy on the group with cleaning servitors during The Xenotech Heresy, only failing because the party kills them all with extreme prejudice. Twitch, the explosives expert, is a full-on paranoid wreck, especially when Orks are involved (as they triggered his paranoia in the first place due to a Kommando raid). This gets to the point of having short-fuse grenades taped to the inside of a top-of-the-line security door, setting up redundant detonators, keeping shaped charges on his back-plate to keep people from sneaking up on him, and booby-trapping his own weapons (when Twitch says not to touch his stuff, it's for your safety). This would normally make him a bit too paranoid, but each time this comes up it saves the rest of the team. According to Shoggy, the DM allows Twitch's player to roll for paranoia and leaks him spoilers based on how well he does, which the other players are only privy to through Twitch's in-character interpretation. Consequently, the revelations that the mystery box was "full of Orks" and the Tyrannid "ghosts" were caused by the comatose Zoanthrope becoming possessed by a Daemon resulted in "I told you so" moments.

Recurring Boss
 All Guardsmen Party (Fanfic) / int_3bb81225
comment
Recurring Boss: The daemon the Guardsmen first encounter in "Discount Spaceship" is incredibly persistent. Over the course of their adventures it has manifested as a daemonhost through a psyker child, a knarloc, a daemoni-servi-knarlo-titan, a techpriest, a zoanthrope, and Bane John's. This is implied to be the same daemon that Inquisitor Quercus, aka Oak, has been fighting for 300 years.

Bad Boss
 All Guardsmen Party (Fanfic) / int_3cb1d38d
comment
Bad Boss: Most of the Interrogators qualify, some more than others. The Rupert is collectively agreed to be the least bad boss the Guardsmen have hadnote he's polite, well-connected (literally anybody important is an "old family friend" of his) and pretty competent, but also dangerously naive and sees no issue with charging things head-on. Bane Johns and Angelica Dominicus (aka "The Bitch") are definitely the worst. After the events of The Interplanetary Man of Mystery Sarge is finally "persuaded" to accept a promotion to Interrogator to keep the Guardsmen from any more bad bosses.

Going Native: The adventure in Tau space features a former Ordos Xenos Inquisitor who has adapted a number of Tau customs, has become a Tau sympathizer and promotes its "superior" values, and is heavily hinted to be the villain behind it all. He remains loyal to the Imperium, he just doesn't want his part of the galaxy to be engulfed in war.

Make It Look Like an Accident: Sciscitat gathers up as many of the Conspiracy's agents, along with any other traitors or sympathizers he could find, and loads them on a single ship sent back to Inquisitorial Headquarters. To ensure Oak's enemies couldn't free them, the ship was unfortunately lost in a warp storm on the way.

Paper-Thin Disguise
 All Guardsmen Party (Fanfic) / int_48b9731f
comment
Paper-Thin Disguise: Bane Johns disguises himself as a deserting Guardsmen by throwing on a greatcoat and impressive false mustache. He still fails to hide his obviously Inquisition-issue armor, pistols, and Inquisitorial rosette. When Sarge straightens him out, Bane pulls the rosette out and leaves it in plain view. Tink sticks a bunch of grox skins and other assorted skulls on his Tau drone to disguise it as a servoskull. The illustration near the end of "Xenotech Heresy" depicts it as having a human skull duct-taped on top, a human jaw hanging on wires below, and two scrolls; one saying "PLEASE IGNORE" and another saying "COMPLETELY NORMAL SERVITOR SKULL". Later, after Sarge's lasgun is destroyed, Tink tries to disguise a Tau pulse carbine as a lasgun for Sarge. Whenever the guardsmen try to wear disguises, it's described as making them look exactly like guardsmen trying to wear disguises.

Reassigned to Antarctica
 All Guardsmen Party (Fanfic) / int_5798bfbf
comment
Reassigned to Antarctica: After an entire army deserted on their watch, the Commissars attached to said army were reassigned to a penal legion training camp. Not to the legion, but to the camp, which means this is where they will spend the rest of their lives with no chance of redeeming themselves. Both go absolutely insane in the process. One becomes a barely functioning alcoholic while the one becomes a petty tyrant trying to do everything he can to be reassigned. The latter one eventually has to be put down by the Guardsman. Sadly for the two of them, they were actually eligible for reassignment 50 years before that, but the bureaucracy lost the paperwork. A junior Commissar from the above detachment ends up helping the Guardsmen escape when they show him they can get him reassigned. The actual post they arrange is an Administratum position that's been open for two centuries in the middle of nowhere, but he's more than happy to get a nice, boring job.

Fantastic Racism: Zig-Zagged. This being 40k, hating the Xeno is normal for everyone, but the exceptional circumstances of Inquisitional work lead to the party having much more interaction with aliens than they would otherwise tolerate. The entirety of The Greater Good takes place in an Imperium-Tau neutral zone and causes the party to nearly go on shooting sprees against the mixed population several times. In The Xenotech Heresy the party is forced into a fragile alliance with an Eldar (and have to betray the Eldar multiple times before he betrays them) and actually go out of their way to save and recruit an Earth Caste Tau who had been forced into the whole debacle. There's also a decent amount of this between the Mechanicus and the baseline crew of the Occurrence Border.

Death World: Heretic Purging sees the Gaurdsmen, alongside The Rupert, sent to one of these to cleanse the planet of several Chaos cults. The fact that Deathworlders make for excellent Guard recruits is the only reason the Inquisition doesn't just Exterminatus the planet outright. The Stealth Mission takes place on a desert hive world which the party eventually realizes is even more inhospitable than standard. Not only are pools of strong acid called "lakes", the dust storms frequently escalate to rock-storms ("it stops being sand or dust once it's bigger than a grape") that span entire continents.

Implacable Man: The ex-Arbite traffic cop the party meets in Jack Hive is nearly impossible to shake and determined to ticket the party for the smallest infractions. He follows them between spires and into the Underhive, appears from nowhere whenever the party has a quiet moment, and papers their entire vehicle in tickets. Even when he ends up knocked out and tied up in the back of an exploding van, he comes out of it apparently no worse for the wear.

Punny Name: Ivana Krushyu, which is more or less obligatory given she plays the role of a Bond Girl. Weebu is a fanatic for Tau culture, which in turn is depicted as being very similar to modern Japanese culture. That's right, Weebu is a weeaboo. Space Marines Rubram, Gravis, and Rebus don't seem punny until one considers Latin: Ruddy, serious, and business.

Killer Game Master
 All Guardsmen Party (Fanfic) / int_6ea95fc4
comment
Killer Game Master: The GM has his players roll up hundreds of Player Characters during their "prologue" sessions of Only War, and kills or incapacitates nearly all of them over the course of several military campaigns - only 37 members of the regiment are still alive by the end. It gets so bad that the players have to quickly roll up new characters in-between turns. Not for nothing is he described as being "on the 'Hitler scale' of death measurement". By the time the game transitions from Only War to Dark Heresy for the rest of the series, the players (and their characters) have become paranoid, Genre Savvy and hyper-competent out of necessity. This is downplayed after the swap to Dark Heresy, thanks to the player's aforementioned Genre-savviness, and a judicious use of Mauve Shirt NPCs to maintain the deadly atmosphere without killing PCs too often. Of course, player characters do die, whether the result of dumb luck or the party having no other options.

Overt Operative: Having trained extensively as soldiers and practically never as spies, the Guardsmen are incredibly obvious whenever they try to blend in with civilians. The team they "educate" ends up much the same. Bane Johns, as a James Bond expy, is even worse, being a party animal who periodically goes on murder sprees that are sometimes vaguely connected to his actual mission. When he returns in "The 'Stealth' Mission", there's a celebrity tabloid dedicated to his antics.

Idiot Ball: Nubby takes firm possession of this during the Discount Spaceship chapter - it starts with buying the hunk of junk that is the Occurrence Border (for its relatively very low price just so he can pocket the remaining budget) and escalates from there. His attempt to openly threaten the owner for a further discount on the already cheap ship leads the man to have 6 bombs set on the ship's six Gellar Field generators out of spite, jeopardizing the whole mission even further just because Nubby wanted to twist the guy's arm for fun. His squad is very unimpressed and vow to never let him negotiate for anything important ever again.

Bullying a Dragon: A Techpriest actively harasses and sabotages the Guardsmen, frequently leading them into danger on purpose and nearly ruining the entire mission, out of sheer pettiness and spite. Only as the squad of seasoned Guardsmen with a fresh grudge and a "convenient" alibi are beating him (a lone Techpriest) to death does the Techpriest realize that this might have been a bad idea.

Unfriendly Fire: During Good Soldiers, Bad Educators a Commissar cadet guns down a fleeing trainee only to be shot dead when he tries to kill another. The shooter is unidentified and the Guardsmen are sure it is the fault of a Gretchin which stabbed his corpse repeatedly with a stolen Imperium-issue knife. The "Stealth" Mission has an orthodox techpriest who repeatedly screws the party over and nearly gets them killed when acting as mission control. He falls victim to an "enemy ambush" shortly afterward. The Penal Legion reveal the students from the Guardsmen's training days learned it may be necessary to kill superior officers if they're actively endangering the squad. They did not learn how to cover up said killing before trying it, hence their reassignment to a penal legion.

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: The result of sending a daemonhost Knarloc to fight a Chaos servitor-Titan-techpriest. What's left of both fuses together, remains Chaos-possessed, and is significantly angrier at the Guardsmen. Trading a Necron flyer to a Rogue Trader. Several worlds are cleansed of life by the Necrons chasing after the flyer, and a schism in the Mechanicus is threatened. And that's before the Hereteks get in on the madness. Successfully delivering a Tyranid zoanthrope as ordered. The unintended collateral damage and confusion caused by the zoanthrope's psychic presence is enough for the Conspiracy to finally get Oak and his subordinates declared rogues.

Entertainingly Wrong: Due to a fundamental misunderstanding of how a Space Marine's geneseed works, the T'au think it can be planted in any old human and it'll turn them into a clone of the dead Marine. This is used in one episode of Super Deserter Gues'eva Action Heroes to bring back their Marine comrade. When Tink suggested "planting Gravis' seeds in a servitor" to fix him, Doc is gobsmacked that he's so off-base about it (and that he takes Xenos "heretical cartoons" at face value).

Logical Weakness
 All Guardsmen Party (Fanfic) / int_83641c73
comment
Logical Weakness: Bane Johns' luck manipulation keeps him safe by draining the luck of anyone nearby, rendering him effectively invulnerable. However, this is automatically caused by Bane's psyker nature on all threats within the power's radius and he's untrained due to never being identified as a psyker. The Guardsmen (once they realize what's happening) stay out of his power's range and simultaneously concentrate all their firepower on him, since no psyker's powers are unlimited and overuse typically causes Very Bad Things to happen to them. Every single shot at Bane might miss or ricochet and every grenade becomes a dud, but hundreds of shots and dozens of grenades (with no source of luck to leech from) eventually causes Bane's powers to fade out and leave him open.

Give Chase with Angry Natives: The traffic cop in "The "Stealth" Mission" starts following the Guardsmen to issue them even more citations. Having a police escort makes it hard to be inconspicuous, so they eventually run a few laps through the middle of a gunfight between some Hive gangs. Their van only takes a few incidental hits; the cop on the other hand gets deliberately shot down and swarmed by kids with pipes. He is very pissed the next time he shows up.

For example, the narrator points out that fighting in vacuum and zero-G felt like the party had lost exactly 10% of their ballistic skills, and capitalizes the word "Obsession" (also a gaming term) while describing Aimy and Twitch.

Captured on Purpose: Bane Johns orders the Guardsmen to stand down and let themselves be captured. This puts them in the perfect position to attack the heads of the local conspiracy. The betrayal and capture of the Guardsmen at the end of The "Stealth" Mission is actually a plan by Inquisitor Oak to get his people into enemy-controlled territory for a vital mission. Amusingly, the Guardsmen almost ruin this plan by escaping the Arbites ship transporting them to the Inquisition. If they hadn't randomly picked Oak's ship to steal and escape in, the plan would have fallen apart completely.

Demonic Possession: During Interlude: Escape Oak explains that he has spent most of his career fighting a demon who possesses Oak's current colleague every time he manages to kill the last host. Thanks to this, it has now worked its way deep into the Inquisition.

Half the Man He Used to Be: Nubby loses both legs to a swipe from a forcesword and has them replaced with augmetics. Sergeant Gravis gets bisected through the lungs by a Hive Tyrant's bonesword. He survives. A few enemies get this treatment including a Khonate mutant that gets bisected by Cutter as well as the Heretek that takes down Cutter when the latter beats him in melee.

In the same episode, Cutter and the Rupert decide that the best way to engage a distracted Ork firing line from behind is to charge in screaming with sword upraised. Alfred and the rest of the Squad manage to keep them from getting killed, but it was a close thing.

comment
Never My Fault: Interrogator Sciscitat blames every problem in his operations on the Guardsmen and treats himself and his favorite bootlickers as completely blameless. This becomes especially galling in his second appearance when one of his subordinates actively sabotages the Guardsmen and the Interrogator chews the Guardsmen out for messing things up. In the same mission he also deliberately refused to share any details with the Guardsmen beyond their immediate objective and then gets angry when they don't act based on critical information he didn't give them.

Rewatch Bonus: Reread "What's In The Box?" after finding out what's in the box, and all the clues will be obvious in retrospect. Reread "Heretic Purging" after finding out Crisp had joined a death cult, and all of his behavior suddenly makes a lot more sense. The entire series makes much more sense after "Escape" interlude, where Oak explains that he founded the school specifically to handle the worst Interrogators and turn them into better Inquisitors.

 All Guardsmen Party (Fanfic) / int_9c1f758a
comment
Kill It with Fire: Exaggerated, even for a 40K fic. The crew of the Occurrence Border has on at least one occasion dealt with a Warp-corrupted portion of the ship by selectively lowering void shields and melting the offending portion off in a sun. Considering that the entire front end of the ship (where the bow used to be) is obviously melted over, nobody questions Old Bill if this is true.

General Failure
 All Guardsmen Party (Fanfic) / int_a01f88a7
comment
General Failure: The commanding officers in "Heretics and Pilgrims" all managed a shade of this. The Interrogator gets himself thrown in the brig after he repeatedly insults a ship's captain. His subordinates then take control of a lightly armed mob and send them into a fortified kill zone, getting them slaughtered and triggering daemonic summoning rituals. Bane Johns may get the job done stylishly, but during the post-mission discussion with Sarge it's revealed he has gotten thirty squads of agents killed to the last man. He succeeds in his mission every time, sure, but there's literally no other survivors when he's done; the whole point of Oak's initiative is to get surviving Inquisitorial teams up and running.

My God, What Have I Done?: When Doc runs away from a Flyrant, letting Sergeant Gravis get bisected (two thirds of the Inquisitorial Council ruled in his favor saying that his continuous shooting was an attempt to distract the Flyrant), the DM makes a roll and decides that Doc got an obsession with keeping the Marine alive. This manifests in the story as Doc becoming utterly determined in keeping the Marine alive until he got full medical treatment. (Though he does eventually lose the Marine's legs.) Gravis lives long enough to get put into a Dreadnaught.

MacGuffin
 All Guardsmen Party (Fanfic) / int_a6c69bd
comment
MacGuffin: The titular Box of "What's In The Box?" was the driving force for all parties involved. The soldiers wanted the Box for its weapons, the techpriests thought it was holy, the Commissariat thought it needed to be destroyed, and the Inquisition wanted to know what it was. "Good Soldiers, Bad Educators" featured a fight with various groups for control of a Necron spaceship and its cargo. The Guardsmen return the latter to Oak and never hear anything else about it. "The Xenotech Heresy" focuses on a piece of xenotech which the Mechanicus, Dark Mechanicus, Eldar, Necrons, and human nobles are trying to control. The Guardsmen don't even know what it's the same Necron ship until near the end of the mission. "The "Stealth" Mission" deals with a race between the Guardsmen and Bane and the Bitch for possession of a set of Chaos artifacts. Turns out the artifacts are just misdirection for the real MacGuffins.

comment
Only Known by Their Nickname: The Guardsmen are all known only by their nicknames - Sarge, Doc, Heavy, Cutter, Nubby, Twitch, Tink. Eventually Sarge's name is revealed - it's Greg Sargent. There's also one unnamed Interrogator, later an Inquisitor, who's only known as "the Rupert", and his batman, who is christened "Alfred" by the party. And then the Inquisitor who's their boss, who's only referred to as Professor Oak. His real name is eventually revealed by the diplomacy adept to be Quercus, which means... Oak. Meanwhile his personal Interrogator is named Ulmus which means... Elm, but they just call him "Interrogator with the dataslate". Averted by Aimy, whose name is eventually revealed to be a contraction of her Overly Long Name, Amelia Delorisista Amanita Trigestrata Zeldana Malifee von Humpeding.

Your Approval Fills Me with Shame: The team is NOT happy when the Tau praise their efforts for taking down their corrupt politician. It is left ambiguous whether or not the politician was acting on behalf of the government and was sold out when his plans were revealed or if he was a real traitor. Whatever the case, the Guardsman are disgusted with the idea of being praised by filthy aliens.

And I Must Scream: The fate of Angelica Dominicus, the Chaos-worshiping Interrogator in the aftermath of "Nubby's Girlfriend": To prevent her from escaping by charming any random mook during the trip back to Professor Oak, Doc works with the transit ship's medical crew to install a shunt in her spinal cord, completely paralyzing her from the nose down and leaving her only able to communicate by blinking in Morse code. After spending days like this in the company of Nubby, she is eventually shipped off to the Ordo Mallus to be interrogated. Unfortunately, she gets better.

Not So Stoic: The two Iron Warriors (going by their silver-and-gold paint scheme) in the climax of Good Soldiers, Bad Educators audibly groan and visibly get annoyed when their Heretek charge gets excited over the MacGuffin. Iron Warriors are 10,000 year-old siege engineers who won't bat an eye over the worst battlefield conditions and used to brutal, grinding sieges, but a nerd who won't shut up about a magic box is too much to deal with.

The Cloud Cuckoo Lander Was Right: In "What's In The Box", Twitch is convinced that the titular box is full of Orks and the non-PC Guard Regiment are all Orks in disguise. He is right on both counts. In "Tyranid Delivery Experts" Twitch becomes convinced the Tyranid zoanthrope has allied with the daemons and will unleash a horde of daemonthropes on the Guardsmen. Turns out the zoanthrope is a daemonhost, and it does spend most of its time trying to unleash an endless horde of "Daemonids" on the Occurrence Border.

Halfway Plot Switch
 All Guardsmen Party (Fanfic) / int_ace24b2c
comment
Halfway Plot Switch: The very premise of the series is a meta example - After several punishing Only War campaigns with a Killer Game Master, the surviving members of the players' regiment are suddenly hired by the Inquisition, and the players themselves are handed copies of Dark Heresy. Nubby's Girlfriend starts as a largely-espionage job that involves breaking up an entrenched genestealer cult before the authorities are forced to enact purges, until the party's current interrogator turns out to be a Chaos cultist trying to use the purges to trigger a daemonic ritual. 'Good Soldiers, Bad Educators' spends its first two-thirds following the misadventures of the Party while they try to whip a bunch of hopeless Inquisition trainees into shape, while the final third switches tone abruptly when a Necron voidship suddenly crash-lands and threatens to summon an army to the lightly-defended planet, followed by the Iron Warriors warband who had shot it down in the first place.

The Occurrence Border has competing infections of squigs and kroots which eventually interbreed into what the crew calls sqroots and kruigs.

Loophole Abuse: After the fiasco at the research facility in "The [REDACTED] Conspiracy", the Deathwatch Apothecary decides that arresting the Guardsmen is no longer his squad's responsibility. According to him, their orders were to assist the Inquisitor in his investigation, not to do it for him. Now that he's dead, they are under no obligation to do anything but report back to their Watch Station for reassignment and let the Inquisition handle it. This obvious attempt to blow it all off as not his problem and have his superiors deal with it causes the Guardsmen to feel a deep sense of camaraderie between him and themselves.

Dungeon Bypass: Twice during Heretic Purging. When faced with the prospect of fighting their way through an underground complex full of Slaaneshi cultists with nothing but pistols and knives, the Guardsmen decide to leave and call in an orbital strike on the bunker instead. Earlier, when the team enters a Tzeentchian temple they find a Chaos shrine that lashes out at them with Combat Tentacles when they try to hose it with prometheum. Rather than try and fight their way through the tentacles, they stick explosives to the wall from outside (with a very long stick) and blow it to smithereens.

Too Dumb to Fool: The party intentionally plays this part when negotiating with an Eldar Warlock by acting not only stupid, but completely insane.

It also makes him underestimate them so much that his inevitable attempt to betray them (twice) is half-assed by Eldar standards.

The Neidermeyer: Interrogator, later Inquisitor, Sciscitat is a self-aggrandizing hardass who believes himself to be the smartest man in whatever galaxy he's in at the time. He despises the Guardsmen for being dumb Guardsmen and they hate him right back. He and his sycophants go out of their way to make the Guardsmen miserable and Sciscitat is gleeful when he betrays the Guardsmen. Even Oak finds the man to be unbearable in spite of this skill as an investigator, and he's mainly training the guy to not be such a jackass.

comment
Bane Johns, the suave, hard-partying and improbably-lucky superspy, is a Spoonerism for James Bond. He's even strapped into a laser death trap by an Ork named Gol'fingy, and the dialogue from that scene is used mostly verbatim. Or more likely a reference to Archer with his flippant nonchalance.

Appropriated Appellation
 All Guardsmen Party (Fanfic) / int_c4842ab1
comment
Appropriated Appellation: "Rupert" is British military slang for a dangerously incompetent upper-class officer. The Rupert wholeheartedly adopts this term once he learns about it and insists everyone in the unit call him as such. This takes all the fun out of it for the Guardsmen, but they still call him that, even after they warm up to him.

Offscreen Moment of Awesome: Most of "Interlude: Escape" is told through a series of announcements by the ship transporting the imprisoned Guardsmen. Reading between the lines, the team played a key role in repelling a daemonic incursion and used the good will from the ship's crew to build up the uniforms and equipment to stage an escape attempt.

Shout-Out
 All Guardsmen Party (Fanfic) / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: Two characters are shout-outs to the Discworld: Nubby, the Guardsman who doesn't quite look human (to the point of having official paperwork to "prove" he's human) and steals everything not nailed down, is a blatant Expy of Nobby Nobbs. Aimy, whose full name and nobility are borrowed from another Discworld character. The warp-tainted, ramshackle free trader, the Occurrence Border, is one to Event Horizon. In fact, given that the film is all but stated to be a distant prequel to 40k, it may very well be the Event Horizon. The way the Interrogator's adepts die in "Nubby's Girlfriend" is a shoutout to Mission: Impossible. Bane Johns, the suave, hard-partying and improbably-lucky superspy, is a Spoonerism for James Bond. He's even strapped into a laser death trap by an Ork named Gol'fingy, and the dialogue from that scene is used mostly verbatim. Or more likely a reference to Archer with his flippant nonchalance. From the same episode as Bane Johns, we're given a stealth Firefly shout out from Sarge, who sprang Tink from confinement by "explaining the chain of command." The fact Sarge is covered in blood and holding a chain seems to imply he did so in Jayne's preferred manner. Heavy and his heavy stubber are basically Team Fortress 2's Heavy Weapons Guy. Tyranid Acquisition Experts has the Guardsmen team up with a squad of Space Marines to capture a Zoanthrope (a psychic Tyranid). It's Starship Troopers all over again... Twitch's insane accusation that the Emperor's Scythes are all Orks in disguise references the premise of another /tg/ classic, Deffwotch. The narrator references Red vs. Blue at multiple points, and Shoggy uses images from the show on some of the posts. The "Stealth" Mission includes an ex-Arbite traffic cop on a hive world with an extreme adherence to "the law". If his relentless pursuit of the party and later promotion to a "judge" didn't make it clear, Shoggy included a Judge Dredd reference pic with the related posts.

Hypercompetent Sidekick: The Guardsmen end up being this, due to usually being the only sane men, relatively speaking, to their Interrogators. Alfred, the Rupert's batman. The Guardsmen instantly bond with him over this. The Diplomacy Adept has this going for him as does an old female Adept they had for a previous mission. The former takes out a traitor that no one but him noticed and the latter could hide enough sidearms on her person for the entire team and she led a cleansing operation of the remaining members of a Nurgle cult.

The Door Slams You
 All Guardsmen Party (Fanfic) / int_ceb854cb
comment
The Door Slams You: Two in rapid succession during Nubby's Girlfriend. A pair of arbites blow a heavy door off its hinges and directly onto a stunned Sarge. They then proceed to address the rest of the team while standing directly on that door. Later, when Sarge gets the door off his back and raises it into position, a pair of bolter rounds slam into it, pitching him head-first into the wall and knocking him unconscious. Sarge does it to a couple security guards during The Stealth Mission when Sciscitat forbids them from killing them outright. First he hammers the door out of its frame and into a guard, then he picks up the door and hurls it at another guard.

Refuge in Audacity: During "Dude, Where's My Psyker?" the Guardsmen, an assassin, and some unstable psykers need to infiltrate the governor's palace when his forces are on alert to the Inquisition's presence. The party proceeds to enter "disguised" as a group of Guardsmen, an assassin, and some unstable psykers sent as reinforcements to defend against the Inquisition. While escaping the scene of a recent massacre which police are swarming to, Sarge just has his men walk back in full view with their full weapons loadout. No sane cop is going to question armed Guardsmen on leave, especially when there's somewhere more important to be.

Training from Hell: The party's backstory, played through in a marathon session as a series of bloody Only War campaigns before they switched to Dark Heresy. Also applies to what they eventually put their Inquisitorial trainees through. The Guardsmen's Grav-chute training consists of getting a quick how-to from the scout marine teaching them and being pushed down an elevator shaft. According to the Scout, this is how he was trained himself.

Dead Person Conversation: Lots of them when the Occurrence Border's questionable Gellar Field network starts to fail, including with the deceased Crisp, Heavy, Cutter and the Scout Marine.

The Fool: Bane Johns, the squad's fifth Interrogator: despite what seems like a surfeit of confidence and a lack of strategic planning or common sense, every event in his mission seems to go his way without fail. Turns out he's a psyker with previously undiscovered Reality Warper tendencies who can casually arrange probability to go in his favor - by siphoning away the luck of his teammates or anyone nearby, leading to their (probably) swift death while leaving Bane unharmed. It's also deconstructed, since a lifetime of everything effortlessly going his own way has turned Johns into a psychopathic hedonist with no conscience.

Holy Hand Grenade: Faced with a Chaos shield which won't yield to gunfire or explosives, the Guardsmen decide to use faith - a combination of barrels of promethium, wheelbarrows of assorted holy relics (volunteered by pilgrims who found "we're going to use it to blow up some heretics" a very good reason to part with them), and every explosive they could find blessed by every priest they could find. Not coincidentally, the post's image is the Trope Namer.

Truce Zone: It turns out one of these actually manages to exist between the Imperium and the Tau. This hazy region of space contains such heresies as humans and aliens living together peacefully, religious freedom, and better-functioning government. On the other hand, the Guardsmen also notice a lack of certain freedoms they would have on Imperial worlds, such as walking around with their armaments on display, security checkpoints which don't allow for armaments, and vehicles which are all fitted with monitoring equipment and speed-o-meter triggered autobrakes. After their rude awakening, Sarge has Tink and Nubby figure out ways around such nuisances.

Hate Sink: Sciscitat and his retinue. The majority of the "The Stealth Mission" consists of them doing literally everything they can to make the squad miserable or get them killed, simply because they can.

Phlebotinum-Induced Stupidity
 All Guardsmen Party (Fanfic) / int_e5ffeb19
comment
Phlebotinum-Induced Stupidity: During The "Stealth" Mission, the Guardsmen learn that a Chaos artifact held by a high-level crimelord, who would normally try and keep it a secret, is the prize of a high-stakes poker game. Their associated interrogators leap at the opportunity to participate until the lead inquisitor (up in orbit) bawls them out for their stupidity. Why the plot suddenly became the setup to a Bond film is not a property of the artifact itself, but rather Bane Johns, the Interplanetary Man of Mystery. Bane Johns's psyker power causes women to become obsessed with him and behave like lovestruck idiots.

Suspiciously Specific Denial: The team buys a truck loaded with barrels which the owner, completely unprompted, assures them contain no Orks. The team, especially Twitch, finds this very concerning.

Accidental Truth: During The Xenotech Heresy Sarge claims that there is an entire heretek fleet chasing the archaeotech in order to keep the techpriests in line. Just after he finally admits he's lying, a heretek fleet drops out of the Warp.

Ramp Jump: During "The 'Stealth' Mission" the Guardsmen jump their vehicle across a gap in a Hive bridge. The moment is made decidedly less awesome by the fact they're driving a shitty van which barely makes the distance.

comment
Comically Inept Healing: Due to the abnormal anatomy and physiology of Space Marines and the side-effects of Tyranid biovenom, Doc and Tink's attempts to administer first aid to Sergeant Gravis quickly devolves into this. Doc pulls himself together and actually gives Gravis (or at least his upper half) treatment, but Tink keeps insisting they follow the advice of his heretical Tau cartoons (produced by xenos scum that don't know anything about the subject).

Exact Words
 All Guardsmen Party (Fanfic) / int_e9e35e8f
comment
Exact Words: Mention is made of how entire armies can be mustered and deployed to worlds only to be forgotten by the Administratum long enough for them to literally build a new life, start families, and die. The Guardsmen imagine that when new orders finally do arrive, their relatives probably dig up the bodies to present them for muster. When the Judge Dredd-expy Governor Marshall protests using an Arbite ship's brig to transport, to quote Sciscitat, "Unimportant prisoners", Sciscitat flippantly suggests just shoving the Guardsmen in a laundry room instead. Much to the befuddlement of the ship's crew, the Governor Marshall does just that and has them placed into the ship's laundry room.

Groin Attack
 All Guardsmen Party (Fanfic) / int_eaf5a1ac
comment
Groin Attack: Nubby's preferred method of melee combat. Especially effective after he's given augmetic legs. Cutter does this too, though not always successfully as his targets sometimes have augmetics of their own. Aimy grabs, squeezes and *twists* a half-Ogryn's goods until he falls down on top of her.

Mundane Utility: The Occurrence Border at some point acquired an ancient statue of an insectoid god that drives anyone who looks at it insane. The crew used its various arms to prop up some energy conduits, and throw a tarp over it if they're doing maintenance.

 All Guardsmen Party (Fanfic) / int_f06b07ff
comment
Locked Out of the Loop: Happens to the Guardsmen for most of "The Stealth Mission", courtesy of Sciscitat deeming them too stupid to trust with details of the mission. It isn't until the ceasefire with the other Inquisitorial team they mistakenly engaged that they finally learn what's going on... and Sciscitat's "don't tell the idiot Guardsmen anything" policy starts to actively backfire on him, a fact that he refuses to acknowledge or apologize for.

The Alleged Car
 All Guardsmen Party (Fanfic) / int_f237981e
comment
The Alleged Car: The second-hand Warp-ship known as the Occurrence Border which has been called a "glorified Space Hulk". The first thing that the team notices about it is that the entire bow and half of the ship's total length is missing and crudely welded over, and it only gets worse from there. It does make it perfect as an Inquisition base though, since everyone assumes nobody of any importance would be caught dead in the thing. The party also obtains and drives self-described "shitty vans" on three separate occasions. Enforced during "The 'Stealth' Mission" when the party is given the shitty van to end all shitty vans. Every request to modify it, such as adding working air conditioning or actual seats, is vetoed by a tech priest on the grounds of it being "heretical". In reality, the tech priest just really hates the Guardsmen, and this is just one of many ways he tries to fuck them over over the course of the mission.

The All-Concealing "I"
 All Guardsmen Party (Fanfic) / int_f3594e1
comment
The All-Concealing "I": Shoggy narrates the stories as though he were a member of the Guardsmen. However he never reveals which character he is in-game, referring to each member of the team in third person. That said, when the guards split into multiple groups, he tends to refer to groups containing Nubby as "we" more often than groups without him.

 All Guardsmen Party (Fanfic) / int_f7d66b6f
comment
No-Gear Level: Downplayed in "The 'Stealth' Mission", as the team is forced to leave behind all of their custom weapons, munitions, and Spot. They're reduced to a standard Guardsman's kit and have to scrounge up non-standard supplementary weapons to survive. Played straight with the "Interlude: Escape" and "Inquisitorial Penal Legion" as the team is stripped of all equipment at the start of each mission.

Attack! Attack! Attack!: One of the side-effects of the weapons from What's In The Box?, due to their wielders being infected with Orkoid mindsets. In the same episode, Cutter and the Rupert decide that the best way to engage a distracted Ork firing line from behind is to charge in screaming with sword upraised. Alfred and the rest of the Squad manage to keep them from getting killed, but it was a close thing.
