Gaunt's Ghosts	comment	Gaunt's Ghosts is a series of novels by Dan Abnett, set in the Warhammer 40,000 universe. Sometimes described as "Sharpe meets Warhammer 40k", the series follows a band of soldiers in the ultimate Crapsack Universe, exploring war settings ranging from airborne assault to trench fighting.note The Sharpe inspiration was lampshaded in the third book, Necropolis, which refers to the troops singing the marching song "Over the Skies and Far Away", a case of Sharpe's signature "Over the Hills and Far Away" IN SPACE!The books follow Colonel-Commissar Ibram Gaunt and the Tanith First-and-Only, a single regiment within the trillions-strong Imperial Guard. Nicknamed the "Ghosts", the series focuses on the Tanith's experiences as a tiny part of a vast decades-long crusade to liberate the Sabbat Worlds from Chaos. Written in a style reminiscent of Bernard Cornwell's massively successful Sharpe series, the series has been well received, its strong points including believable battles, capturing the "feel" of the gothic far-future Warhammer 40,000, and a realistic portrayal of the Imperial Guard as actual humans. Gaunt's Ghosts is the longest-running and the most successful book series set in the 40k universe written by a single author. (Only The Horus Heresy beats it out on both number of volumes and sales, but that's a collaborative effort of many writers).Thirteen novels and a number of short stories have been published so far: First & Only: The Ghosts fight to retake the forge world of Fortis Binary, but there is far more at stake than any of them realises. Ghostmaker: On Monthax, Gaunt recalls the Ghosts' founding and some of their past exploits, even as the present gets interesting with the presence of an Inquisitor and another alien faction. Necropolis: The Ghosts are sent to defend the city of Vervunhive. Honour Guard: Gaunt undertakes a desperate mission to recover the bones of Saint Sabbat from the Shrinehold on Hagia. The Guns of Tanith: The Ghosts perform a series of dropship raids on Mountaintop cities on Phantine, in an attempt to eliminate Chaos Warlord Saggitar Slaith. Straight Silver: The Ghosts engage in trench warfare to try and win a forty-year long land war. Sabbat Martyr: On Herodor, Saint Sabbat is reincarnated. Chaos will have none of that, and the Ghosts have to fend off both conventional forces and Nine assassins. Traitor General: Gaunt and a small team of Ghosts are sent to infiltrate the Chaos-held world of Gereon. Their mission is to eliminate a traitor, one who is all too familiar. His Last Command: Gaunt and his team return from Gereon and find themselves suspected of Chaos taint, while the rest of the Ghosts have been integrated into a new unit. There is more than meets the eye to the ongoing siege, though. The Armour of Contempt: The Ghosts return to Gereon as part of the liberating Guard warhost, but the Inquisition has its own plans. Only In Death: The Ghosts are sent to Jago to guard the eastern fortress of Hinzerhaus from Chaos, but the enemy is closer than command thinks, and the house itself is more sinister than it looks. Blood Pact: The return to Balhaut for billet has left the Ghosts restless and Gaunt wishes to get back to the war. He really, really should know better. Salvation's Reach: The Ghosts embark on a mission to raid a critical Chaos facility in hopes of turning the tide of the Crusade in the Imperium's favor. Unfortunately, it also happens to be a suicide mission. The Warmaster: The Ghosts are deployed to the forge world of Urdesh to defend against an attack by Anarch Sek. However, the battle may just be a diversion to distract from the enemy's true goal: the elimination of Imperial Warmaster Macaroth himself. Anarch: Set in the immediate aftermath of The Warmaster, Gaunt struggles to adjust to the demands of his new position, as well as deal with figures from his past. However, Anarch Sek's attempt to cut the head off crusade command isn't over and the threat is considerably closer than anyone can imagine.Additionally, the Sabbat Worlds Crusade setting has essentially spawned a mini-continuity within the Warhammer 40,000 universe, with a number of additional works that are not limited to just Gaunt's Ghosts.There is "The Sabbat Worlds Crusade" written as an Imperial history of the early part of the central campaign of the novels. An updated edition has been been announced and is slated for release in November of 2019.The series also has a spinoff, Double Eagle, focusing on the fighter squadron introduced in The Guns of Tanith which has its own planned, but unwritten, sequel, Interceptor City. Titanicus is not a direct spin off but it's set during the Sabbat Worlds Crusade. There is also the anthology Sabbat Worlds, a collection of short stories written by other Black Library authors including Abnett which are set during the Crusade. Another collection Sabbat Crusade is to be released shortly.In 2021, Abnett started releasing a spinoff series entitled Ghost Dossier, which consists of novel-length tales of standalone Ghost adventures that happened some time between the other stories, which allows for the return of long killed-off characters.

Gaunt's Ghosts / int_106f1a77	type	A Form You Are Comfortable With
Gaunt's Ghosts / int_106f1a77	comment	A Form You Are Comfortable With: In Ghostmaker, the Eldar Dire Avengers do this. Rawne's squad believes that they are Tanith Guardsmen, and that the entire team is fighting to save Tanith. The oddity comes with Milo noting that they have rather odd hairstyles, and The Reveal only comes when Larkin is reduced to a quivering wreck, showing Milo that his scope really does 'see everything as it truly is' by revealing their true appearances. The only person to notice the speech errors was Milo, who is implied to have unacknowledged psyker talents. It also turns out that the Eldar were surprised by this, too. And didn't do too much to cover their disguises. The exarch keeps calling Rawne 'Rawne-human'. Inverted with Anakwanar Sek. He seems to take the form of whatever will intimidate the viewer the most; four different characters looking at him see completley different things.

Heâ€™s afraid of death and therefore afraid of combat, and eventually his fears give Merynâ€™s gang leverage on him, which only makes things worse.

Attempts to use bayonets and grenades don't kill him. Finally, Mkoll shoves his last breaching charge down the man's throat.

Artificial Limbs Are Stronger: Hark and Varl have an augmetic hand and shoulder respectively, and can punch through solid objects and break bones with a single jab. In Anarch, Domor can see in the dark with his artificial eyes even when a daemon woe machine has disabled all electricity-powered light. Gaunt gains almost psychic powers after having his eyes replaced, although it's uncertain whether the effect is due to the new augmetic eyes or the fact that his original eyes were removed by Chaos.

He is shot in their self-defence, and then has a large metallic-coloured skeletal monster Body Horror come out of him that the group also has to kill.

Gaunt's Ghosts / int_260926c3	comment	Failure Is the Only Option: Gaunt was promised the first planet he conquered. Thus far, it looks like no one will ever admit that he conquered one. Gaunt himself admits that it is incredibly unlikely because his regiment, the Tanith First-and-Only, is a Reconnaissance/Infiltration regiment, and thus doesn't have the sheer numbers required to conquer a planet. Strangely, this doesn't get brought up very often. The only real mention of that promise after the first arc is in Only In Death, where Curth warns Gaunt that he'd better not conquer the planet, as the Ghosts would lynch him if they had to muster out on Jago.

When this allows Asphodel's men to enter the city through his pipeline, he starts covering his tracks through a long list of murders of his assistants and people investigating his crime. In Warmaster Meryn and his flunkies hatch a half-baked scheme to extort money from Gauntâ€™s son, Felyx. The scheme immediately goes awry when Felyx proves to be a girl and much tougher than they thought. This leads to one of them immediately trying to kill Felyx, which fails but leads to three deaths and an equally half-baked coverup by Meryn, who keeps trying to murder his way out of the hole heâ€™s dug for himself. Meryn is not good at crime, and the Galaxy is better off without him.

Especially in a conversation with Mabbon over what to do with Maggs, who had only a short while before been temporarily possessed by a Chaos witch. The above point is further driven home by the fact that the situation with Maggs is reminscent of what happened to Gaunt and his team after being extracted from Gereon: they were under massive scrutiny by the Inquisition solely because they had been on a Chaos-held planet for an extended period of time. Chaos is viewed as The Corruption, and other Dan Abnett books have shown Imperial forces hesitating very little when it came to killing people who had been mind-controlled by psykers or otherwise forced into service by agents of Chaos.

Gaunt's Ghosts / int_3b0479f2	comment	You Shall Not Pass!: This is not the sort of combat the Ghosts are best at, but they have done it at Vervunhive and Hinzerhaus, taking appalling casualties in the process. On a smaller scale, individual squads and companies of the Ghosts have had to make this kind of last stand in First and Only (Sgt. Blane's squad didn't make it), Straight Silver (most of Corporal Meryn's did), and His Last Command (Col. Wilder and his men were vaporized to the last man).

Gaunt's Ghosts / int_474e3977	type	You Have Failed Me
Gaunt's Ghosts / int_474e3977	comment	You Have Failed Me: Gaunt himself is notable for largely averting this trope, which is unusual for a Comissar, who are expected to shoot anyone who even thinks of not doing their duty. However, Gaunt plays it straight a few times. Once in First & Only when he executes his Uncle Dercius for leaving his father's unit to be wiped out, which comes back to bite him later. Once in Necropolis when he executes Modile, the officer responsible for coordinating communication between the various Guard and PDF regiments in his section of the war for Vervunhive. Modile shut down the vox network when a battle started to go south, leading to many lost lives as the soldiers awaited orders or called for backup, and winds up getting shot in the head by Gaunt for his cowardice. He attempts to play it again once more in Necropolis when Sturm attempts to flee the planet, but he winds up just cutting off Sturm's arm when he tries to shoot Gaunt in the back. Sturm finally does the job himself in Traitor General. He shoots two guard troopers in Straight Silver for stealing medical supplies and assaulting Dorden, and he also goes to execute a Ghost trooper in the same book for being drunk on duty during his turn at the watch, but he's stopped by Dorden, who wasn't happy with the earlier executions. By and large, the times Gaunt does execute someone, they've really earned it, and more often then not he's more likely to try to build them back up and inspire them to be their best than shoot everyone left and right. In Honour Guard he even stops the newly attached Hark from shooting some fleeing troopers, saying that A) it's Gaunt's responsibility to discipline the Ghosts, and B) they're running from a Baneblade Super Heavy Tank.

People won't even give him a break about his name (If he says he can't do something, the reply will invariously be, "Can't, cant, or won't?"). We also have this little Gem said by Rawne to Meryn, which implies that getting shot by Cant would be so pathetic that it would be a shameful death, no matter the other circumstances. Even Gaunt gets in on it. When he's stuck in a standoff and Rawne's squad comes in to back him up, Gaunt asks Rawne if everybody's armed and pointing their guns at the other guy, not him. When Rawne replies with an affirmative, Gaunt asks, "Even Cant?" The entirety of V Company. The Tanith are a combat formation, so it comes as a bit of a shock when theyâ€™re assigned a color band. Nobody gives V Company any respect and theyâ€™re chronically held out of the fighting, which drives their first company commander into a brutal downward spiral. After the Liberation of Urdesh the Ghosts struggle coming up with a candidate for a new captain who wonâ€™t consider the command an insult.

There is also the implication in Salvation's Reach that Ravenor suffers a Downer Ending. The fact that Abnett has referred to the next series of Inquisitor books as Eisenhorn versus Ravenor would seem to support this.

After those books, the Ghosts fought mainly rank and file Chaos forces, and when the Traitor Marines showed up, they were MUCH harder to beat. In Sabbat Martyr another Chaos Dreadnought appears, and requires a combination of Gaunt's power sword opening holes in the armor, a local officer using a grenade to blow out the ground underneath the Dreadnought to knock it off balance, and a pack of Ghost flame troopers all unloading on it at once. Likewise a group of Chaos Marines encountered in Traitor General are much harder to kill than early on in the series, as well as eliciting an Oh, Crap! reaction from Gaunt the second he sees them.

Gaunt's Ghosts / int_56549b6d	comment	Scotireland: Most planets in Warhammer 40K are derived from one Earth culture or another, and Tanith was the generalised "pastoral Celtic" one. Many of the Ghosts use Scottish or Welsh elements in their names — the Scottish Mk- prefix and Welsh w's, l's, and y's (Wheln is a good example). This may be another Sharpe influence, as Sharpe has featured many Irish characters and dwells on the theme of their homeland being "lost", albeit in a different way. Oan Mkoll is a Shout-Out to folksinger Ewen Mac Coll, who revived many traditional Scottish songs. Also, there's their liberal use of blue tattoos... There are also their silver knives (think dirks), their "Black Irish" appearance of pale skin and black hair, Milo's bagpipes... Many Scottish laments could be about Tanith if read in the right context, as they are often about leavetaking, losing one's home to the enemy, and never returning. The story of Lost Tanith is at least partially "Wild Geese" and "'45 Rebellion".

Gaunt's Ghosts / int_56d5b88f	type	Divided We Fall
Gaunt's Ghosts / int_56d5b88f	comment	Divided We Fall: First & Only is driven by two rivalries: between the Ghosts and the Jantine Patricians, and between Dravere and Macaroth. Indeed, the first rivalry, and its Revenge, is used to cover up other intrigues — and this in the face of the forces of Chaos! In Ghostmaker, they have another rivalry between the Ghosts and the Volpone Bluebloods. While the Bluebloods themselves are not all evil (at worst, Blueblood guardsmen are just haughty and elitist) their commanders once wittingly ordered an artillery bombardment where they knew the Ghosts were currently encamped, and at the climax, two officers are in a brawl until a Chaos beast actually erupts on them, killing several of their troopers. In Traitor General, Sturm blamed his fall on Gaunt's unwillingness to let the past go and jockeying for power. He realizes the truth, in time. And of course there's Rawne, Gaunt's own third-in command, who has tried to kill Gaunt himself on several occasions. Admittedly this was because he blamed Gaunt for saving only his regiment and not allowing them to fight the forces of Chaos at their Founding, forcing the regiment to abandon its home and people - even though doing so would have done no practical good at all, and would have rendered the Tanith people totally extinct. In the Sabbat Worlds Crusade spinoff Titanicus, a member of Adeptus Mechanicus reveals a purported proof that the Omnissiah and the Emperor are not one and the same, contrary to the accepted Imperial dogma. This results in almost total rupture within the Mechanicus order and with the Imperial forces, with religious disputes quickly causing factions to fight both each other and the blasphemous machine men / uneducated fleshbags arrayed against them — while their planet is being invaded. Fortunately, Varco's Heroic Sacrifice revealed more invaders, so they went to fight them instead. One conspirator, lamenting that Fire Forged Friendship would prevent support, reveals that the evidence had been tampered with before it was distributed, as part of a power ploy. Afterward, they do notice that "this was a power ploy" does not exactly exclude "this was true". They decide to black it out anyway, because even if true, the ensuing schism would be fatal to both sides.

The Ghosts appear to be based off of Celts or Irishmen, as Tanith was divided into various counties and city-states and Milo, their musician, plays what are clearly supposed to be bagpipes. The planet Aexe-Cardinal also appears to be based somewhat on Imperial Germany, as many of its towns and cities sound German while Shadik soldiers there shout "Grenatze!" in the same way Germans shout "Granate!", both of which refer to a grenade. The planet is also seemingly stuck in the 1910s, as bolt-action autoguns, triplanes, and organic cavalry are also being used in the war, to bring the World War 1 parallels even more to the fore.

In The Warmaster, the entire Tanith First and Only ends up as this when a bad warp translation launches them ten years into the future.

This is most likely a jab at the trend to model marine squad leaders without helmets to make them more badass. Ordinarily the fight would go the other way, but we're talking here about a lot of crossbows.

He is still badly hurt and the rose breaks to imbed pieces of it in him, rendering him unconscious for almost a month and almost dying anyway, but it was still preferable to a foot-wide exit wound. In Salvation's Reach, Cant's cap badge turns Sirkle's should-have-been fatal garrotting into only a serious wound.

Gaunt's Ghosts / int_904530eb	comment	Recycled In SPACE: Abnett takes familiar historical battle settings and transposes them to the 40k universe. Necropolis is essentially the Battle of Stalingrad. Scenes of hellish urban warfare? Check. Desperate civilian volunteers? Check. Sniper duels? Check. Tank battles? Check. Murderously overzealous commissars? Check and check. About the only thing missing is the repeated bombing raids, since the Shield prevents the Zoicans from deploying any air power. Double Eagle is the Battle of Britain and the earlier Battle of France with vector-engined supersonic jet fighters, with elements of the Dunkirk evacuation thrown in. The Guns of Tanith features an Operation Market Garden-esque mass paradrop... onto a mountaintop city sticking out of poisonous clouds. Straight Silver has World War I trench fighting... with lasers. The Vincula Insurgency (Ghost Dossier 1) is a War on Terror-esque nation-building exercise on a recently conquered but only nominally pacified planet.

Larkin however discovers the ruse when he looks at the white-haired colonel from "Tanith Dale" through his long-las scope and sees that he's actually an Eldar. Also, Milo (possibly a latent psyker), hears "Colonel Munnol" refer to Rawne as "Rawne-human", and he sees that the weapon Munnol is carrying is most certainly not a lasgun, but Rawne and the others notice none of this strangeness.

One method is detailed in Traitor General: using a Warp creature to inhale an entire ocean and transfer it to another planet for which the Archenemy requires water. They also import xeno-crops to build up their food supply, which depletes the soil until nothing can grow.

Gaunt's Ghosts / int_9dab0a6e	type	Continuity Nod
Gaunt's Ghosts / int_9dab0a6e	comment	Continuity Nod: (On several occasions, Gaunt makes reference to the book Spheres of Longing, which was authored by Inquisitor Gideon Ravenor. Abnett fans would know that Ravenor stars in his own running Warhammer 40k series also authored by Abnett. A preemptive Continuity Nod: Abnett created Ravenor and his book as scenery dressing, and didn't start thinking of him as a character with his own adventures until much later — and that was after he'd already served as a supporting character in Abnett's chronologically-earlier Eisenhorn novels. According to interviews with Abnett, most of his "continuity nods" are the result of happy accidents like this. The Eisenhorn / Ravenor stories were also foreshadowed by Gaunts Ghosts. In one book, Gaunt recalls Ravenor describing the terrible fate of his master. Although Eisenhorn had become a radical by the end his series and was well established as one in Ravenor, it was hardly a terrible fate. There is also the implication in Salvation's Reach that Ravenor suffers a Downer Ending. The fact that Abnett has referred to the next series of Inquisitor books as Eisenhorn versus Ravenor would seem to support this. Another Abnett novel, Brothers of the Snake, received the same treatment. The Iron Snakes Space Marine Chapter originally only received a brief mention in Necropolis. Later, Salvation's Reach has an Iron Snake assisting the Ghosts. Similarly, the character of Inquisitor Heldane, who gets killed off in First And Only, also would only get developed further in the Eisenhorn novels. Double Eagle features Leguin as a secondary character. He was originally introduced in Honour Guard as, well, a secondary character. There are a few mentions of Tanith in the Adeptus Mechanicus-themed book Titanicus: sacra, and a cameo character is described as a Tanith emigree. A very subtle one in Blood Pact. One of the Blood Pact infiltrators is named Samus. In the short story Forgotten, set during Salvation's Reach, Larkin tells the story of meeting an angel in Ghostmaker.

Gaunt's Ghosts / int_a6b14ee1	type	Hollywood Tactics
Gaunt's Ghosts / int_a6b14ee1	comment	Hollywood Tactics: If they're used by Imperials, it's usually due to an incompetent commander. Chaos forces, on the other hand, tend to use head-on charges a lot, relying on the fact that they always seem to have massive edge in manpower. The latter, however, is actually explained in Necropolis - Chaos taint can turn the entire corrupted populations, including women, elderly and children, into fanatically fearless fighters. Mabbon mentions this in Traitor General as one of the reasons he's changing his allegiance from Gaur to Sek. The Ghosts' specialty is fast, precision strikes and stealth reconnaissance. Two instances where they are put into situations that don't play to those strengths are the action on Aexe-Cardinal (essentially World War I-style trench warfare, and Gaunt is able to pull some strings to get at least some of them assigned to a recon mission) and the defense of Hinzerhaus on Jago (the intelligence they were given was faulty to begin with, and the mission soon became a bloody siege in which the greatly outnumbered Ghosts lost half their strength; Gaunt later has a discussion with Lord General Van Voytz where he angrily told his Lordship never to put the Ghosts into such an unbalanced conflict again). They're also sent into an assault on an island chain in one of the anecdotes in Ghostmaker, causing a lot of casualties to them while the heavy infantry Volpone Bluebloods are sent in after the Ghosts had already been delivered onto the beach instead of the Bluebloods doing it beforehand, though it's said in the narration that Gaunt was pressured into volunteering the Ghosts to save face.

Not only is it in very poor condition, but it is possible that his new lasgun is tainted by Chaos. Since he is too afraid to admit that he had used a corrupted weapon, Merrt keeps the rifle for the next campaign and starts to believe that it is cursed and will bring his doom. Eventually, he decides to overcome the gun's evil influence with his own strength of will and, although it jams on several occasions, manages to survive the defense of the Hinzerhaus fortress, finally deciding to leave it behind him.

Sanian starts as wishing for a purpose. After discovering that her purpose is war, she is theninhabited by the very saint the war is being fought for. Milo spends most of the time pining for Sanian after they part. When they are reunited, Sanian is effectively gone, supplanted by the personality of Saint Sabbat, and Milo can't recognize her because of this. He does get to go with her, though. In Anarch, the Tanith First are showered with compliments by the Lord General in charge of their theatre, described as a prestige unit, famously specialised, a vital asset, trustworthy and valued for their abilities - and precisely for these reasons they're ordered to hold an impossible line that already broke another regiment.

Gaunt's Ghosts / int_b7920c43	comment	Lost in Translation: The Polish translation of The Guns of Tanith was titled Karabiny Tanith (literally: The Rifles of Tanith). Since the original English title is a reference to The Guns of Navarone, translated into Polish as DziaÅ‚a Nawarony, the proper choice of words would be DziaÅ‚a Tanith.

Similarly, Colonel Zhyte of the Urdeshi shock troopers in The Guns of Tanith gets angry when Gaunt tries to vox him during the assault on Cirenholm to warn him that the Blood Pact have rigged some of the corridors with void shields. Zhyte calls Gaunt a 'piece of shit' who is leading an untried regiment that was 'born yesterday', compared with his Urdeshi 7th Storm Troop, which has a thousand-year history and honor pennants in the Imperial Palace on Terra. He pays the price for his arrogance minutes later when, ignoring Gaunt's warning, he leads his troopers forward and is literally cut in half by one of the void shields.

His advice and push for fresh tactics has gone ignored, so he decides to accompany Gaunt and the Tanith First on a mission to find and if possible sabotage the new artillery the enemy has deployed. He performs a Heroic Sacrifice to destroy the rail lines leading to the massive guns, cutting off their resupply and leaving them useless until the Guard later destroys them.

Gaunt's Ghosts / int_bce16d24	comment	Why Don't You Just Shoot Him?: A plot point in His Last Command is why the Imperium are engaged in a prolonged and bloody ground war to take heavily fortified and compartmentalized cities, complete with vicious Made of Iron predators that stalk Imperium forces at night, instead of just having the Navy glassing all enemy positions on the planet. The reason given is that the cities may be sacred to the Imperial faith. Once Gaunt and his men prove that they could not be further from this, being active Warp portals that Chaos is sending men through, Van Voytz promptly decides that the planet can go to hell and orders said bombardment be carried out as soon as his men are pulled back.

Gaunt's Ghosts / int_c4e519dd	type	Little Hero, Big War
Gaunt's Ghosts / int_c4e519dd	comment	Little Hero, Big War: The Ghosts are often fighting on secondary fronts or places that are considered minor battles compared to the rest of the Crusade. Because of this, most of their achievements are often lost in obscurity. Even so, the History of the Later Imperial Crusades, the history book whose quotes preface each story often mention the Ghost's involvement in certain theatres, even if only vaguely. The Sabbats World Crusade book runs on this in comparison to the novels. For example, the Siege of Vervunhive, the entirety of Necropolis, is given only a single paragraph and is probably one of the more detailed accounts of engagements featuring the Ghosts. The fall of Tanith doesn't even warrant a whole sentence. But subverted in Sabbat Martyr. Gaunt at one point asks the eponymous Saint why she's on Herodor, a meaningless world in the hinterlands of the Crusade's second front, instead of with the main front armies at Morlond. She responds that it's all a matter of strategy: if the Archenemy had pressed the second front a little bit harder, they might have split the Crusade clean in two and wreaked untold havoc. Instead, they're wasting their collective time on a meaningless planet trying to kill her. Sometimes the little battles actually are disproportionately important.

Gaunt's Ghosts / int_ca95473c	comment	Series Continuity Error: A series with 20+ installments written over 20+ years naturally accumulate continuity errors. In Necropolis, Gol Kolea's children Dalin and Yoncy are both young boys. In later novels, they are a boy and girl. This continuity error was eventually lampshaded and finally reconned in Anarch, where they are revealed to be woe machines. A smaller example across the second and third book concerning Trooper Merrt. He's shot in the jaw in Necropolis and the intended reading was that he bleed out "off-screen". However, in a later book he's mentioned as being alive. Realizing he'd made that error, the author Retconed him into having survived the shot to the head, having his now-characteristic augmentic jaw installed. A small one in Anarch, where Zhukova is described as "the closest thing they had to a fully fledged scout" while Maggs is standing in the same room. In earlier novels, Maggs was noted as being the only Belladon scout and one of Mkoll's favourites.

Gaunt's Ghosts / int_cb70651c	comment	Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane: Toyed with in Saint Sabbat's first few appearances, but it doesn't last. Also, the Larkin's mysterious encounter in Ghostmaker. In a mission to sneak into a Chaos-held city and snipe its leader, Larkin loses it and abandons the mission team. He holes up in a room high up on a tower with a statue of an Imperial Angel - which he imagines talking to him, convincing him to do his duty and giving him a strip of cloth to help steady his aim. He ends up taking out the Chaos warlord, then passes out. When he comes to, other Ghosts are helping him up, and the Angel is just a statue again - but his long-las is sitting in the corner with a band of silk tied to it, and the stone statue's robe is missing a strip from it that matches the silk wrapping his weapon. Larkin's scope does this also in Ghostmaker. He is able to see through the Eldar mind-trick, and Milo, using the scope is also able to do so. However, Milo is a latent psyker while Larkin is...touched. So is the scope genuinely able to see the truth, or was it because the only people that looked through it had differences in their minds?

Gaunt's Ghosts / int_ce6555f0	comment	Lighter and Softer: It's a strange and rather grim fact that the Gaunt novels, (and for that matter most other novels set in the 'verse) present the better side of the Warhammer 40,000 universe. While the galaxy is undeniably a brutal place, the presence of predominantly sympathetic characters, a portrayal of Imperial society as generally functioning, and a few genuine miracles and supernatural agents of good, primarily those relating to Saint Sabbat, soften the GRIMDARK portrayed by the tabletop game's lore. This is arguably both necessary and perhaps even an improvement.

Chaos is viewed as The Corruption, and other Dan Abnett books have shown Imperial forces hesitating very little when it came to killing people who had been mind-controlled by psykers or otherwise forced into service by agents of Chaos.

He also looks after dying soldiers so they don't have to die alone. sniff Necropolis has another example of one. When Gaunt installs a makeshift command centre in an Imperial cathedral, he clearly expects the local high priest to be enraged with the Guard disturbing the sacred place. The man of cloth calmly answers that active fight against the Chaos has more worth in the eyes of the Emperor than thousands of his prayers.

Gaunt's Ghosts / int_d39e327f	comment	What the Hell, Hero?: Gaunt, as a political officer, is supposed to execute his men in order to keep morale up. He manages to avoid doing this... most of the time. Doc Dorden is quick to call him out and attempt to stop him every time. More specifically, Meryn likes to cross this line very often. First, he kills several Phantine civilians in order to preserve the secrecy of their covert mission, which naturally unnerves his squaddies. Second, he brutally beats Soric when he admits he's a psyker. Suffice to say, Gaunt wasn't very happy with the latter incident. In Salvation's Reach, Meryn has a clear shot at an assassin who takes Yoncy hostage, but instead cowers in fear. A number of Ghosts witness this, including Kolea, who beats the crap out of him.

Double Eagle, the spin-off novel which features Imperial pilots as main protagonists, shows the natural competition between different squadrons lifted up to eleven the elite and incredibly arrogant Apostles. One twist is that the Phantine pilots are Guard soldiers (There isn't much usable land on Phantine, so they can't really train infantry very well, but everyone knows how to fly), while all the other (non-PDF) pilots are Navy, which places them in a separate chain of command.

Gaunt's Ghosts / int_e19e68	comment	Cruel Mercy: One of the several battles in Ghostmaker involves the leader of a Chaos army being captured. Caffran essentially single handily tricked his entire army into thinking that they had been routed, whereupon they committed ritualistic suicide. As a reward, Gaunt offers Caffran the honor of executing the enemy leader. Caffran refuses however, not out of sympathy, but because the Chaos leader worships death and was actually looking forward to being killed. The second the Chaos leader hears this, he begins to suffer a Villainous Breakdown and Gaunt remarks that he'll probably be promoting Caffran soon.

Gaunt's Ghosts / int_e1fa8421	comment	Dead Person Conversation: Several characters often have recurring dreams where they converse with previously dead characters. This is a key plot point in Honor Guard, but most notable is poor old Larkin, who literally hallucinates conversations with Bragg whenever he's feeling slightly more unhinged than normal. Becomes a plot point again in Only in Death when Larkin starts seeing Bragg, after years of not hallucinating him. Rawne also joins in on the fun by seeing Corbec. Whether or not theyâ€™re visions are just that (both characters have had a history with hallucinations) or genuine hauntings is kept a mystery until the very end - turns out A Wizard Did It.

Gaunt's Ghosts / int_ee7ed46e	type	The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything
Gaunt's Ghosts / int_ee7ed46e	comment	The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything: Imperial commissars are famous for summary executions. Gaunt, like his mentor Oktar before him, believes that the authority to kill anyone for disloyalty is best used very rarely, and usually not on field troops. The series in general derides the 'execution-happy' commissar as a man who may get better results for the moment, but will degrade his unit's overall effectiveness until his unexpected but inevitable scragging. Part of this is due to Gaunt's rather unusual rank as a Colonel Commissar, which is why he later has dedicated commissars assigned to his unit. Hark is a particularly interesting example. On one occasion he sees some soldiers running from combat. When he attempts to rally them, they ignore him. He lets him go, and is promptly asked why he didn't shoot them, to which he basically replies that it would be a waste of time, since a soldier scared enough to ignore him, his rank, and his weapon is past the point of being useful. Instead, he shoots their commanding officer, for abject failure to train and motivate his men. Even this was an evolution for him where he had previously threatened to shoot troopers for their entirely reasonable retreat from a traitor Baneblade.

Many of them die before they even see the enemy, and with the horrors of Chaos that Dalin witnesses, they might consider themselves lucky.

Gaunt's Ghosts / int_f722f635	comment	Great Offscreen War: There are two fronts to the Sabbat Worlds Crusade. The fact that all the action that the Ghosts see is considered to be in the secondary, less important theater should tell you that the primary front must be orders of magnitude more hellish.

Gaunt's Ghosts / int_f96f188c	comment	Drives Like Crazy: In Ghostmaker, Ortiz has a tank driven into headquarters, scattering drilling soldiers and knocking all sorts of things astray. Then, he was inspired: a superior officer had ordered him to fire where Gaunt's Ghosts were, killing hundreds of them; Gaunt had attacked him; and the superior officer was looking to courtmartial and shoot Gaunt. Having gotten there quickly, Ortiz filed a report claiming that his injuries sprang from his own guns' recoil.

In First and Only, Colonel Flense, who is actually Dercius' son and lost his family name and honour after Dercius' death, goes after Gaunt in an attempt to pay Gaunt back. He fails.

The demon-possessed tank, which stalks the Gaunt's party during the liberation of Gereon, behaves like a predator and probably can catch their scent, although this remains ambiguous.
