This is what happens when some Only War players use an armored vehicle to pull a Henderson.

A webcomic set in the Warhammer 40,000 universe, Eagle Ordinary is based on an (apparently madness-filled) Only War campaign the creators once played, and chronicles the misadventures of a ragtag squad of guardsmen and their squeamish (junior) commissar as they battle Tau, heretical tech-priests, and the nefarious plans of a Rogue Trader. It's arguably one of the highest quality 40k webcomics out there, enough to have even caught GW's attention (in a good way, for once), as they hired the comic's artist and main creator do art for their community websites, and recently, to illustrate a brand new webcomic called Vhane Glorious: Heroism Gone Rogue.

Unfortunately, that last bit may end up being a nail in Eagle Ordinary's coffin. With the artist now working on Vhane Glorious for Warhammer Community, Eagle Ordinary has been put on indefinite hiatus, with it unclear whether or not they will ever be able to return to it. It's starting to look increasingly bleak for the continuing story of junior commissar Talon and his misfit band of guardsmen.

At least we can rest easy knowing that, in all likelihood, they were all killed (in true Imperial fashion) in a dramatic last stand against xenos.

As of November 2019, the web-page for this comic is no longer supported, as it must have been over run by those thieving Tau. One can only hope that somewhere a rogue trader has copies of the comic on hand, or that the adepts in charge of its safe keeping release it at a later date

At some point, the Comic appeared again in SmackJeeves and can be viewed again, though there is still no plans to continue it.

Update: Aaand, it's gone again.


The Roleplay Forum[edit]

Around 16 December 2016, the Creators of the Comic and participants of the Original Game which inspired Eagle Ordinary (Comic Creator, 2 More), launched an online Roleplay Forum in the setting of Eagle Ordinary. Players were encouraged to create characters that would fit within the setting, and build areas that the comic did not touch on. Much of it can still be read in an archive form, though in mid 2019, the forum software finally shit the bed, and the moderators moved the RP full time to the accompanying Discord server.
