Eagle Ordinary
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 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. As of this writing, the latest page was posted half a year ago, and with the artist now working on a completely different 40k comic for Warhammer Community, it's starting to look increasingly bleak for the continuing story of junior commissar Talon and his misfit band of guardsmen.
