Writing: The Charge of the Danoans, Chapter One, Part 1

What follows is the first three chapters of The Charge of the Danoans, the second of my novel submissions to Black Library back in 2010.  I will be serializing the first three chapters in roughly 2,000-3,000 word blocks, posted every couple of days (typically Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.  The total length of the three chapters of The Charge of the Danoans is approximately 17,000 words.  

Here is the setting:  In the Arcadia Sector, the Tau Empire begins their attack on Imperial space with an invasion of the Imperial planet of Danoan.  Aware that Danoan's strategic position makes an attack on it likely, the Imperium has given it a small garrison of Imperial Guard in addition to the Planetary Defense Forces, but nowhere near enough.  The situation looks grim for the Imperial defenders as the Tau put their plan into motion...

Writing: Only War, Chapter One, Part 2

The following is Part 2 of Chapter One of my novel submission to Black Library, entitled Only War.  

Chapter One, Part 1 is located here.

A flicker out of the corner of Nomu’a’s eye snatched his attention, but before he could turn his head the car was violently rocked to one side.  A flash of white light and a deafening explosion assaulted his senses, and Asal grunted when his head was slammed into the window.  The car crashed back to the ground, and the driver cursed.  He threw the shift into reverse, jerked the wheel over, and jammed his foot on the accelerator.  Nomu’a was thrown forward onto the floor of the vehicle.  Another explosion went off, and shrapnel thunked into the car’s armor, one fragment hitting the rear windshield and starring the glass.

Cadian Decals in Black?

This post isn't so much a post as it is a question...   I have more Cadian Decals than I know what to do with, but I'm curious if any black Cadian decals exist.  I'm considering a new light-colored vehicle camouflage, and white decals wouldn't work.  I also have plenty of the Imperial Vechicle decal sheets, but I don't like the style of the markings.  I wanted to use the Cadian font instead.
