1212th 'Cold Bloods' The Valhallan 1212th Cold Bloods were raised for service in the Eastlight Nebula Wars, but their first battle was among their last. With their supply and logistics lines overstreched, only one in every three Guardsmen in the 1212th were issued a Lasgun. Their first mission saw a forced-march across the frozen and toxic wastelands of Triox against a traitor force. Despite their survival skills, only half the Ice Warriors made it across the plains to assault the traitors' flank. Many of the Guardsmen recovered weapons on the fallen and in the end decisively defeated the enemy forces.[6b]
