There's a bit of a story behind this one. See, this is based on actual events, wherein myself, Randy, and Parco, all together at Parco's house, joined together for a game of Dark Crusade. Since Randy and Parco can't get on the internet on that game (they're using my CD key, long story) we all play over the LAN. And so, we played a game with me playing space marines, Parco as Eldar, and Randy as Tau (he really likes the shooty faction) up against two computers playing Orks on the insane difficulty. We did ok, for a while... and then the Orks came. And they wouldn't stop. Since it was the first one of many games like that, we all decided that it should become a comic. And it took so long because everything you see was done on a computer - there were no sketches on paper for the top and bottom panel - and since I'm used to inking, not sketching, on the tablet, it took a while to figure out. Plus, I was trying to draw it while strung out on caffeine without much of any sleep. Good for twitch gaming, bad for artwork.
Also: Parco looks the tiniest in the first panel because, being an eldar, he's not wearing 3 foot thick ceramite armor like the other two.
Also, again: Technically, Parco is better with the Necron, but since I couldn't figure out how to draw a necron-parco, and because that first game (which we had a lot of screenshots from) had him playing Eldar, I made him an eldar. But if you look closely, he's wearing a Necron shirt in the last panel.
