im trying to collect good imperial scripture or motivational imperial quotes. not "for the Emperor" or any of its variants, including primarchs. the kinds of things commissars and chaplains scream at their men. you can even make them up as long as they are good. serious responses only please.

1. Even in death i still serve

2. It is better to die for the Emperor than live for yourself

3. For what are our lives unless they are in His service ?

4. Fear not men! We go to the Emperor's side to fight at His side at the end of time!

Wasted are countless stern words that may inspire a single soldier when a single summary execution serves to straighten out an entire platoon.

5. If you will not serve on the battlefield, then you shall serve on the firing line!

6. Faith and actions are eternal!

7. Forward you dogs, to victory!

8. No death of a man is ever to minor in the emperor's name!

9. From the ground, we march! From the sky our ships fly and our atilery shells crash apon the enemy! CHARGE!

Go forth.
Be conquered.
Go forth and die!

If you can identify that then you get a prize.

Dethklok "Go forth and die" Performed when Nathan Explosion decided not to follow the script at some address to a bunch of college grads after wiffing his GED exam. (Dimmu Burger! Ha!)

Avatar upgrade successful. Thanks to Dakka, Forgeworld and Grandfather Nurgle.

As promised you win a prize...as soon as I can think of one.

Yeah I think it works for the Guard.

Heres a few that i think are cool,

"Life is a journey... Shame about the destination."

"Success is measured in blood; yours or your enemy's"

Some may question your right to destroy ten billion people. Those who understand realise that you have no right to let them live. -In Exterminatus Extremis-

"For each alien destroyed is a soul saved from eternal bondage. Each mortal alien life extinguised is a human soul raised to glory. Thus, our eternal destiny is writ in the blood of the alien."

'Repent! For tomorrow you die!'

"You primitives think you own the stars but you have no conception of what you are saying. You can barely command your own lumpen bodies, so how do you believe that you can subjugate entire worlds? "

And here are a few cool picts... hope you like them!

excitus acta probat.

"Only in death does duty end!"

Since they claim the Emporer is naught but a corpse, allow them to join him.

Only the insane have strength enough to prosper, only those who prosper may truly judge what is sane.

My favorite quote:

3rd edition rulebook there was a Blanche picture of a Valhallan holding a mortar shell that read: "Be saved, filthy as thou art." +++

Live by the Emperor's mercy, or die by his fury.

This is one of my favorites. "I hate them not because they hate us, but because they are incapable of good, honest Human hatred." I think it was attributed to some Inquisitor, about the Tyranids.

this is more of a commander one but heres gose:
"Don't tell me how many billions we've lost, tell me how much we've gained that is the ture meaning of war"

Even the gods know my name!

All power demands sacifice....thank you for yours.

Had you a century to prepare, you would still be to late to stop me from reaching my glory.

The emperor protects hmm....we'll soon se how well he protects you.

Such Inspiring courage! Prehaps we'll mount your corpse on a golden chair and make an idol out of you as well!

no one has posted the classic dawn of war line

"Glory to the first man to die!"
"In the name of the Emperor, Charge!"

Fear ensures loyalty. Where do you need me?

Ok this is from the Daemonhunters codex but it is cool,(to me at least)"With undaunted courage we shall prevail no arcane magicks shall overcome us.We are the Bearers of Victory!"

Cast down the idols.
Burn the temples.
Slay the priests.
Show these fools they worship nothing more than a rotting corpse.

Impurity shall be our armor.
Hate shall be our weapon.
Immortality shall be our reward.

That second one is my favorite quote of all time, cause it sounds like it could be a metal song.

"Victory is assured" a commissar says that on arrival...

WEEZ DA ORKZ AN YOO IZ NOT!

Am I doing it right?

Was it Leman Russ that said, "give me 100 Space Marines, or else give me 1000 of any other troop". I've always felt motivated by that.

Then there is the various Battle Cries for the different SM Chapters like;
Dark Angels: Repent! For tomorrow you die!
Emperor's Children: Children of the Emperor! Death to his foes!
Iron warriors: Iron Within, Iron Without!
Chrimson Fists: Chaplain-"There is only the Emperor",
brethren (respond)-"He is our shield and our protector!"

It was Rogal Dorn.

One of my favourite DOW commissar ones:
In the name of the Emperor, Finish this!

When cities burn and armies turn
And flee in disarray
Cowards cry "'Tis best to fly
and fight another day!"
But a warrior knows it in his marrow
When he dies and falls
'Tis better to have fought and lost
Than not have fought at all.

Your armour is your soul and your soul's dedication your armour.
