Hey guys. I haven't posted a thread on here for a week or so. In an attempt to get back into it & step away from the 'Nid's in February' thread that has dominated my e-mails for the last so many days I thought I'd throw this into the mix.
I love the little sayings & phrases in the books & codex's & was just wondering if anyone had any particular favorites.
One of mine has to be 'Let The Galaxy Burn'. Another would be 'And they shall know no fear'.
Kinda of a pointless Sunday evening thread. If your sitting about doing not much feel free to bounce some items my way.
Take care now Dakka.

One of my favs is: "If all else fails: duck. As a defensive strategem it's unreliable, but incredibly reassuring for a moment or two."

Infantry win firefights,
Tanks win battles,
Artillery win wars.

"Cast down the idols! Destroy the temples! Slay the priests! Show these fools that they worship nothing more than a rotting corpse!"

That's a good one. Very anti cloth!
I like it.

Yeah, that's a good Guard one.

Through the destruction of our enemies we earn our salvation (IIRC)

Offical! The graves of warriors who have given their lives for the Emperor now outnumber the stars themselves.

Nice..... Is that the cover for the new Space Hulk as your Thumbnail?
If you've played it, what's it like?

I like that one dude....

KILL MAIM BURN! KILL MAIM BURN! KILL MAIM BURN!!!

SPREAD THE TAINT! DEFILE THE FOOLS!

I was waiting on that 1 darkhound. Oh how the words of a maniacal psycopath inspire me.

LOL! Now your talking.
In my opinion, so far we have:-
DarkHound in 1st Place.
Dark in 2nd place.
Vindicator #9 in 3rd.
Appreciation to everyone who is commenting though.

Now to solidify my lead with some METAL BAWKSES!

My favorite about us Ork Followers.

"The orks are a pinnacle of creation. For them, the great struggle is won. They have evolved a society that knows no stress or angst. Who are we to judge them? We Eldar who have failed, or the Humans, on the road to ruin in their turn? And why? Because we sought answers to questions that an Ork wouldn't even bother to ask! We see a culture that is strong and despise it as crude." ~ Uthan the perverse, Eldar Philosopher

"Get 'em boyz! Dakka dakka dakka! WAAAGH! THE ORKS! WAAAGH!" - Rotgob, Ork strategist

or just

DAKKA DAKKA DAKKA!

"What I cannot crush with words I shall crush with the tanks of the Imperial Guard" -Lord Solar Mancharius

I base my imperial guard regiment (13th Minvervan Heavy armoured) on this.

idleness breeds heresy

A small mind is easily filled with faith..

I also liked pretty much everything the chaos marines/bezerkers said in DOW

Rejoice in the coming oblivion

Do you hear the voices too?

Study the Alien, the better to kill it.

A good one for those win at all costs players:

Excuses are the refuge of the weak.

I'm quite impressed with the amount of responses here....

"In the embrace of great Nurgle, I am no longer afraid, for with His pestilent favour I have become that which I once feared most: Death."

"The Space Marines fear no evil, for we are fear incarnate" - Konrad Curze, Night Haunter

"The martyr's grave is the foundation of the Imperium" - anon

"Iron within, Iron without!" - Iron Warriors Battlecry

"Walk softly, and carry a big gun" - SM in DoW

and lastly...

"Victory does not always rest with the big guns, but if we rest infront of them we shall be lost." - Commander Argentius

Though my guards may sleep and my ships lie at anchor, my foes know full well that big guns never tire.

Let's add I feel the Warp overtaking me! It is a good pain!!

"Orkses is never defeated in battle. If we win we win, if we die we die fighting so it don't count. If we runs for it we don't die neither, cos we can come back for annuver go, see!"

Commonly held Ork view of warfare

When playing DoW 1 in the skirmish mode as orks, I made first contact with my opponent, and my orks yelled

"Awww, it's Eldar! We can send 'alf the boyz home!"

"They where less than nothing, yet I have rendered them immortal in the true sense of the world. Who here can say they would choose debased and corrupted life over purity in unchanging death? Liars and fools tell us life is always precious, but we who have seen the spirit realm know this to be the most deluded falsehood of all." -Ahriman, Thousand Sons

Oomans are pink and soft, not tough and green like da Boyz. They'z all the same size too, so they'z always arguing about who's in charge, 'cos no way of telling 'cept fer badges an' ooniforms and fings. When one of them wants to lord it over the uvvers, 'e says "I'm very speshul so'z you gotta worship me", or "I know summink wot you lot don't know so yer better lissen good". Da funny fing is, arf of 'em believe it and da over arf don't, so 'e 'as to hit 'em all anyway or run fer it. Wot a lot of mukkin' about if yer asks me. An' while they'z all arguing wiv each other over who's da boss, da Orks can clobber da lot

and also


I'm da hand of Gork and Mork, dey sent me to rouse up da boyz to crush and kill ‘cos da boyz forgot what dere ‘ere for. I woz one of da boyz till da godz smashed me in da ‘ead an’ I ‘membered dat Orks is meant to conquer and make slaves of everyfing they don’t kill.

I’m da profit of da Waaagh an’ whole worlds burn in my boot prints. On Armour-Geddem, I led da boyz through da fire deserts and smashed da humies’ metal cities to scrap. I fought Yarik, old one-eye at Tarturus, an’ he fought good but we smashed iz city too.

I’m death to anyfing dat walks or crawls, where I go nothin’ stands in my way. We crushed da stunties on Golgotha, an’ we caught old one-eye when da speed freeks blew da humies’ big tanks ta bits. I let ‘im go ‘cause good enemies iz ‘ard to find, an Orks need enemies ta fight like they need meat ta eat an’ grog ta drink.

I iz more cunnin’ than a grot an’ more killy than a dread, da boyz dat follow me can’t be beat. On Pissenah we jumped da marine-boyz an’ our bosspoles was covered in da helmets we took from da dead ‘uns. We burned dere port an’ killed dere bosses an’ left nothin’ but ruins behind. I’m Warlord Ghazghkull Mag Uruk Thraka an’ I speak wiv da word of da gods. We iz gonna stomp da ‘ooniverse flat an’ kill anyfing that fights back. We iz gonna do this coz’ we’re Orks an’ we was made ta fight an’ win!

This is one i like "Heresy grows from idleness"

and because I need some cheering up due to a crappy day in the office....

'They shall be my finest warriors, these men who give themselves to me.
Like clay I shall mould them and in the furnace of war I shall forge them.
They will be of iron will and steely muscle.
In great armour shall I clad them and with the mightiest gun shall they be armed.
They will be untouched by plague or disease, no sickness will blight them.
They will have tactics, strategies and machines such that no foe will best them in battle.
They are my bulwark against the terror.
They are the defenders of Humanity.
They are my Space Marines...
...and they shall know no fear.'

-The Emperor of Man

Every time I see


"In the grim darkness of the future, there is only war..."

I get chills. I seriously read that intro in EVERY new book I buy.

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