"Let no good deed go unpunished. Let no evil deed go unrewarded." -Chaos Space Marine

Says it all really...

Only in death does duty end

I'm getting a tattoo that says that. If you disagree, become a parent lol

"There are those amongst our Ordo who who say that I seek advancement for my own purposes, and they are correct. My purpose is to destroy the daemonic and if I must rise to command an entire sector to do so, than so be it. I am a servant of the Emperor and only those who consot with Warp-spawn need fear my ambition."

-Inquisitor Lord Torquemada Coteaz

"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 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 Ghazhkull Mag Uruk Thraka an' I speak wiv da word of da ods. We iz gonna stomp da 'ooniverse flat an' kill anyfind that fights back. We iz gonna do this coz' we're Orks an' we was made ta fight an' win!"

I think that image calls for both an "Oh Snap" and a facepalm.

"if i am dead then let me be"-horus lupercal

short and sharp but still my favourite

"Note a warboss cannot have both mega armor and a bike as they may fall off alot"

Everytime I read that, I cant help but laugh. Wow really? You meana bike cant hold up a 10 ton Ork incased in steel a foot thick? No way!!!

Yeah, that one cheers me up everytime as well The bit about Meganobz falling on their backs after taking a direct ordnance hit is also pretty funny

But the one I love most in the Ork codex is the Bad Moons one:

Just ask Rotskrag. Hur hur."

Hur hur

This one has been said by the USMC long before Warhammer was around.

But some I like are:

"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 there's 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 find 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 arguin' wiv each other over who's da boss, da Orks can clobber da lot!"

"Get 'em boyz! Dakka dakka dakka! WAAAGH! THE ORKS! WAAAGH!"

Ok I have a few. First of all

"I have at my command and entrie battle group of the imperial guard. Fifty regiments, including specialised drop troops, stealthers, mechanised formations, armoured companies and mobile artillery. Over half a million fighting men and thirty thousand tanks and artillery pieces are mind to command. Emperor show mercy to the fool who stands against me, for I shall not.

And last of all because it sums them up so well

"Fear ensures loyalty! Where do you need me?
- commisar, Dawn of War

theocd wrote:"If all else fails: duck. As a defensive stratagem it's unreliable, but incredibly reassuring for a moment or two." - Lord Corvis of Petrax.

This has to be my favorite fluff quote, by far. Although I, like KingCracker, also chuckle when I read the explanations for restrictions in the Ork codex. Such simple, subtle little additions really give it character.
