Maybe not 40K, but definitely from the source material:

"Muad'Dib."

His name is a killing word, if you believe David Lynch.

"Aaaarrgghhh!!!" 'Cause that's what everyone says before they die.

"I have made my choice"

- Warmaster Horus

That's Horus line is awesome, and is probably responsible for the most human deaths, but I found an Eldar scientist note in my Ork Codex that says the Orks were created by "something older than us to fight the great shadow of the galaxy".

Since the Tyranid are a recent threat, I think they were talking about the Necrons.

So, I think this means the lie from the Deciever's lie (shrouded in mystery though it may be) is the most destructive sentence in the galaxy.

I also submit a theory for what that lie was: "I offer you freedom from death and desire. You will be content and immortal." And he did that. He made them immortal by killing them, and changed their desires to suit his needs.

Special Note: I didn't even consider the C'Tan as candidates, so thank you for bringing them up.

"In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth."

The start of a book so open to interpritation it has caused countless deaths, wars and pogroms throught out history and is pivotal in the whole 40k Mythos.

The Old Ones created races like the Eldar, Jokaero (monkeys!) and Krork to fight the Necrons.

how about "hey guys im Slaanesh and your souls taste nice"

Are we talkgin just 40k or any kind of Sci-Fi or reality?




"I've got a bad feelgin about this" always leads to fun and frollics.

Or sentence that includes the words "Dark Side" being spoken through gritted teeth.




or for you Star Trek fans out there:


"Welcome to Starfleet. Here's your red shirt"

SPACE MARINES!!!!

'KI-YAI!' ~heart explodes~

rofl.
"Whats your name?"
"Ensign #2"
"Oh... Well, good luck on the away team, buddy"

"Umm, sir, my shirt has a target on it"

"Yes yes, everyone's does, trust me. off you go!"

Maybe the words "Death" and "Star" next to each other in a sentence will result in..death..

Shotgun also certainly spells death for anything.

"Daemons!"

"Incoming!"

"Press dat red wun dere!"

"KAMIKAZE!"

"they will be my spacemarines, and they shall know no fear"; I'd guess the creation of the Space MArines led to a ton of deaths (countless more provided the Emperor said this in reference to creating the primarchs as well), though i suppose since he said this POST marine-making, it might not really count...

If we expand it to include other sci-fi realities, then we'll be here for a very long time.

This is bad? I think not.

I didn't say "no".

And my bid for the most lethal sentence in any science fiction: "This system is foolproof."

or...

"Join me..."

"Get the Phasers!"

Meatshield parade was never going to win any wars..

"Hmm.. blue ones.." *bang* "Hmm.. yellow ones.." *bang*

"Hey a red one with a target on his shirt!" *Bang* *Bang*

Seriously they need a dedicated military.. multicoloured shirts in combat environments? Really? Other than that Star Trek is great../mini rant

After much consideration:

"Hello, I'm The Doctor."

Doctor Who has been destroyed.. I miss David Tennant, they never should've killed him off. But, career advancement called. The current Doctor Who series appeals greatly to a much younger audience than even myself.. but in doing so they've removed the feel of it.

Continue on.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned the word 'Muad'Dib'

"My name is a killing word"

Bum! Really should take more notice. My bad

It was said in passing earlier, but never put forth as the word that is probably responsible for the most deaths in real life as well as any fantasy or sci fi you can find:


Ooops


Usually preceded by:

Hmm, I wonder what this button does
That's interesting, poke it and see what happens

"That is no longer canon"

or

"There is a new codex coming out"

These two phrases have, by turns, caused the eradication of entire civilizations, thought processes and the needless 'filling up' of thousands of pairs of underware across the universe.

How about these:
"Hey Mat, interested in writing the Necron Codex and extend the C'tan background?"
"Shouldn't we at GW do some advertising?"
Local GW Manager:"Sure you can quote me!"
Local GW Manager: "Sure you can include non-GW models when playing here, we are all hobbyists, right?"

What about

"Nobody expects the Imperial Inquisition."

"-not even the Imperial Inquisition suspects the Imperial Inquisition!"
