The problem with the 'vote with your dollar' response is that it doesn't take into account why we're not buying the product. I want to enjoy 40k enough to buy back in. It was my introduction to traditional games, and there was a time when I enjoyed it very much. I want to buy 40k, but Gamesworkshop is doing their very best to push me away, and simply not buying their product won't tell them that.
"A man may die yet still endure if his work enters the greater work; Time is carried upon a current incepted by forgotten deeds. Events of great moment are but the culmination of a single well-placed thought. All men must thank progenitors obscured by the past, so we must endure the present that those who come after may continue the greater work." ~The Chime of Eons, Garba Mojaro Prefectus of the Adeptus Mechanicus

The Immortal God Emperor (peace be upon him) wrote: Evidently we must strive to be the fierce redeemer of man, yet what shall redeem us?
In the Ultramarines movie, a squad of Ultramarines has just landed and deployed from their thunderhawk when the captain says: "Spread out, scan the area. The Emperor protects, but it never hurts to double check."
"Burn them all, the God-Emperor will know his own."
Got to love those pyromaniacal Fire Hawks.
"Fetch me another plaything, this one seems to have broken."
Dark Eldar being Dark Eldar.
Pretty much the entire Cain series qualifies, but I think my favourite has to be "Someone get me a mop!" (anyone who's read the books will know what I'm on about)

It's not really a quote from a character but a quote of this universe. And god i love it!
''For more than a hundred centuries the Emperor has sat immobile on the Golden Throne of Earth. He is the master of makind by the will of the gods and master of a million worlds by the might of his inexhaustible armies. He is a rotting carcass writhing invisibly with power from the Dark Age of Technology. He is the Carrion Lord of the Emperium for whom a thousand souls die every day, for whom blood is drunk and flesh eaten. Human blood and human flesh - the stuff of which the Emperium is made.''
''To be a man in such times is to be one amongst untold billions. It is to live in the cruellest and most bloody regime imaginable. This is the tale of those times. It is a universe you can live in today - if you dare - for this is a dark and terrible era where you will find little comfort or hope. If you want to take part in the adventure then prepare yourself now. Forget the power of technology, science and commmon humanity. Forget the promise of progress and understanding, for there is no peace amongst the stars, only an eternity of carnage and slaugter and the laughter of thirsting gods''
''But the universe is a big place and, whatever happens, you will not be missed...''
When i read this the very first time when a friend of mine showed me Warhammer 40k. It diden't take me that long untill i went out and got my very first box of minis
So by quotes this is my favorite. But if it had to be a character quote it will be: "An open mind is like a fortress with its doors open and gates unbarred."
Love you Gabriel Angelos! <3 god i played alot of DoW
But man is not made for defeat. A man can be destroyed but not defeated.
