IG "maybe this isn't such a hot idea..."
BT "RARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRG"

When I beat the Necrons as the Imperial Guard in DoW: Dark Crusade on hard.

When Ursarkar E. Creed rallied the IG regiments at the Tyrok Fields after the Volscani Cataphracts revealed their allegiance to chaos and killed hundreds of troops and the Cadian High Command. Not only did he reorganized the IG amid all that chaos in record time, but launched a counter attack that struck deep into the traitors lines and killed their own high command aboard the Leviathan they had just captured. The tactical genius of Creed (hurr) and the stubborn defiance of the IG snatched victory from the jaws of defeat that day, a crowning moment of glory for the Imperial Guard!

The Emperor sitting on his throne with his loyal primarchs at his side, contemplating what to do and how things could have gone so wrong. Then the subsequent events of him taking the fight to Horus onboard his flagship. And of course we know the rest. Leading up to this climatic and epic depiction:



No other series of events or images ever produced before conjure up the emotion that these events and images do. I hope a studio is given the green light to build this series of events in a CG intro to a game perhaps someday. I would like to see it fully fleshed out by blur studios or some other company.

My favorite, was Imotekh Taking off Helbrecht's hand, lecturing him about how his race sucks, then kicking him of the cliff they were fighting on.

You mean before he run like a coward when Helbrecht returned to kick his a**? At least he destroyed his fleet .

Oh yeah, best moment...
Must be when Calgar punched Eldar Avatar and he was broken to pieces. Ah, the good old Human domination

For me It's gotta be the death of Solomon lok as it really captures the grimdark of the whole universe, betrayed by your allies and superiors and killing a bio Titan only for two more to emerge from the mists (only cos it can't be horus vs the emperor

Oh yeah, and recent best moment I saw in Retribution.
Lord Commissar to his troop at the front, Space Marines assaulting:
"Glory to the first men that dies."
And then executes an enemy Marine and inspire his own troops

I forget where I read this, but I am almost certain I once read Yarrick was laying broken and bloodied at the feat of Ghazghkull on Armageddon, and his last act before passing out was as the warboss roared in a gesture of triumph, Yarrick made a gesture of his own between the boss's legs with his power klaw. I might be wrong but I am close to certain I am not.

When Magnus is in the court and most of the other primarchs call him a -Purged- for using magic. I thought that was one of the best moments durring the HH.

i do have to say that it definitely has to be the Horus heresy. It's really great how the Primarchs are torn to either side of the war and the whole darkness of the uprising. I personally like the more background and subtle stuff like the nemesis book and the psychological destruction of the pre-heresy imperium instead of the actual idea of Horus vs. the emperor.

Er... what?

No, you're thinking of that ork warboss who led a waaagghh into the Eye of Terror. After losing all his boyz he fights some daemon and loses, ending with him "laying broken and bloodied at the feat of ?Ghazghkull? on ?Armageddon?, and his last act before passing out was as the ?warboss? roared in a gesture of triumph, ?Yarrick? made a gesture of his own between the ?boss's? legs with his power klaw."

Basically, you just changed the names up. =|

The story itself can be found in the ork dex.

Wazzdakka wrecking a warlord titan by driving through it and killing the crew while on fire. Pretty boss.

Helbrecht, annoyed at the loss of his hand, crashing Imhotekh's flagship into the nearest sun.

The moment Luther created the Fallen. For they were the right ones and this made the entire chapter how it is today, and creates a cool secret that the DA keep from everybody. (Plus I play pre-heresy Dark Angels )

When Sliscus just takes three flagships and shouts "Screw you guys I'm leavin home" or when Rakarth trolls the Tau
