"Compassion is reserved for servants of the Emperor. Aliens deserve only our scorn." - Inquisitor Czevak

I should have left him there. He had served his purpose. He owed me nothing - yet he gave himself to me willingly. Why? I know not. He is nothing more than a pathetic human. An inferior race. A mon-keigh. But still I broke off my wings so that I might carry him easier. I took him from that place, into the snowstorm where our tracks will not be found. He is heavy. And he is dying. And he is slowing me down. But I will save him. Why? I know not. He is still warm. I can feel his blood ebbing across me. For every beat of his heart, another, slight spill of heat. The heat blows away on the winter wind. His blood is still warm. But fading. And I have spilled scarlet myself. The snow laps greedily at our footsteps and our lifeblood, covering them without a trace as we fade away.

The hive world of Derondii witholds its annual tithes and Krieg Death Korps are deployed to act as the honour guard of a Departmento Munitorum investigation team.
After the Imperium officials are hanged, the Krieg deploy in the towering mountains that overlook the primary hive. Several artillery and siege companies begin to bombard the city spires and the inhabitants are
mercilessly gunned down as they try to break out from the besieged city. After ten years of relentless shelling, the hive is reduced to naught but rubble and dust, two years after all signs of life from the hive ceased and five years after the hive issued its unconditional surrender.

Isn't there something about a Regiment being declared traitors for not following orders that turns out to be dead or something? I seem to recall something like that.

Right, and those same Tau get their asses kicked in CC. Because when it comes down to it, they CAN'T fight CC. Only the separatists under Farsight do. Would be nice if he came back and killed all the Ethereals. Finally the Tau would fit 40k's grimdark theme.

Being serious now it's pretty much anything said by a member of the Inquisition.
Indeed. My preferred two :
There is no such thing as innocence ; only degrees of guilt.
The plea of innocence is guilty of wasting my time.
Grimdark = Inquisition.
Really, want to set the tone for someone who doesn't know the 40k verse ? Here, have some delicious inquisitorial bits.
Works well with other Imperial entities. Here's one from the sistas :
I have yet to find a cinder that was not faithful in its praise of the Emperor.
Canoness Selena Agna (Dawn of War II)
And the Grey Knights :
Today's ally is merely tomorrow's traitor.
Why orks never ever lose :
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!

Enemies of the Imperium, hear me! You have come here to die. The Emperor is with us and we are invincible. Hs soldiers will strike you down. His tanks will crush you under their treads.

We have won the day but the day is not won on battles alone. The Necrons will continue their march and at every turn of every crooked corner of this universe. They will find us lying in wait and they will find us unafraid!
I hear the music from the celestial heavens and the music is cacophonous. It is strange but I find comfort in it's dissonance. Writing the discord of the universe opus is what's given my people purpose by all rights we as a race should have collapsed in upon ourselves. Win or lose this battle is already my victory - my triumph. It is not fate that decides whether I am there to celebrate that fact or not.

The universe will know the will of Khorne! Tremble! QUAKE! These are your final hours, Lorn V! My Reign will turn the heavens themselves Crimson! Blood for the Blood God! Let the universe drown in it.

When people ask, "What's the point in understanding everything?" they've just disqualified themselves from using questions and should disappear in a puff of paradox. But they don't understand and just continue existing, which are also their only two strategies for life.
