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.

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.

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. His mighty guns will bring the very sky crashing down upon you. He has given us his mightiest weapon to wield. You cannot win.

Governer General Lucas Alexander

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.

Farseer Taldeer

Yes! YES! The titan is mine! I alone will be Khorne’s chosen, His favored acolyte, and prime among his champions. From this world, I will conquer the next, and the one after that! I will crush entire suns in the palm of my hands! I will stride down the halls of the heathen Emperor, and I will grind him and the Golden Throne of Terra between my iron fingers! 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.

"'players must agree how they are going to select their armies, and if any restrictions apply to the number and type of models they can use."

This is an actual rule in the actual rulebook. Quit whining about how you can imagine someone's army touching you in a bad place and play by the actual rules.
