¨OY YEH PANNZIE GET 'OVA 'ERE SO I CAN SQUISHH YEH PROPPA!¨ My kaptin goldteef dun like eldars

I typically tailor them to the army.

Space wolves- typically something with cute and fuzzy furball in it.
Blood angels-vampirism was so 1990's. or i tend to do something prissy.
Other space marines are typically a "your momma was a heretic!"
Eldar are typically something like I got you now, you slippery git
Orks - you punch like a grot

My termi Chaplin normaly will let out a loud "Repent or perish" then smash some heretic face

MMMMmmm no...

*scuttles away* Whoop Whoop Whoop Whoop Whoop!

Guard: "Plikten framför allt!" Or in english: "Duty above all"

Orks: "Oi! Come get sum!"

CSM: "Its nothing personal, I *must* do this"

As a guard player; "Oh Emperor! Not the face!"

As an Ork player; "Come an' get sum you bleedin' zoggers! Ill krump erry last wunna yahs!"

Hmm, never really had to do something like that before, so I'm just blurting out what I think they would say

DA: *Activates power weapon* Come, it is judgement day, mongrel, and you shall be found wanting.

Eldar: I have seen the skeins of fate, Mon-keigh, it is time for us to dance the dance of death.

Chaos: The changer of Ways sees all, and he foresees your demise at my hand. Now, approach, It is time to hear the Call of Fate!

When Gabriel Angelos (Lysander) leads my force

"Face me creature! God's have fallen to this Hammer, and you shall likewise be split in half"

When First Leonidas Hedromus (Tyberos of the Carcharadons) leads it's "Come"

2nd Captain Raphael Xiortan (Calgar) "You're blood will stain my hands."
3rd Captain Julios Matheus (Pedro Kantor) "For the Great Father and the unknown Primarch!"
4th Captain Perseus Helstrom (Vulkan He'stan) "You shall be purged in the fire of redemption"
5th Captain Aramus, 7th Captain Mekellos Fernandes, 9th Captain Antaeus Atlum, Epistolary Corvus and Reclusiarch Palmarius (all generic HQs) simply "For the Emperor!"
6th Captain Kervaras Firoth (Khan on Bike) "Your skull on my trophy shelf!"
8th Captain Vlad Umbros "What is unseen and unknown commands fear and rightly so. Right now you are blind and ignorant"
10th Captain Hyperio Sterrus (Sicarius) "If you consider youself superior, prove it."

Draigo
"I have walked through Hell alone and unaided. I have slain denizens of the Dark Gods innumerable and carved my predessor's name on the heart of Mortarion himself. You will never stand in my way."

Khorne Lord- Your skull will make a fine addition to the Skull Throne

Khorne Lord with Axe of Blind Fury- RRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!!!"

Suffer not the Witch to live! Vs Psykers/Eldar.

Foul Xenos. Your kind has no place here! Vs Xenos.

Righteous judgment awaits you, heretic! Vs Heretics.

for me it would simply be NO PITY! NO REMORSE! NO FEAR!

I usually yell "come on maggots! Do I have to do it all myself? !?!" Colonel Stracken ftw

Either 'See you, you are getting burst.' or the always delightful. 'Square Go.'

Guard- “If I’m going to die I’m taking you with me.”

I require my guard Sergeants to accept all challenges.

Eldrad raises his staff then smacks it on the ground gandalf-style and everyone form the opposing unit and his unit freeze except for the guy he's challenging. He walks up to the guy (who is now probably trembling in his might and glory) smiles and then swings his staff and the battle is on.

Playing as Tallarn is usually some racially insensitive fake arabic, with lots of phlegm. (no hard feelings) Or maybe a "Die infidel!"

My guard commander:

"C'mere, cupcake!"

My Orkz:

"Oi, you hummies (Metal boyz/Pointy ears/Bloo boyz/Kaos/etc) afraid for a scrap? Get ova here and fight me!"

My Space Marines:

"You dare tread on the Emperor's holy ground and yet you will not face his defenders on combat? You coward!"

for my special character

"I accept!... that the knightmaster will handle this."

My warlord would never accept or issue a challenge because my goal is always to lose combat by the largest margin possible and avoid having the enemy unit locked in combat and immune to my next shooting phase. So in that sense my warlord's "cry" would be dropping his weapons and standing patiently waiting for the fatal blow to arrive.

Marbo is the only unit in my army that cares about challenges, but Marbo does not waste time yelling about how awesome he is. Marbo just demo charges your unit, stabs you in the face, and leaves your corpse as a silent warning to all who might dare oppose him.

As I've been playing mostly Imperial Guard this edition, I imagine it's not so much a battle cry so much as it is a war whimper.

My guard Commander would yell something like "You wantthe kill me with a sword?!?!? Where is my Banebade, I show you how big my sword is!"

As for my Tyrant is something like "Grrrrrr"

I always imagined Castellan Crowe quietly saying "And now you die" very peacefully

My company commander has a history of killing marines in challenges, up to and including Sanguinary Priests in one memorable account.

Therefore, he doesn't have a battlecry, but rather shanks the enemy as they're issuing their battlecry.

As for my Chapter Master, well he happens to have a thunder hammer, therefore: Halt! Hammertime!

And then he smashed a Trygon into the ground, and there was much rejoicing.

this is my reaction to challenge cries!

"Man in suit! I challenge you to a duel!!!"

Or

"Hey, you! I came here to kick A** and chew bubble gum....and I am fresh out of bubble gum."

Tbf my War Cry also depends on the army im using if its my space marines then it depends on my warlord. If its my Captain then his cry is " come take on my hammertime scum" but if my libby isleading the army then he just starts doing the gangham style. Where as with my word beare they scream convert or die and when actually in the challenge they say FOR THE DARK GODS

I tell my opponent that I'm issuing a challenge. Or that I accept/decline one. There's not much excitement when anything duels an IG sergeant

Sammael
"....bring me that ***"

Warboss Skulrippa - 'Fresh meat..... Squeal oomie, squeal..!'

Big Mek Grabwotz - 'erm, wot just appened? I woz aimin' me Shokk Attak Gun, and now i iz 'ere... Oh zog...'

The Pustulent Prince (Nurgle herald) - 'Pull my finger...'

Archon Wayreth of the Wakers of Dagon - '*yawn* They never learn...'

my guard commander : LEEEEEEROOOOYYYY JEEE *meaty squish*

Jorg Svensson (Bjorn the Fellhanded)
"Dang kids, GET. OFF. MY. LAWN!"

Khargaroth the Slaughterman (Daemon Prince)
"Shoot me again. I ain't dead yet."

Warboss Gobkrakka (Warboss on bike w/klaw)
"You avva go, then I'll smash ya."
