Why fight for the emperor?
heck, i wouldn't fight FOR him. i don't do charity
I'd fight against the enemies of the human race in general. That would be the sensible thing to do, for me at least, not defending a half-dead guy who eats 1000 souls per day.

Now you can execute me as a heretic

Good. Now you've killed a stalwart defender of humanity. Every time you have a nightmare you should know i sent it to ya

And if your burger and chips taste bad...i had nothing to do with it

**Cambak**

You realize that the flash lighters do almost NOTHING!!!!! *drool*

**SideEffect46**

Cambak come back to the path of darkness! The Emperor knows not that you exist, so why fight for him?

**aka_tizz**

@ Cambak:
Doesn't matter. My eyes exploded because i've never seen any light so now i can't hear you *fingers in ears LAaaaaaLALALAaaaaaLA*

And stop drooling on me!!!!

And PS: i can't hear because you i'm dead and not because my eyes exploded

The Imperium can certainly be a hell hole but would I forfeit my soul to be one of the massed heretical freaks charging the front lines with a rusted rite knife?

No.

The Imperium has many worlds that have never been touched by the ravages of war, only at the fringe of the Imperium's territories do people live in fear of ever being dominated by xenos or chaotic filth, for they are inferior in ever way to the glorious race of mankind.

FOR THE EMPEROR!

**Emperors Faithful**

What other race has taken on deamons and inhuman monsters with the projectile equivalent of a rusty spoon? The Imperium that's who.

Emperor Bless the Guard.

**the_ferrett**

Um..... Orks? One warboss took on a chaos PLANET with sluggas and choppas.

**Morgrim**

He's got a very distinct point, while it goes in interesting directions that human technology doesn't in places (variants in teleportation via the warp), or technology is inferior to human. They just make up for it was biological skill.

**the_ferrett**

And zeal. Only orks would see the planet open an eye and start hacking away.... at a planet.

**Cambak**

O.o GOD BLESS THE EMPEROR! I found a Hellbore!!!! Oh goodie it has void shields and 5 structure points!!!

**Solly**

The Emperor gives you what you need to serve the Imperium.
All other reasons for living are beside the internal matter of this issue.

You are here-by summoned to Detention Centre AlphaTheta under the following charges:
Heresy, Incitement to Rebellion, Incitement to Free Speech and expressing your own thoughts.
Upon entering the building, present all the belongings on your person to the Arbite behind the counter
and submit yourself for Session #47Av.
Upon entering the correct room you will sit in the RED chair and await the Adept for mind scrubbing.
We expect you to arrive at 18:00terran
By order of the Inquisition.

We see everything heretic..

**the_ferrett**

Awwww. I was having icecream at that time. I wasn't in yor detention centre.... sorry. Want some of what I'm having?

**aka_tizz**

Damn, are they gonna make you wear a cone on your head with "dunce" written on it?

**Morgrim**

If the

caught me I'd be worried about a bit more than mindscrubbing...

**aka_tizz**

Extra reason to not fight for the emperor. And keep your mouth tightly shut

I know, I know... but I just take far to much enjoyment taunting Inquisitors and dancing just out of reach...

A dangerous hobby. I should probably investigate keeping a suicide pill handy.

**aka_tizz**

Good point. Or a grenade. I'd love to take with me one of those i'm-always-right-you're-always-wrong-you-fething-heretic guys. Nothing quite as priceless as their expression when they hear the pin going off >

**Morgrim**

My major issue is that... well, death is likely a worse fate than life. Torture by the Inquisition is unpleasant, by no worse than a haemonculi can do. Not having your soul consumed by a fellow eldar and merging with theirs in peaceful oblivion, but instead having it flung to the warp and the maw of She Who Thirsts? Probably one of the only situations I would consider using the crippling tools of the misguided craftworlders and implanting a soulstone. Even burnt into nothingness to fuel the Emperor is better than eternal torture at the hands of the most sadistic of the gods.

No heretic, the Emperor supplies me with the nourishment I need for my mind, though I'm getting a bit hungry now I think of it..

The only reason I can fathom fighting for the Emperor in the 40K universe, if I were a human, would be eternal rest and a chance to fight in the last battle.

As I mostly play Orkz I find myself on the "bash da ummez train"

**Cambak**

*arrives IN the Hellbore, and charges the multi-meltas* I'm here for YOUR mind scrubbing!!!!

**Lemming eater**

The way i see it you dont have a choice. You either die protecting the emporer, betray humanity(not something im to fond of) and join chaos or leave the imperium and get eaten by alien freaks.

**the_ferrett**

Or be the alien freaks doing the eating.

**Napalm**

And here I was ready to fight solely because of the dental plan. It's modeled on the old British one, so you know it's good!

**Asherian Command**

FOR THE EMPEROR AND HUMANITY!

Fight for the emperor or else Humanity is F___ED!

**DerangdFlamingo**

who's this emperor guy everyonbe keeps talking about?

*hides under his cameleoline blanket*

**crazykiwi**

one way of putting it is would you fight for your country? your ideals? your religion ? for your species?

would you turn on the very things which to you have seem to have been the right thing to do

or would you turn to something else to save your skin for the time being but as the Tau codex says that the imperials who surrended and joined the tau dread the day that the imperials return for they know that they will be given no mercy and no quarter

Death to all traitors !!!! I believe gets thrown alot in imperial battle cries does it not????
