Hey,
A short but simple question...
Does anyone have an example of what is written on a seal of purity?
It's for my IG regiment's history.
(I don't know where this belongs so it can be in the wrong topic!)

This is in the wrong forum.
However, I'm pretty sure the stuff written on a purity seal is just a list of the Space Marines deeds and acomplishments.

Allright, then I apologise for that.
What is the correct forum for this, General 40k discussion?
However, it's not Space Marine only. It's an Imperial medal awarded to imperial forces.

I think this would actually go in background forum.
On the topic of purity seals according to Codex:Witch Hunters they have prayers and such written on them to protect the bear from horror's they have witnessed, or just general bad guys.

There's examples of the text of purity seals within the Dawn of War 2 game.
Translated from High Gothic to English, of course.
I recall one that went something like this (paraphrasing), I believe the prayer was called "Humble Supplication":
Remember that we Space Marines were all at one point but helpless children
Each day that we fight as Space Marines in the Emperor's service is the greatest gift that can be given

The people in the past who convinced themselves to do unspeakable things were no less human than you or I. They made their decisions; the only thing that prevents history from repeating itself is making different ones.

It's like:
Battle brother carius dorn
The emperor smiles at your deeds
blessed by the holy chaplain of the ultramarine's 8th company
Brother-chaplain Gerfo Gertain
In recognition of your deeds
Has been granted this purity seal
And a couple internets
for killing all those xenos the other day
Remember? That was SWEET. You were like:
"Pachew-pachew" and they were like "AAHHHHH"
And you were like: "GRAAAAAHHH"
And they were DEAD. BAWWWWWWWWWW
That's what I'd assume they'd say

I think each one has a prayer or litany written on it.
Which brings me to the question, has GW written each litany, or it it left to imagination

Again, I'm sorry it's in the wrong forum.
But the question is answered.
Thanks you all!
