What are your favorite quotes from Warhammer 40k? For example: "An open mind is like a fortress with its doors open and gates unbarred."

What say you dakka?

"If they are so eager to ignore their elders and jump down the lions throat we can only hope some of them choke it on the way down"-Lord Solar Macharius abut Blood Claws

"Fenris breeds heroes like a bar breeds drunks; loud proud and spoiling for a fight"-Supreme Grand Master Azrael of the Dark Angels

''Even at year 40,000 we are using swords and axes''

"Who ordered you to die? Keep Fighting!!!"

BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD!

They are my space Marines and they shall know no fear

I will remember more later

They're all in my sig, especially the deldar one

Learn what? Chaos does not teach, it misleads and it betrays.

Some may say that you have no right to kill billions, then again, you have no right to let them live" - Warmaster Horus

Time to switch me shoota from tickle to slap"

"Orkses never lose a battle. If we win we win, if we die we die fightin so it don't count. If we runs for it we don't die neither, cos we can come back for annuver go, see!" - Commonly held Ork view of warfare, Ork Codex

I'm going to have to go with the quotes from da Orks as well.

"Wot, this? Naw, I've had this fer ages. Of course the paint's still wet, it's me favourite. Sell it to ya if you like. One careful owner."
-'Fingaz' Rutzeg, Deathskull Loota

"We’s stomped ’umies, we’s blown up stuff and we’s driven our traks from one end of da world to da uvva. We’s gonna come back next year!"
-Bugsplatta Defnik of the Red Wheelz Speed Freeks

"Your foe is well-equipped, well-trained, battle-hardened. He believes his gods are on his side. Let him believe what he will. We have the tanks on ours."
~ Colonel Joachim Pfeiff, 14th Krieg Panzer Regiment

"Do not waste your tears. I was not born to watch the world grow dim. Life is not measured in years, but by the deeds of men."
~Rogue Trader

"Enemies of the Emperor hear me; you have come here to die! The Immortal Emperor is with us, and we are invincible!
His soldiers will strike you down!
His warmachines will crush you under their threads!
His mighty guns will bring the very sky crashing down upon you.
You can not win."
~Governor-General Lukas Alexander

"Drive me closer! I want to hit them with my sword!"
~Lord Commissar Bern

Not 40k but...

"Ye verily, though I drive through the valley of the shadow of death, I shall fear no evil, for I am driving a house sized mass of YOU!"
~Mammoth Tank Commander

There's no turning back... Triumph or oblivion.

Despise infantry if you must. Crush them underfoot, by all means. But do not ignore them. Battlefields are littered with the wreckage of Titans whose crews ignored infantry.

I am glad I lived to see this. To look into the Abyss. To see first hand the evil we dedicate our lives to fight, pure and raw. It is a privilege few imperial warriors are granted.

That was....disturbing

TYRANIDS JUST WANT HUGS AND NOMS!!! D:

P.S. My avatar demanded music so...

"The heraldic cross stands proud on my chest, where Astartes of lesser chapters wear the Emperor's Aquila. We do not wear His symbol. We ARE his symbol."

“Who is to judge what is right and what is wrong? Great and powerful foes surround us; unknown miscreants gnaw at us from within. We are threatened with total annihilation. In days such as these we can afford no luxury of morality.”

"The uniforms of the Imperial Guard are camouflaged in order to protect their wearers by hiding them from sight. The principle is that what the enemy cannot see he cannot kill. This is not the way of the Adeptus Astartes. A Space Marine’s armour is bright with heraldry that proclaims his devotion to his Chapter and the beloved Emperor of Mankind. Our principle is that what the enemy can see, he will soon learn to fear…"

"There are those who undervalue the Penal Battalions. But they should consider this: should a man who has wronged the Emperor be allowed to wrong Him further? For each man executed is a man who can no longer serve, and to fail in service to the Emperor is the greatest of sins."

Well, that's a good start anyway...

I always loved the "Innocence proves nothing" quote. It just explains the untold evil that inquisition and the Imperium altogether must face:
You may as well be innocent, but the forces the Imperium is facing are so strong and corrupting that even those noble of heart and true of purpose may fall, whether willing or not, to the taint of chaos.

"Another flawless victory. Ah well. It almost makes me wish for a loss. just to keep things interesting. Almost, but not quite." ~Lady Mays of the Kabal of the Poisoned Tongue

one of my dads favorites from space marines i believe.

"There is no innocence, only varying degrees of guilt"

"Look at me Flash Boss"

and

"In the 41st millennium, there is no peace, only disputes over rules"

"when life gives you lemons, BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD!
and
"when god gives you lemons you find a new god"

Death, is nothing to Vindication...- The Night Haunter

The difference between Gods and Daemons depends largely upon where one is standing at the time.

'Give me but 10,000 men crazy enough to conquer hell and we'll do it!'

There's no such thing as an obscene amount of firepower. Chronus i think.

"Any Cadian who can't field strip a lasgun by age 10 was born on the wrong planet"
^I love that one because from the way cadians are portrayed in the books thats not a joke, its more like the equivalent of a kid who doesn't know the alphabet at that age.

"camouflage is the colour of fear... I have no need to hide from my foes... I have no fear of death.
My colours I wear openly, they proclaim louder than any words, 'I am proud to live...

...I am proud to die'. "


"My armour is contempt
My shield is disgust
My sword is hatred

In the Emperor's name
let none survive"

I killed millions in the Emperor's name and he gave me his damning silence, now his lapdogs yap for every life I take while the Gods promise me the galaxy.

"Come, show me what passes for fury among your misbegotten kind!" - SM Commander

"Sing the chorus of death! DIE DIE DIE!" - Devastator Marines

From DoWII

"back home I once fancied me a pair of catachan devil boots. killed me half a dozen of the great ugly critters but never found a single one that wore any!" - stonetooth harker to a doubtful munitorum staffer.

"When you fight Tyranids you face not only those before you on the field of battle but the untold thousands which seek to surround you, which attack your supporting units and destroy your supply lines in perfect synchronicity."

also the following ork quotes
"Half-glimpsed shadows? Ork wearing camouflage? Do you take us for imbeciles? Orks are barbaric and entirely single-minded. Army dogma, which has served us well for ten thousand years, teaches us this. Greenskins come on in a great horde, they do not slink and sneak in the shade.
Guards! Take the prisoner to the holding cells to await execution for cowardice and incompetence."

"All Orks is equal, but some Orks are more equal dan uvvas."
