This is just me being curious what everyone thinks about which sayings are the sweetest? Such as "BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD", or "FOR THE EMPORER" or"there is no peace, only war"?

'For the greater good' - purely because it has had the mick taken out of it SOOO many times...

*cough* ah hem....

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!

*Bows* Thank you!

"As a defensive stratagem ducking has much to be desired but for a moment or two it is very reassuring"

All, of these are sweet so far, i really liked that black templar one and the one with the "tanks on our side"

There is no time for peace.
No respite.
No forgiveness.
There is only war.


Not only does it sums up the setting perfectly, but it's also pretty cool sounding.

Seconded.

They can't kill us, because they're also Alpharius.

Oh the ironic little webs we weave...

Your presence does not surprise me, Assassin. I have known of you ever since your craft entered the Eastern Fringes. Why did I not have you killed? Because your mission and the act you are about to commit proves the truth of all I have ever said or done. I merely punished those who had wronged, just as your false Emperor now seeks to punish me. Death is nothing compared to vindication.

-Konrad Kurze, Primarch of the Night Lords

KILL MAIM BURN KILL MAIM BURN KILL MAIM BURN.

'...Surrender and die' - Herald of Despair, (i think)? FOD

We've checked the translation. It's definitely 'and', sir ...

Good stuff The book needs work, but there are some good bits

Seriously speaking: "Some may question your right to kill billions of people. Then again, you have no right to let them live."
"Burn them all, the God Emperor will know his own."
"The difference between Gods and Daemons depends roughly upon where one is standing at the time."
"Before considering how to acheive victory, first make yourself invulnerable to defeat."
"So tell me this. Do you still believe you aren't being used? Do you still think you'll find some... some reward in death for your loyal service?
Do you still think the hatred of the masses is irrelevant? Do you still think your Emperor loves you?"

And of course, the truly epic:
"My sons, the galaxy is burning. We all bear witness to a final truth - our way is not the way of the Imperium.
You have never stood in the Emperor's light.
You never worn the Imperial eagle.
And you never will.
You shall stand in midnight clad, your claws forever red with the lifeblood of my father's failed empire,
Warring through the centuries as the talons of a murdered god.
Rise, my sons, and take your wrath across the stars,
In my name. In my memory.
Rise my Night Lords"

To each of us falls a task. And all the Emperor requires of us Guardsmen is that we stand in line, and we die fighting. It is what we do best.

We die standing.

Innocence Proves Nothing.

Seconded.

I remember is as 'Hope is the beginning of unhappiness'

I found much solice in these words back in my dating days.

Where are those two from?

And they shall know no fear".
