"The Orks plague the galaxy from the end to end with their ceaseless warring and strife. They are a race rooted so deeply in war that peace is utterly incomprehensible to them. They cannot be bargained with or bought save with weapons that they will inevitable turn against those who tried to bribe them. I pray with all my faith that some great catastrophe will annihilate them but I fear that ultimately it is they, not we, who shall rule the galaxy."

- Xanthius, High Lord of Terra

I forgot the origin of the quote, but I think it was from a Black Library book about the Imperial Fists.

"You have lost your arm, Brother."

"No I haven't. It is over there"

''Oh no! Not them!'' Imperial shock troops, DOW

Did somebody call for an a** shaker?- Basilisk from DOW

Waaagh!

Might makes right.

More dakka!

Krump em ladz!

Everyone else's quotes will fall to dust in the wake of the great Waaagh!

"The Adeptus Mechanicus is capable of creating the deadliest war machines imaginable, but they accept no responsibility for their employment. Too obsessed with what can be created, they do not stop to consider whether it should be created in the first place." - Anon

Jurassic Park reference

"Paranoia is a very comforting state of mind. If you think they're out to get you, it means you think you matter." One of my most favorite quotes from the Caiaphas Cain novels. In a couple of the books, each chapter was prefaced with a usually interesting quote from some Imperial historical figure.

From the 5th ed guard codex:

" In 994.M40. Ork lootas infiltrated the Army 52 artillery park and stole one of 3 death strike missile launchers. How this was achieved was the subject of a two year investigation in which a dozen generals were executed for dereliction if duty. The Orks used the launcher shortly after it was taken during the battle for Baric Six. The cataclysmic explosion accounted for the destruction of two entire armoured companies of the Mordian 278th, the baneblade Steel Might and over a hundred surprised Orks.

Mine is from the DoW 2 trailer:

"This planet is ours, witch." --SM Commander

"No...this planet...is theirs." -- Dying Eldar Farseer, pointing to the looming Tyranid swarm in the sky

"What I cannot crush with words I will crush with the tanks of the Imperial Guard!"

- Lord Commander Solar Macharius

"Little did I know at the time..." ~Commissar Ciaphas Cain

"Innocence proves nothing" - sooooo judge dredd

"If you truly do hail from the realm mortal men once called Hell, when you return tell your kindred it was Sanguinius who threw you back."

Sanguinius to Ka'Bandha.

The Space Marine video games had some good ones, made all the better because if there's one man alive that actually sounds like an Astartes might, it's Mark Strong (who voiced the player character, for those not familiar with the game).

The best one, I think, to a Demon Prince... 'You want to talk with your gods? I will send you to them'...

WAAAGH!

"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, Krieg 14th Armoured Regiment

"Drive me closer! I want to hit them with my sword!"


[edit] Oh wait... that might not be legit.

This is hard...

"What are the Imperial Guard for if not to die for the Emperor?" -DoW

And another...from the same game.

"Power demands sacrifice."

It's simple yet elegant.

In Sanctus reach in a side bar they had the excepts from a vox transmission of someone under attack by a shokk attack gun that went something like this...

"Cadian Signals Batt. Epsilon, Vox Intercept 345b [CALLSIGNS ALARIC]
‘...Vermillion Lance proceeding apace, Sire Versteran, causeway appears stable and
clear...’
‘Understood Sire Tormus, send out your Sword and Shield, make sure the way is
open... These damnable creatures are wont to hide among the rocks.’
‘By your word my lord, I can see some movement on the cliff, and some kind of–’
‘Tormus! What was that flash? What is going on? Tormus! Respond!’
‘EMPEROR’S TEETH! MY FACE! MY–’

It was added to Dawn Of War II, so it is legit.

Dawn of War - A good soldier obeys without question. A good officer commands without doubt.

Grünwald, Ordo Xenos - Perfidious Eldar! These aliens had the stars in their grasp and now are left to sift the dust of their once fabulous realm. For all their intellect and mysticism they could not contain the beast within them, nor tame the wild monsters of the Shadow. Why should we pay them any heed?
