Right? "Blood for the blood god!" Okay man. I'd say try ebay but it seems like more of a craigslist thing.

Also - Orks Orks Orks Orks Orks Orks Orks Orks - sung in a simple nursery rhyme like tune/chant.

However I am highly biased towards the Orks


I'm not sure if this is what you had in mind but I like the idea of a modified charge chant heard at NBA/NHL games #Dun dun dun dun, dun dun dun dun, da da da da da da!! CHARGE!!!!! But instead replace Dun with Orks and Charge with WAAAGGHHH!

A slow steady chant rising in noise and intensity, leading to the moment the ork boys actually 'go over the top'.

The savagery generally comes when the Bezerker screaming this extracts your blood and skull for his craft project.

Well I like "Attack, Fall back, Attack again" by the Ravenguard.

But the best, and I am shocked 3 pages in, no one has mentioned it.

Is Sevatar of the Night Lords, adopted by all the TRUE (traitor) Legions.

"Death to the False Emperor"

I am plain as vanilla ice cream. WAAAAAGH! and Ere' We Go! Ere' We Go! Ere' We Go! are my favorites.

My favorite memory of WAAAAAGH! Was when we had a GW store located in my town. A security guard comes into the shop and just yells WAAAAAGH! really loud with his arms stretched out looking like a total hero. Everyone in the store just erupts in WAAAAAGH! It was amazing. Brought a tear to my eye, hahaha.

Please note, for those of you who play Chaos Daemons as a faction the term "Daemon" is potentially offensive. Instead, please play codex "Chaos: Mortally Challenged". Thank you.

Clearly you guys have never heard of the best battlecry: HARRIERS FOR THE CUP!

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.

Indeed, and they're still quite enjoyable after quite a few years.

Revenge is a dish best served with mayonnaise and those little cheesy things on sticks.

Not quite a battle cry, but personally, I'm a fan of

"For Humanity and the Emperor, advance and give battle to the unholy!"
-Cardinal Armandus Helfire (Codex: Sisters of Battle, 2nd Edition)

and from my DIY Order Minoris,

"Faith, fire and death!"

Let it be known to all present and future Sisters of our Orders that they must fast at the High Vigils of Saint Thor, Saint Aspira, Saint Jason, Saint Orlanda, Saint Dolan and Saint Constantine of Alamar. Upon the Holy Days of Saint Gherick the Confessor, Saint Decessio and Saint Lucius of Agatha, let them meditate. Let them fast for not less than five days preceding the Most Holy Days of Our Founding Sisters, Saints Dominica, Katherine, Silvana, Mina, Lucia and Arabella. Let them observe silence for the vigils of Saint Capilene, Saint Josmane and Saint Lacena. Upon the Low Days of Saints Yamalla and Corvus the Sabines, Saint Tomasi, Saint Dufaux and most especially Saint Josina, they should both fast and maintain silence, and upon the Days of Saint Praxedes, Saint Kozak and Saint Verevya they should meditate upon martyrdom. Upon the Feast of Saint Jasone, they must fast, but may consider themselves at liberty between matins and vespers.

No battlecry beats the sound of thousands of orkish rounds going off with a chorus of singing blades as they plunge into the humies flesh. With a touch of roaring combustion engines as they crush the enemy

Best Ork cry is the one they make when they get paired with Tau.
You can literally hear that piece of their soul die.

I don't break the rules but I'll bend them as far as they'll go.
