What about you guys?

Kharn and Sevatar have pretty nice opinions of the Space Wolves.

"Because the Wolves kill cleanly, and we do not. They also kill quickly, and we have never done that, either. They fight, they win, and they stalk back to their ships with their tails held high. If they were ever ordered to destroy another Legion, they would do it by hurling warrior against warrior, seeking to grind their enemies down with the admirable delusions of the 'noble savage'. If we were ever ordered to assault another Legion, we would virus bomb their recruitment worlds; slaughter their serfs and slaves; poison their gene-seed repositories and spend the next dozen decades watching them die slow, humiliating deaths. Night after night, raid after raid, we'd overwhelm stragglers from their fleets and bleach their skulls to hang from our armour, until none remained. But that isn't the quick execution the Emperor needs, is it? The Wolves go for the throat. We go for the eyes. Then the tongue. Then the hands. Then the feet. Then we skin the crippled remains, and offer it up as an example to any still bearing witness. The Wolves were warriors before they became soldiers. We were murderers first, last, and always!"

This one?

On topic, mine is probably in a conversation between Pedro Kantor and one of his captains on Rynn's world. Goes like this: Not likely,” protested Cortez. “I’m still in this. I’m fine.” “No,” Kantor boomed. “You lost an arm, Alessio. By the mercy of the Emperor alone, you’re lucky you didn’t lose your life.” Cortez gestured over Kantor’s shoulder. “I haven’t lost an arm, brother. It’s right over there.” Actual Quote from "Rynn's World" by Steve Parker.

That was Sevatar's, yes!

Innocence proves nothing.

Not sure about the source though there's a novel named that.

"Drive me closer! I want to hit them with my sword!"
Not a canon quote but still one of my favorites.

"You can not stop the might of the Tau Empire." "You can not stop the might of my tank." *CRUNCH*

"The Orks are the pinnacle of creation. For them, the great struggle is won. They have evolved a society which knows no stress or angst. Who are we to judge them? We Eldar who have failed, or the Humans, on the road to ruin in their turn? And why? Because we sought answers to questions that an Ork wouldn't even bother to ask! We see a culture that is strong and despise it as crude."

That quote is awesome! What book is that from?

'Does Sigismund deserve a slap, Captain Torgaddon? Probably. In the spirit of comradeship, let him be. He bruises easily.’ - Rogal Dorn

I have posted this gem from Horus Rising before, but it still amuses me.

"Tell them ruin has come to their world,
Death, despair and red war...
Tell them their hopes and pride have come to nothing,
Tell them their empty whispers fall upon deaf ears
their gods are dead,
human reason has killed them,
Tell them the Angels of Death have come,
Tell them nothing can save them now."

— Attr. Perturabo, Primarch of the Iron Warriors

Just awesome.

When in deadly danger,
When beset by doubt,
Run in little circles,
Wave your arms and shout!

I believe it's called Rynn's World, the one about the crimson fists and them fighting orks.

Haha, when in particular did I say that?

Its a longer one. But I love it. It is from Helsreach

"Do you see that?"
(The Defenders are silent)
"I said... DO YOU SEE THAT?!"
(Still silent)
"ANSWER ME!"
(A few in the crowd says Yes sir)
(Grimaldus starts laughing maniacally)
"Are you all as in insulted as I am? THIS is what they send against us? This RABBLE?! We hold one of the mightiest cities on the face of this planet. The fury of its guns sends all skyborne enemies to the ground in flames. We stand united in our thousands, our weapons without number, our purity without question and our hearts beating courage through our blood. And THIS is how they attack us? Brothers and sisters... A legion of beggars and alien dregs wheezes its way across the plains. Forgive me when the moment comes when they wine and weep against our walls. Forgive that I must order you to wast ammunition upon their worthless bodies. I have heard many speak my name in whispers since I came to Helsreach. I ask you now: Do you know me?"
(A few yes's are heard in the combination of Marines and Steel Legionnaires)
"DO YOU KNOW ME?!"
(Yes's get louder)
"I. AM. GRIMALDUS. OF THE BLACK TEMPLARS! A BROTHER TO THE STEEL LEGIONS OF THIS DEFIANT WORLD!"
(loud cheers follow but they aren't really that into it)
(Grimaldus kicks it up a notch)
"Never again in life will your actions carry such consequences. Never again will you serve as you serve now. No duty will matter as much and no glory will taste as true! We are the defenders of Helsreach! On this day we carve our legend in the flesh of every alien we slay! WILL. YOU. STAND. WITH. ME?!"
(thunderous cheering)
"WILL YOU STAND WITH ME?!"
(more thunderous cheering)
"Sons and daughters of the Imperium! Our blood is the blood of heroes and martyrs! They DARE tread the sacred soil of our world?! We will throw their bodies from these walls when the final day dawns!"
(ravenous cheering)
"THIS IS OUR CITY! THIS IS OUR WORLD! SAY IT! SAY IT! CRY IT SO THAT THE BASTARDS IN ORBIT WILL HEAR OUR FURY! OUR CITY! OUR WORLD!"
"OUR CITY! OUR WORLD!" - the defenders reply
(Grimaldus turns to face the horde of orks. Laughing)
"RUN ALIEN DOGS! COME TO ME! COME TO US ALL! COME AND DIE IN BLOOD AND FIRE!"
"BLOOD AND FIRE!" - defenders
"FOR THE TEMPLARS! FOR THE STEEL LEGION! FOR HELSREACH!"
"FOR HELSREACH!" - defenders
"LOUDER!"
"FOR HELSREACH!" - defenders
(the shouts have broken the glass of several nearby buildings)
"THEY CANNOT HEAR YOU BROTHERS!"
"HELSREACH!" - defenders
"HURL YOURSELVES AT THESE WALLS INHUMAN FILTH! DIE ON OUR BLADES! I. AM. GRIMALDUS. AND I WILL CAST YOUR CARCASSES FROM THESE HOLY WALLS!"
"GRIMALDUS! GRIMALDUS! GRIMALDUS!" - defenders

"Three Legions of Marines stand to defend you, sire. All of us will unflinchingly place ourselves between you and the war’s desolation. We are the greatest humans ever born – we are the flame of Humanity where the rest of the galaxy is just the spark. In centuries of warfare, against the vileness of the alien, the lies of the heretic, the foulness of the mutant, I have never known fear – but your silence terrifies me."

Though guards may rest and ships may lay at anchor, my foes know full well that big guns never tire.

There were some other great lines, but that one sticks out for me.

"You were told to leave, wolf,"

*HAWK* SPLAT!
"Make me!"

Conversation between un-named Dark Angel Biker and Wolf Lord Sven Bloodhowl...ending the way Dark Angel and Space Wolf communication usually does.

That, like most of the Dawn of War quotes, predates the game by a significant margin. It is, in fact, a Thought for the Day from the 3rd edition rulebook.

And they shall know no fear.

Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment. It really does sum up GW's relationship with it's customers, doesn't it?

One of my favorite quotes and actually quite applicable for pessimists (which I am). It also does sum up GW's relationship with CSM, Orks, DE, and Blood Angel players.
