A Generous Heart is the Gift of The Emperor

Also;
The Emperor is with me, and I shall not fear!

And finally

By My Fury they shall know The Emperor's Name!

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.

Okay wow, not even gonna mention SOB when the fact that you didn't even remember SOB means that we make those 4 look like C: SM.

As for my quote (I will always go with the games, gotta remember where you come from.):

Faithful... enlightened... ambitious... brethren.

In but a single decade, a few mere swipes of the pendulum, we have gathered a sacrifice to Khorne that will be made legend. Though it was a simpler, weaker voice that illuminated me during my centuries upon the Judgement of Carrion... it was Khorne's messenger that showed me the true path of freedom from our pathetic corpse-Emperor.

And what is this path? This meaning, this purpose to which we gather the skulls of our foes? It is nothing. There is no meaning, no purpose. We murder. We kill. It is mindless savagery, this UNIVERSE IS MINDLESS!

In mere hours, billions will die. Innocent! Guilty! Strong and weak! Honest and deceitful! ALL of them! They will scream, they will burn, and for no purpose but that mighty Khorne may revel in their bloodshed! And united in this void of purpose, fear, or duty... we shall at long last be free!

BLOOD! FOR THE BLOOD GOD!!! SKULLS! FOR THE SKULL THRONE!!! LET... THE GALAXY... BUUUURRRRNNN!!!
Chapter Master Azariah Kyras

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

It summarises the entire 40k franchise like no other quote does.

I don't remember where I read it but the story is a traitor marine whose bout to be killed by a loyalist. Loyalist is shouting generic insults like traitor! Heretic!

The traitor marine ponders what insult he can use to express 10k years of hatred and fighting. He wonders what he could say to insult the loyalist

"Brother"

I thought it was quite the elegant insult

Edit: phone/spelling

"Only the naive try to forgive and forget!" he roared, "Ahra remembers."

Morr in Path of the Renegade, literally telling a raging World Spirit to 'You mad? Then come at me, bro' at the heart of its power.

Morr had amazing lines all the way through that series, but that was my favourite.

I'd buy that book if Morr and Motley were all that was in it.

Just imagine Motley meeting Cain

"When asked by Iyanden's Council of Seers as to why they (Dark Eldar) intervened, the Dark Eldar reply that they find the Iyanden's angst-ridden forays into the world of necromancy extremely entertaining."

5e DE codex, An unexpected ally

"Let me tell you of my future. My hand will reach out into the stars, reshaping the galaxy into a place of order and unity. Under my reign, the kingdoms of old shall live again, reborn to an age of power and glory the like of which you can only imagine. I will rule every planet touched by the light of this star and, even in the darkness beyond, my name will be whispered with fear and respect."
—Imotekh the Stormlord to Eldorath Starbane, in the wake of the Siege of Somonor

I think this quote gives us all a little bit of something to aspire to.

When it was over, when the blood had dried and the fires had died down, then we found we were the same as we had always been - small and terrified human beings, with only the light of the Emperor to see by in this dark galaxy of sin.

No matter what happens, you will not be missed.


Pretty much sums it up for me.

GW corporate to those who've left the game, especially.

Fixed the grammatical issues. Did this on my phone and missed a section.

The quote will be at the the end, but here is the whole thing for reference:

With a certainty not his own, he understood that his blood was polluted with something wonderful, something intolerable to the race that had built this world. Blood was his devotion, it's substance tainted by the force that had ripped its way to life from the afterbirth of this race's death. In that instant he knew what he had to do.

Julius threw aside his knife, its blade too small and inconsequential for what needed to be done. He drew his serrated sword, the blade impregnated with hooked barbs worked along its length. He howled his submission to the kaleidoscopic skies and charged into the chanting mass of his warriors.

His first blow hacked one of the Vaesoron karkophoni, blood erupting from the mutant's body like an exploding fuel bladder. His second opened the belly of a warrior whose armor was so torn it should have been discarded long ago. A third beheaded a bullish champion whose neck jetted twin fountains of blood 3 meters into the air. Julius barged and cut and hacked his way into the Emperor's Children, feeling his certainty that this was the right thing to do with every opened artery, every severed limb, and every drop of blood spilled. Following his lead the Emperor's Children fell upon one another in an orgy of bloodletting, all cohesion and sense of purpose forgotten in the lustful savagery of killing.

"What in the name of the 12 are they doing?" said Forrix, gripping the steelwork on the battlements with his power gauntlets. "It makes no sense."

Standing beside him, Vull Bronn shook his head. "I have no idea. After what I saw on the Pride of the Emperor, I've given up trying to figure out any sense of the 3rd Legion."

"But this is so wasteful!" shouted Forrix, the metal bending beneath his grip.

"Did you see what started it?"

"I don't know what started it but I know who," said Forrix pointing at the blood drenched figure of Julius Kaesoron as he fought like a demented beserker through those few Emperor's Children still standing. The captain's sword was red with entrails and torn flesh, his hysterical screaming like fingernails on slate.

"Should we try and stop it?" asked the Stonewrought.

"You want to get in the middle of that?"

"Not when I've got a wall to stand behind."

'' Life is a series of suprises that ends with a very nasty one at the end ''

Stormtrooper Andrej, Helsreach

The Grimaldus speech on the 1st page was pretty cool, too.

"To each of us falls a task, and all the Emperor requires of us Guardsmen is that we stand the line, and we die fighting. It is what we do best - we die standing." - General Sturnn of the Imperial Guard

"The enemy of my enemy is a problem for later. In the meantime, they might be useful" -- Inquisitor Quixos
