His pattern of returning alive after being declared dead occurred often enough during Cain's career that the Munitorum made a special ruling that Ciaphas Cain is to never be considered dead, despite evidence to the contrary.

But I have have no morsel to share, nor anything to eat. But wait, what is that stickiness upon your feet.
Ah now I have you, now I can eat. Now I can enjoy you, or store you as meat.

"Courage and Honour!" is the Ultramarine battle cry. Not sure if "Strength and Honour" is a successor chapter. Easily could be.

I thought he was referencing the ultramarines, I couldn't find any chapters with the cry strength and honour. Although there are a lot of successor chaptors so I could have missed it.

Interestingly, "Strength and Honour" is the battlecry/salute of Maximus (Russel Crowe) in the film Gladiator. He does it before his cavalry charge and when he meets his second in command they have a warrior salute before both intoning "Strength and Honour". It's lead to me and my brother doing it every single time we meet now

HE IS BETTER" But...in your heart, you love the T-rex, who shouldn't have lost to no stupid Spinosaurus. So you hate the movie. And refuse to love the Spinosaurus because it is a hamfisted attempt at taking what you loved, making it TREX +++ and trying to sell you it.

Wherever zhadsnark da rippa gets behind enemy lines and leads his kamikaze charge the rest of da boyz look on like spectators at the coliseum and chant his name.

"Rip-pa! Rip-pa! Rip-PAH WAAAGH!!!!"

Then he hits home. Body parts go flying and everything is obscured by black smoke and red mist.

Zhad's personal warcry is just redlining the Rpms on his bike. He might say something else but his bike drowns everything out.
