So in my ongoing story, one of the characters is trying to come up with a regimental slogan for his Imperial Guard Regiment, the 85th Vendoland (From Dawn of War 2)
I'm rather terrible when it comes to mottos and names, so I am looking for suggestions from you guys.
If it helps, the 85th are pretty much a bog standard infantry regiment with Chimera support. They're pretty roughed up, not shiny new troopers, but hard bitten veterans of the Tyranid War and the Aurelian Crusade.
Any suggestions would be great.

My regiment is called the screaming beagles, named after the dead mascot of their first commander who was shot by the regimental commissar for not being quiet during their pass out muster...their motto is 'advance and die together!'

My suggestion is do something a bit quirky rather than hardcore, it's more memorable that way!

Fits with the character responsible being a joker/smartass. I'm still unsure though. Hence the suggestions.

Some of those regiments have been around for a very long time...
'Nobody's Own' is a fun one.

Okay, I think I've settled on one I like. "In Princeps Gloria": First Glory.
What do you think? If I've got my latin wrong, please point it out. I want to make a joke out of how illiterate of High Gothic the characters are, so it would be funny if neither of them knew what was the correct spelling.

im pretty sure its not in princeps gloria, its "in principe gloria(with one of those marks over the a). cause words directly after "in" take the ablative which is principe not princeps, thats the nomnative plural and so does gloria cause its modifying so you need abl. which is a with a thing over it.

Wouldn't In Principe Gloria translate to "In the Glory of the Emperor"? That could actually work...

You may have noticed that I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing when it comes to latin or pseudo "gothic" latin from 40k. You're a great help.

One of my favourite mottos that I thought I might share (stolen from an old Magic: The Gathering card, 'Goblin Hero' IIRC)
'To be a [goblin] hero, you don't have to take a step forward, everyone else just has to take a step back...'

Mandorallen turned back toward the insolently sneering baron. 'My Lord,' The great knight said distantly, 'I find thy face apelike and thy form misshapen. Thy beard, moreover, is an offence against decency, resembling more closely the scabrous fur which doth decorate the hinder portion of a mongrel dog than a proper adornment for a human face. Is it possibly that thy mother, seized by some wild lechery, did dally at some time past with a randy goat?' - Mimbrate Knight Protector Mandorallen.
