FORGET THE POWER OF TECHNOLOGY, SCIENCE AND COMMON HUMANITY. If you want to take part in the adventure then prepare yourself now. It is a universe you can live today it you dare – for this is a dark and terrible era where you will find little comfort or hope. It is to live in the cruellest and most bloody regime imaginable. To be a man in such times is to be one amongst untold billions. Human blood and human flesh – the stuff of which the Imperium is made. He is the Carrion Lord of the Imperium to whom a thousand souls are sacrificed every day, and for whom blood is drunk and flesh eaten. He is a rotting carcass writhing invisibly with power from the Dark Age of Technology. He is the Master of Mankind by the will of the gods and master of a million worlds by the might of his inexhaustible armies. “For more than a hundred centuries the Emperor has sat immobile on the Golden Throne of Earth. I’ve finally been prompted to get out my copy of Rogue Trader, and what a corker of a quote there is on the first page! Too long, and not marine specific, but a short (the capitalised) part of it might work: You can find the sources for the above, as well as a ton of others here: As it is written in the Codex, so shall it be.” (I actually used this one as a lead-in for an army list last fall, where I took a codex half-company, but didn’t put it on a shirt. “We follow in the footsteps of Guilliman. My word in the soul shall be as my bolter in the field.” Where there is rage, I shall show its course Where there is shame, I shall point atonement “Where there is uncertainty, I shall bring light There are some really great ones out there. There were a bunch of others, but those were my favorite “We are the Emperor’s angels of death, not his angels of mercy.” – Blood Ravens Sarge “While the enemies of the Emperor still draw breath, there can be no peace.” – Captain of the Blood Ravens “Venerate the immortal emperor” – LIbarian “I fear no evil, for I am fear incarnate” – Force Commander “Today the enemy shall know fear.” – Force Commander “It is better to die for the Emperor than live for yourself.” – Dreadnought “Death or healing: I care not which you seek.” – Apothecary “A moment of laxity spawns a lifetime of heresy” – Terminator “We are the Emperor’s chosen!” – Tactical Marine “Hatred is the Emperor’s greatest gift to humanity.” – Menu “Life is the Emperor’s currency: spend it well” – Menu ![]() “Blessed is the mind too small for doubt.” – Menu “There is no innocence, only degrees of guilt.” – Force Commander “Heresy grows from idleness.” – Tactical Marine “Even in death I still serve.” – Dreadnought ![]() “An open mind is like a fortress with its gates unbarred and unguarded” – Librarian You can also find more of his work on his blog.

Though that one doesn’t seem to fit with a Space Marine theme. ![]() “Blessed is the mind too small for doubt.” ![]() Those who understand realise that you have no right to let them live.” – Exterminatus Extremis “Some may question your right to destroy ten billion people. I remember that there were some great iconic quotes from the 2nd edition rulebook and codices, but I don’t have them readily available, so I’m emploring for your help. “For the emperor” and “And they shall know no fear” are iconic, but they’re just not pithy enough for my likes. I scoured the internet looking for something that was relatively iconic (and hopefully recognizable), but also pretty Marine-esque. I went about rectifying this, and found a suitable logo, but saw that the price on the shirt is no different if I print on one side or two, so I thought it’d be nifty to have a good Marine quote on the back. That’s fine and dandy for my Tyranids, but I realize that I don’t have a proper shirt to wear with my Ultramarines. In the past, my nerdshame would’ve prevented me from sporting such attire, but Kurt helped me to “come out of the closet,” and inspired the shirts for Arctic Apocalypse. It came to a crescendo when I saw a local gamer, Kurt, who had made a custom Space Wolf shirt for his army. Over the years, I’ve seen various people in photos from white-dwarf that have donned thematic shirts to go along with their army. Any devoted fan should really be geared up in suitable apparel for the day of the game.
