Welcome to Ancients Awakening................................................. All units report to your stations................................................................................................. To be Unclean That is the mark of the Mutant - To be Impure - That is the mark of the Mutant - To be Abhorred - That is the mark of the Mutant - To be Reviled - That is the mark of the Mutant - To be Hunted -That is the mark of the Mutant - To be Purged - That is the fate of the Mutant - To be Cleansed - For that is the fate of all Mutants ~Extract from a Training Chant in the First Book of Indoctrinations.........................................................................In any army, balance is the key to success. A commander who puts his faith in heavy weaponry alone will be outmanuevred. A commander who relies on close combat without support will lose his force to enemy fire. Each element must work in harmony, so that the effectiveness of the army is greater than the sum of its parts. ~Tactica Imperium .............................................................................. CATECHISM OF THE XENO To be Unclean - That is the Mark of the Xenos - To be Impure - That is the Mark of the Xenos - To be Abhorred - That is the Mark of the Xenos - To be Reviled - That is the Mark of the Xenos - To be Hunted - That is the Mark of the Xenos - To be Purged - That is the fate of the Xenos - To be Destroyed - For that is the fate of all Xenos ~The Third Book of Indoctrinations .........................................................................Do not strike until you are ready to crush the enemy utterly, and then attack without mercy, destroy every vestige of resistance, leave no one to work against you. ~Tactica Imperium ..................................................................................... Whatever happens we have the Emperors blessing, they do not ~The Guardsman's Duty, a traditional ballad .........................................................................A good general does not lead an army to destruction just because he knows it will follow. ~Tactica Imperium .........................................................................Some may question your right to destroy ten billion people. Those who understand realise that you have no right to let them live... ~In Exterminatus Extremis .........................................................................Identify your target.Concentrate your fire on it to the exclusion of all else. When it is destroyed choose another target. That is the way to secure victory! ~Tactica Imperium .........................................................................He who allows the alien to live, shares its crime of existence. ~Inquisitor Apollyon .........................................................................Always endeavor to fight the enemy on your terms. If you are powerful at close quarters then engage in dense terrain where your advantage will prove greatest. If you are superior at long range then fight the battle at a distance. If you have greater numbers then attack along an extended front. Use reserves to break through when the enemy's overstreched lines collapse. If outnumbered then concentrate your forces so that the enemy can fight only your best troops. No one ever won a battle who failed to take advantage of his enemy's weakness. ~Tactica Imperium ..............................................................................Bringer of death, speak your name For you are my life, and the foe's death. ~Litany of the Lasgun from The Imperial Infantryman's Uplifting Primer .........................................................................An open battlefield is nothing but a death trap - in war any visible target is a casualty no matter how well protected it may be. ~Tactica Imperium ..................................................................................The creatures of the Warp have but one trait with which you need concern yourself - their undying contempt for the Emperor. It is your task to quell the rebellion they preach, and the only sure way is to destroy them utterly. ~Qualtak Shoran.........................................................................A commander must have the courage to see his plan through, for good or ill. Wars are won or lost when the battle-lines are drawn. ~Tactica Imperium ............................................................................... The Emperor is our father and our guardian. But we must also guard the Emperor. For He is all Humankind, and Humankind is no more than its faith and diligence in the Emperor's name. An injury to that faith is an injury to the Emperor and to every citizen of the Imperium. It is through affirmation of that faith that our greatest duty lies, but sometimes mere affirmation does not suffice and we must act against those who would harm the faith of humanity through heresy. For we are engaged in an unending war for the soul of the Imperium. Though it may seem the fight will never end, there is victory even in the defeat we see threatening all around. There is no greater proclamation of faith than to offer up our very lives to guard the soul of humanity. In this we win a victory greater in magnitude than the harm that any heretic can inflict, and so every battle is a shining triumph that the traitor and the apostate can never take away from us. ~Dying words of Saint Mina, patron of the Order of the Bloody Rose .....................................................................................................................................................If you are strong, feign weakness. If weak, pretend strength. Whatever your position, conceal it from the enemy, and he will waste his armies fighting his own phantoms. ~Tactica Imperium ............................................................................ What is the strongest weapon of mankind? The god-machines of the Adeptus Mechanics? No! The Astartes Legions? No! The tank? The lasgun? The fist? No to all! Courage, and courage alone stands above them all! ~Lord Solar Macharius .........................................................................If the enemy comes on in a great horde, as Orks are wont to do, then try direct them into a narrow defile or enclosed space, such that their numbers work against them. Crowded together those at the front will impede those behind, whilst the push from the rear will prevent those at the front from retreating or finding a better path. ~Tactica Imperium ............................................................................. "Our end is come. But what an end! We have been given the most precious gift: a chance to roar our defiance into the foes that overwhelms us with their numbers. Let the Emperor himself hear our final battle cry! Forward warriors of the Guard, and die like the heroes that you are!" ~Last speech of Colour Sargeant Kint, before the annhilation of the Braxian 9th, in the Luxxan Campaign against the Orks .........................................................................What do I ask of my Officers? Merely that they do their duty with fire in their bellies and a prayer on their lips. ~Lord Castellan Ursarkar E. Creed ............................................................................... After the orbital strikes, Thunderhawk bombardments, Whirlwinds, Vindicators, fusion and starfire and finally Battle Brothers with flamers had finished cleansing the world of all the enemies of Man, we built a monastery in the center of the largest, most radioactive impact crater. We named the planet "Tranquility", for it was very quiet now. ~Brother Vlad Carthas ............................................................................. Do not ask, 'Why kill the alien?' Rather ask, 'Why not?' ~Battle Brother Artemis of the Deathwatch
