People don't seem to realise that the faith is very real... and a benefit to the Imperium. Since the warp mirrors human emotion and belief... the sheer fanatacism of mankind is what assigns it so many of its powers against Chaos; the reasons that litanies, chants and purity seals all hurt and damage Daemons is the power that is assigned to them through Faith... If the Imperium went "sciency" entirely, they'd lose most of their protection against Chaos!
Well, yes, but fighting chaos is a pretty fruitless cause aswell. To fight chaos is to fight humanity at it's lowest. It's the fanaticism, intolerance and ignorance of the imperium that transforms it's own people into ruthless terrorists and warriors, misunderstood and radicalised. The imperium should learn to live with chaos instead of fight it, and that is no heresy because, as much as the imperial zealots would disagree, the emperor is not a god; he is a man, the best man that has ever lived. To me, the real heresy here is to kill a poor man warped by chaos. A son who hates his father does not deserve death, but punishment, so that may he one day become a part of the mighty imperium of mankind, yet again. However, if this ever becomes the canon, 40k would become extremely dull. A completely united imperium would easily win all wars against all other xenos factions in the universe, except for maybe the orks and the tyranids, and would surely have a good relationship with the blueberries. I don't think a single person in the world wants that
@@lordtomlluckrahthegreat9014 I mostly agree. The Imperium creates the suffering and repression that drives people to sink to the depravities of chaos, since they are punished for milder expressions of natural humanity. And the Imperium feeds chaos as well. They can pray to the Emperor all they like, but their fanatical ripping and tearing of heretics is no different from the butchery of Khorne berserkers in the end. For he cares not from whence the blood flows... What of the decay and stagnation of the Imperium and the despair of the citizens who languish under it? Nurgle is surely drinking full of that. The schemes and conspiracies of Inquisitors dance to the virtuosic song of Tzeentch, and the vainglorious Imperial authorities who drape themselves in holy baroque aesthetics surely please the prince of excess in a very ironic way. And the son might have good reason to hate his father. At the end of the day the Emperor is an autocratic dictator who declared 'my way or the highway' for the whole of humanity, and ruined our chances of surviving without him. Chaos is simply humanity- but the Imperium has tried so hard to snuff out the slightest hint of humanity they don't like that even the most extreme depraved version of it looks like freedom to the oppressed human being under the Imperium's yoke.
Holy crap, you're soooo right! I didn't even consider the dark gods could directly benefit from the violence, stagnation, mischief and pride the imperium of man naturally emanates! I mean, I guess Khorne doesn't get shit as long as the Inquisition "cleanses" their enemies to death and the imperial guard perpetuates the use of long-range cauterizers (unless Khorne is not as literal with his definition of "bloodletting"), but about a million guardsmen do still get systematically mauled, split open and turned into minced meat daily, not even by the forces of chaos most of the time. And even with Khorne out of the way: yeah, Nurgle esencialy feeds of the nature of the imperium. As long as the imperium exists in it's current form, and it will always conserve this way of being because that is what it does and probably will do forever, the imperium will be threatened by pustulous, ruinous and depressing daemons of the warp. So then there's all the killing of heretics the Imperium's being doing, and all the times it destroyed newfound knowledge because it was heresy, all the times Horrors used the paranoia of high ranking imperial aristocrats to influence the global political spectrum and all the times when outcast psykers opened portals to hell or got possessed because all the people around them were too busy distancing themselves as much as possible from said psykers. The imperium is indeed doubly fucked, and everything it either does or doesn't do fucks it even more

+Christian Plante IG is far from being the weakest faction imo. Still,you are right. This Stronghold - and the Sisters in general - are a nightmare for the Imperial Guard in game.
Uncle Skull,14'th Panonian Regiment of the Imperial Guard When your main troop is only powerful in numbers, require different squad leaders for constant morale checks, and rely on vehicles to take down enemies as support, they are the weakest to start out. Even the Eldar have better main troops. But this argument can go on until Magnus turns pale, the Emperor's right hand fucks off to wherever the left went and the grox are coming home if I don't say that every player handles each faction differently.
+Christian Plante I mostly play multiplayer and I was refering to it. The Imperial Guard is a *very good* race with a lot of powerful abilities. The Guard has biggest problems in tier 1 due to most of the abilities being locked off and no vehicles,however IG is basically rush immune unless the IG is a complete noob (this is because of bunker guns). The Command Squad is excellent for buying time due to it's immense speed and high building damage - you can run into a enemy base and whack a gen or maybe even two if your enemy teched like a dick ,and at the same time learn what type of build is he going for. For example,if you are playing against a DE,you will learn if he went Hall of Blood or Dark Foundry + Tech to Jetbikes,and you should be able to act accordinly (kill mandrakes/destroy a gen or two/GTFO if a jetbike is shooting at you). Guardsmen themselves indeed do start out as very poor troops,and in tier 1 without a tactica they are only used for capping and maybe fire support for your cs if they have to fight a far stronger enemy commander. However,they are very cost effective. In tier 2 Commissars get execute. Execute doesn't only make all of your army morale-immune,it also increases the rate of fire of Lasguns and Hellguns by a LOT. It also does it in a large area of effect,so you only need 1 or two Commissars in your force. A Ministorum Priest is also a godly commander,the buffs he gives to a squad are insane + fanaticism in tier 3 is just awesome. After the essential upgrates at the tactica (Battle Armor + Satellite Targeting + Weapons Specialization),plasma guns and a priest + execute Guardsmen become ungodly powerful (but still remain quite fragile) in tier 2. 2 Squads decked out like this and 1 with a commissar with combined plasma/grenades are able to take most opponents in tier 2. If they get a vehicle,use a Sentinel or if it is a lone vehicle,just cast Curse of the Machine Spirit on it and focus fire. You can take them out. In tier 3 tough you get Kasrkin and Ogryn...but that is a story for itself. 'Tis is true,I just wanted to point out that Guardsmen are the most cost effective unit in the game by far. After Weapons Specilization Grenades and Plasma guns become insanely damaging and if there is a Commissar popping heads constantly,you get a lot for what you paid for.
Uncle Skull,14'th Panonian Regiment of the Imperial Guard Makes you want to listen to the Imperial Guard Song, eh? "I've got the reach and the teeth of a killin' machine with the need to bleed you when the light goes green.." and other lyrics.
IG isn't weak, but its early-game strategy relies on massed cannon-fodder infantry and defensive gameplay so it can build up its forces until it acquires tanks - and to get offworld it has no choice but to fight its way through the faction that favours heavy infantry and flamer weapons. So it's a good faction, it just has an incredibly rough start.
The sisters of battle were created by the Adeptus Ministrorum or Imperial Church. They were originally a group of warrior ladies devoted to the Emperor called the "Daughters of the Emperor". They vought through the Age of Apostasy removing the tyrant Vandire. The six Ordo Militants have existed since then. They are fanatical yes but there are things like sisters Hospitallier which are a welcome sight everywhere in the Imperium. They are medics and nurses as well. I find the Sisters needed.
I found this battle to be so easy...... all you do as Guard is just get a load of men, rush the nearest enemy position, wreck that, use the Regimental Bodyguards with Commissar to hold off the other northern enemy position, build a ton of Turrets to defend against the Crusades, then use Marauders to bomb the heck out of the relic units, capture that, get a Baneblade and about 2-3 Leman Russ tanks, mount your infantry in Chimeras and then the enemy's screwed.
several billion? i don't even think there is a number high enough to count the imperium's citizens, in Eisenhorn: Malleus, there is one planet with around 7 billion inhabitants, and thats one out off, Emperor knows how many planets
Not sure what the Inquisition has to do with this, but in regards to your question... I remember reading about a group of individuals who protected the Emperor in secret, a secret kept even from him. They worked in the shadows and killed any threats quietly until one day:: "Thus they finally revealed themselves to the Emperor and he did see the magnificent duty they had taken upon themselves and he was most pleased." Origin of the Assassinorum. So the big guy isn't against sneakiness outright
***** actually he probably to busy for that! i mean theirs no recollection of him having any sexual relationships and when he did have kids he made them in a lab, I mean he would just be above such a thing a as a harem considering how he values humanity and wants to be the ultimate example for them, and having 10,000000 battle sister lovers dosn't qualify as that, not to mention how he isnt exactly interested in pleasing the chaos god of excess
Daniel rogers Well yeah, but Slaanesh wants to watch with warp binoculars tho... you wouldn't want to leave a chaos god hangin would you? And also, to be fair, I think the Emperor would be quite pissed with the current affairs of humanity. The excessive corruption and misplaced zealotry would be enough to make me say "eh, fuck it" if I were in his shoes XD
And by that, I mean fucking the Battle Sisters, firing bolter rounds in every direction while I ride a pimped out golden chariot pulled by all the canonesses. I would be a benevolent god.
PLASTIC SISTERS OF BATTLE CONFIRMED FOR 2019!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No, seriously, no kidding, go check the Warhammer community: 2018/03/22/breaking-news-major-revealsgw-homepage-post-1/
continuing what I said also: Spartan boys endured beatings as a part of their training(2 boys would sit strapped to a post, whenever one goes unconscious, the other one standing wins) Spartan mothers made sure their boys would become warriors, and Spartans could not tolerate weakness(hence why women were trained to handle things if men weren't home)
I like the mini-story in the video description, tho it sounds like its coming from one weak of faith... Sisters of Battle were my first and, to this day, only 40K army; I play an all-girl army (Without using Rhino Rush OR Exorcists! Take that!) So anyhow, thankee again for the upload... tho the organ gets a little grating, the melody is nice.
Not at all, it's good to see others posting on here who worship at the plastic altars of Games Workshop. I salute thee! None of my friend's play Tau and I've always wanted to fight a Tau army...maybe someone at my FLGS does.
I think it's because people are naturally drawn to it. Not necessarily the oppression, or lack of individual liberty, or any of that. People just know strength when they see it.
I'd pick the Tau ;) Sometimes I think about what the "best" race to be killed by would be... and I'd say SoB would rate pretty low (FLAME'D!). Really, the twisted conclusion is Tyranids... whilst they're perhaps the most terrifying to fight... they don't kill out of malice, they will simply kill you; they won't elongate it or torture you... just a quick terrifying death... Number two would be the Necrons, yet again they just kill you... but there is the possibility of capture/enslavement...
Emperor: I'm pretty awesome. There should be more of me around. *creates Primarchs and SM* You know the Vindicare Assassin unit for the IG in DoW? Big sniper rifle? Officio Assassinorum is in charge of sending them out, along with other assassins(Eversor, etc) Don't know about origins of the Inq, though one rumor states the Em at least started Ordo Malleus. Do you think the Inquisition has saved more lives than it has ended? "Innocents die so that Humanity may live." -Gabriel Angelos
He dont need to crush an ant... thanks to his legendary achievements he formed a force that will now, and always crush whole world and grind every force in universe as Empire does everyday...
If you let things take their course, there is no if, because the Golden Throne has experienced failures and no one understands it. I don't even know if it was meant to preserve the Emperor forever either, even if anyone knew how to maintain it. All the strength in the world won't help you fix, say, an air conditioner, if you don't know how it works. It would be interesting to see what kind of condition he's in if he does reincarnate, mentally as well as physically.
well I guess what I said is to complicated for your simpleness. Also if you read the storyline for the sisters of battle it says that dominca and her sisters were called by the emperor into the golden throne to by the emperor even though he was in his current state then. After that the sister of battle order militant was formed with a secret mission by the emperor. It would appear that the emperor changed his mind about faith. Expescially after seeing chaos.
But don't you see? That's the beauty of it. Billions and billions of lives are sacrificed in the furnace of war, trillions cry out to this great golden figure who sits atop a grand throne... a withered corpse. Such a striking setting. Well, maybe it's just me, it struck me so much I even made a video. How about the Planetary Defense Force? They're the home-grown, first line of defense for most Imperial worlds and are separate from the IG. As for the Emperor's "death" look to the Astronomicon
The goal of Chaos is not extermination, but rather domination. There is a theory regarding positive Warp gods... which some believe the Emperor will eventually become.
Well...all I can say above all this argument is that the Sisters are more devoted to the Emperor than anyone else!! They are the true fists of the emperor! They have the right of authority of the Space Marines and Imperial Guards!
Millerberto Commissar: FEAR ME AND... *Sisters of battle appears* *Sisters sees Commisar's erection* SoB: HERESY! TO ME SISTERS! THIS MAN MUST BE BURNED!
IF the Emperor does fall. He will come back even stronger than he already is. But as I said. IF he dies, that event is very unlikely. Because no matter how much the vile heretics of Chaos believe the might of the imperium is much more powerful then they are.
Gather thy affects, gather thy weapons, gather thy purity of thyn immortal god, babtize thyn hertics and mutants in fire and metal, become a servent of his will and become pure.
Sure, some of them go, "FOR TERRA/OTHER HOMEWORLD!" or "FOR X CHAPTER/X REGIMENT" The SM shout for the Emperor not because of religion, but because all SM can trace their lineage back to the Emperor. They are his children/grandchildren in a sense. A man can fight for his home and still cry out for the Emperor to guide his hand as he strikes the enemy down.
Bah, The space marines follow sects and creeds set BEFORE the imperium was even dry. Roboute Gulliman set out rules for the astartes to follow, back when the emperor was WATCHING HIM DO IT. The marines are the same as they have always been, weapons for their father, defenders of humanity, and lunatics in armour with rather sexy weaponry. Oh, and balls of steel to match, unlike the IG.
Simple really. In the time known as the age of apostacy, the high lord of the Echlisiarchy rebeled from the Imperium. After they put him down, they issued a decree that the Echlisiarchy could no longer keep 'Men under arms'. To get around this, they picked fanatically religious women and stuck them in power armour. They are now the right hand of the Echlisiarchy in battle.
They didn't kick the entire Ecclesiarchy out. The high lord rebelled, and created the Sisters of Battle (at the time, I think they were called the Brides of the Emperor). They thought they were doing the Emperor's will, until their leader actually had a meeting with the Emperor. What was said in the meeting isn't told, but she ended up killing the high lord because of whatever the Emperor said; after that, they went back to the Imperium on the loyalist side, alongside the Marines and Guard.
The only name or cause worth fighting for and dying for is Chaos. All originated from Chaos and all will return to Chaos... Willingly or not. Those that oppose us are fools who shall be burnt with unholy fire. Those who embrace us shall have power by the will of the Dark Gods. Only Chaos will gain from your sacrifice. For Chaos! For the Changer of the Ways!

The Command Squad is excellent for buying time due to it's immense speed and high building damage - you can run into a enemy base and whack a gen or maybe even two if your enemy teched like a dick ,and at the same time learn what type of build is he going for. For example,if you are playing against a DE,you will learn if he went Hall of Blood or Dark Foundry + Tech to Jetbikes,and you should be able to act accordinly (kill mandrakes/destroy a gen or two/GTFO if a jetbike is shooting at you).
Guardsmen themselves indeed do start out as very poor troops,and in tier 1 without a tactica they are only used for capping and maybe fire support for your cs if they have to fight a far stronger enemy commander. However,they are very cost effective. In tier 2 Commissars get execute. Execute doesn't only make all of your army morale-immune,it also increases the rate of fire of Lasguns and Hellguns by a LOT. It also does it in a large area of effect,so you only need 1 or two Commissars in your force. A Ministorum Priest is also a godly commander,the buffs he gives to a squad are insane + fanaticism in tier 3 is just awesome. After the essential upgrates at the tactica (Battle Armor + Satellite Targeting + Weapons Specialization),plasma guns and a priest + execute Guardsmen become ungodly powerful (but still remain quite fragile) in tier 2. 2 Squads decked out like this and 1 with a commissar with combined plasma/grenades are able to take most opponents in tier 2. If they get a vehicle,use a Sentinel or if it is a lone vehicle,just cast Curse of the Machine Spirit on it and focus fire. You can take them out.
In tier 3 tough you get Kasrkin and Ogryn...but that is a story for itself.
'Tis is true,I just wanted to point out that Guardsmen are the most cost effective unit in the game by far. After Weapons Specilization Grenades and Plasma guns become insanely damaging and if there is a Commissar popping heads constantly,you get a lot for what you paid for.
Uncle Skull,14'th Panonian Regiment of the Imperial Guard Makes you want to listen to the Imperial Guard Song, eh? "I've got the reach and the teeth of a killin' machine with the need to bleed you when the light goes green.." and other lyrics.
IG isn't weak, but its early-game strategy relies on massed cannon-fodder infantry and defensive gameplay so it can build up its forces until it acquires tanks - and to get offworld it has no choice but to fight its way through the faction that favours heavy infantry and flamer weapons.
So it's a good faction, it just has an incredibly rough start.
Man i could listen to 2:20 for an entire day and still would not be bored
Spiritus dominatus,
Domine, libra nos,
From the lightning and the tempest,
Our Emperor deliver us.
my favorite stronghold music but my most hated battle. Sisters Reptentia! CHARGE!
that quote in the description gives me the shivers. Its good especially the ending: Do you...?
Ladies and gentlemen's they come back as plastic models and St. Celiestia bring sisters and Black Crusade to gate of Cadia.
So if the emperor were to return, would they all just throw themselves at him since they've been saving themselves for him?
The sisters of battle were created by the Adeptus Ministrorum or Imperial Church. They were originally a group of warrior ladies devoted to the Emperor called the "Daughters of the Emperor". They vought through the Age of Apostasy removing the tyrant Vandire. The six Ordo Militants have existed since then. They are fanatical yes but there are things like sisters Hospitallier which are a welcome sight everywhere in the Imperium. They are medics and nurses as well. I find the Sisters needed.
POV: you see an Exorcist rolling over the hill in the distance
In his name let all those weak of faith be purged from existance.
Brotherz!!! The Bolter Bitches are upon us!!! ATTACK!!!
***** Purge it just to be safe.
+hereLiesThisTroper Leave nothing but cinders and ash!
Christian Plante it's CIIIIIIINDEEEEERS AND AASSSHHHHHHH!
The old way of the Imperium is gone. The Emperor is worshipped now, despite him not wanting to be worshipped.
I found this battle to be so easy...... all you do as Guard is just get a load of men, rush the nearest enemy position, wreck that, use the Regimental Bodyguards with Commissar to hold off the other northern enemy position, build a ton of Turrets to defend against the Crusades, then use Marauders to bomb the heck out of the relic units, capture that, get a Baneblade and about 2-3 Leman Russ tanks, mount your infantry in Chimeras and then the enemy's screwed.
several billion? i don't even think there is a number high enough to count the imperium's citizens, in Eisenhorn: Malleus, there is one planet with around 7 billion inhabitants, and thats one out off, Emperor knows how many planets
Now is a good time to reveal that I am The Emperor, and you can never bring me down.
Sisters of Battle....transforming heresy into a a well done barbeque ;)
the music sounds just great 😎👍
You could truly say these ladies are “hot”. 🔥
So HOT they might Melta your face.
EMPEROR, OUR FATHER AND GUARDIAN
Sworn ever to your service when at peace and when at war
Not sure what the Inquisition has to do with this, but in regards to your question... I remember reading about a group of individuals who protected the Emperor in secret, a secret kept even from him. They worked in the shadows and killed any threats quietly until one day::
"Thus they finally revealed themselves to the Emperor and he did see the magnificent duty they had taken upon themselves and he was most pleased."
Origin of the Assassinorum. So the big guy isn't against sneakiness outright
UNBELIEVERS... MUST... DIIIIIIEEEE!!!!!!
One:fill him with venom.
Two:slice him apart.
Three:Eat him and his planet for the hive mind.
Glory to the Emperor!
I love this song
Its not that their celibate its just that all their love is for the Emperor
now only if the emperor came back to life. he would have the largest harem in the universe. tho he probably wouldnt like how fanatical they are
***** actually he probably to busy for that! i mean theirs no recollection of him having any sexual relationships and when he did have kids he made them in a lab, I mean he would just be above such a thing a as a harem considering how he values humanity and wants to be the ultimate example for them, and having 10,000000 battle sister lovers dosn't qualify as that, not to mention how he isnt exactly interested in pleasing the chaos god of excess
Daniel rogers Well yeah, but Slaanesh wants to watch with warp binoculars tho... you wouldn't want to leave a chaos god hangin would you? And also, to be fair, I think the Emperor would be quite pissed with the current affairs of humanity. The excessive corruption and misplaced zealotry would be enough to make me say "eh, fuck it" if I were in his shoes XD
And by that, I mean fucking the Battle Sisters, firing bolter rounds in every direction while I ride a pimped out golden chariot pulled by all the canonesses. I would be a benevolent god.
I think The Emperor actually had kids born from sexual relationships aside of the Primarchs and other lab experiments.
Excellent theme music
Dei, quod reliquum est, nolite metuere, et ossa tua liberabit, exspectans.
EXPECTO PETRONUM oh shit wrong thread.
Such spirit... such devotion... you shall indeed make a worthy adversary to the great Gods of Chaos.
PLASTIC SISTERS OF BATTLE CONFIRMED FOR 2019!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No, seriously, no kidding, go check the Warhammer community:
2018/03/22/breaking-news-major-revealsgw-homepage-post-1/
On my phone this track has name: ALL MUST BE PURGED
continuing what I said also: Spartan boys endured beatings as a part of their training(2 boys would sit strapped to a post, whenever one goes unconscious, the other one standing wins)
Spartan mothers made sure their boys would become warriors, and Spartans could not tolerate weakness(hence why women were trained to handle things if men weren't home)
Ah yes, Battle of Hoover Dam has quite the new appeal!
I like the mini-story in the video description, tho it sounds like its coming from one weak of faith...
Sisters of Battle were my first and, to this day, only 40K army; I play an all-girl army (Without using Rhino Rush OR Exorcists! Take that!) So anyhow, thankee again for the upload... tho the organ gets a little grating, the melody is nice.
Not at all, it's good to see others posting on here who worship at the plastic altars of Games Workshop. I salute thee!
None of my friend's play Tau and I've always wanted to fight a Tau army...maybe someone at my FLGS does.
Humanity at it's best. We care not to be picky when war arise, we just choose a side and blast the other.
Sisters of battle: So fanatically psychotic that they make the pre-heresy Word Bearers, Dark Angels and the Black Templars look tame in comparison
I think it's because people are naturally drawn to it. Not necessarily the oppression, or lack of individual liberty, or any of that. People just know strength when they see it.
Keep in mind, the Machine god is actually a Necron C'tan God ;)
I'd pick the Tau ;)
Sometimes I think about what the "best" race to be killed by would be... and I'd say SoB would rate pretty low (FLAME'D!).
Really, the twisted conclusion is Tyranids... whilst they're perhaps the most terrifying to fight... they don't kill out of malice, they will simply kill you; they won't elongate it or torture you... just a quick terrifying death... Number two would be the Necrons, yet again they just kill you... but there is the possibility of capture/enslavement...
They had one for awhile during the Horus Heresy, but then the Emperor converted him mind, body, and soul.
...
INTO RADIOACTIVE VAPOR!
Such inspiring bravado perhaps we shall mount you on a Golden Chair and make a idol of you as well... :)
FOR THE GOD EMPEROR!
Emperor: I'm pretty awesome. There should be more of me around.
*creates Primarchs and SM*
You know the Vindicare Assassin unit for the IG in DoW? Big sniper rifle? Officio Assassinorum is in charge of sending them out, along with other assassins(Eversor, etc)
Don't know about origins of the Inq, though one rumor states the Em at least started Ordo Malleus. Do you think the Inquisition has saved more lives than it has ended?
"Innocents die so that Humanity may live." -Gabriel Angelos
Historic refrenses in my Warhammer 40k? NOWAYYYY
He dont need to crush an ant... thanks to his legendary achievements he formed a force that will now, and always crush whole world and grind every force in universe as Empire does everyday...
You might want to visit ImperatorDominatus on UA-cam.
He's doing some fine compilations with music and DoW soundclips.
one: if he charges...chop him
two: if he retreats...chop him more
three: whun he'z dead ...lift the choppa an' kill anufer, WAAAAAGH!
If you let things take their course, there is no if, because the Golden Throne has experienced failures and no one understands it. I don't even know if it was meant to preserve the Emperor forever either, even if anyone knew how to maintain it. All the strength in the world won't help you fix, say, an air conditioner, if you don't know how it works.
It would be interesting to see what kind of condition he's in if he does reincarnate, mentally as well as physically.
PLASTIC BATTLE SISTER CONFIRMED THIS DAY!
You mean "A moment of free thought brings an instant death sentence"
well I guess what I said is to complicated for your simpleness. Also if you read the storyline for the sisters of battle it says that dominca and her sisters were called by the emperor into the golden throne to by the emperor even though he was in his current state then. After that the sister of battle order militant was formed with a secret mission by the emperor. It would appear that the emperor changed his mind about faith. Expescially after seeing chaos.
But don't you see? That's the beauty of it. Billions and billions of lives are sacrificed in the furnace of war, trillions cry out to this great golden figure who sits atop a grand throne... a withered corpse. Such a striking setting. Well, maybe it's just me, it struck me so much I even made a video.
How about the Planetary Defense Force? They're the home-grown, first line of defense for most Imperial worlds and are separate from the IG. As for the Emperor's "death" look to the Astronomicon
"The target is in view! Fire hunter-killer missile! Now!"
The goal of Chaos is not extermination, but rather domination.
There is a theory regarding positive Warp gods... which some believe the Emperor will eventually become.
Pish, the Dark Eldar can only deliver pinpricks; your dying race shall never muster the strength to even so much as *threaten* Holy Terra!
For the Changer of Ways!
Well...all I can say above all this argument is that the Sisters are more devoted to the Emperor than anyone else!! They are the true fists of the emperor! They have the right of authority of the Space Marines and Imperial Guards!
DarkScipio, if the Emperor could see what the space marines have turned into, he would weep.
And that depends on your trust to what they say about their deeds.
But I prefer to trust The Emperor :)
more like several trillion....and even the emperor didn't want to be treated like a god. He was just doing it to save humanity and his people.
I never played the nuns with guns in DoW. Their theme is amazing.
yeah and that's only if the imperial gaurd gets you. The Inquisition on the other hand... you don't want to know.
The Emperor And His Space Marines Shall Prevail
The said Sisters of Battle need a commisar to teach them how you do it.
Millerberto
Commissar: FEAR ME AND...
*Sisters of battle appears*
*Sisters sees Commisar's erection*
SoB: HERESY! TO ME SISTERS! THIS MAN MUST BE BURNED!
Just like you need your mom to do everything for you, you basement dweller
IF the Emperor does fall. He will come back even stronger than he already is. But as I said. IF he dies, that event is very unlikely. Because no matter how much the vile heretics of Chaos believe the might of the imperium is much more powerful then they are.
Gather thy affects, gather thy weapons, gather thy purity of thyn immortal god, babtize thyn hertics and mutants in fire and metal, become a servent of his will and become pure.
A SPIRITU DOMIATUS. Domine, libra nos.
Man, that Battle Sister has some bushy brows.
An eternity of prolonged pain and torment... drugged until you are begging for death seems somehow worse than what I mentioned ;)
Sure, some of them go, "FOR TERRA/OTHER HOMEWORLD!" or "FOR X CHAPTER/X REGIMENT"
The SM shout for the Emperor not because of religion, but because all SM can trace their lineage back to the Emperor. They are his children/grandchildren in a sense.
A man can fight for his home and still cry out for the Emperor to guide his hand as he strikes the enemy down.
I both senses of the word.
I speak for all us Tyranids when I say your Emperor will be dinner
For thee Emperor!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I for myself like the style of Dan Abnett. His Gaunt's ghosts novels are superb.
Bah, The space marines follow sects and creeds set BEFORE the imperium was even dry.
Roboute Gulliman set out rules for the astartes to follow, back when the emperor was WATCHING HIM DO IT. The marines are the same as they have always been, weapons for their father, defenders of humanity, and lunatics in armour with rather sexy weaponry.
Oh, and balls of steel to match, unlike the IG.
Thank you for correct. I've just copied the text into clip's description.
FOR THE EMPEROR!!!
If you see the IG, SoB, and SM as separate, you can also throw in the Adeptus Mechanicus, with their Skitarii/Tech-Guard forces.
Simple really. In the time known as the age of apostacy, the high lord of the Echlisiarchy rebeled from the Imperium. After they put him down, they issued a decree that the Echlisiarchy could no longer keep 'Men under arms'. To get around this, they picked fanatically religious women and stuck them in power armour. They are now the right hand of the Echlisiarchy in battle.
They didn't kick the entire Ecclesiarchy out. The high lord rebelled, and created the Sisters of Battle (at the time, I think they were called the Brides of the Emperor). They thought they were doing the Emperor's will, until their leader actually had a meeting with the Emperor. What was said in the meeting isn't told, but she ended up killing the high lord because of whatever the Emperor said; after that, they went back to the Imperium on the loyalist side, alongside the Marines and Guard.
nothing is confirmed yet but there are some pretty damn strong hints in Mechanicum
Played this stronghold in Titanium Wars mod and I had to reset persistent bodies, gauss turrents+zelots=blood bath.
The only name or cause worth fighting for and dying for is Chaos. All originated from Chaos and all will return to Chaos... Willingly or not. Those that oppose us are fools who shall be burnt with unholy fire. Those who embrace us shall have power by the will of the Dark Gods. Only Chaos will gain from your sacrifice.
For Chaos! For the Changer of the Ways!
If he could see what his beloved empire turned into he would weep. Obby.
For the Emperor!
Well, that doesn't quite sound like something a Sister would say. I mean, they're all for "WE WILL GO AS MARTYRS" and stuff.
no one the Golden Throne of Terra was Designed by the Emperor and built/modified in the twilight hours before he was joined with it.
