Favorite epic lines / quotes . No specific setting.
Old but good.
Where I fall ten more shall take my place!
And one-hundred each of them!
So strike me down! I am the harbinger!
-Ollanius Pius
I really like the story of a simple guardsman stepping between Horus and the wounded Emperor.

Where was that from? I remember the character but not the exact source.

I honestly dont know from which book the line is from. Read it while browsing the web, and it really tickled my fancy. I'm a sucker for human defiance when facing overwhelming odds.

but the man was a perpetual and he knew iiit

Fuck youuuu it totally goes against the original intention and devalues the story.
Hack writer is hack.

Oh bugger off

Actually, he never once died IIRC.
That's beside the point, though, as originally the character was literally a generic guardsman who had a name instead of a designation.

Even accounting for Perpetuals, getting bitch slapped by THE champion of Chaos will smack the immortality right out of you I'm guessing. I think Pius will still give his life and I don't think it's worth getting worked up over, he's basically tried to be an Everyman for his whole long life.

>Only one human captain has ever survived battle with a Minbari Fleet. He is behind me. You are in front of me. If you value your lives, be somewhere else!
"They shall be my finest warriors, these men who give of themselves to me. Like clay I shall mould them, and in the furnace of war forge them. They will be of iron will and steely muscle. In great armour shall I clad them and with the mightiest guns will they be armed. They will be untouched by plague or disease, no sickness will blight them. They will have tactics, strategies and machines so that no foe can best them in battle. They are my bulwark against the Terror. They are the Defenders of Humanity. They are my Space Marines and they shall know no fear."
- The Emperor of Mankind
>The truth is, you're the weak, and I'm the tyranny of evil men. But I'm trying real hard to be the shepherd.
"Hulk. Is. Cold"
-Hulk
It's from a comic I forgot but it was basically after world war X killed everyone and hulk just hid in a cave for 50 years. If someone would find the source that would be great.
>Travellin' through space is boring. Well, boring unless da hulk yer on is full of dem gene-sneakers, or a base fer da chaos lads wiv da spikes, or already has Boyz on it. Or if humie lootas come callin', that's always good fer a bit a sport. Or unless yer have a mutiny or two to pass da time, or unless strange fings start happenin', which dey usually do when yer out in da warp. One time we had some bloody great ugly fing come straight out of Weird Lugwort's 'ed! It butchered half da lads, that was pretty entertainin'. Come ter fink of it, space is a pretty good larf. And that's before yer find yerself a nice world ta crush
