Commissar von Fredrick Gentlemen, today we will cover unique fire support options available to commanders of most Imperial Guard and Adeptus Mechanicus forces, primarily from Imperial Cruise Missile. These deadly weapons are unique in their long range, accuracy, and wide variety of warhead choices. It is the warhead choices that make these weapons truly unique. For Imperial Cruise Missile are one of the few in which commanders can tailor to meet their combat needs. Whether that need be creating battlefield obstacles, providing cover for your advancing troops, or smashing any enemy war engine to bits. Gentlemen, you must, however, analyze your mission and the enemy wisely before you make any warhead decisions. For once the warheads are mated to their missile airframes you will likely be stuck with them for the duration of an entire operation.

Speaker Quote Source
Acting-Captain Haines,
47th Armageddon Steel Legion
I've fought in this endless hateful war for eight months now, night and day. In that time I've aged a decade. My hair has turned grey, nearly all my squad have died, and I doubt I'll ever smile again. I've fought next to heroes and strangled men in their sleep. But I'm still alive and by the Emperor I plan to stay that way.

Speaker Quote Source
Colonel Schaeffer You're all here because you are traitors to Mankind and the Immortal Emperor. You are here because you have failed in your sworn duty to protect his domains and subjects, and you have perverted his trust in you for your own misguided ends. You have sacrificed your part in securing the future of the whole of humanity for your own selfish gain. To kill you would be to accept that you can no longer save your immortal souls. If you were to be ushered into the Emperor's presence now, the scales would tip badly against you when the deeds of your life are weighed up by his Almighty Presence. This is why I give you a last chance to prove yourselves worthy of the Emperor's forgiveness. This is why you are here - to save yourselves from eternal damnation.
- to his Last Chancers

Colonel "Snake" Stranski, Commander Cadian 114th Mechanised Infantry Captain, the reason we've got these tracks is to get us into trouble faster. Now I suggest you mount up and move out. The enemy is that way, don't stop 'til you find him, and don't come back 'til you've beaten him. missing source

Speaker Quote Source
J'blann Threekiller,
Tiger Lizards (12th/23rd Davin Regiment)
When the Titan walks, only the dead have no fear. The brave warrior faces his fear and the Titan, and kills the enemies of the Great Brother-Warrior Horus. The Titan's steps shake the land beneath our feet, lightning is in its veins, and the sun is in its heart. The shadow of the Titan weighs upon our hearts, yet we fight against it. My knife and my gun-of-light will conquer, and the Titan's death scream will be my prayer, for my weapons shine with courage. missing source
Rifleman Tyla,
Scout Company, Pardus 34th Regiment

Speaker Quote Source
Commissar Sebastian Yarrick I have followed you too far to fail now Ghazghkull Thraka. I bear the gift of death. You cannot outrun me. There's no place in this universe where you can hide. I have waited a long time for vengeance. I'm tired but not so tired I cannot kill you. Maybe then I won't see the faces of the dead. Maybe then I'll be able to sleep.

Quote Speaker Source
For seven terrible years the Siege regiments of the Imperial Guard carried out their onerous duty, manning the hundreds of miles of trenches and fortified positions that served to contain the arch-heretic’s forces. Success was measured in yards of ground gained, and every inch of that deadly ground was bought with the blood and lives of men. From the official history of the Kaiserschlect Campaign, M41.745 missing source

We’ve been claiming this damned planet for the Imperium all of my life, and all of my father and grandfathers lives before that. I just wish someone would get round to telling those damned Orks to get off our damned land! Anonymous missing source
