Grand Master Tchezzarus Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 Hi guys, I'm planing on adding some text on my GM banner and vehicules. More exactly, I'm searching for the English version of the 666 verses p62 of the codex, and the prayer in the Dan Abnett book "Grey Knight" (the one begining by "I'm the Hammer..."). At the moment I've got the French DH dex, and I would like them in English, so if it don't breach the forum rules could you point me on webpages, or even better post them here for me? An other thing I'm looking for are Latin/Mock latin sentences on the same theme (and their translation... so I know what I'm painting on my models!). Thanks, Tchezz.

Grand Master Tyrak Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 Hi guys, I'm planing on adding some text on my GM banner and vehicules. More exactly, I'm searching for the English version of the 666 verses p62 of the codex, and the prayer in the Dan Abnett book "Grey Knight" (the one begining by "I'm the Hammer..."). I can help you with the second, its actually Ben Counter and I did have the whole pieced together as my sig at one time. I will try to find it for you. EDIT: Yes, here we are. It's never written down in a complete version, this is best I can come up with by piecing together the bits from the books and filling in some gaps myself. "I am the Hammer. I am the hate. I am the gauntlet about his fist, the point of his spear. I am the Hammer. I am the sword in His hand. I am the right hand of my Emperor, the instrument of His will. I am his sword just as he is my armour, I am His wrath, just as He is my zeal. Let us speak his word as He fuels the fire of our devotion. Let us fight His battles, as He fights the battle at the end of time, and let us join Him there, for duty ends not in death! I am the Hammer! I am the hate! I am the sword in His hand, the tip of His spear, I am the flight of His arrows! I am the gauntlet about His fist, the edge of his sword! I am a soldier in the battle at the end of time! I am the Hammer! I am the hate! I am the sword in His hand! I am the bane of his foes and the woes of the treacherous! I am the end, for I am The Hammer!"

Apogee Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 I'd put the banner on a model with twin Thunder Hammers, and write "We are the Ordo Malleus, and these are not the Hammer." Course, not many people are going to get that. See Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along-Blog. (Really, go see it, it's only 45 min long and great).

Verythrax Draconis Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 I don't know latin, but if you really want believable fake latin I can work something for you - I speak portuguese, so latin is pretty close.

Grand Master Tchezzarus Posted March 25, 2009 Author Share Posted March 25, 2009 @lowerlife : this streaming site could only be open if you're in the USA, so I can't access it. Thanks anyway. @Verithrax Draconis : thats really nice of you! As soon as I settle on one of the 666 verses I'll ask for your help!

ripath Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 "I am the Hammer. I am the hate. I am the gauntlet about his fist, the point of his spear. I am the Hammer. I am the sword in His hand.

Grand Master Tyrak Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 you forgot I am the woes of daemon kind. Thats my favorite part of that. To be honest, in the books it's never a set prayer. You could easily have an entirely different prayer based upon that same quotations present in the books. This is just my interpretation of how it might work, and to me there's no logical place to put that phrase. You could replace "the treacherous" with "daemonkind" I suppose. Probably the best thing to do is to read it aloud and see whether it works for you. If it doesn't feel right to you, change it. :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/164116-dh-prayer/#findComment-1930626 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Master Tchezzarus Posted March 26, 2009 Author Share Posted March 26, 2009 Many, many,many thanks tyrak! Now my GM & LR will have great "moto" : -GM : I am his sword just as he is my armour, I am His wrath, just as He is my zeal! -LR : I am the bane of his foes and the woes of the treacherous! And if you've got the time Verithrax Draconis, could you help me "translating" in mock latin (so it's still "understanable")? thanks in advance! Tchezz!
