Vazzy Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 So, a bit of context first. In a short story I've written on this board tyranids have invaded a Dark Angels recruiting planet.This is a speech the Captain of the 3rd co. gives before the final battle. Tell me what you guys think. Brothers! I stand before you ready to fight! The Tyranids have put fear in the hearts of men for far too long! But we will crush them! For we are Dark Angels, the First Legion, The Honoured, Sons of the Lion, and we will not fail! As we prepare for battle remember all the worlds that have fallen to the Xenos. Minoria, Acadia,Fon Monir. Macragge.Let the fury you feel at these atrocities drive you. Never Forgive, Never Forget! Today we fight.Today we win.Today,we make history! Soldiers of Tribute, know no fear, for the Dark Angels fight besides you. Stand fast my brothers for the Emperor Himself walks with you! Death to the Xenos! For the Lion! For Tribute! For the EMPEROR! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/242497-a-rousing-speech-by-a-dark-angel/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interrogator Stobz Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 Quite a bit better than "let's get stuck in lads". :P stobz Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/242497-a-rousing-speech-by-a-dark-angel/#findComment-2931755 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaplain Lucifer Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 Quite the speech! ;tu; Although I think DA would never give a final battle speech. They aare aloof and have little contact with their allies during campaigns.

Brother-Sergeant Bohemond Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 It is a recruiting world, like Piscina, its a little bit different the ties are closer, so, I think it makes sense Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/242497-a-rousing-speech-by-a-dark-angel/#findComment-2931805 Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoonKin Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 Sorry to de-tracl, but did Maccrage fall to the Tyranid Invasion? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/242497-a-rousing-speech-by-a-dark-angel/#findComment-2931948 Share on other sites More sharing options...
WatchCaptainAzrael Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 Strictly speaking, it didn't. But it was never quite the same again. :) That said, Maccrage is the home of the Ultramarines and one of the better places of the Imperium, and therefore probably admired by quite a few Imperials. If the Captain had wanted to rouse the troops, evoking their anger at such a place being ruined by the Tyranids was an intelligent, calculated move. And DAs are nothing if not intelligent calculists.

And DAs are nothing if not intelligent calculists. this is exactly what I had in mind. Also does anyone see anything that needs fixing? Finally, if you haven't looked at my Dark Angels story it would be awesome if you did, link is in my sig.

Interrogator Stobz Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 Just read your story, I really like it. Couple of minor tweaks though, I commented there. Keep it coming, it's great. stobz Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/242497-a-rousing-speech-by-a-dark-angel/#findComment-2932583 Share on other sites More sharing options...
