T14 Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 This is an attempt to compile a list of words, sayings and vows in High Gothic. For those unaware of it, GW seems to employ dog latin as a way to confer the baroque nature of High Gothic in the fluff. The aim is to create words and sentences that are vaguely recognizable to the english speaker, and most importantly, that sound cool. Feel free to suggest alternative translations if you find something you like. The rule of cool is king. I also take requests :) In no particular order: Atra Templariorum - Black Templars. Non permittant vivere impuritus - Suffer not the unclean to live. Onera accipiunt, obstantibus consequentii - Accept the challenge, no matter the odds. Abhorrent Maleficarum, perdam Maleficarum - Abhor the witch, Destroy the witch. Suscipe honorem imperatoris - Uphold the honour of the Emperor. Honestum est vita tua. nemo contradicere - Your honour is your life, let none dispute it. Tu lux vestra portate imperatoris voluntatem. In ea, dissipet umbras - You carry the Emperor's will as your torch. With it, destroy the shadows. Resistitur inefficax. Tua purgabitur - Resistance is futile, you will be purged. Fratres Gladio - Sword Brethren. Sanctus incendii - Holy (hand) grenade. Imperator protegit - The Emperor Protects. Imperator Vult - The Emperor Wills it. Ave Imperator - Hail the Emperor. More to come :P -T14 Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/245970-bt-in-high-gothic/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshal Reinhard Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Here's an actual historic phrase, uttered some 2400 years ago by Brennus Vae Victis! - Woe to the conquered!

Marshal Malathir Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 I'm no expert in Latin, so am relying on an online translator for these. Feel free to point out any mistakes. Sino non immunda vivo-Suffer not the unclean to live. Fulcio veneratio Imperator-Uphold the honour of the Emperor. Abhor veneficus, attero veneficus-Abhor the witch, destroy the witch. Recipero ullus challenge, haud res odds-Accept any challenge, no matter the odds.

T14 Posted January 24, 2012 Author Share Posted January 24, 2012 Feel free to point out any mistakes. High gothic is Dog Latin. mistakes do not exist :D The only rule is to make it sound cool :D If you prefer to soothe the nerves of any Linguist readers you may consider using the translator tool back and forth a few times to ensure consistency. -T14 Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/245970-bt-in-high-gothic/#findComment-2976114 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firepower Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Hooray or google translate, and my lack of latin knowledge, without which I might question some of the grammar ;) Ferrum Fidem~ Faith in Steel, or Faith in the Sword. Proudly displayed on the name plate of my LRC ;) Eligentur Igni~ Purify with fire Lux Tenebris~ Light the Shadows Unum genus per galaxiae~ One race per Galaxy ^_^ Expurgate inmundus~ Purge the unclean Ut enim Genocide fregit~ We Brake for Genocide, the holiest of the Eternal Crusader's bumper stickers. Fides est Veritas~ Faith is Truth Doce gladio. Learn scuto.~ Teach with the sword. Learn with the shield. Imperial gibba pugnus~ Imperial fist-bump. ;) Supinus rotulis feces~ :) rolls downhill. Invaluable motto for Neophyte initiation, i.e. "Why do I have to get between the Lascannon and you, Master?" "Supinus rotulis feces, noob!"

Marshal Severarse Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Informative and funny, especially the Monty Python references and the neo initiation motto. Too bad this sort of British humour is being strained out of 40k. Oh well, guess you can't have humor and grimdark.

Honda Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Fide Video = By faith I see Backstory: I have a chaplain in my army known as the Blind Prophet and as I was putting him together, the idea of him being able to visualize through his faith in the emperor. I intend to make a Templars version of him once my crusade takes off.
