Blood Angely words


Darklighter

Recommended Posts

 

Wow that is a nice find and I can see being very useful indeed. My first go on it gave me this gem!

 

 

 

"Neque porro quisquam est qui dolorem ipsum quia dolor sit amet, consectetur, adipisci velit..."

"There is no one who loves pain itself, who seeks after it and wants to have it, simply because it is pain..."

 

 

I'm so going to have to put this on a Landraider or Stormraven.

 

Thanks - and nice find there ;)

 

Its actually a rather old text thats been used since forever by graphic designers as 'placeholder text', when the final manuscript wasn't ready ;)

Bear in mind that the BA are a mixture o latin/angelic and rennaisance italian so some Italian phrases or wods coul be good substitutes for latin stuff.

A tutto c'è rimedio, fuorchè alla morte.

Nice work Brother Captain Kezef. I'm not sure how I'd got about doing this my self, but that is a nice list to get me started! The Italian/Latin is exactly what I was originally looking for in respect of my own blood angel army. Thank you for your input you've been added to the article already.

I've found some good quotes from the last three printed codexs and I was wondering if people would be so kind as to translate them for me in to Latin and or Italian?

 

“We are the Vengeance of the Blood Angels made manifest. Fear our wrath.”

 

“No hymn can be so uplifting as the roar of these guns.”

 

“Drink deep of victory and remember the fallen.”

 

“Be bloody, bold and resolute.”

Motto of the Blood Angels 10th Company.

 

Thanks in advance and no worries if you can't. :cuss

“Be bloody, bold and resolute.” - Este cruenti, audaces et certi.

 

Thank you very much.

 

Ok I have a nice pile of names and quotes. The list of words is growing, but it's not as strong as I'd like it to be. So if people can think of anymore I can add to the list it would be a great help.

 

Here is a list of words I have so far.

 

Single words.

Honour

Valour

Blood

Angel

Sanguine

Vengeance

Retribution

Redemption

Fury

Baal

Death

Loyalty

Fury

Duty

Glorious 9th (IX)

Imperatoris

Morte

Rage

Glory

Victory

Wrath

Zeal

 

Common words translated to Latin

Angel - angelus

Gold - aurum

Red - rubrum

Blood - sanguinem

Anger - ira

Fury - furor

Fire – ignis

Honour – Honora

Valour – Virtus

Vengeance – Vindictam

Death – Mortem

Loyalty – Pietas

Duty – Officium

Glorious – Gloriosa

Assault – Impetum

Weapon – Telum

Oath – Sacramentum

Emperor – Imperator

War – Bellum

Vampire – Lamia

Justice – Iustitia

Shield – Scutum

Sacrifice – Sacrificium

Faith – Fidem

Zeal – Zelum

Hunter – Venator

Guardian - Custos

 

Again this is not all that will be in the Artical just the area I think needs the most work.

Thank you very much.
No problem.

 

Blood - sanguinem

Death – Mortem

Assault – Impetum

Faith – Fidem

Those are actually in the accusative case. The nominative is sanguis, mors, impetus and fides respectively.
Honour – Honora
Nope. It's honor. Honora is an adjective. It is either the feminine form nominative singular of honorus - honorable or the neutral form nominative or accusative plural.
Vengeance – Vindictam
Nope. Ultio is vengeance

 

Loyalty – Pietas
Fides would probably fit better. I would translate pietas with piety

 

Glorious – Gloriosa
yes if you are talking about a female. A male is gloriosus, a thing gloriosum and more than one of either are gloriosae, gloriosi and gloriosa respectively
Weapon – Telum
I would translate that back to ranged weapon. For melee it is ferrum (literally iron).
