Boltgun Prayer?

[ArgumentGuy]

I thought I read somewhere of a prayer or litany said over a Marine's holy bolter. I wanted to find something like this to put on a large purity seal that I'm making, but I can't find it anywhere.

 

Anyone out there know of anything like this?

[Razblood]

"Oh holy crap, I think my vengeance round just jammed" :D

 

Not too sure about this? I remember there being something in one of the old editions, possibly 2nd ed. Wargear book?

[TheDarkApostle]

While not technically Space Marine litanies or prayers :D

 

From the Infantryman's Uplifting Primer:

 

Litany of Penetration

(To be recited when firing a weapon)

Of Holy Emperor, hear my prayer,

Guide this missile, hold it true,

Let it part their steel and weak armor,

And crack their cowardly skin,

And smite the foe from Your sight.

 

Litany of True Striking

(To be recited when firing a projectile weapon)

Sweet Emperor, guide this missile into the hearts of Your foes.

 

Litany of Smiting

(To be voiced before firing a projectile weapon, and repeated until the missile finds its target)

Holy Emperor, deliver us from the Darkness of the Void, guide my weapon in Your service.

 

Prayer of Smiting

(To be used as an alternative of the Litany of Smiting)

Spirits in the Machine,

Reward my faith,

And smash the target.

 

Litany of Accuracy

(To be recited quietly, during the aim and before taking the shot)

Grant me the sight of the eagle, the calm of the breeze, the patience of a saint and the skill to smite the foe from afar.

 

Perhaps something that's useful at least?

[Jacinda]

I don't remember seeing one, but I would guess it would look something like ....

Instare descendit in emporium pessulus et tollere emporium. Recesserunt in dictum et condimentum inspicere cubiculum ad certa est expositae.

 

Clauditis RELABOR ad illud in eius "aperta" situm tenacis utraque in dictum cum sinistram vel dexteram et instaret dictum statur sursum. Est a rhoncus in dictum quod movet dictum statur vecte, innititur in SR40 in eius concluso, aperta positio.

 

Tenere pressionis dictum statur dum in patentibus positio, et cum indicem, posuit ejector vecte in eius deinceps positio impellendo eam & deinceps.

 

Custodi firma præsidium in dictum statur quia fontem in in dictum est sub extrema pressura et nocere digito si accidens dimittere in dictum statur.

 

Ventilabis in in accipe-descendit paxillus in dexteram Ruger SR40, et vos animadverto trans accipe-descendit paxillus oblongum extrorsum in sinistram de artus. Acus ex indiuiduis tollere.

 

Sit dictum movere deinceps tardius, et ut fontem plene decompresses, relevare PROLABOR et tollere a SR40 scriptor artus.

 

Tenere dictum concitant et tollere resilire ex sedem. Cum pollicem in fronte finem dictum, trahendum resilire vere cum constans pressionem deprimant tensio in fontem, levare resilire vere off in a deinceps motus et tollere resilire ex hydria TRAHO.

 

Tollere dolium a PRAETERLABOR strenuo dolium deinceps et elevans eam ex.

 

Which is the instructions on how to field strip a Rugar SR40 run through google translator to latin.

Seen a few people convert the Rifleman's Creed from the US Marine Corp, changing rifle to bolter and God to Emperor and/or Primarch:

i was thinking the same thing.

 

though a sm without a bolter is still something haha.

[Dragon Claw]

There's an old chant for the 'standard' weapons in a tactical squad from 3rd ed codex space marines which goes as follows:

 

With the bolter, cleanse the unclean.

WE WILL CLEANSE!

With the flamer, purify the unholy.

WE WILL PURIFY!

With the Chainsword, purge the corrupt.

WE WILL PURGE!

With the missile, kill the impure.

WE WILL KILL!

 

Also from way back in the old mists of time from Space Marine are the following:

 

Litany of Devotion:

Where there is uncertainty, I shall bring light.

Where there is doubt, I shall sow faith.

Where there is shame, I shall point atonement.

Where there is rage, I shall show its course.

My words in the soul shall be as my bolter in the field.

 

The Battle Litany of the Space Wolves:

One are the weapon and warrior,

One being in mind and in will,

This One is the centre of being,

Around it stands everything still.

 

Kalan's squad maxim:

In the Emperor we believe. In the Emperor we trust. In his name we cleanse. Let our weapons purify.

[NemFX]

Please don't jam

Please don't jam

I promise to feed you and take you for walks

But please don't jam

Because then you'll explode

Cause we shoot grenades

[Heretics]

When I was In basic training for infantry men they made us recite a creed untill it drilled into our heads. my friend and i re wrote it for warhammer 40k i hope you guys like it and i will attach latin as well if you want it for a banner or what not.

 

The Space Marine Creed (adapted from the army's Infantrymen creed)

 

I am a Space Marine.

I am my Emperor's strength in war.

The deterrent in peace.

I am the heart of the fight-

wherever, whenever.

I carry Terra's faith and honor

against her enemies.

I am the Queen of Battle.

 

I am what my Emperor expects me to be-

the best trained solider in the world.

In the race for victory

I am swift, determined, and courageous,

armed with a fierce will to win.

 

Never will I betray my Primarch's trust.

always I fight on-

through the foe,

to the objective,

to triumph over all,

If necessary, I will fight to my death.

 

By my steadfast courage,

I have won 40,000 years of freedom.

I yield not to weakness,

to hunger,

to cowardice,

to fatigue,

to superior odds,

for I am mentally tough, physically strong,

and morally straight.

 

I forsake not-

my Emperor,

my Primarch,

my Chapter,

my Brethren.

 

I am relentless.

I am always there,

now and forever.

I AM A SPACE MARINE!

PURGE THE UNCLEAN!

 

 

Then Latin Varient

Ego principis militiae virtutis.

In deterrendum in pacem.

Ego cor pugna-

ubicumque, quoties.

Ego ferre Terra fidem et honorem

inimicis.

Regina sum Bello.

 

Ego sum ​​quod imperatori expectat me ad esse-

optimum docta VIR in mundi.

In genus victoriam

Ego velox determinatum fortissimique

armatus furoris voluntatem vincere.

 

Numquam traderet mea Primarch scriptor fiduciam.

semper pugnare in-

per hostem,

ad objecto,

ad triumphum super omnes,

Si necesse pugnabo ad mortem.

 

Mea stabilis animi,

Ego parta 40.000 annis libertatis.

Ego cedere non infirmitate,

ad fame,

ignavia,

ad superior dissident,

quia sum mente lenta, corporaliter fortis,

et moraliter recta.

Fratres.

 

Ego sum ​​immitis.

Ego sum ​​semper ibi,

nunc et aeternum.

Sum spatium CLASSICUS!

EXPURGO AD INCESTUS!

[Master Barachiel]

Inspired by the US Marines' Hymn (

):

 

 

From the holy ground of Terra

To the distant Halo stars.

We fight the Imperium’s battles

In the air, on land, and sea;

First to fight for might and glory

And to keep our honor clean:

We are proud to claim the title

Of Imperial Space Marines.

Our Chapter emblems shall be seen

From Krieg to Nocturne.

We have fought on every type of world

Where we could take a gun.

On the frozen ground of Valhalla

And in the Heat of Catachan.

You will find us always ready

to fight for the Emperor.

Here’s hope to you and our Chapter

Which we are proud to serve.

Our eteranal crusade will not end

Until every world is free.

If the Guard and the Navy

ever look on Heaven’s scenes;

they will find our drop pods falling

containing Space Marines.

As a US Marine, I can't decide if I'm offended or flattered by this. :P

[FashaTheDog]

"Oh ye holy piece of crap I beseech thee,

Unleash thy divine fury only whence the firing stud be depressed.

 

Oh ye blessed bucket of bolts I ask thee,

Jam not and explode not in mine face, thus smiting me.

 

Oh ye anointed lump of worthless metal, I pray to thee,

Let thy rounds fly truer than those of a blunderbuss."

 

Or how about:

 

"This is my Bolter, this is gun!

One is for purging heretics, the other is for fun."
