CoffeeGrunt Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 When you deploy an intercontinental ballistic missile equipped with a nuclear warhead to the frontline, because what good is the immolation of heresy without being able to bask in the explosion's holy light?

Dead Men Walking was the best romance novel I have ever read, great book. Now, I may have to steal all my renegade tanks and fliers and say the New krieg tank regiment need this more then you. Don't worry you can keep the horde of mutants and the artillery. i don't need another army, but they are that awesome.

ThatOneMarshal Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 You know when your an imperial guardsmen when even your friends use you as a meat shield! Also when you play battlefield and over the voice chat you grab your imperial guard codex and start yelling quotes from the book into the mic. This works to annoy 12 year olds to no end. Also you play dawn of war 2 with a friend and later in the game you grab as many manticores as you can and just spam artillery were ever your friend is.

librisrouge Posted January 29, 2015 Author Share Posted January 29, 2015 Spoiler for Fury film: When you watch the movie "Fury" and shed tears when the tanks machine spirit is finally snuffed out. Dude! Spoiler alert! Some of us are waiting for Netflix to pick it up (I kid, I already knew that was going to be the ending.) ...when your enemy drops their FMCs in front of your army, knowing all you have are lasguns to bring it down since everything else will either miss (it does) or are blasts. 180 shots later that Hive Tyrant went down like a brick.
