| A | Abaddon the Despoiler | Horus was weak. Horus was a fool. He had the whole galaxy within his grasp and he let it slip away. | Codex: Chaos Space Marines (3rd Edition), p. 44 |
| B | Fabius Bile at the Desecration of Kanzuz IX | If a man dedicates his life to good deeds and the welfare of others, he will die unthanked and unremembered. If he exercises his genius bringing misery and death to billions, his name will echo through the millenia for a hundered lifetimes. Infamy is always more preferable to ignominy. | Codex: Chaos Space Marines (4th Edition), p. 53 |

| I | Ferrous Ironclaw - Warsmith of the Iron Warriors Second Grand Company | We fight the long war, not through vain notions of duty and honour, but through a far purer purpose: hatred. At the height of our glory we were betrayed and cast out by our kin. Guilliman, Dorn, Sanguinius-these are names I curse. Horus, Perturabo, Angron-these are names I revere, names I would follow to the very end. It is this hatred that has sustained me through the long millenia. I tend it with bitterness. I nurture it with the deaths of my former brothers. For I know that when the end is upon us and Horus is returned, then the false emperor shall be cast down from his sepulchural Golden Throne, and we shall take our rightful place at the side of Horus, the true Emperor of Mankind. | Codex: Chaos Space Marines (3rd Edition), p. 82 |
| Harkan Ironfist | I salute you! For though our path has been long and bloody, you have served our Lord with unflinching courage and the honour of true warriors. We have seen many fall today and must remember, even as we die, that our blood too is welcome... | Codex: Chaos Space Marines (4th Edition), p. 36 | |
| K | Heretical teachings of Magos Elizah Kaudge | Flesh and bone are weak and mutable, and yet the daemonic is ultimately insubstatial and impotent. To be master of both matter and energy, and blend this mastery with ultimate control of one's consciouness, is to achieve true immortality - neither confined by the material, nor divorced from it. | Codex: Chaos Space Marines (4th Edition), p. 35 |
| Khârn of the World Eaters | Kill! Maim! Burn! Kill! Maim! Burn! Kill! Maim! Burn! Kill! Maim! Burn! Kill! Maim! Burn! Kill! Maim! Burn! Kill! Maim! Burn! | Codex: Chaos Space Marines (3rd Edition), p. 49 | |
| Teachings of Gaiak Krustellam, Dark Magos | The revelation of spirit when encountering the power of Chaos is as freeing for the machine as it is for the mortal mind. It is our duty to create this blessed state of union. | Codex: Chaos Space Marines (4th Edition), p. 44 | |
| M | Proclamation of Magnus the Red | The minds of gods are not for mortals to know or to judge. Accept that Tzeentch has a place for all of us in his grand scheme, and be happy in the part you have to play. | Codex: Chaos Space Marines (4th Edition), p. 37 |
| P | Gauwe Psgas | It is the fate of the weak to die unknown, and the destiny of the strong to rule for eternity. Give me glory, or give me death! | Codex: Chaos Space Marines (4th Edition), p. 81 |

| Their baying chills the heart and spreads icy tendrils of fear through weak mortal souls. And yet worse, yet more terrible to behold, are the huntsmen of this fell pack. Following close upon the Hounds, urging them ever forward, come deformed shapes, running and shrieking, driven by the insatiable blood-hunger of their kind. With twisted crimson bodies they stride across the blighted land, crouched over as if the better to track their prey's terror. Masters of the hunt, they seek the blood of Man to spill at the foot of their master's Skull Throne +++ unknown +++ |
| The common man is like a worm in the gut of a corpse, trapped inside a prison of cold flesh, helpless and uncaring, unaware even of the inevitability of its own doom +++ unknown +++3 |

| And what are the achievements of your fragile Imperium? It is a corpse rotting slowly from without while maggots writhe in its belly. It was built with the toil of heroes and giants, and now it is inhabited by frightened weaklings to whom the glories of those times are half-forgotten legends. I have forgotten nothing and my wisdom has expanded far beyond mere mortal frailties. +++ Ahriman of the Thousand Sons +++ |
| Long shall be your suffering. Joyous be your pain. +++ Asteroth, Daemon prince of Slaanesh +++ |

| Though the gates that stand between the mortal world and the immortal Realm of Chaos are now closed to me, still I would rather die having glimpsed eternity than never to have stirred from the cold furrow of mortal life. I embrace death without regret as I have embraced life without fear. +++ Kargos Bloodspitter, Champion of Khorne +++3 |
C
| Stand forth, Servant. The Sword you carry has been smelted in the heat of your anger, forged upon your desire, tempered in your hate, quenched in your soul, polished with your loyalty, furnished with your bones and skin, tested in your hand, and borne in my name. You Slave, are mine, as much as the Blade... +++ Realm of Chaos: Slaves to Darkness, Chaos Weapons +++1 |
| Like the great storm of the Horus Heresy, the forces of the True Gods will descend upon the Emperor's minions. The stars will tremble at their passage and the mighty armadas of the Warmaster Abaddon will bring annihilation to a hundred worlds. Know this, for these things will come to pass. +++ Constanze the Prophetess, burned as a Heretic 687.M38 +++ |
F
| The Dark Gods and their slaves have nothing to offer me now, but I have far more to offer them +++ Fabius Bile +++ |
| Follow me, my Children, and the glory of victory shall be yours. We shall cleanse ourselves in the crimson waters of our enemy. We shall bring the ecstasy of quick release to those who stand before us. We shall give bloody praise to the Lord of Pleasure and sing his name as we dance across the fallen. Follow me, my Children, and you shall taste the undreamt joys that lie beyond the bounds of mortal sense. +++ Fabius Bile, Lieutenant Commander of the Emperor's Children (original reference to Fabius Bile in Realm of Chaos: Slaves to Darkness) +++1 |

| The day will not save them. And we own the night. +++ attributed to Warmaster Horus before the assault on the Imperial Palace +++ |
K
| Do not ask which creature screams in the night
Do not ask which creature screams in the night,
Do not question who waits for you in the shadow.
It is my cry that wakes you in the night,
And my body that crouches in the shadow.
I am Tzeentch and you are the puppet
That dances to my tune. |
| "Attack" is the only order worth remembering. +++ Khârn the Betrayer +++1 |
N
| Let us play hide and slay! +++ The Nine Heads of Nurgle +++ |
| We're so loud you wanna die Go forth and amplify |
| Your presence does not surprise me Assassin. I have known of you since your craft entered the Eastern Fringes. Why did I not have you killed? Because your mission and the act you are about to commit proves the truth of all I have ever said or done. I merely punished those who had wronged, just as your false Emperor now seeks to punish me. Death is nothing compared to vindication. +++ Primarch Konrad Curze, aka Night Haunter, moments before his death at the hands of Callidus Assassin M'Shen +++ |

| The bolts from our guns shall be as thick as flies on a corpse, our followers shall be as numerous as maggots on rotting flesh and news of our victory will spread through the armies of our enemies like a plague. +++ Augury of Sarcidius, Death Guard Librarian +++ |
T
| Take care, lest your protests grow tiresome. I have asked for so little! Anyone would think that I have asked you to sacrifice yourselves and all your family! And yet, in Slaanesh's boundless and pleasing mercy, I have asked only for your daughters. Surely you would not deny me my small enjoyments? +++ Tyrell, Renegade Lord of Arden IX +++1 |
